- barryiggins, on 10/12/2007, -12/+51I watched this last night and found it funny that she was looking more like a dude than Conan. Conan's still the man, though.
- UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -1/+243Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhGi0F3ms5w
- emehrkay, on 10/12/2007, -21/+3hahh great stuff
- plugues, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14okay, but can he do a curve ball? it's one of the toughest moves
- MrTinker, on 10/12/2007, -9/+37I am digging this as hard as I possibly can.
- bpapa, on 10/12/2007, -17/+35I've never gotten the "Serena is ugly" stuff. Venus, I'm not particularly attracted, but hot damn Serena the body is insanity.
- gallagherFTW, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22Oh Conan, those shorts are extraordinary. I wish I was that white.
- ScrabbyDoo, on 10/12/2007, -10/+3Conan had an unfair advantage, he was serving! I bet the controllers were planted ...
- Philbert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I saw it last night too, was wondering how long before someone posted the video.
"she was looking more like a dude than Conan"
I'm sure he was doing that on purpose, being wimpy and dorky is his bit, hell half of his humor is based on it. - RaistlinMajere, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14I do love Serena...check out these swimsuit shots:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/swimsuit/collection/athletes/serena_williams.html - APHughes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8am I the only one hoping for them to throw the wii mote at the audience?
- docdoak, on 10/12/2007, -6/+45OH GOD! THEY AREN'T WEARING THEIR WRIST STRAPS! CNN, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, EVERYONE REPORT ABOUT THE WRIST STRAP AHHH!
- longboarder543, on 10/12/2007, -7/+9WHOA! There's a game system that detects your motion in 3D space?!! I must have one, what's it called???
- neptunebk, on 10/12/2007, -11/+3Playstation 3 is what they are playing on.
- cJw314, on 10/12/2007, -28/+3Awesome!
I'm still kinda surprised that Serena got 'back on her horse' and was able to pull out the win... regardless, Conan IS the man. - econoar, on 10/12/2007, -7/+42He should play the horny manatee
- OMGWTFROFLMAO, on 10/12/2007, -76/+7I'm assuming you're talking about one of his recurring characters (like the masturbating bear), but I'm burying you because of your avatar.
DA BEARSSS! - Jugalator, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Uh.. http://www.hornymanatee.com/
- OMGWTFROFLMAO, on 10/12/2007, -76/+7I'm assuming you're talking about one of his recurring characters (like the masturbating bear), but I'm burying you because of your avatar.
- Dycacian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37I saw that last night. It was funny as hell. I think Conan was actually surprised he was doing as well as he did. He was being a spaz as usual, but it is pretty funny that the woman who just owned the Australian Open lost to , of all people, Conan O'Brian. It was great publicity for the Wii too. It looks very fun to play.
- josegutz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I wonder if they did their Wii Mii's to look exactly like Conan and Max. Maybe Conan should have a show skit showing the Mii avatars of all the staff. La Bamba's and Pender's would be a riot to create. I think Nintendo should look into sponsoring something like that...
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5She threw the match. Near the end, she didn't want to play any more and hit two awful shots in a row to end it.
- Pxtl, on 10/12/2007, -14/+2So, did anybody lose because the damned player swung when they were just pulling their racket back when getting ready for another hit?
- krabat, on 10/12/2007, -24/+2I, for one, welcome our new Conan O'Brien overlord.
- shep133, on 10/12/2007, -0/+75They aren't wearing their straps! ::gasp::
- plugues, on 10/12/2007, -22/+14ahh the controller strap. also known as the wii condom. sucks to wear one and it just doesn't feel the same, but you just know you have to.
- gweedo767, on 10/12/2007, -1/+55Did you see how hard they were swinging? And they NEVER LOST THEIR REMOTE! If Conan didnt' lose it swinging like that, no one should.
- goeatsmsht, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4lol, I was thinking the same thing too..... I was waiting for one of them to send their Wiimote flying into the audience!!
- MuteMathSSR, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3I took my Wiimote strap off the second I opened my box. However I keep a strap on the other wiimote I bought for when friends come over. It helps me keep track of which wiimote is mine. Oh.. and I don't trust my friends either.
It does seem like its all "OMG WEAR THE STRAP!!!" though. - wunch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Woo! Serena goes strapless!!
- Retuow, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2She sucked :S
- AoiTakuma, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4he came from behind, she was winning 40-30
- ZakColeman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22I like how they say he defeated Serena in the title, and Venus in the article, NICE!
- tyme, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Apparently the OP isn't particularly literate. Or they have some weird disorder where "Venus" looks like "Serena".
- flave, on 10/12/2007, -11/+7You mean you didn't know that all black people look the same?!?!?!
/sarcasm
I know they're sisters and they both happen to excel at tennis, but c'mon.... - SimplyZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1venus doesnt really play tennis anymore...with her fashion line thing...
- darkrabbi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13ew, blogspam without a link to the video, bad submission but hilarious video
- pinesol101, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Conan should sign up for the US Open.
- freff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If he did, he'd have to watch out for the Blancmange.
I understand that they like scottish tennish players and all... - vladtaltos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2digg up for monty python reference
- freff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If he did, he'd have to watch out for the Blancmange.
