+Agent Bill Wilson Nope, they were just being human, judging things based on appearances. The true monster is frankenstein. He abandoned his creation because it didnt look like what he wanted it to be, promised it to make a lover for it and abandoned the task due to his fear and then went on to try to hunt it down and kill it.

Andy's reaction falling asleep was so me haha

"It was okay." Best part.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is actually one of the most important books ever written for both the gothic and sci-fi genres. It also had significant commentary on Feminism, as Shelley's mother was an active feminist, one of the very first of her kind. The being, or creature, is somewhat Ademic, but he also refers to himself as a fallen angel and even Satan himself. The book has interesting parallels with John Milton's Paradise Lost. However, he does in fact have no name at all.

Well he certainly has a colloquial name: Frankenstein's Monster. I see nothing but pedantry in not allowing it to be shortened to simply "Frankenstein" :-)

It was one of the first sci-fi novels ever and arguably created the genre.

Andy has been with Conan the whole time. and he's hilarious.

You realize, within the book, the monster decides to call himself Frankenstein after his creator. So yes, he genuinely is called Frankenstein.

What version did you read? I keep hearing he calls himself Frankenstein or he's named Adam by Frankenstein, but I never saw that when I read Mary's version. At least I don't think so.

So I didn't explain it thoroughly because it's complicated and easier to just say he called himself Frankenstein, however we have this quote from the original novel "At length the thought of you crossed my mind. I learned from your papers that you were my father, my creator; and to whom could I apply with more fitness than to him who had given me life?" Which is clearly him accepting Frankenstein as his surname. Otherwise when he refers to himself while speaking to Victor he calls himself "the Adam of your [Victor's] labours" referring to Adam as God's first creation. -Also alluding to Proteus, Victor's second creation. Otherwise he is called Caliban, but that name was given to him by the man who sheltered him. So it's either Adam Frankenstein or Caliban Frankenstein, depending on your stance on what's in a name. Maybe Adam "Caliban" Frankenstein if he were a professional wrestler.- *Disclaimer* Yes the stuff at the end is taken from modern renditions including Penny Dreadful rofl. Everything excluding the parts where I start rambling about Proteus (and onwards) is legit though. Blame the cannabis.

Wow, I never took his words that way. But it's great to have an explanation for why people think Frankenstein's monster has a name. In the book Frankenstein was always so disgusted with his creature he almost always called him a demon;and his creation hated him just as much for creating him, so he never took on his name. He admitted he was Frankenstein's creation,but was never interested in naming himself after the guy. He just wanted a wife, not a father. But I'm not at all saying you're wrong. I just never read it as that. Thank you for your input, it meant a lot to me. And I do mean that genuinely.

All of you are correct. Frankenstein was the doctor, not the monster. In the book the monster is called the Creature. He didn't have a name.

Some scholars believe the monster's name was Adam, because in the book, the monster refers to himself as "the Adam of your labors." A weak connection, however, and probably best to just leave the creature nameless.

I thought he was called Adam purely because on a notoriously bullshitty BBC show called QI, they make exactly that claim. Of course I should have considered that everything on QI turns out to be wrong if you fact check.

they need to bring this back! haven't done it in a while

They made a second mistake in an attempt to cover up their initial mistake. The monster ended his own life, so no way that was him on Ellis Island. I'm on to you team Coco!

Has it really been almost five years since the show started?! Dammit....that is weird

I love how he puts a picture of slash in the URL

well... technically, the creature does not have a first name, but has a last name. Since the creator is Victor Frankenstein, and, in a way, gave birth to the creature, then the creature's last name would be Frankenstein. So.. yeah. We can call the creature Frankenstein.

Well, Mary Shelley never gives it a name, but the monster calls itself "the Adam of you labors" when talking to Frankenstein, if i remember correctly, and Adam refers, of course, to the first man in the bible, as Frankenstein created the monster. So I think it would be alright to call him "Adam", if one does want to ascribe a name to it.

