Conan O¡¯Brien speaking Hindi at the Oscars, and X users are surely losing it: ¡®What was that?¡¯
Conan O¡¯Brien made his Oscars hosting debut, but it was his attempt at Hindi that had X users spiraling! When the comedian greeted Indian viewers with "Nashte ke saath Oscar," the internet exploded with reactions, from appreciation to full-on meme-fest. Here's how desi Twitter lost its mind.

Conan O¡¯Brien¡¯s first-ever Oscars hosting gig had everything¡ªsavage jokes, bold roasts, and his signature chaotic energy. But nothing, absolutely nothing, sent the internet into a frenzy quite like the moment he decided to flex his Hindi skills. Yep, you read that right. Conan hit desi viewers with a "Nashte ke saath Oscar," and X (formerly Twitter) lost its collective mind.

Conan O¡¯Brien speaks in Hindi at Oscars 2025
The clip of Conan speaking Hindi spread like wildfire, with users either hyping his effort or, well, turning it into the internet¡¯s latest meme obsession. While some thought he absolutely butchered the greeting, others were just impressed he tried at all. One user sarcastically noted that his Hindi attempt deserved its own Oscar, while another claimed it was "the second-worst thing about the Oscars¡ªright after Wicked getting all those nominations." Ouch.

Another user humorously declared, ¡°What the HELL language did Conan O¡¯Brien just speak when addressing India?!¡± And let¡¯s not forget the one who summed it up perfectly: ¡°My wife has noted Conan¡¯s Hindi is terrible, but other than that, no notes.¡± The memes? Nonstop. The chaos? Unmatched.

But let¡¯s be real¡ªConan¡¯s attempt at Hindi wasn¡¯t just a random moment. It was a nod to India¡¯s growing influence on global cinema, and despite the mixed reviews, his effort had Indians talking. Whether you think he fumbled or finessed, there¡¯s no denying that for a few minutes, the Oscars felt just a little more desi.
Good attempt, but frankly, Conan totally butchered the Hindi greeting! #Oscars #Oscars2025 pic.twitter.com/v83eWj23H8

And beyond the Hindi chaos, Conan delivered a killer opening monologue, roasting everyone from Timoth¨¦e Chalamet to Bob Dylan and even taking a cheeky jab at the Catholic Church. He even addressed the infamous Oscars overtime issue by performing a bizarre yet hilarious song called I Won¡¯t Waste Time (ironically wasting time in the process).
But if there¡¯s one thing we¡¯ll remember from this year¡¯s Oscars, it¡¯s the fact that Conan O¡¯Brien spoke Hindi, and the internet absolutely could not handle it.
