We chuckled at <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/30/daily-show-visits-liberty-city/">the Daily Show's coverage</a> of the game's midnight release, but thoroughly LOLed at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kgo0VXGixk">Conan O'Brien's previews</a> (embedded after the jump) of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXGSwx29EjI">the toned-down version of </a><em><a href="javascript:void(0);/*1209834262336*/">Grand Theft Auto IV</a> </em>(if only Stephen Bishop's classic "It Might Be You" <em>really were</em> available on Liberty City's airwaves).<br /><br />However, we didn't truly board the ROFLcopter until we saw <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sXmgM8_FGw">the above skit from The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson</a> (the former unitesticled boss on "The Drew Carey Show"). Perhaps it was the visit from "Saturday Night Live" veteran Tim Meadows that made it our fave, or perhaps it was their subtle send-up of the criticism the game has endured due to it's adult content. On that note, if there's anything funnier than <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRfpzjlZCVY">the <em>actual </em>media coverage of Rockstar's mature blockbuster</a>, we've yet to see it.<br /><br /><object width="490" height="404"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0kgo0VXGixk&amp;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0kgo0VXGixk&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="490" height="404"></embed></object><br /><br /><object width="490" height="404"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JXGSwx29EjI&amp;hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JXGSwx29EjI&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="490" height="404"></embed></object><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sXmgM8_FGw>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/03/grand-theft-auto-iv-takes-late-night-comedy-world-by-storm/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/forward/1185753/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/03/grand-theft-auto-iv-takes-late-night-comedy-world-by-storm/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>conan</category><category>conanobrien</category><category>craigferguson</category><category>grandtheftautoiv</category><category>gta-iv</category><category>latelateshow</category><category>rockstar</category><category>rockstargames</category><category>rockstarnorth</category><category>timmeadows</category><dc:creator>Griffin McElroy</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-03T15:00:00+00:00</dc:date></item></channel></rss>
