Tweet Contest Winner!
Whew! After going through what seems like ten billion tweets, I sat down with Sweeney and Conan today and we picked our winner! Here's the announcement:
If you're impatient, here are the top 5 finalists after the jump:
As promised, Conan will be tweeting your tweet sometime tomorrow - and you, as well as the other four finalists, will be receiving a signed Conan O'Brien Junk Tour Poster!!! ROCK!! Like I said, it was really hard to narrow the over 700(!) entries we received down to just a few; you guys should ALL be really proud of the work you did. It was awesome to discover that we've got such funny and amazingly talented fans!! Here are the Honorable Mentions of those that made the first cut and really made us laugh (the finalists are also included in this list):

Also, another attempt to get Conan's autograph goes down the drain for me. Someone get me a TARDIS so I can go back to May 18th, 2010 NOW!
Ah man, I didn't even make the finals. Bummer.
Well, congrats to those that won...I am now jealous of you...
Congrats to all of the top contestants and special congrats to the winner. I laughed my ass of with all of your entries...
OMG those are really funny, my stomach hurts maaaannn! Conrgats on all the great tweets guys. :D
Oh and who is that funny mascot in the background? :D
CONGRATULATIONS, ALL!
This contest was an absolute blast. So much brilliance in the Team Coco fanbase!
Nice digs, by the way. You might want to take the intern outside before he piddles on the floor, though.
Congratulations to all of you awesome funny people :D :D :D
Aaron, I didn't hear a thing you said in the video because I tried to see if it was Conan's movements and mannerisms. I have noooo idea.
Hey Darci.... if it's any consolation, I remember reading some of yours, and thinking "DAMN IT!" (considering I was trying to be funny too :-P haha). You had a few that I felt were classics. So keep your head high... you at least made me laugh :-)
Zeke can't sit in the loser corner. She won the contest contest..
Zeke can't sit in the loser corner. She won the contest contest.
I almost said "Chin up, Darci" but that wouldn't be appropriote considering...anyway. There were a lot of good entries. Just because yours weren't listed doesn't mean yours weren't awesome. It's okay. The best thing to do now is just be gracious to those who were mentioned and happy that you had the opprotunity!
Yeah, but I had some funny ones! I had some good ones! Oh well, I'll be in the corner with the other losers. Join me if you'd like.
Quality, not quantity, Darci my friend. We idolize Conan, not Leno. ;)
So jealous of all of you finalists. I think that's all we really wanted was Conan and Sweeney to read one of our tweets. I didn't even make finalist and I submitted a boatload of tweets.
Damn, I should have entered more than 30 times haha.
Seriously though, there was some stiff competition! Congratulations are in order for the winners.
And ONE of mine got an honorable mention. Which means Conan at least read it and thought it was painfully unfunny! That's good enough for me!
When's the next contest, Bley?
Wow...all these are really good. Which proves what we all already knew: even Conan's fans are funnier than Leno. Congrats to the winner, runners-up, and honorable mentions....great job guys.
THIS.
HAHAHAHA, best tweets ever. For those who didn't win, tweet this **** on your own accounts ASAP so I can RT it. GET ON IT!
I loved all of these! Great work, people! =D
Congratulations to all the winners! This contest was fun. :)
Cool, honourable mention. Yes, the "u" belongs there.
OK Aaron---tell us who is in the dalmation suit!! Looks pretty slender, but not sure he's tall enough to be "The Rooster". Doesn't move like him either......
Haha this is like the highlight of my summer right here. Thanks for the honorable mention!
And a huge congrats to the winners! Those tweets are fantastic!
Congratulations, everyone! I had more fun reading the entrees than entering. I didn't get through them all, so a big pat on the back for Bley. There were some in the honorable mentions that I missed. Funny stuff! I remember laughing really hard at a few of the runner's up. Thanks for the fun!
May I just say...Eeeeeeeee! What uuuuup! I haven't been this happy about an honorable mention since every single sport I've ever tried.
EAT THEM!!!! Uh, I mean, why not give them a try???
It's a good thing I don't like Lima Beans
Honorable mention! YES! That means if the five winners cannot fulfill their obligations, and the rest of the honorable mentions succumb to some, I don't know, terrible Lima bean poisoning outbreak, then I shall be victorious! MWAH HAH HAH!!
By that I mean, congrats to the winners, everyone did great, and don't forget to eat your Lima beans!
We already know it. Mwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We already know. Mwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats!! you could ask my bf and he'd tell you that whenever I came up with another idea last week I kept saying, "but that internet cafe one.. it's too good!" I just knew yours would make it to the final 5 :) Good job! :)<br />
<br />
ps: your screen name is awesome (I'm a sucker for any SBTB reference). I'm sure they enjoyed that too haha ;)
You can give me your address. It's not a trap. <br />
<br />
*gets ready to steal poster from mailbox*
How do I give you guys my address?
Ha ha, sweet! Getting honorably mentioned has done wonders for my cripplingly low self-esteem! Congratulations, everybody!
These were all awesome! I lol'd! This had to be a tough decision but you picked some hilarious ones!
Aaron, you have such lovely eyes.
Haha, thank you so much!
Mackenzie...yours was one of my favorites.
Really?! I got an honorable mention! Thank you so much! There were so many hilarious tweets, I feel honored. I texted a few of my friends to tell them... but they didn't really get it. *sigh* Thank goodness for my Team Coco friends on the internet.
Virtual high-five!
Congrats!!! That's crazy awesome! :)
Congratulations dude!
Matt, please come by the "I'm With Coco" Facebook page, we would all love to congratulate you! (Don't worry, it's not a trap.....)
Oh my god, I can't believe it. This is the best thing that's ever happened to me. Thanks so much, Aaron - you're the most famous/coolest person who's ever mispronounced my name (and you're in good company!)
Aw shucks. Thanks!
This is 'Honorable Mention Hanna' iN THE HOUSE my fellow tweeters. I dig this alot.
I got 35th place! This thrills me to no end - seriously.
It's probably for the best that i didn't get into the top 5 because I would have just sold the Coco poster on Ebay ...Mama wants to go to $$$ Hawaii $$$ people. I'M TOTALLY KIDDING I WOULD *NOT* HAVE SOLD AN AUTHENTIC COCO POSTER ON EBAY. What kind of Conan supporter do you take me for??? I'm ashamed of you.
Seriously though, thanks for indulging all us Conan fans by having the contest and even posting all the runners up. We know you're all very busy and must have alot on your minds.
My favorite tweet was - 'If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, you love a boomerang'. Shout out to C. Winfield.
Loved this one.
I loved yours too, Jeffrey! Good stuff!
Zellers! Thank you, that really REALLY means a lot!!! :)
Hahaha, yours was my personal favorite. Very good, sir. VERY GOOD.
CONAN O'BRIEN READ MY NAME AND MY TWEET, AND HE SAID IT WAS FUNNY?! I can rest in peace now. :)
