Conan O’Brien can’t say he wasn’t warned about the #beardpocalypse.

Ferrell gave O’Brien a stack of 1970s-era “Playboy” magazines, asked him “Are you ready to feel the steel?” and let him have it with his razor, Excalibeard:

On the day before the now-celebrated weekly holiday that made Black famous, Conan O’Brien one-ups the Internet phenom with a terrific parody of “Friday.”
It’s called … wait for it … “Thursday.” Watch after the jump:
