Paul Rudd Surprises Conan With A Clip From His New Podcast | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend 

Big norm macdonald shaggy dog vibes 😅🤣

I'd guess he prepared it but still, his delivery is what sells the performance. To know what to say and exactly how to say it to not appear scripted is a real acting skill lol

@@MrGuitaristgamer101 For real, this guy should def work in Hollywood

@@frcShoryuken... 🙄🙄🙄

@@MrGuitaristgamer101 😜😜 I'm just messin ❤️

and Conan's "OHH jesus" hahahaha

He’s an actor

that's why he gets louder on the pronunciations near the end because he's trying to contain himself.

I'm starting to think it was way more than 2 minutes... try since the start of the podcast, ya I think Paul has gone that far down the rabbit-hole of depravity with this one.

@@BrotherlyLove12 therefore it’s not impressive?

Paul is the human form of a golden retriever.

It really is!

The Irish came right out of him

It never ends ❤

I had to clip it, just for personal use ru-vid.comUgkxXwMheCXOthSurKlkBtEtPeeN_2u7-wGQ

@@slackeratlarge575and hopefully never will. This will go on forever. If Conan dies first, This will be in Paul's eulogy. If Paul dies first this will be played to troll Conan one last time.

No, Paul Rudd will leave this joke in his will for Conan and have the attorney play a video of himself saying his goodbye's to everyone and what he's leaving them as it cuts to Mac & Me.

😄😄😄

😂🤣

Either scenario works

I really hope that they take Andy's suggestion of "Whichever one of you dies first, you have to do that at the other's funeral"

not just Conan...but us

@Der Typ I'm not that cynical with Rudd as I think he's genuinely a good guy who long ago stopped caring about money/success (once he wasn't struggling anymore at least), in that I can see him being like "Well, that thing I was in didn't do so well...oh well, I wish it was better so people would of enjoyed it more, not so I would get more money from it or future projects", so, anyway, I don't think this was ever a gimmick to get him known for this unique "ploy". I don't think he went on Conan decades ago and was like "What can I do so that people will know me are more than 'That one guy...you know, in that thing...', "What can I do so people will remember my name?". I think he came up with this purely because he thought it was funny, thought Conan would love it and maybe the public might too, and then just kept doing it purely to make Conan/us laugh.

One does not simply go on Conan as Paul Rudd and not show the clip

He was the same way on Hot Ones. I think the dude just likes enjoying himself and people in his company.

100% Michael. Also the fact that he does PR work on Conan so often. Paul Rudd, Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Norm, Bill Hader, Rashida Jones, and Tim Olyphant, all adore Conan.

And the man hasn't aged a day. It's to the point where I think there might be some bizarre contract with the devil where, if he gets the Mac and Me clip played, it extends his youth by a year.

and on the eighteenth birthday he found out it wasn't his

If Conan goes first, I know this is morbid, but I hope Paul does this at his funeral

damn my whole lifetime

@@ThreeWarmAndWildEyes dude goes to quantum realm yearly to preserve his youth

Mac and Me was the names of the Bing twins and a lot of people forget that

He's cracking a smile when it cuts back to him and then afterwards he smiles multiple times. He's cracked multiple smiles albeit small ones after he's shown the clip but go on. 🤦‍♂️

You shut your damn mouth, 2004 was not eighteen years ago! Like... six years tops!

@@LiftYourGame They're referring to the _setup_ of the joke. Obviously.

This is also the ONLY time that he has even acknowledged (after the clip was played) that it was, in fact, not the clip he had previously described

It sounds like he 100% ad-libbed it.

Easily my favorite part of the clip

You know what sounds weird, when he describes the clip, he went into Ron Burgundy, to do acting. It seems like that is the tone and face he put on, the way he enounciates everything.

Mac and me what a classic

Legitimately the hardest I've laughed in weeks.

I bet Paul trolls him with sending him DVDs of the movie

"... and he stumbles into this CRAFT store..."

