Comic Con Is Going Virtual This Year, Will Still Have Plenty of Comedy Panels, and Will Be Free
July 9, 2020
News
adventure time, American Dad!, archer, Bless the Harts, bob's burgers, comic con, Crossing Swords, Duncanville, family guy, Infinity Train, looney tunes, phineas and ferb, robot chicken, solar opposites, superstore, The Boys, the-simpsons, Upload, what we do in the shadows

Something the size of world famous, annual San Diego Comic-Con obviously isn’t going to happen this year due to the pandemic. However, rather than just outright postponing, Comic-Con is going to try for virtual editions of their renowned panels that reveal insider info and details from creators and talent of movies, TV, comic-books, etc.

They’re calling it Comic-Con@Home and it’ll stream from Jul. 22nd-26th and, best of all, it’ll be free (or maybe not waiting to get into Hall H is better?). This virtual edition of SDCC will include panel discussion from What We Do In the Shadows, Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, Solar Opposites, Robot Chicken, Archer, Crossing Swords, Duncanville, Upload, The Boys, Superstore, Adventure Time, Infinity Train, Phineas and Ferb, Bless the Harts, American Dad!, Family Guy, Looney Tunes, and Bill & Ted Face the Music.

Look through the entire Comic-Con@Home schedule and get details on how to stream all of these events here.

Glad to see that Conan’s Andrés du Bouchet got to reprise his spot on creepy Butterscotch clown character for the upcoming release of the It Chapter Two sequel and really went all out for it (especially for Conan being at Comic-Con this week).

Most of all, you have to appreciate how Team Coco got away with the ending of this sketch. See it all for yourself here.

As a comedy horror series, Stan Against Evil is already at certain level of funhouse chaos, especially having had two seasons under its belt.

From the looks of this season 3 teaser unveiled at Comic-Con, they’re raising their own bar on how bonkers they want to get including sentient puppets and their own version of Mulder and Scully. We’re on board for all of that and more.

See for yourself here, then look for the season premiere on Halloween on IFC.

Team Coco is sure having a bunch fun down in San Diego right now doing their annual visit to Comic-Con.

Every so often… 

…there comes a time… 

…when UCB here in LA wants to do a very ambitious immersive comedy show… 

…and use all the rooms at their disposal (specifically at UCB Sunset)…

…to give you one hell of a comedy experience!

That time is… this Saturday, July 21st when Cheap Ass Comic-Con presented by the Unfinished Target at Sunset and Western.

UCB has done a few of these over the years and they’ve always been otherworldly and so damn funny. So, don’t miss this latest one where they do a send-up of Comic-Con (also, it might be a great way to get an approximation of the Comic-Con experience without spending a whole lot of money and going to San Diego).

They’ve got three times that you can go this Saturday, 7PM, 8:30PM, and 10PM all at $12 a pop. 

We highly recommend to get your tickets to catch this (probably) one time only Cheap Ass Comic-Con.

One of our favorite Andrés du Bouchet characters on Conan makes another appearance just to say that the “very real” country of Boliviguay not only has their own Comic-Con, but one that rivals the biggest one in the world, the San Diego Comic-Con (AKA THE Comic-Con).

Watch and enjoy every little detail here. You might have to watch it repeatedly to savor all of it.

Bob’s Burgers Season 8 to Have Very First Holiday Special and a Completely Fan Drawn Episode for the Premiere

Announced at Comic Con this past weekend, Loren Bouchard and company have even more fun than usual planned for the latest season of Bob’s Burgers. It’s kind of surprising to think that they haven’t done a holiday special yet, but it’s crazier to think that they’ll kick off season 8 with a crowdsourced episode.

Look for this new Bob’s Burgers to start on Sunday, October 1st on Fox.

Robot Chicken really doubled up when headed to Comic Con this year.

Season 9 of the stop motion animated series will take on Mad Max, Westworld, and even Homestar Runner. On top of that, Seth Green and co. will be dedicating a whole special that sends up the hit zombie drama, Walking Dead.

Sounds pretty fun, right?

Both will be coming soon to Adult Swim, but, until then you can watch trailers for both here and here respectively.

The 90s were very modern relative the rest of human history. However, that decade was 20 years ago and so much has changed as technology has evolved at a pace that no other generation has seen before.

The reboot of Rocko’s Modern Life, that’s coming to Nickelodeon next year, pays respect to this notion and, in doing so, makes the name of the show even more impactful. 

Watch the teaser here.

As Team Coco is currently responsible for some of the best sketches in late night, they don’t disappoint with this opening. Enjoy it here.

Conan O’Brien’s revered tradition of annually visiting Comic-Con begins this evening at 11PM on TBS and goes through Sunday. 

Since Conan got all suited up for Comic Con in this custom made costume last year, we can only wonder what he’ll do to possibly top that this year.

Conan O’Brien going to Comic-Con every year is one of the best annual traditions going in late night. 

Last week, he announced that they’ll be doing episodes from July 19th-23rd from the world famous Comic-Con in San Diego and unveiled a new batch of those adorable Conan themed Funko Pop! Vinyl figurines, which include a Conan version of: Spider-Man, Jedi, The Flash, and a White Walker.

If you’re at Comic-Con, getting to see this is probably, we’d say, as going to a panel at Hall H.

The final night of Conan’s latest visit to Comic Con had the cast of Game of Thrones as guests.

So, in honor of them, Conan O’Brien did a Game of Thrones bit where he got to imitate Melisandre in her more infamous form. 

Also, Andy Daly plays a bell hop that’s pretty great.

‘Conan’ Returning To Comic-Con In 2017

Between the big live shows, his own custom made superhero costume, new sets of Pop Vinyl figurines every year, and getting to roam free around the convention as only Conan O’Brien does, we think this tradition should never end so long as Conan is doing his show.

Will Arnett to Host SyFy Presents Live From Comic-Con

(via Deadline)

We’d bet that since Conan O’Brien will also be there, pranks will happen.

SyFy is launching a live telecast from the world renowned San Diego Comic-Con and have scored Will Arnett as a host. Arnett will be bouncing around between fans, celebrities, sneak peeks, etc. over three nights starting July 21st. 

Any takers on whether he’d run into more fans that would do his Arrested Development chicken dance or wear a BoJack Horseman mask? 

Conan Has “Conan in Qatar” Set for Jan. 25th and Is Returning to Comic Con

(via TV Insider)

More of Conan O’Brien roaming around is a great thing.

Last year, it was announced that Conan O’Brien and Team Coco would have six different week long trips that would be shot and edited into specials. So far, we’ve really enjoyed Conan in Cuba, Conan in Armenia, and his trip to Comic-Con. 

Naturally, we’re happy to find out that his next trip special where he ventures over to Qatar to visit the troops is premiering on Jan. 25th. John Mulaney, First Lady Michelle Obama, and more joined O’Brien during his time there. Also, the announced return to the San Diego Comic-Con is pretty great too and we can only hope that he makes his visit an annual tradition.

If Conan’s gone to places like Cuba, Armenia, and, soon, Qatar, one can only be curious what other places like that is he going to visit? Siberia?
