He was shere khan in talespin (and I think in jungle book 2) and frollo from hunchback of Notre dame, he also played a good villain in Lois and Clark adventures of superman TV show
Virgil from Mighty Max. One of his few non villainous roles. And probably his only one where's he part of the protagonist's support as the wise mentor. A former coworker of mine knew him when they both were working for a news station in South Africa.
Looking back - Aliso village in ELA in the 80s was crazy fun. Sun Valley in the 90s was crazy fun too. My youth was bad as not a single phone to charge during those years.
I remember getting the Power Glove for Xmas in 89, I was so excited. Then I actually tried using it, the excitement wore off quickly haha. They made it look so cool in the commercials with Mike Tyson’s Punch Out :/
very few people "winced", although I'm sure a lot more are insufferable children who believe that if you don't memorize things they know then you're hurting them i guarantee you've made your mother cry in the other room when you told her the cake wasn't what you wanted because a line made a video game characters face look a little weird, or they had the wrong hair color or something actually insane behavior lol
@@Disconnected66 my mother? Clearly my comment made you wince a lot more than the wrong code made me wince. To bring my mom into this with some baseless guarantee of her crying in another room over cake? Let’s just bring it down a level. Look, I sincerely am sorry then if this comment triggered you. I truly am. It was a wrongly quoted Konami code, so I figured someone would also notice (29 likes as of today seemed like 29 people noticed it), but I didn’t mean to sound remotely insufferable or hurtful to those “insufferable children”.

I have a little sister who is a huge Legend of Zelda fan who getting married to a guy who is huge on the 90's Nintendo consoles...who also loves Legend of Zelda. I am speechless right now.
Wow! I remember that commercial vividly and how hyped I was. Couldn't wait till Christmas. I was 6 going on 7. Now I'm 39 going on 40. Wild. Time flies. Enjoy every moment you can.
I haven't watched the Today show since I owned a SNES, so my mind is a little more blown by Carson Daly being an anchor? Glad to see Al is still around.
i'd give that guy credit... somewhere packed behind the countless years of work, little figments of memories of the days spent behind that glorious CRT with the 8-bit/16-bit era of games still exist.
Hello. Good morning. My name is Brian López. My brother, Marcos Rodriguez, was born in Vieques, Puerto Rico, on November 26th, 1991, and he loves video games ever since! He loves PS1 games, Dreamcast games, PS2 games, PS3 games, every video game!
I actually remember that commercial and thinking how cool it would be to be able to plug my Super Nintendo into a movie screen lol. I did not remember that the actor was Paul Rudd though, that’s pretty funny.
The funniest part about this... this ad went viral like 10 years ago when we as a society realized Paul Rudd was like 15 years older than any one thought... and now a whole new generation is finding it... and STILL Paul Rudd is 30 years old
The thumbnail made me think that something terrible had happened to Paul Rudd, or that Paul Rudd had done something terrible. I should’ve known that none of that would be true and that this is just about a 90s Nintendo commercial that he was in 😆 He’s so lovely.
00:50 It was cool the media man at the end remembering the code to contra Up up down down left right left right b a b a select start to CONTRA 30 lives code
Is kind of crazy to be the same age for thirty years. Respect.
Just like Bart Simpson.
Some Gen X'ers are doing it, and we don't know why, but some aren't aging.
@@ricktheexplorer Yeah they're biding their time waiting for the Boomers to go. And then they'll inevitably say 'oh you thought we cared'?
He hasn’t aged at all
@ricktheexplorer that's not true they have some of the highest rates of cancer. Let's stop using celebrities as the average person.
That voiceover was the late Tony Jay, one of the greatest voices ever recorded.
I’ll always remember him from Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.
Don't forget Megabyte from ReBoot!!

ArchDeacon in hunchback of Notre dame
I was honestly expecting them to cut to that one Mac & Me clip
Eric!!
I would’ve died
I would of died 😂
Why? It had a Super Nintendo game?
Lol......😄😆😃
I had forgotten about that.....thanks for reminding us.
I’ve seen this 1,000 times and never noticed it was Paul Rudd
You didn't know him THEN!😂🤷🏾♂️
@@stryfetc1471 well no not back then but I’ve also seen it much more recently and it still didn’t click that was him.
For real!!! Im literally noticing that, "that is the super Nintendo guy!?" As i watched clueless (in 95) for the first time
Yall don’t know nothing bout thissssss 80/90s was AMAZING 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Amen
Yes I wish I could go back to the 80's
Looking back - Aliso village in ELA in the 80s was crazy fun. Sun Valley in the 90s was crazy fun too. My youth was bad as not a single phone to charge during those years.
What are you Bragging about? And yes I grew up in the 90s and remember it. Still you didn't do anything to brag about.
Right late AF 😆
I remember this ad from back in the day! 😄
I'm pretty sure that was the late Tony Jay narrating the ad, too.
Yup that was Tony.
I remember that very well. I remember the Power Glove commercial as well. Best time of my life.
I saw 'The Wizard' in 1989, and the antagonist had The Glove. My neighbor got one when they came out. 😄
I remember getting the Power Glove for Xmas in 89, I was so excited. Then I actually tried using it, the excitement wore off quickly haha. They made it look so cool in the commercials with Mike Tyson’s Punch Out :/
@@bamboosho0t "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad."
Ooh, "best time of your life" huh? I'm sorry to hear that given it was 35 YEARS ago. How sad to have peaked so long ago...
@@ross-carlson I was a little kid and didn’t have to worry about adult things.
So yeah, it was a wonderful time. I never said it was my “peak”.
0:53 who here immediately winced when they heard the wrong code…

@@Disconnected66 touch grass
It's close to the code for Super C... Still wrong, but no need for more unhingedness on the Internet.
I did
Best work he’s ever done.
I remember this commercial from back then and even more of how much I begged and pleaded with my parents to get a Super NES. I got one that Christmas.
I'm convinced Paul Rudd is a vampire.
I have a little sister who is a huge Legend of Zelda fan who getting married to a guy who is huge on the 90's Nintendo consoles...who also loves Legend of Zelda. I am speechless right now.

Paul is one of those guys that looked 35 in high school and just stayed there forever.
Like Richard Dreyfuss.
Super Nintendo was the system. Ah man, the good old days of gaming 👊🏿
Every kid who had contra on Nintendo knows that code by heart still to this day
No I don’t
There's also one with Tim Robbins for the original Zelda in 1986.
No… Tim Robbins was 28 years old in 1986. The kid in that “Zelda rap” commercial is a teenager.
The late Phil Hartman was in the atari
2600 hockey commercial.
Paul Beubens, aka PeeWee Herman, he was in the LoZ ad
Beubens ya i’ve heard him
Is that the one were a guy in all black just jumps over a stage while yelling out Zelda?
I haven't watched the Today show since I owned a SNES, so my mind is a little more blown by Carson Daly being an anchor? Glad to see Al is still around.
Right? Would have never guessed you could go from MTV to The Today Show.
You can tell he was a comedic genius right there. Star in the making, love it❣️😂
0:54…actually…it’s up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start. That’s contra cheat code for 30 lives
On the NES, though. If that guy was intending to say that, he's probably one of those guys that gets the NES and the Super NES confused.
Knew I wouldn't be the only one to catch it!😂😂😂
It’s actually called the Konami code and not just for Contra
i'd give that guy credit... somewhere packed behind the countless years of work, little figments of memories of the days spent behind that glorious CRT with the 8-bit/16-bit era of games still exist.
I thought it was “select, start” at the end.
That's what made him. All those expressions!!
I remember watching this back in the TV!
Hello. Good morning. My name is Brian López. My brother, Marcos Rodriguez, was born in Vieques, Puerto Rico, on November 26th, 1991, and he loves video games ever since! He loves PS1 games, Dreamcast games, PS2 games, PS3 games, every video game!
perfect opportunity for Nintendo to redo a commercial if they name the switch successor the super nintendo switch
That would be great marketing! The kids might not get it but the adults with the money will.
Paul Rudd is amazing
SNES is an all time classic game console system. 💯
I remember watching that commercial on tv when it originally aired.
He looks like he hasn't aged AT ALL in the last 3 DECADES!
Makes the joke Deadpool says on Deadpool & Wolverine more funny.
This commercial is the source of a bucket list item I've had since I was 10.
Epic! I remember the commercial and thinking I need a SNES.
That commercial was the DREAM back then. We wanted to find a drive in or movie theater that would let us play a SNES on that gigantic screen!
Peak Mike Tyson playing as little Mac in his own video game has to be the most memorable 80s video game commercial
Once I saw this clip, I totally remembered this commercial. It's funny to see it was Paul Rudd in it.
I actually remember that commercial and thinking how cool it would be to be able to plug my Super Nintendo into a movie screen lol. I did not remember that the actor was Paul Rudd though, that’s pretty funny.
I was honestly caring about the Super NES. Fast forwarding many years later, still do.😊
Seen this commercial for many times, failed to knew that he was Paul Rudd all this time
Paul Rudd needs to do a Nintendo Commercial for the new Nintendo Switch successor so it can go full circle.
I’m so jealous that he has not aged at all. He is very handsome
Viral ?! Seriously ?!
Y'all been living under a rock for 30+ years !
lol
It’s not that serious bud lol relax
Get you some v homie
Paul Rudd a Super Nintendo guy? The man can do no wrong
The funniest part about this... this ad went viral like 10 years ago when we as a society realized Paul Rudd was like 15 years older than any one thought... and now a whole new generation is finding it... and STILL Paul Rudd is 30 years old
Now you’re playing with power!