They're also accurate when only referencing the source material.

@JunkieSmurf I believe the monster just refers to himself as the Adam of his (Frankenstien) creation. It also never says it's yellow, just the color of a dead body. Which in that case would be pale or just white.

How do I make that Slash icon appear in the url I don't even

slash hahahahaha

People should really read M. W. Shelly's novel before they comment on it. Victor F's monster is unnamed, he refers to himself as "an Adam".

I wish they would bring Frankenstein back on the show. His sketches in late night were the bomb. I know they can't due to legal reasons though.....

how do you not get that? seriously?!

The monster's name is Frank N. Stein.

Dude's blazed out of his mind.

conan says instead of "make chump meat out of the maestro" he says "make chump meat out of the master"

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who saw the fan as Bender 2.0

you're genius conan!

LOL, it was hysterical and "historical" ;)

@iluvmypet Yes, he was. He started the late night show with Conan. Andy's a funny guy.

actually the original form and standard is apologize but both are correct.

he looks like peter from office space

That's how this segment always goes and the submitters know what they are getting into when they participate.

They are both right, depending on how you interpret the book. It is true that the monster is not given a name in the book, and that the author did not intend to give him one. It has been confirmed that the author's intention was to keep the creation nameless. However, the monster considers itself to be the creator's son and part of the family (as quoted below in Travis Iliades' comment) and thus it is not unreasonable to draw the conclusion that he considered himself to be a Frankenstein, either. Since the creature was intelligent, rather than big and dumb as often portrayed, he could make that decision. One can also argue that we often shorten or simplify names to be more practical. The United Kingdom, Great Britain, or simply Britain, are all legit shorter names for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Since the practice is legit, so would shortening "Frankenstein's monster" to simply "Frankenstein".

The monster was just called the monster.

andy's so funny lol

That guy did look like Judd Nelson!

I just figure that version of the monster is, in fact, called Frankenstein, as it was seen in the film "Fankenstein vs The Wolf Man."

ya i wikipedia it. and the guy is right,. the scientist is Dr.Frankenstein. and the creation, is named "monster" or later the author refers him to "adam"

It doesn't matter what Mary Shelly's book says. The Monster of film and TV is not the same as the creature in the book. Even though most movies have him known only as "the monster", we as a society have given him the name Frankenstein. Why? Because there is no generic term for the type of character he is. He's one of a kind. He's not a werewolf, a vampire, a zombie, a mummy, a lagoon creature, a ghost, a witch, or any other entity of horror. Therefore calling him Frankenstein is not only acceptable it's appropriate.

It doesn't matter what the original form was, even if that is true, which I highly doubt.

That and it is correct-ish. The monster refers to himself in the book while talking to the doc as the "Adam of your labors." Shelley is referencing Adam from the Adam and Eve creation fable.

Yep, but it's so entertaining!

Frankenstein's CREATION is more applicable as "Monster" is a relative description. The age-old irony is that Dr. Lightning is the actual monster based on his middle finger to Mother Nature

AHAHA the fan is so funny!!!!

@millionsteve Except Conan. He has access to historical footage.

the monster is Adam from the book

I fuckin' LOVE La Bamba

is that Artie Lange in the Ellis Island bit? The one with the suitcase and hat?

He's probably called that indirectly once, but not as his name. In any case it would fit with the usual metaphors, though I don't remember this in particular. If it comes up then probably to describe his condition or self-narration in the forest.

is this the guy from the chatroulette video with the piano improv.

I like how Conan dares his fans to find a mistake and correct him then when somebody does it him and Andy roast him, makes no sense lol

CONARD not CONAN

Twilight Zone ending: "Turns out it was the scientist that was the *REAL* monster!"

Lesson to learn from this, Conan is always right...even when he's wrong. LOL!

for some reason that guy has something about him that reminds me of colin farrell

Took incredibly long for someone to spot that mistake.

Judd Nelson *is* dreamy.
