* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Subverted in the Artie Kendall sketches. He's a 1930s ghost who sings songs that are wildly offensive now. However, whenever the topic of how his songs were originally received comes up, it's indicated that they were considered offensive even back then.

* StrictlyFormula: The Artie Kendall sketches, in which the titular 1930s ghost sings three offensive songs. They generally follow this pattern:
** A song with an awful take on a topical 1930s issue. Most commonly, it's either a song that that advocates a KillThePoor solution to TheGreatDepression or a pro-Axis song about UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
** A "song for ladies," which turns out to be a MisogynySong.
** In response to Conan's outrage over the two previous songs, Artie declares that Conan has "a hot Irish temper" and then sings a song that denigrates Irish people.

** A recurring bit would have Conan bring up a pretty inane news story only for a guy (played by one of the show's writers Brian McCann) would interrupt Conan to correct him on an equally inane detail within the news story. Upon Conan telling him that no, what Conan said was correct, the man would get extremely upset and talk about how he had no reason to live anymore, during which he'd run up the steps of the studio to a vehicle of some sort (a Kayak for the first instance of the gag, which led to him being referred to as the Kayak Guy) and would ride it off camera, at which point the video would cut to an obvious recording of someone in whatever vehicle he was in riding off a cliff while he is heard screaming, with reaction shots of Conan watching him fall in horror. Conan would then react in sadness to the man's apparent death, only for him to ride in alive and well with them talking for a moment before Conan says something that causes him to become suicidal again, causing the process to repeat itself, though with a different vehicle waiting for him.

This practice ended in the mid-2000s with a combination of the writers' strike, New Year's Eve falling on a weekend, and the advent of NBC's dedicated special with Carson Daly (which pushes back reruns of ''The Tonight Show'' and ''Late Night'' instead).
