Real life hasn’t been that much fun lately, right? With your job, Thanksgiving, and Tax Day (I mean, that thing's always around the corner), wouldn’t be nice to just get away for a while? Check out into a different reality.

Well, science is currently working on that, and our old friend Conan O’Brien got to try it out for himself. Over at the YouTube’s VR Lab in New York City, Conan took virtual reality for a test drive, performing his normal routine of yelling at employees, co-workers, robots, and gym coaches in the new digital world, on Conan last night.

This video should have you very excited for the future, where you can harass robots and eat corn on the cob sandwiches. Watch the video and you’ll get it.

Comedian Sarah Silverman uses her iPhone in this unnecessary censorship prank on Conan.

Good god. A debate like this would send our Drinking Game plans into disarray.

Obama and Bieber and Conan and House and... ew.

The Wieners Circle -- a tiny hot dog stand in Chicago's Lincoln Park -- is legendary for the shouted verbal abuse rained down on customers by the staff. So, naturally, Conan O'Brien sent the nicest guy in the world, 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer, to place an order.

(Not Safe For Work -- hostile, explicit service.)

First Ron Burgundy, now Vince Vaughn: Conan scored another Hollywood coup last night when Vaughn dropped by with the latest sneak peek for his new movie, The Watch. (Conan also managed to snag the new full-length trailer, which can be seen here.)

Formerly called Neighborhood Watch (the name was changed to distance the movie from the Trayvon Martin case), the flick also stars Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill. Out July 27.

University of California San Diego renamed itself "Conan O'Brien College" recently. To O'Brien's chagrin, however, the name change was only for 24 hours. Still, that didn't deter him from going to the campus and cracking wise (and perhaps heads, off-camera).
