Grief is a strange beast, and there really is no one single way that you’re supposed to handle it. For comedian Conan O’Brien, humor was the way to do it. When O’Brien’s father passed last year and Will Arnett reached out with his sympathy, the comedian hilariously responded “I blame [Jason] Bateman.”

“The texts between Conan, Will Arnett, and Jason Bateman are hilarious,” X user Zito wrote on a video of the Team Coco podcast. “Conan lost both of his parents and somehow joking about Bateman killing them is so dark and yet such a sweet way to help a friend grieve.”