Conan is in on it too, he's not an idiot

No call to be rude

@@kirbylover37It's debatable about when it was on tv, like at a certain point he at least had to expect it, but it's EXTREMELY obvious he was not expecting it this time.

what funeral you psycho

@@waldo719 it’s just a joke. Please don’t slap him!

conan is dying?

@@analcommando1124 Aren't we all?

Beat me to it.

Even crazier this time, since the entire setup is totally made up. Every other time he at least describes a real project, then we get the clip. This is amazing - the details, the name dropping. Chef's kiss

@@CalamityCannon ikr 🤣🤣🤣

I think this proves what a good actor he is. If he can fake Conan out so well..

I mean that’s literally what the bit is. You said it’s the funniest part when it literally is the set up lmao it wouldn’t work if he said “here’s a clip from Mac and me” or if he said “here’s a clip from my show” but was laughing the whole time, he’s an actor that’s like the easiest part of it. What’s impressive is Conan doesn’t catch on, but he might just be pretending to to not ruin the joke

If I were Conan, I'd at least believe the possibility that it's real, since the podcast is an audio medium and the project was described so elaborately with real people Paul's worked with before.

And Paul will look exactly the same then as he does here right now.

@@RobinDale50 You beat me to that comment!

I enjoy this bit as even more than I enjoy Jimmy Kimmel's "hate" for Matt Damon.

Paul will probably do it at Conan's funeral too. He will start saying he made a video with Conan a short while ago and it's a very endearing video and at the end is just the same clip one last time... Ok, now I'm sad.

@@eduardoarmenta9232 Don't worry there'll be Tribute to Conan concerts or comedy specials every 10 years like they do with the Beatles. Paul will still be doing that bit then

Lol, same exact thing. Sorta split focus and when the clip hit again, got that sweet nostalgic rush.

Same here 😂

He caught us slipping

So the joke worked on a podcast 😆

After a very stressful day, I was listening during shower, as usual, and the more he talked about the audible project , I was all in. Fully buying it. Then I heard the squeaking wheelchair, and when Conan said “oh for Christs sake “, I yelled “no way!!!” And burst out laughing . Rudd , dammit , you’re a Legend.

yeah the gag never got a big laugh out of me before even though I loved it, but it actually fooled me this time and I laughed so damn hard

I thought it worked too! So goofy. I died laughing.

That was a long and great set-up

@@ahoymate5059 Norm would be proud, lol

Today was his bday. April 6

That commitment is everything, the perfect joke

@Miles Doyle what in the goddamn

Same here. And the better the joke, the greater the chance I'll break too early.

For real. I can keep a straight face with a random person to make a joke, but to Conan, after you've been bullshitting for like an hour..

@Miles Doyle lol what the hell? how did you go on a giant rant about the Bible after seeing a Paul rudd clip? lol I don't see the connection

It's not every day you see a RU-vid comment that paints a picture with its words.

"Beignet, done that." Was almost enough for me to believe Paul when I was listening to the podcast but the entire time I was thinking "I bet he is going to Mac and Me this thing"

@@keithadoodle HAHAHAAH

He is seriously one of the masters of deadpan comedy. He had the hook set in DEEP and reeled Conan in like he was a tuna

It's that RADA training working for him.

I hope a magazine gives him an award and puts him on the cover or something soon. This dude needs recognition.

One of the best examples of success through persistence

Youre so right. Son of a bitch a comedy hall of fame is a brilliant idea.

no, it was funny the first time too

@@genericyoutubehandle Bland jokes can still be funny, it just wasn't gut-bustingly funny. It was this weird non-sequitur that didn't make any sense. It was only after I realized that Paul was going to make it a running gag mainly to annoy/amuse Conan that it became hilarious.

The way he built it up was amazing 🤣

@@Adriangabs I know right…the little details about Katrina and still being displaced 😂so good

I wish I was listening to the podcast first, that was pretty good; mighta got me. 😆

@@jozz2248 agreed, Paul has a thin line between sarcasm and Genuineness lol

I thought he was genuinely promoting something until he said he has a clip lmao

Nice name, should I sub in case of an even(tual)flow of videos?

Yeah I mean obviously we had the advantage of the thumbnail but when he got into the plot and gave the main character's name, that started to gave it away. Still, love the gag; it never gets old.

