I just watched this, this was probably the funniest thing i have seen in a while. Esp. the part when hes with darth vader and goes

“So this is to help you breath? So which of these buttons calls your parents to pick you up?”.

“He’s dressed as some kind of super nerd!”

God, it’s funny cause it’s true.

That skit had me laughing so hard that I was in tears. I didn’t even like Triumph until i saw this. I always thought he was just mean and obnoxious, but the Star Wars people were all just so good-natured about everything.

What’s really cool is that the official Late Night site on [nbc.com](http://nbc.com) has the clip too. You can’t download it, but you can watch it. 🙂

Best line: “Look at this! It’s a geek from another dimension!”

Either that, or when he’s trying to get the Stormtrooper guy to take his mask off. When the nerd finally complies, Triumph shouts, “PUT IT BACK! PUT IT BACK!”

Oh come on, the absolute funniest part of that isn’t anything Triumph says - it’s when the guy dressed as Spock walks through and gives everyone the finger.

I have to agree with Gorsnak. I bet the Star Wars people weren’t expecting that.

My favorite line is when he’s talking to the pregnant woman.

roughly paraphrasing from memory:

Triumph: So it’s going to be a boy? Is he going to be a Star Wars geek, too?  
Mom-to-be: Yes, of course.  
Triumph: When is he due?  
Mom: In two weeks.  
Triumph: Well that will be the last time he ever sees a woman’s genitalia.

Thank you, **Tangent** : that is the part that had me laughing for days!!

Also, when the one guy is impersonating Darth Vader and Triumph says:  
“You’re not breathing hard enough. Pretend you’ve just ran ten feet!”

Classic, and even funnier because it was all ad-lib. You can even see the guy laughing before he asks someone a question. I forget if it’s the one about the pretend girlfriend or pet spider, but he almost can’t get the question out.

I had never seen Triumph before this, and I haven’t heard of anything since: I think this was his peak. And what a peak it was!

Or when the wizard is “beating him over the head”…

“What an imagination.”

I just downloaded that clip and saw it for the first time! How bad is it that I could easily project some of my oldest friends into that crowd? 😛

One of the funniest parts was when Triumph was humping Vader’s shoulder and shouting out “I am your father!”

G’bless fans of Star Wars. 🙂

Yeah, I really want to see it again, but the link’s broken. Does anyone have the file?

**Bosda** , it’s a dog puppet that goes around and makes fun of people. The Star Wars one was super funny, though…

Since no one else warned…

SPOILERS… SPOILERS…

I didn’t check the prior thread, so I don’t know if this has been addressed.

Geek: I don’t deal with lesser life forms.  
Triumph: You must be a lonely guy.

I laughed for about two seconds and then thought, Waitaminit! That didn’t work!!

My favorite part, though…

Triumph to Cute Girl: You have a veritible pick of the litter… of all these guys… who have no clue how to satisfy you.

Cute Girl: [under her breath] Pretty much.

“That is the last time he will see female genitalia.”

“The correct answer is who gives a _beeeeeep_”

Nothing beats [Blackwolf the Dragonmaster.](http://www.geocities.com/blackbeardian/Magecraft/bwolfmain2.html) Except possibly the nerds playing out scenes from Phantom Menace.
