Blarney Buddies / Over The Hump / Johnny Meets Farrah Fawcett is the sixth episode of the first season of the animated television series Johnny Bravo, which was originally aired on July 16, 1997, on the Cartoon Network. In this episode, Johnny travels to Ireland, attempts to cross a treacherous desert, and meets his celebrity crush.
The episode begins with Johnny visiting Ireland to kiss the Blarney Stone, but he quickly finds that the line to do so is very large. With the help of a leprechaun who Johnny believes to be a child, Johnny sneaks to the front of the line and kisses the stone. As he leaves, Johnny is warned by the leprechaun that the kiss only works if the kisser has true Irish charm.
The next segment sees Johnny stranded in the middle of a desert after his car breaks down. As he wanders aimlessly, Johnny comes across a young man who can seemingly walk on air. The man offers Johnny a ride to the other side of the desert on his back, and they set off on their journey. Along the way, Johnny discovers the secret to the man's flight, but it is not what he expected.
Finally, in the last segment, Johnny bumps into his celebrity crush, Farrah Fawcett, at a local restaurant. He is overjoyed to meet her but makes a complete fool of himself in her presence. After several attempts to impress Farrah fail, Johnny finally manages to catch her attention in a rather unconventional way.
Throughout the episode, Johnny's over-the-top behavior and failed attempts at impressing others provide a comedic element to the show. The animation style is classic Cartoon Network with exaggerated features, bright colors, and slapstick humor.
The show's humor is aimed at a young adult audience, with occasional references to pop culture and real-life celebrities like Farrah Fawcett. The character of Johnny Bravo himself is a parody of various pop culture icons, like Elvis Presley, and this particular episode showcases his attempts at romance and adventure.
