  • January 8, 2013

The episode "The Guy Who Drove a Hummer and Wasn't a Total A-Hole" from season 2013 of Conan, hosted by Conan O'Brien, is a comedic exploration of the cultural stigma surrounding Hummer drivers. The opening monologue features jokes about the size and environmental impact of Hummers, as well as their association with "a-holes." Conan then introduces the titular guest, a man named Jerry who drives a Hummer but does not fit the negative stereotype.

Jerry, who works as a contractor, explains that he bought his Hummer used and primarily uses it for work purposes. He acknowledges the negative perceptions of Hummer drivers but insists that he is not one of the "a-holes" often associated with the vehicle. Conan jokingly calls Jerry a "Hummer ambassador" and proceeds to ask him questions about the practicality and performance of the car.

The conversation segues into a bit where Conan and Jerry stage a mock fight, with Conan taking on the persona of an anti-Hummer activist and Jerry defending his vehicle. The two engage in tongue-in-cheek insults and jabs at each other's beliefs. The bit ends with Conan declaring that they have reached a truce and are "committed to mutual humiliation."

The next segment features a "Clueless Gamer" sketch, in which Conan reviews the video game "Far Cry 3" and comically struggles with the controls. He jokingly compares the game's protagonist to the "Jersey Shore" character Snooki and criticizes the game for not allowing him to punch a monkey character. The sketch includes humorous sound effects and animations, as well as a cameo from actor Elijah Wood.

The episode's musical guest is the band Divine Fits, who perform their song "Like Ice Cream." The performance includes flashing lights and a simple stage setup featuring the band members playing their instruments.

After the musical interlude, Conan welcomes his second guest, comedian Jeff Ross. The two discuss Ross's experiences roasting celebrities and his new Comedy Central show, "The Burn with Jeff Ross." Ross acknowledges the fine line between humor and offensiveness in roasting and shares anecdotes about his interactions with celebrities like Charlie Sheen and Donald Trump. The conversation ends with Ross offering to roast Conan at a future date.

The final segment of the episode features a comedy bit where Conan and a group of audience members perform a spoof of the film "Zero Dark Thirty," with Conan playing the role of a CIA agent leading the mission. The bit includes exaggerated action scenes and comedic portrayals of characters like Osama bin Laden and President Obama.

Overall, "The Guy Who Drove a Hummer and Wasn't a Total A-Hole" is a lighthearted episode of Conan that blends witty banter with lighthearted comedy sketches. The guests are affable and charismatic, adding to the enjoyable, easygoing vibe of the show.
