This episode should be 4 hrs long. Paul’s had such a prolific career
When he said "it's been almost 9 years playing antman" I thought it was a joke cause it said it came out 2015. I started counting and wtf its almost 10 years ago
@@KinobambinoFUCK
@@Kinobambino and shooting probably started a year or two earlier

How do you not talk about Role Models? That’s one of the most underrated comedies of the 21st century. Paul is so good in that
if you’re white, then you’re Ben Affleck!
tru
Scrolled down looking for this!
Checked the comments for this specific one. I knew someone else must’ve had this thought.
It surprised me too that it wasn't here. It's so good and also has such a good message behind it.
His "Perks of Being a Wallflower" performance is severely underrated in this regard. Possibly because he only has a couple of scenes in it, but he plays the mentor character incredibly well.
Bruhh he was the English teacher right ? Or sum, I completely forgot about that movie 🐐🐐
He played a great key part to the film. But it definitely is not top of the list of his performances. In saying that though, it’s a great movie and a great role.
ive never seen him in a dramatic role
Terrible movie
Great movie.
This could have been a two hour feature documentary with just Paul Rudd talking about his roles and I would watch it in a heart beat.
Something like that would get more views on Netflix than Making a Murderer lol😂
I would watch a miniseries with him just talking about his experiences
Same
Same
TRUW
Paul Rudd has been the man ever since clueless. Just realised he's been part of almost all the funny and wholesome movies since the 00s. Legendary guy.
Like every funny movie
For me, Paul became a legend as he consistently and repeatedly trolled Conan with the same 'Mac and Me' clip.
Even on Conan’s podcast, which made it even funnier.
I was hoping they would pull it on him here, and ask him to talk about Mac and Me
LOL YES!! I just posted about that! Slays me every time.
I met Jade around when he was in it.
He never promotes himself on talk shows and I love it
Paul Rudd had me with Clueless. I never looked back. He is a gem and absolutely must see. I love this guy
“I love Josh!” Everyone loved Josh❣️He’s a Baldwin😂 Love Paul, same never looked back!
I know he wasn't in there that long but I loved his character in FRIENDS. He was so funny in that role
When he pantomimes playing piano with so much energy 😂
He’s such a relatable guy. I think his performance in “I Love You, Man” was so unique with all his mannerisms. He’s able to be funny and vulnerable at the same time while not trying. And he basically invented “Totes Magotes”. He’s a legend.
People keep saying that, but the truth is, teenagers were saying that long before the movie. At least at my high school between the years 2001 to 2005. My guess is there was a millennial involved in making that movie.
That movie has basically been indicative of most of my adult life; can’t believe it took me that long to see it.
I love him and Jason segel together. Excellent duo. Tom soyyyyoooiii
Yes and Jon fav was too funny
I def say Totes Magotes or Totes on the reg. Lol
Role models, friends, parks and Recreation, Halloween:the curse of Michael Myers, dinner for schmucks, ghostbusters after life. Just some of the roles not mentioned.maybe a part 2? Seriously, he is the best, most likable guy in Hollywood. What a career, what a human!
"...most likable guy in Hollywood." Him and Tom Hanks may have to have a fight over that.
@@cornbredx after the tom hanks pedo allegations... there's no fight. paul hands down
@@cornbredx yea maybe dont read what tom hanks is accused of
@@cornbredx Tom Hanks is pedo...
@@israelrocha2878 wdym
The amount of times Paul has played a “Pete” or “Peter” is intense lmfaoooo 😂😂
Perks of being a Wallflower should be in this simply for his line "We accept the love we think we deserve"
Paul Rudd never ceases to be wholesome and hilarious.
Never thought I’d see a comedic actor like Paul Rudd in the MCU. He has absolutely nailed it as the iconic Ant Man since then. Loved his performances in “Anchorman” and “Knocked up” also.
Why did only knocked up get quotes
Do you not have eyes? Did you miss Chris Evans and Chris Pratt? And I'm sure I can find other "comedic actors" turned super heroes.
@@Professor_Gamble And Robert Downey Jr. was a comedy actor and he was the first super hero in the MCU.
I feel like Paul Rudd is the nicest dude ever. He's one of those guys that would be so easy to just hang out with.
I love how this is less a breakdown of how he gets into character and why he's an actor, and it's really just 26 minutes of him telling us how awesome his life is.
I use the "60% the time, it works every time," quote at least once a week to this day!! LMAO
just now realizing how calming his voice is, he should read audiobooks
He's already done an audio book.
@@KW-ro5ow i went and looked after i posted my comment and saw that. Tishomingo Blues by Elmore Leonard is in my cart now.
That's the one I have. I'm in the UK and had to import it. Enjoy.
He also narrated that planet earth-like nature show on AppleTV+. Great voice.
he sounds like a AI i cant tell if this is actaully him or not because hes so monotone
"Oh the weather outside is weather" is maybe my favorite lines in anything ever.
He really does seem just like a genuine amazing and funny guy. So cool to hear literally most the scenes he’s been in have been improv, shows how hilarious he really is. Protect this gem, Paul Rudd is fantastic. ❤
Paul is just brilliant. He's smart and funny, and just as gorgeous now as he was in Clueless.
What a genuine, down to Earth guy. No wonder he's so easily likeable in his roles
His mirror scene in Wanderlust is one of the best things to ever grace cinema. Not to mention the joke where the hippies are out of touch with technology and there's a nod to the Nintendo Power Glove, which was actually Paul's first commercial appearance
One of the funniest scenes I’ve ever watched.
That scene is hilarious and I watch it when I’m having a bad day. Never fails to make me laugh!
Omg! Yes! I forgot about that scene, and it was gold!
Hands down one of the best comedy movies, ever! So underrated.
Your manager was wrong. Thousands of teen girls and and young women around the world fell for Paul Rudd over Clueless and that scene.
The first 25 seconds of this video just confirms for me why I love Paul Rudd's sense of humor.
His hair and skin are flawless
As many great roles as Rudd has had, I still think there's a lead that's waiting for him that shows the best of what he can do that hasn't happened yet.
I would argue Living With Yourself is his magnum opus. Sad he didn’t mention it here
Your right, I was jealous of the scenes with Alicia.
My favourite of his performances is in “Our Idiot Brother” and hardly anyone has ever seen it! So underrated
I love that movie, so underrated and such an amazing performance by Rudd!!!
It stinks
I'm gutted he didn't talk about that film. The opening scene in that movie is brilliant :D
i was disappointed that movie didn't make the list
@@sahej6939the hole in your mom that you crawled out of stinks
I Love You Man is legit one of my favourite movies just because of how good it makes me feel. All the actors seem like they're having fun and the lines are so memorable.
I Love You, Man is one of the most underrated comedies this century. I rewatch it at least once a year
The Stan Lee being happy about ant man being cast as a film to truly display the magnitude and differences in size that comics couldn't hit me in the feels.
Clueless was my FAVORITE and where I first discovered Paul Rudd 💚😍 he's an amazing actor!
Me too!
Same it was on yesterday I think I know most of the movie word for word
Romeo and Juliet and Clueless…😍
The Object of my Affection
Paul is immortal I swear dude hasn’t aged in 20 years.
Paul Rudd is so chill ❤ he has such such a calm, soothing voice
Such a great actor. His role in "Wet Hot" is one of the most amazing comedic performances ever put on film.
He’s got great range.
Consistently awesome in everything he’s in, even his performance in Perks of Being a Wallflower is impressive.
yes! forgot about that
I am so happy to hear him say he loves every single part of Wet Hot American Summer, bc i've shown a lot of people that movie and they just don't get some of it, and I think it's perfect
Story of my life
the fact that role models was not one of the films mentioned is an absolute upset
Tane better be in this. Absolutely iconic and multi-faceted performance which, I can definitely get into.
This is the best break down I've seen an actor do! Love that he shares those favorite scenes and gives his perspective on them.
Would’ve love to hear him talk about The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Fundamentals of Caring.
It's a deeper cut I suppose, but Wanderlust is one of my favorite comedies of all-time, easily. His monologue in the bathroom mirror could have me laughing on my deathbed.
Omg yes!!!!!!!!!!
@@jessicagentry5338 But that whole movie is just gold I think. Anything by David Wain is just 😂🤣
@Peavey311 I'm gonna pop off a piece of my diiyukk!
Leslie and Paul are one of my favorite comedy movie couples
he's very detailed in his analysis, you can tell he's not phoning in this interview. i love PR.
Never realized how ASMR'y Paul Rudd's voice really is...
Rudd is part of the holy trinity of kindest men alive, alongside Keanu Reeves and Tom Hanks.
I Love You Man and Forgetting Sarah Marshall are two of my favourite comedy’s ever. They’re so re watchable and hilarious.
His performance in "knocked up" is highly underrated, he was so good in that!!
So underrated that it got him his own spinoff….lol

I know this ain't a movie but his role as Mike Hannigan Phoebe Buffay's boyfriend/husband in Friends is iconic.
Wish you’d spoken about some other kinds of movies he’s been in other than the judd apatow-esque ones… perks of being a wallflower and the fundamentals of caring are some of my favourite performances by him, would’ve loved to hear him talk about those ❤️
I really enjoyed Fundamentals of Caring. Good movie.
I stumbled across Fundamentals of Caring years ago (had never heard of it prior to just randomly seeing it while scrolling through Netflix) and I legit LOVED it. I've recommended it to a lot of people
Bro fundamentals of caring is a great movie wish he talked about that one
romeo and juliet. it was a bit part but still.
Bobby Newport is still one of my favorite characters ever. “Ah fff- it’s not padded!” 😂
BOBBY Newport. BAHHBBY NEWPORT.
@@sheilarainey2136 “alright, now we’re just wasting time, Jerry.” 😂
I loved Anchorman 1(2004). Such a good movie
First movie I watched after smoking weed for the first time
@@GregMuniz7 😂😂😂😂
@@GregMuniz7 really good choice
the movies kind of a big deal
I remember it came out the same summer as Dodgeball. What a time to be alive.
He's so the same in everything but gets away with it because he's great at what he does, and he's so charismatic.
My favorite line by Paul Rudd is "the weather outside is weather." Say it all the time.
Me and Paul Rudd movies is my happy place, he’s basically been in all of my favourite movies.
Paul Rudd is totally a crush for me. He is such an amazing comedian and so fearless about it! Love ya Paul
He is so funny and charming and interesting and seems so kind and genuine that you almost forget how handsome he is - but lord, he really is. I'm in my late 40's and I've basically had a crush on him for like 3 decades.
Wet Hot American Summer is one of my all time favorites. And his role of Andy - omg so good. I love that cast so much for coming back together not once, but twice after to create a prequel series and the 10 yrs later series. Phenomenal crowd. ❤❤❤❤❤
That whole interview could have been Paul Rudd just talking about Wet Hot American Summer and I would have gladly watched every second.
Puke
One of my fave '.... breaks down His/Her Most Iconic Characters'........so many cool stories and really truthful and down to earth.
i wanna see 10 things Paul Rudd can't live without so i can finally see his skincare routine
i love him. this is 40 is such a good comfort movie
One of my favorites of his roles is when he played Crap Bag in friends
How is it that this guy NEVER ages??? Love him!!
He's like Andrew Garfield because both actors we're just pretending to be younger while playing Spider-Man & Ant-Man.
@@christiankurtbertumen9203 Agreed, but I was commenting on his physical appearance.
His career is so interesting, I’d wish he’d be given to do some more drama. He’s just an amazing person and celebrity. Great personality.
I never really think of Paul as the guy I go to see... but he's in most of my favorite movies, including every one here which are all great. I now realize I am, in fact, going to see Paul.
Exactly how I see him
I really like Paul Rudd, he seems like a great guy. I hadn't seen it in so long, I never realized that he was the guy in Clueless. I wish he would have talked about being Mike in Friends. The first so many movies he speaks about are ones that my wife and I watched many times together and they are special to me. She passed suddenly at the end of 2020 ( You don't need to say you're sorry or anything, it's cool). I'm surprisingly upbeat for someone who lost their soul-mate and will be alone until they die. Watching the films we used to like together makes me happy, and so does this video, Laura would have liked it I know.
Overnight Delivery is one of my favorite Paul Rudd movies. That film is SO slept on! Paul is a lovable gem, as always! 💛
I love Paul Rudd, man. I just wish this had been another 3 or 4 hours longer.
How do you not mention Friends? Literally one of the most iconic sit coms and he gave crapbag!
I don’t know why “slapping the bass” endures 😂 but it is really one of those fun things to say, and definitely the first thing I would wanna call out to Paul Rudd if I were ever to stumble upon him.
I absolutely love Paul Rudd he's such a great actor love him in every movie he's in can't believe how good this man still looks for he's age
The most heartwarming GQ video of all time! Now I have to go back and re-watch all of these hilarious movies again.
GQ, whover your audio engineer is, give them a raise! i felt like Paul was inside my ear.
I love Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, I feel like comedic actors should get more recognition as good comedy is so hard to do.
Watching this makes me realize Paul has not been in a single bad movie
Paul is awesome. Would definitely buy him a beer next time he’s in Western Australia👊🏻😁🇦🇺🍻🍻🍻
I live in Western Australia buy me a beer instead 😂
Yeah Nah Yeah
What's living in Western Australia like?
I live in Australia 🇦🇺
That waxing scene was one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever watched. Kelly Clarkson!
Like many women my age I fell in love with Paul in Clueless and he's still one of my fave actors to this day.
Idk why Paul rudd always cracks me up with things that don’t make sense
Like in knocked up
“Can you babysit?”
“Yeah we can watch taxi cab confessions”
Or in Sarah Marshall
“You remember me ?”
“Yeah you’re that guy who works at Kaiser Permenente “
How did you leave out Mac and Me? Oscar worthy performance
The sound was unbelievable on this...Paul's voice seemed close mic'd, kudos to the boom guy I guess!
Paul Rudd talking about how iconic all the actors he’s worked with is such a Paul Rudd thing to do and it’s one of the reasons we all love him.
Whatever Judd paid Rudd to play his own life through the directorial lense was not nearly enough, I'm certain. I'm older now and realize how weird yet creatively significant that was. Hat's off to Paul.
I love this, could watch it a million times. So chill, and enjoyable how he retells the story prior to & then following the clips.
I'm shocked he didn't mention Our Idiot Brother, my favorite of his. Rudd turns naive goodwill into a superpower. Clever and sweet.
Loved this man since friends, he is one of my fav! I will watch anything with him in it. Underated treasure fundamental of caring and I would have loved to hear him talk about it
Would love to see a part 2!!
Paul Rudd is my favorite actor that I haven’t seen in basically anything
No one hates this man my god his likability.
"No I don't hate you, I hate Judd" is the most real thing I've ever heard
Yeah, don't you love hating your husband?
Paul has so many great movies, I've seen every single one of these and I could mention like 20 more.
One movie with him that I LOVE and wasn't on that list is Role Models. I laugh so much watching it.
Yo Role Models needs MICH more love that movie slaps
This whole interview should have just been the Mac and Me clip.
He's just so kind and down to earth! Love him!
Fundamentals of Caring is an incredibly underrated movie as well
They missed his role as Tommy Doyle in Halloween The Curse Of Michael Myers he was the actor that franchise didn’t deserve but the role that franchise needed
You are absolutely right
I love the curse of michael myers my favorite Halloween movie its awesome that he was in a Halloween movie ant man vs michael myers
Just need that actor in that franchise
*You forgot 'The Shape of Things' with Paul Rudd and Rachel Weisz!*
I still can't get over how that movie ended!😮
"means chuck" always get's me hahahaha
I just love Paul Rudd!
Highlight of my week. I think I smiled for 25 minutes straight
