Conan O’Brien’s Kinder Gentler Grand Theft Auto
Maybe we found this video exceptionally hilarious because it reminded us of the very first time we played Grand Theft Auto. After a quick trip to Best Buy we excitedly popped in the game disk and got started. With no real concept of the game but a huge desire to skid around the dark and gritty streets in a really fast car, we walked around the town feeling clueless looking for an ATM and a car lot so we could by a car. After several days spent walking around various neighborhoods and few trips to the pawn shop, we decided to press pause and make a phone call to a friend with a fifteen year old son who we knew was a huge GTA player to ask about the location of the ATMs and where we could purchase the things we needed to get around in the game. Apparently we were taking the wrong approach as we were told that there are no ATMs in Grand Theft Auto and that if we wanted to obtain a vehicle that we should “just jack one from somebody.” Oh, now it’s clear, apparently our lack of “go to” criminal instincts was costing us dearly in the game. So maybe that explains why this video of a Kinder Gentler Grand Theft Auto seemed perfectly logical to us. Maybe we should just stick to playing The Sims.
Is it us or does the voice sound kind of like Danny Tanner from Full House?
