Conan Season 2013 Episode 107 The Self-Centered Man Who Called It "MeTube"

  • September 4, 2013

The Conan O'Brien talk show, titled simply Conan, aired in 2013 and included a wide range of comedic segments and celebrity interviews. In Season 2013, Episode 107, viewers were treated to a particularly hilarious skit called "The Self-Centered Man Who Called It 'MeTube'".

The sketch centered around a fictional video sharing website called "MeTube" that boasted a unique feature: instead of uploading videos of themselves, users uploaded videos of their day-to-day routine as seen from their own point of view. The joke here is that this type of website would only appeal to the most self-absorbed and narcissistic individuals, a point that is driven home as Conan and his team introduce a series of increasingly absurd and hilarious characters.

First up is a man who simply films himself taking selfies in various locations, from a Laundromat to a library to the DMV. He even takes a selfie while getting a root canal at the dentist's office. As the audience watches these cringe-worthy moments, Conan fakes his own intense discomfort and disgust.

Next is a woman who constantly showcases her "unique" fashion sense, wearing ridiculous outfits and filming herself strutting through busy city streets. As she walks, unsuspecting bystanders are caught on camera, often giving her strange looks or trying to avoid her altogether.

The third character is perhaps the most absurd: a man who films himself sleeping. Yes, that's right, the camera is fixed on his face as he snoozes peacefully for the camera. The audience is treated to a silly montage of various sleep-related incidents, from drooling on the pillow to snoring loudly.

Finally, Conan himself gets in on the fun, pretending to be a man who's so egocentric he films himself doing mundane tasks like brushing his teeth and preparing breakfast. As the skit progresses, viewers can't help but marvel at the ridiculousness of it all.

Throughout the skit, Conan and his team utilize their signature style of absurdist humor, poking fun at our society's obsession with self-promotion and the constant need for attention. The sketch serves as a perfect example of the show's comedic style, and fans of Conan's brand of humor won't be disappointed.