- whothat, on 10/12/2007, -27/+0Conan is the MAN...
johnny from http://www.ForUsByUs.com - skilless, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2*SPOILER ALERT*
- sick_spd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Dugg down because you didn't post the link to the video!!!
- maks327, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5and he didn't even get the right Williams sister! in the "article" it says Venus, but it was definitely Serena.
- MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2People without TV care about this news story.
- Vilkku, on 10/12/2007, -32/+0Hmm, why were they playing it in 4p mode? I hope they didn't cheat by having some real gamers playing somewhere in the back.
- daybreaker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Have you even seen a Wii? Thats how the game works. You control both of your players.
- anonatron, on 10/12/2007, -9/+3Um, they were not playing in 4 player mode...
- DiggedDugged, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22worst...comment...ever
- Vilkku, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1No, I've never seen a Wii, so I didn't know. Thanks for clearing it up (and controlling all 4 seems like a weird solution, but I guess there is a reason).
- kryx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5.
- soulpiercer7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't even know what to say...
- gatekillr, on 10/12/2007, -31/+2Burried because I'm fed up with Conan O’Brien stories. Burry this comment if you must!
- night141, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11i must..
- nohkul, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11I'm with sick_spd on this. Why did this guy's blog entry make front page? Dugg UGM2099 for actually contributing something (a link to the video which was hilarious). This article, though, is marked as Lame.
- xvertigox, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9"Nintendo hopes that this match will be a small step towards the sports community accepting Wii Sports as legitimate." If they mean legit as in being very similar to actual sports then that's just stupid. Wii sports are really, really simplified versions of the sports (not a bad thing, gameplay over realism!). In Wii Tennis you don't need to change your grip for forehand and backhand, you can't control the angle of the racket etc Don't get me wrong, they're great games but comparing it to real sports in terms of similarity is just silly.
- RWVolkl158, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yeah, don't get me wrong, tennis in Wii Sports is a lot of fun. However, I found that the more I tried to mirror my actual tennis techniques on the Wii the less control it felt like I had where as if I used more simple motions it was a lot more predictable and I could at least get somewhat into the game. It's fun, but it's nothing like the real thing. I can't wait until someone tries to do a real "simulation" tennis game though!
- desqjockey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah, the fact that a total amateur can beat a top pro is a little sucky.
I want a game that would actually replicate tennis so it would help me with my real game too.
It could always have an 'arcade mode'
- cannibal666, on 10/12/2007, -6/+11I would like to have sexual relations with both sisters. At the same time. In a bowl of Jell-O. I need help.
- BabyWookie, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4That's cool, but I would prefer a 3some with a couple of _women_.
- pedro101, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Conan had the advantage because he knew what was coming and was dressed for the occasion. She was wearing a dress and was also checking out her Mii character, which distracted her.
- sloof70, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I was watching this and when he said he was going to play her in tennis after the commercial, I knew it would be Wii Sports Tennis.
- NTolerance, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It looks like she's motioning for a forehand shot when the ball is actually coming towards her backhand side.
- Alesir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It is great that the Wii is getting this kind of publicity.
- truthteller, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2"questioning the authenticity of the recently completed Australian Open."
Actually no, this questions the authenticity of the Wii tennis game and whether it's realistic or not.- mookieXL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Woosh!
(can't find that damn ascii)
- mookieXL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Woosh!
- WhereAmI, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1you realize this just shows how fake this game is as a simulator its just as bad as GH and a real guitar.
both GH and real guitars rock though. hacking GH is awesome, Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace are no longer missing. - digitalsmash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I suck at all video games, but i do really well at wii tennis for some reason. This video made me happy. *=)
- inara23, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4She's an enormously good sport about this... I can definitely see some other spoiled tennis star throwing down the Wiimote the minute they started losing.
- CedEx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3You mean like John McEnroe?
- MattyLite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Lol, I watched that last night. It looks like she deliberately let Conan win; especially her last out of bounds shot at the end :)
- gypsi, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2this is just pointless digg whoring without a link to video. it's 2007 kids
- leonwestbrook, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2I saw it last night and it was cool.
Still it wouldn't make me buy a wii. - AnotherCanadian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0i saw it last night and the first thing that went through my mind was "i wonder how long until this shows up on digg". kudos, negativeworld
- heuer007, on 10/12/2007, -10/+6OMG She is so disgustingly ugly...and the funny thing is she actually thinks shes hot lol
seriously someone needs to check under that dress, she might be packing- BabyWookie, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Yeah. It's not fair how they let these two muscular black dudes play tennis against women. Poor Maria Sharapova!
- AJMuni, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Conan is the man
- Pulp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Wow, his head-to-body ratio is totally f'd.
- thekiller111, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1hahaha
- fxjohn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1LMAO
- toonarmy88, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0haha that was funny. maria got battered in the final of the aussi open, serena is back to her best and wont be long before shes gets back her number 1 spot
- Ray_Justice, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Damn, I hope they have this clip on the 360 in HD
- Melnikai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0haha that's great!!!
- btnheazy03, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Conan O' Brien + Wii = ORGASMIC EXPLOSION OF PLEASURE
- tremaine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13NBC had youtube remove the video. ***** them, here it is.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6962464170986751836&q=conan+wii+tennis+serena - juliocgrajales, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I agree ***** youtube for caving, here is another link:
