@@Baff0000 its a clip from Mac and Me - a rip off of E.T. Every single time Paul Rudd comes on Conans show with a clip - he plays that scene instead of whatever he was supposed to show.
Baff0000 For many, many years, Paul Rudd has been going on Conan and claiming he brought a clip from whatever he’s promoting. He, instead, plays this same clip from a terrible 1988 dumpster fire of a movie called Mac and Me.
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the fact that he had someone digitally add another Mac just for this gag. The dedication to the bit is inspiring.
AND this is a new HD transfer. They went out and got a better version of the original clip. Previous ones looked like dirty VHS tapes from that one weird family friend that archived and recorded everything and had walls of hand labeled VHS tapes.
@@grimmcrag8715 It's probably more so Conans reaction and Rudds non-reaction that keeps it funny. Than the joke itself, if conan wasn't a good host this joke would have died years ago, but he knows how to react. Conan pretends to get more insane about it - not in a bad way, bu he has been fooled many times - and while conan gets annoyed rudd acts like nothings happened. Plus every so often rudd adds stuff to it.
@@porkypinehdproductions the ant Man one where they went pretty seamlessly from an actual scene from the film he's meant to be promoting to the boy in the wheel chair was particularly good.

Yeah....it's true though...😂😂😂 I listen to Conan O'Brien podcast also....and so many other celebrities/ comedian told him that his show is the only place where they can go crazy...😂😂🤣 Conan allows everything. This is why it's so funny and he is a great comedian... Will Farrel told him that too...😍😂🤣

@@evancain4906 yup! The alien drinks Coca Cola on his home planet... that’s what sustains him/his family. Yes, there are more. And, they eat McDonald’s at every meal.

Paul Rudd and a clip... If you don’t know that title’s a lie, congrats, this is your first time watching Paul Rudd on Conan. Either that, or you ARE Conan O’Brian.
As the life leaves Conan's body every time Rudd plays a prank on him, Rudd feeds off Conan's diminishing soul and that is what keeps him youthful. He's been reversing the ageing process since at least 2004 when he first played this prank

I think it gets better on every repeat. I like knew it was coming even before watching this clip and yet, this is the hardest I've ever laughed about this. My stomach hurts.
On the last ever episode of Conan, Paul Rudd should swing by and say "I'm really proud of the work you've done your entire career and I love you and to show you how much I love you I brought a clip that's a montage of your best moments from when late night started until now,"...and then it has to be the clip of Mac and Me. And the second time when Conan asks to play the real clip it has to be Mac and me again one last time.
What an incredible new concept! I thought at first it might completely bomb, but oh boy was I shocked?! The storyline is beautifully written and executed.
@@SpicyPotatoe Untrue. The only time he didn't show the clip on Tonight Show with Conan/Late Night with Conan/Conan is when Judd Apatow physically flew over to the studio Conan is filmed in, and made sure that Rudd didn't use a different clip than his film that was being promoted, Knocked Up. Other than that one instance, Rudd has always brought the Mac and Me clip, even when he was promoting Ant-Man.
I love how the last line of fading audio is Conan just saying "that was hilarious!" while shaking Paul Rudd's hand. He's right, the guy is so damn entertaining even his talk show appearances have meta jokes.
YES!!! I was going to say this exact thing! When he is on Conan (and Jimmy Fallon), he gets to be the genuine guy he is and not shill himself out for the marketing of a project. People should really watch the Hot Ones interview. Also, watch Living With Your Self, it's a great show !
You can really tell how much that gag meant to Conan. Both Paul and Conans careers have really taken off since their first interview (they were big then, just bigger now) and being back on his show, running the gag from however many years ago (a gag that no host other than Conan would probably let fly), really just helps frame how much time and dedication they’ve put into their fields. Conan looked genuinely happy afterwards.
i purposely didn't look at the comments up until i finished it so that i can fully savor the moment when it comes and not be "spoiled" hehehehe i love this
You should always watch a video before looking at the comments of that video. I've read so many times different variations of people reading comments before or during a video and it just doesn't make sense to me that anyone would do this. Why?
its because of the bit paul rudd was going to do bud that's why i made the comment. If it makes you feel any better i don't scroll in the comments when watching videos here on youtube.
I just found out about this running joke... and I love Conan's response to it... EVERY TIME. Makes me laugh so hard to see his reaction to being shown that clip... AGAIN.
I just want to thank Conan, Sona, Andy and THE ENTIRE CREW AND TEAM of this show for booking this absolute gem of a man. I needed a laugh and I got it.
@@MrKG204 True but that was mostly just a set up to convince people that he had a real clip. It was even better that time since it started as an actual Ant-Man clip before cutting to Mac and Me.

