Hoping August’s Emmy Awards are a bit more awkward than usual this year? So is TBS. In an act that can only be described as full-on taunting, the network has taken out a series of “For Your Consideration” ads for The Tonight Show with Conan O’B rien with the hopes of landing O’B rien an Emmy nomination and placement on the NBC telecast. “Conan’s great work in 2009 and 2010 deserves Emmy consideration. We’re very excited to have him join TBS later this year,” said Turner Entertainment Networks president Steve Koonin, presumably with a massive, sh*t-eating grin. The ads make no mention of NBC — or Jay Leno — but they do make jokes about Coco’s skin and Twitter following. So there’s that. Take a look after the jump.
