Conan makes fun of the new iPad Retina Display, Microsoft's Team CoCo ad dollars put to good use

Conan O'Brien never misses a new Apple release without making a good skit out of it, and we've already witnessed Conan's takes on the iPad 2 and Siri, among others.

The red-haired comedian now pointed its mocking gun to the new iPad, and, since nothing really negative can be said about a 9.7" screen loaded with more than 3 million pixels, he went in a different direction.

It's not the screen itself, but rather what people usually do with even the most high-tech toys that is in the crosshairs of Team CoCo in the video below, but we won't spoil the fun.

If we were conspiracy theorists, Conan's jabs at Apple and other competitors can be attributed to the advertising dollars Microsoft is spending on the show with Bing and other ads, but so many comedians - from Jon Stewart to Bill Maher - have made Apple's gadgets a favorite sarcasm target, that we would probably be overboard.