This will never not be funny. I don’t think I’ll ever grow tired of this.
The more he does it the funnier it gets.
I like to think when Paul Rudd is cast in anything now his mind instantly starts working towards his inevitable playing of this clip on Conan
That's why it was only 8 episodes, he's going for the shorter work to get on Conan more.
Pity Disney doesn't let him do this.
@@MrLionniol he did it during the promotional tour for antman, disney definitely let him do it.

I think it gets better on every repeat. I like knew it was coming even before watching this clip and yet, this is the hardest I've ever laughed about this. My stomach hurts.
I love how Conan says, "there's two of them", and then immediately realize how dumb the joke really is. Pure genius.
On the last ever episode of Conan, Paul Rudd should swing by and say "I'm really proud of the work you've done your entire career and I love you and to show you how much I love you I brought a clip that's a montage of your best moments from when late night started until now,"...and then it has to be the clip of Mac and Me. And the second time when Conan asks to play the real clip it has to be Mac and me again one last time.
Prescient!
Well, what happened last night was close enough.
You're a prophet
What an incredible new concept! I thought at first it might completely bomb, but oh boy was I shocked?! The storyline is beautifully written and executed.
I can't believe that Rudd went to the trouble of adding a CGI second Mac.
Haha I didn't get that until I read your comment.
it's most likely Conan's staff that does it
Who’s Joe?
Loki: “Are you ever not going to fall for that?”
I would have been furious if he DIDN’T show that clip after all these years.
He doesn't show it every now and then which is great because then we never know when to expect it
@@SpicyPotatoe Untrue. The only time he didn't show the clip on Tonight Show with Conan/Late Night with Conan/Conan is when Judd Apatow physically flew over to the studio Conan is filmed in, and made sure that Rudd didn't use a different clip than his film that was being promoted, Knocked Up. Other than that one instance, Rudd has always brought the Mac and Me clip, even when he was promoting Ant-Man.
imagine when paul rudd actually showed a real clip, everyone on the studio would be disappointed instead
I love how the last line of fading audio is Conan just saying "that was hilarious!" while shaking Paul Rudd's hand. He's right, the guy is so damn entertaining even his talk show appearances have meta jokes.
When he said “...through the forest” I died. And then when there was a clone of Mac, I died again. Or my clone did.
I knew exactly what was coming and I still laughed my ass off.
I know right LOL if you look at Conans face before the clip shows he knew Paul was lying 😂😂😂
After seeing the Hot Ones interview him doing this makes so much sense lol
YES!!! I was going to say this exact thing! When he is on Conan (and Jimmy Fallon), he gets to be the genuine guy he is and not shill himself out for the marketing of a project. People should really watch the Hot Ones interview. Also, watch Living With Your Self, it's a great show !
Listen to Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend Podcast episode with Paul Rudd. They touch on the Mac and Me prank hahahah
Link?????
What did they say?
You can really tell how much that gag meant to Conan. Both Paul and Conans careers have really taken off since their first interview (they were big then, just bigger now) and being back on his show, running the gag from however many years ago (a gag that no host other than Conan would probably let fly), really just helps frame how much time and dedication they’ve put into their fields. Conan looked genuinely happy afterwards.
Compared to the other Marvel actors, he seems so unaffected by that prestige.
Very true! I can watch him in anything, but if I see RDJ in another movie I’m like “Oh, Tony Stark is a lawyer now!” 😂
Like, he's the most based actor from the MCU from what I've seen.
There's a comfort knowing that some things will never change.
True 😂😂😂
i purposely didn't look at the comments up until i finished it so that i can fully savor the moment when it comes and not be "spoiled" hehehehe i love this
You should always watch a video before looking at the comments of that video. I've read so many times different variations of people reading comments before or during a video and it just doesn't make sense to me that anyone would do this. Why?
its because of the bit paul rudd was going to do bud that's why i made the comment. If it makes you feel any better i don't scroll in the comments when watching videos here on youtube.
I did the same thing. :) i was watching this in the café and laughed my ass off!
I just found out about this running joke... and I love Conan's response to it... EVERY TIME. Makes me laugh so hard to see his reaction to being shown that clip... AGAIN.
I just want to thank Conan, Sona, Andy and THE ENTIRE CREW AND TEAM of this show for booking this absolute gem of a man.
I needed a laugh and I got it.
It’s so great that he’s never acknowledged what he’s doing in all the years
He did once. When promoting Ant Man
MrKG204 yeah but he mixed in it which made it even funnier😆
@@MrKG204 True but that was mostly just a set up to convince people that he had a real clip. It was even better that time since it started as an actual Ant-Man clip before cutting to Mac and Me.
I almost thought it was gonna be a real clip this time, so glad it wasn’t
Then you are a dumbass who just doesn't get it.
@arruda ur mum
I can’t believe that I fell for it! Oldest gag in talk show history.
Classic Paul Rudd.
This has become a tradition in Conan now.
I knew what clip i was getting and stayed for both clips. It doesnt get old to me
