Back when the Bears were still competing, more often than not they'd be on FOX. Among other things, that meant that we, the viewers, would be inundated with the annoying piece of animatronic scrap metal that is Cletus the Robot.

You've seen this guy. He's that mechanical dude who stretches out when they're coming back from a commercial break or breaking down Donovan McNabb's passing numbers by quarter.

Anyone who has participated in a live Bears chat knows exactly how I feel about Cletus.

He makes my blood boil.

So, Conan O'Briens bit on Cletus the other night really made me laugh. I'm glad to see others think this little animated gag is rusted out.
