Pending some red tape at the Unicode Consortium, an emoji named in honor of Stephen Colbert might become your go to emoji.
Colbert’s raised eyebrow is pretty universal.and, at this point, they should probably made for the perfect source material to make for a new emoji.
Earlier this week, Conan O’Brien almost instantly sold out of his wood emojis crafted by Nick Offerman that were originally done as a bit on Conan.
So, he decided to sell 500 more with all the proceeds going to the Children’s Defense Fund Action Council. That also sold out in mere minutes.
Thus, Conan has decided to sell as many as he can via Tilt.com still at $100 a pop. Orders will be taken over the next 9 days and, as of this post being written, 1393 wooden emojis have been ordered.
Emojis are already taking communication back to a time where it was harder to understand each other. So, with that in mind, why not make that communication even harder and more artisanal with Nick Offerman’s painstakingly hand crafted Wood Emojis?
Yes, they are actually wooden emoji symbols that you would have to actually carry.
So, watch the commercial that aired during Conan here and keep hoping that they’ll be actually selling them at Offerman’s real life woodshop beyond them existing for this Conan bit here.
Chelsea Peretti got to sit down with Conan this week and revealed that she had encountered an Internet troll face to face, found that you can get the voice of her Brooklyn Nine Nine co-star, Terry Crews, on the Waze app, as well giving Conan and the rest of us a nice crash course in emoji vocabulary.
We’re guessing the underlying issue with that specific Internet troll is that she’s probably upset because she couldn’t get the Terry Crews voice on her Waze.
A Set of Seinfeld Emojis Are Coming To iPhones Soon
That’s right, a big set of Seinfeld inspired emojis will be free to download on your iPhone soon. Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer along with plenty of other iconic Seinfeld things (hopefully Newman) are included in the emoji set.
We’re not surprised at all that Shahruz Shaukat, a guy behind the genius Podbay.fm co-developed this.