You missed "You can't do that on a podcast!" "Right. Well..." Paul Rudd didn't even think about the logistics of playing that clip on an audio podcast. He did it as naturally as he breathed.

"Ruddroll!" Perfect!

#RuddRoll

JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM.

PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER! GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS! MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS! JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON (THESE ARE END TIMES) WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR. HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU! Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

he's either a true psychopath or honestly one of the greatest actors of our generation

@@andrewtregoning ¿Por qué no los dos?

@@andrewtregoning probably both but I'd still want to have a beer with Rudd

Yeah like, how can you mention a "Beignet, done that" t-shirt and then do that. That's a way too elaborate lie, hahaha

So, the joke will never die?

Paul Rudd maybe coming across to be the best actor to ever live

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2WWRHxgGsjc.html :

It's legit hilarious,what a running gag, after the end of the Conan on TV when Rudd did it on his final shows I thought the gag was retired n it's hilarious to see its still going strong 🤣🤣

The same!

@Miles Doyle I'm glad you aren't a fan of punctuation & paragraphs.🤣

@Miles Doyle didn't read, lol!

Did it sound that good though? :) it was about someone meeting a publicist at a craft store or something , sounded excruciating I think Rudd just wanted to weigh Conan down with details so the sleight of hand could take place

Assign Ken Marino to any fictional project and I’m sold

That's sad to hear, I hope you'll feel better, and your doggy too. Losing a family member is heartbreaking and losing a pet is awful too. I'm glad legendary Paul Rudd still managed to make you laugh :) Wish you the best

@@Nikus4264 That was so kind of you to reach out and say. Thank you so much for that ❤️

Don't think of it as losing him, he simply left a little early to beat the traffic.

I'm sorry for your loss

@@johncrankshaft2886 that's beautiful man you got me

why? where is it from? why does everybody knows it? I'm sooooo lost

@@catalinaaraya8197 Rudd has been bringing this clip onto Conan for years and years. A really long running joke. Check it on youtube.

That's why it works!

mental scars from years of getting ruddrolled

Lmaoooo he seems to sense what’s coming

Yeah. I think he had his palm on his face to keep from laughing.

I believe Conan saying this was real, but I assume 99% of the times at the actual show Conan knew or assumed it was coming.

@@carlosfer2201 likely he knows it’s coming, but I doubt he is told before it’s happening haha

If Paul did the prank on Fallon, I'd totally just think Fallon knew beforehand.

@Miles Doyle i ain't reading all that i'm happy for u tho or sorry that happened

@Enthusiastic Aizawa go watch any time paul rudd was a guest on conan's tv show

The thumbnail might've had something to do with it 😂

i mean... what's the worst that could happen if the stunt went wrong, he can't walk again? HA!

@@user-tz9jh6pv2j Or maybe it would have fixed his legs. You never know.

Also, he really wanted his scenes to be realistic and true to life, so in the finale he made them actually shoot him and blow him up.

The only reason they used a dummy for the over the cliff scene is when the actor did it, it didn’t look real enough.

You should!! I made my own iphone ring tones by importing the audio into itunes, converting to apple's m4a format, cut the bit you need and convert again to ring tone format (m4r) and import to your phone. I don't know if there's any other way to do this but it's how I did some years ago

Apparently, according to director John Hamburg, Paul loooves to do a bit / joke for a long time, like the "slappa da base" scene in I LOVE YOU, MAN.

Oh, and normally it wouldn't work on a podcast... but your fans have also seen this clip 160,000 times. It's pretty in there. Lol. I knew what what it was as soon as I heard the strings at the start of the clip.

So true

finally getting the attention he deserves....? he was literally on one of the most worldwide popular sitcoms of all time 20 years ago... then went on to star in like 10 blockbuster comedy and action movies over the past 20 years...

@@user-tz9jh6pv2j I think she wanted to emphasize on his acting skills rather than the jobs he got. I know he has been one the biggest stars of the last 2 decades but when we think of the most skillful actors, we almost never talk of him or others like him.

:)
