‘Conan in Korea’ Takes the Host to a Gaming Cafe, It Doesn’t End Well

  By this point, Conan O’Brien’s gaming prowess needs no introduction. His Clueless Gamer segments, and the complete and thorough Grade A sucktastic therein, is the stuff of legend. Man, this guy knows how to throw a video game-based Super Bowl party the right way.  

When The Conan O’Brien Show took the host to Korea recently, he accepted his most dangerous assignment yet: Visiting the seedy depths of a PC Bang and getting his game on with the locals.

For the uninitiated, a PC Bang is an Internet café of sorts, catered for the obsessive gaming crowd. You know those guys you see in the news sometimes, who keel over and die in a heap of their own shite after 56 solid hours on Starcraft or whatever? This is where they hang out. I don’t think Conan knows what he was letting himself in for with this one.

It’s a whole new world for the host. A terrifying world of squid-flavored potato chips, nerdy and completely unexciting video games (there’s Starcraft again) and talking Korean smack about mamas. He takes it in his stride, though, and the whole thing was pretty damn funny. Check it out:
