- October 17, 2012
Conan O'Brien is back with his popular talk show, Conan, for the 2012 season. In episode 129 titled "Return and Return and Return to OCD Mountain," Conan takes his audience on a hilarious journey through his take on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
As the show begins, Conan explains how he recently discovered that he may have OCD after constantly checking his car door to make sure it's locked. This realization leads him to take a trip up a mountain to face his fears and potentially find a cure for his OCD.
After arriving at the mountain, Conan is greeted by a quirky character named Lester, who claims to be a guru in overcoming OCD. Lester takes Conan on a series of bizarre exercises, ranging from throwing a ball through a hoop to yelling out random words. The exercises are supposed to help Conan overcome his OCD, but instead, they seem to exacerbate his condition.
Throughout the show, Conan also interacts with his live audience, who share their own experiences with OCD. From a woman who has to count the number of tiles on her bathroom floor to a man who has to align all of his shoes in a specific way, Conan discovers that OCD affects people in different ways.
Later in the show, Conan's journey to overcome his OCD takes a turn for the worse when he encounters a rival OCD sufferer named Richard. Richard challenges Conan to a game of "OCD one-upmanship," where they compete to see who can perform the most OCD acts in a set amount of time.
As the competition heats up, Conan realizes that he may have met his match in Richard and starts to question whether he will ever be able to overcome his OCD. However, in a moment of clarity, Conan realizes that he doesn't need to beat Richard or overcome his OCD completely; instead, he just needs to learn to live with it.
In the end, Conan returns to his studio with a new perspective on OCD and delivers a hilarious monologue about his experiences on the mountain. He also interviews actor Will Ferrell, who appears on the show to promote his latest movie.
Overall, "Return and Return and Return to OCD Mountain" is a funny and lighthearted episode of Conan that takes a humorous look at a serious disorder. Conan's openness about his struggles with OCD and willingness to share his experiences with his audience make for a relatable and enjoyable viewing experience.
