Action figures
The segment sees Pierre complaining about the Justice League Unlimited action figures.
Mallomars
Pierre complains about the seasonal release of the Nabisco snack Mallomars because despite the company’s claims its limited release is due to summer temperature and the difficulty in storing them in such heat. Other chocolate covered-related products are still regularly produced and distributed.
Case Closed
He complains about The Cartoon Network putting Case Closed on during Cowboy Bebop’s usual airtime. Pierre dislikes Case Closed’s campy 1970s style tunes compared to Cowboy Bebop’s jazzy ones which helped him sleep. Coincidentally, Case Closed’s main character takes the assumed first name of Conan.
Stargate SG-1
One segment garnered Pierre a cult following in the Stargate SG-1 community. Its initial segment was a complaint that Stargate SG-1 was better without Dr. Daniel Jackson (played by Michael Shanks). Michael had left SG-1 after the fifth season only to return for the seventh season, and Pierre felt Jackson’s involvement with the team averted too many action sequences.
After the SG-1 production team saw the sketch, they were so much excited that Bernard gave SG-1 national TV publicity that they offered him an extra role on an episode of SG-1 as a technician named O’Brien (for Conan O’Brien).
Late Night recorded and aired a remote segment of his filming process, and they asked him if he would return for another episode. He responded by showing a clip of his character getting shot after greeting an off-screen Dr. Jackson.
They invited Pierre to an SG-1 convention as a famous guest, and Late Night also recorded and aired it as a “remote.”
In the 200th episode of SG-1, Bernard appeared as a zombied O’Brien and was shot by a main character. The May 5, 2006, episode of Late Night with Conan O’Brien showed the behind-the-scenes production of the episode.
The Scifi World interviewed Pierre about his appearances on SG-1 in 2006.
After the show’s cancellation, he returned in another segment of Recliner, where he complained to the Sci Fi Network regarding the show’s cancellation
In a follow-up sketch to this rant, O’Brien announced that he would do Pierre a favor by having Jon Lovitz call the Sci Fi Channel to ask programming executive Mark Stern to reverse the cancellation.
