First it was election scripts. Next it was copy on the Hostess bankruptcy. Now, for the third time this month, Conan O’Brien is taking aim at local anchors for using identical language to describe Cyber Monday sales.

“Local news outlets have been reporting on this big day, and each station has their own unique spin,” O’Brien said sarcastically on his late-night program Monday, introducing a video of anchors saying Cyber Monday sales can be enjoyed “from your desk or the couch” (video above).
