That was hilarious, thanks! (Protip: You can back out after he actually gets to Comic-Con unless you want to watch a couple of minutes of a crowd going WOOOOOOOOOO and Conan grinning and waving.)

That was awesome, I wish he'd been able to ride into town with it.

Fury Road is a true classic.

MEDIOCRE.

I liked it, but ever since I found out that chroming is a thing, I've been a little more iffy about it in the movie and super iffy about it being used for larfs (even if it's a riff on the movie).

agreed. I have never seen anyone so apparently bored to be playing a flame-throwing guitar-bass combo on top of a truck.

Who is giving Conan the budget to do things like that? Doesn't he have like one-third the ratings of The Daily Show which just gets a one-desk set and chroma-key graphics?

I'm sure Conan not needing any white makeup helped control costs.

On the one hand, this is indeed mediocre, but on the other hand, it's been over a week since our last Fury Road post, which seemed untenable.

What, warboys shoudln't huff paint ... because of the long term health risks? Do you realize that Nux's life goal is to get himself killed before the cancer does it for him. Even after he gives up on Immortan Joe's cult and falls in love, that's still all he wants!

My main complaint with the video is that they didn't use this for the chrome spray. Judging by the Amazon reviews, it would be perfect.

Judging by the Amazon reviews, it would be perfect.

I snagged a can of that for my War Boy cosplay at DragonCon later this year, and it really is worthy of those reviews.

About the only thing that might be better would be this one because it looks so much more like a spray paint can, but the other one has it beat on price.

Haha, that's great radwolf76. I thought about going as a War Boy for Halloween this year but balk at the degree of required epilation.