Real
Super power
The thumbnail made me think that something terrible had happened to Paul Rudd, or that Paul Rudd had done something terrible. I should’ve known that none of that would be true and that this is just about a 90s Nintendo commercial that he was in 😆 He’s so lovely.
He's immortal
For those that remember that commercial
Remember to take your omega 3s
Rest
Naps are totally ok 👌
And yes we are getting old
We got Paul Rudd staring in a Nintendo commercial before gta 6
This is probably the coolest first gig of a famous Hollywood actor I've ever seen.
Its official, Paul Rudd is a vampire.
He went from playing Super Nintendo to becoming an Avenger.
The Super Nintendo is the Michael Jordan of video game consoles
This video goes viral like every 3 years lol
I remember this commercial! You rock Paul! 🧛♂️
Actors are expected to look the same for decades. God knows how many treatments hes had.
Paul Rudd is a legend!
I love Paul Rudd
HOLY $#!?. THEY READ MY TWEET ON THE TODAY SHOW 😂😂😂
Up down left right A,B,A,B. Best cheat code I never knew existed.
When think of Paul Rudd in the 90s, Clueless comes to mind 😊
Romeo + Juliet too.
And that one time he went up against Michael Myers…
@@leecroft1983 Oh that's right. Totally forgot about that movie. That was the one before H20.
Why because it looks like he filmed it yesterday?
there's two minutes I'll never get back...
I remember seeing this commercial during Saturday morning cartoons. Where has the time gone??
I love the joke in Deadpool and Wolverine when Deadpool said “well we see Pail Rudd finally aged” 😂
Growing up in this time frame was so sick 🤙
Paul Rudd does what Paul Ruddon't. I'll see myself out.
No you stay and explain yourself. lol
Thats so funny bro but you have to leave 🚪
and then he played a clip from the next super nintendo game.. mac&me the video game
Why was SimCity fun? I'd leave my SNES running, cut the TV off, come home after school, and see how my city grew. 🍻
i remember first playing super mario world on christmas of 1990. when i got my first super nintendo, and that game came automatically with it.
I was there on release date.
Wow i remember that commercial. And playing my SNES.
It would be legendary for Paul to come back and reveal the next Switch system in a 90s style commercial
You know who hasn’t really aged either? Jhonen Vazquez. He still looks as young as ever and last time I checked he was 40.
Yoooo Jhonen Vásquez mentioned?? Today is a good day.
Iconic.
Right when I pulled up UA-cam and saw his face I was “oh no” but thankfully that was not the case 😂😂
Same
"You might get old if you stop playing"
Still looking fine before and now
I’ve known this was Paul Rudd since the 1990s also Scott Whyte is also in the JVC X-Eye Commercial he is of Mighty Ducks and City Guys fame
Is that Carson Daly? I was not expecting to see him here lol
Better him than Ryan Seacrest.
Carson Daily aging pretty good too. Good for you Carson, can I put a request in for Korn Freak on a Leash? Thanks yo!
00:50
It was cool the media man at the end remembering the code to contra
Up up down down left right left right b a b a select start to CONTRA 30 lives code
If Paul Rudd couldn't get any cooler we find this gem!!
Yes
This GEM has been around for a long time. It wasn't "suddenly" discovered
The only 'cool celebrity' is Donald Trump
The only cool celebrity is Donald Trump dude.
@@Benjamin_Gellmango stand in the corner and think about what you said 👉
Playing video games on a drive in screen would literally complete my life! Where can I sign up for this 🤔
I think you mean a commercial starring Tony Jay featuring Paul Rudd. RIP.
90's an Super Nintendo era was the best
woah Carson Daly looks almost unrecognizable from his TRL days
Laughing because the Konami Code isn't from Nintendo... 😂
That wasn't even the konami code
I remember it as up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, select, start 😂
actually…it’s up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, start
Omg! I remember that commercial! 😂😂😂
somebody make this a movie!
The way my brain immediately remembered this ad…
He's as timeless as Tom Cruise
Who's gonna tell him?
Only without the insufferable narcissism
This reminds me of Paul's video "celery man" on youtube.
With his hair, he looks like Benedict Cumberbatch lol
That was better than the halloween movie he was in
Could have been filmed yesterday. Dude does not age.
He should be in the Highlander reboot.
IT'S THE RING! 😂🍻
He's actually 10 in this commercial. He's just always looked that way.
Up, Up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Select, Start
I remember this commercial
That was the era before all the DLC and P2W crap, you actually OWNED your games, good times!
Paul Rudd was a 90s kid like me. And we both age slowly for some reason, too.
