Conan’s New Character: Bugatti Veyron Mouse!

By John Coyle

Conan O’Brien has been taking shots at NBC since he found out he’s getting screwed out of The Tonight Show, and last night, he decided to start introducing “new comedy bits that aren’t so much funny as they are crazy expensive.” And while the Masturbating Bear is still my favorite character, I think the Bugatti Veyron Mouse is sheer brilliance. This whole clip is funny, but the Bugatti bit starts at 1:25.

johncoyle206 is correct… One of my business savvy friends told me that each Veyron is considered its own corporation with the owner controlling 99.99% of the company( in this case the car) and the munufacterer controlling .01% that way bugatti has a legal right to sue if the car is not properly being used. (Lexus is going to do the same thing with the LF-A to control who purchases it)… the point being NBC can now get sued for showing a Veyron in a negative way (mouse ears)

It is very similar to a co-op

@brad_jolly He still stuck it to them, although not as hard as if he’d actually bought the Bugatti. Mick Jagger went to the London School of Economics, and is very savvy financially. Do you have any idea how much it costs to play “Satisfaction” on the air?

I think they should have kept CoCo but wouldn’t it be even more funny if Leno had loaned him the Veyron?

i happen to think he is hilarious. and i would normally get mad at anyone for doing even the most minute modification to a Bugattie Veyron, i am all for this one. This is the perfect way to stick it to the man!

As if I needed any more proof that Conan is an un-funny idiot.
