When Conan O’Brien was still hosting a talk show on TBS, Clueless Gamer was a regular feature. While O’Brien hasn’t made many episodes since the end of Conan, Clueless Gamer returned this week with a new installment that tackles the director’s cut of Death Stranding, a game that actually features O’Brien in a cameo role.
Aaron Bleyaert reunited with O’Brien for the segment, and he proceeded to explain the lore of Hideo Kojima’s game at length. When O’Brien wasn’t looking at the camera and silently pleading for mercy, he was pretending to be falling asleep.
O’Brien eventually got his hands on the controller and stepped into the role of Sam Porter Bridges (Norman Reedus), before promptly made a mockery of Sam’s attempt to dispose of his mother’s body. The scene in the game wasn’t meant to be comical, but O’Brien kept finding ways to bring out the slapstick by slipping and falling before he handed over the controller to Bleyaert.
