Qaddafi: Proof That a Groucho Marx Haircut Isn’t Always Funny

And now, the comedy stylings of Muammar Qaddafi! The Libyan leader took to the U.N. stage Wednesday with a rambling rant against the Security Council, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the “silent devils” who don’t tell the truth. He mercifully cut himself off after an hour and half—before he could get into “What’s the deal with airplane food?”

Conan to Joe: Burn!

Later that night, Conan O’Brien used his requisite Qaddafi joke to zing V.P. Biden for his own rambling oratory style. Say it ain’t so, Co!

“Qaddafi Duck.”

Leno similarly used his Qaddafi joke to poke fun at someone else, namely Kanye West. Leno said the rapper’s presence would have been appreciated in halting the loquacious leader’s speech. Sorry, Jay, we’re pretty sure this one’s beyond even Kanye’s disruptive abilities.

Second Verse, Same as the First

And, two hours later, Jimmy Fallon cracked the exact same Kanye joke. Maybe it’s funnier if you’re two hours more sleep-deprived?
