I remember when WHAS came out and thinking "Oh sure, Meatballs PARODY, must be written by one of those spectacularly unfunny alt-comedy TV troupes."

hey loser was clueless filmed at your school????? didnt think so SUCKA

WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS?

wo ist shape of things?

I WISH I WERE I MEAN! SHIT SUBJUNCTIVES AND I DO NOT GET ALONG, EVER

you guys are all parodying yourselves now, aren't you

i wouldn't imagine there is much bro-appeal in his clueless role? i think WHAS is the correct answer for the cafeteria cleaning bit, yeah, although the apatow movies are tempting

HEY MAX LETS MAKE A LIST OF MOVIES THAT WERENT FILMED AT YR SCHOOL

i saw night at the museum on a plane it was sort of weird but i had drank like 2/3ds of a bottle of nyquil so i wasnt concentrating on the plot

YOU TASTE LIKE A BURGER. I DON'T LIKE YOU ANYMORE.

HEY DR MORBIUS MAYBE YOU SHOULD LAY OFF TALKING ABOUT MOVIES YOU HAVEN'T EVER SEEN, IE ANY "TALKIE" OK THANKS

I voted WHAS.

YOU TASTE LIKE A BURGER. I DON'T LIKE YOU ANYMORE.

OTM. Also the part where he's making out and the kid drowns.

BEAR OMELET, no/nutz

Ally, see Gen X Cops first! That is some Jackie Chan-studios Hong Kong hilarity in action-movie format. I used to like it v much! Always meant to see the sequel but it took like five years to be released here at all so I lost interest.

everything paul rudd does in whas is basically the most amazing acting ever in history

the best part about WHAS is christopher meloni

the real actors in whas are the ones that make the movie

btw Rudd has done Shakespeare in NY.

i think you should tell your paul rudd story, here.

eventually, k

you're going to forget, that happens to ppl, you know, at some time in their life :\

Trivia

In 1998, he began filming on a movie called "Chicken Blood and Other Tales", but production was cancelled before it wrapped.

top to bottom: straight male ILX posters, paul rudd as himself

So Paul Rudd is attending the wedding of a showbiz friend (not an actor). And near the end of the reception they show the guests giving their good wishes on a giant videoscreen, and Rudd comes on in closeup sincerely blathering "You're beautiful, I know you'll build a loving home" etc. The camera gradually pulls back to reveal that he's whacking off in a toilet stall.

The mother of the bride requests he be ejected immediately, and as he is escorted out by 2 or 3 guys, Rudd waves and shouts "I love you all!"

WAU!

Cusak is too much of a pussy to do or say anything as awesome as that

bro for all-time

PAUL RUDD: OTM

it's like a funny version of the jeremey piven story that is somewhere on ilx

true american

saw 'our idiot brother' and i just want to cuddle paul rudd so bad right now

his role as the creepy lamaze instructor on Reno 911 was pretty fantastic

Also, this is amazing:

eh, no embedding...

just got no love for this Rudd guy

gtfo

Our Idiot Brother would've been great, if it hadn't had the "happy ending for everyone" Hollywood ending. It was still okay (and Rudd was indeed endearing in it), but it was no Role Models.

Tuomas as Francesca Fiore and Bruno Pontz Jones in a Kids In The Hall sketch: "They would never kill hero in American movie, ah? No. With them, it's always the happy ending. Always the football player throw the ball for the big win, ah? Yes. Always the puppy, licking the face."

I saw Our Idiot Brother last night and it was pretty nice (the "slight" assessment above is in the right direction though, but I don think that's a real problem)but that end scene where they talked about the candle recycling is one of the funniest things I've seen in a comedy film in years.

Tuomas, I'd say Role Models suffered worse for the forced happy ending.

"just a couple of guys and a dog makin' candles"
"what a cliche!"

In Role Models the happy endings felt organic,because the stories culminated with them, the whole movie was about earning those happy endings. Whereas in Our Idiot Brother the happy endings felt more tacked-on, something that had to be included because (according to the cliche) no story can end on an ambiguous or open note. (I'm not talking about the candle-making thing, that was fine, but was it really necessary to introduce a new love interest for the protagonist literally in the last scene? That was totally deus ex machina.)

No, the new love interest was not necessary and it was too neat for my liking (I also seen In A World recently and it was another slightly unusual comedy that had a forced crowdpleaser end it really didn't need) but surely the line in Role Models "when I get out of jail can I play with your 9 year old son?" (can't remember the exact line) underlined in a wink to the audience how unbelievable the resolution was.

I'd imagine that all three films had some of these things imposed on them.

I mean... these were light-hearted movies full of likable actors playing likable (if flawed) characters finding themselves in mild peril to comedic effect. If you can't handle movies like that ending on an up note then I don't even know...

It isn't the up note that bothers us, it's the contrived forced events that weaken the whole thing.

xp - idiot brother was pretty good imo. though i forgot this smug asshole was in it, i fuckin hate this guy:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/af/AdamScottTIFFSept2011.jpg/220px-AdamScottTIFFSept2011.jpg

got most of the quiz right, feel like he had a ruddier complexion in the older photos? he's gotten a little smoother as he's aged

a ruddier complexion

also i feel like i confuse "idiot brother" w/ "wanderlust" b/c they both have paul rudd and hippies in the movie, "wanderlust" was not very good though

that is not how you pronounce donegal

this dude is 50 in april 2019, wtf

yeah in Ant-Man and the Wasp, he looked like he'd aged five years max from Clueless, which actually came out 23 years ago.

also Michelle Pfeiffer playing his would-be mother-in-law was o_O considering they've been in a rom-com playing each other's love interest.

this dude is 50 in april 2019, wtf

Not true:

I have watched this clip multiple times in the last week and I dont get sick of it.

I mean its not quite up there with Celery Man but its damn good.

I love him but let's cut it out with the "I can't believe (celebrity) looks this good at age (x)!" meme, these people are barely humans, such is their access to health and wellness regimens, which I imagine in many cases are more or less mandatory

(yes, I hate fun)

Man owns a candy shop

One of the many things that is great about the Rudd video is how he (who whomever) absolutely nails the weird '90s nostalgia, which is a real thing even though I never thought it would or could be a thing (though of course it could be and is). My girls wear mom jeans.

we gotta yeet this virus

why is that so funny to me

It's the "almost" aside that kills me.

"yeet this virus" also slayed me, despite the fact that I had never heard that word before and wasnt sure if the joke was that he was using it correctly or incorrectly or what

I assumed yeet was, like, odd Pittsburgh slang, which would make it even funnier.

My 9 year-old and his friends seem to use yeet as either just a general expression of excitement or surprise, or in a more specific context of throwing something - throwing a baseball a long distance or throwing garbage at the bin across the room.

why does he look like Paul Kaye at the end there, it's nearly ruined Paul Rudd for me

cw: cuomo content

Well, yes:

Once I was in the spa in a hotel in Vegas getting a massage. When I finished I turned over and to my shock Paul Rudd was massaging me. He saw me go in and convinced the masseuse to let him take over, thinking I’d notice immediately. I didn’t, and Paul did the entire rest of it.

well, Y iirc

lmao

Paul Rudd went on Conan’s podcast and spent a good amount of time plugging an Audible series he created. It was five minutes into it that he set up an audio clip and I realized what he was doing…

ha I'd never heard of that gag but I have now educated myself. Thought it was gonna be a rickroll!
