When Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg showed up on Conan on February 8th, Conan O’Brien invited the hugely-popular YouTube gamer to appear on an upcoming episode of his Clueless Gamer series. Two weeks later, that segment has arrived, with O’Brien and PewDiePie playing the game Far Cry Primal.
As in other Clueless Gamer episodes, O’Brien uses his Far Cry Primal play session to poke fun at the game, bemoan his own lack of skill, and, in general, yell a lot. PewDiePie sits next to him as a guide of sorts, and he manages to refrain from cracking too many jokes about O’Brien’s complete inability to master the game’s controls. As a result, many commenters have given the Swedish YouTube star a hard time, but if you enjoy his videos, you’ll probably enjoy him here, too.
The video served as promotional material for two separate recent releases. It gives viewers a look at Far Cry Primal, which arrived on the same day as the video’s release, and also reminded them about Scare PewDiePie, a new web series that puts its titular star into real-life horror movie scenarios. The series is available from YouTube Red.
