PAUL RUDD: ALSO Y

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…
