Paul Rudd is Finally Getting the Recognition He Deserves

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter.

In a recent episode of First We Feast’s “Hot Ones” on YouTube, famous actor Paul Rudd has regained the spotlight he so rightly deserves as the star of a new meme on social media. “Hot Ones” is a talk-show where host, Sean Evans, asks celebrities interview questions as they dig into hot wings that get hotter as the interview progresses. As Rudd is eating cauliflower, swapping out normal wings in an effort to eat less meat, he accidentally memes himself.

 

Rudd says with an overjoyed look on his face, “Look at us, hey, look at us.”

Host Sean Evans replies sarcastically, “Look at us…Who would have thought?”

“Not me,” Rudd says with delight.

 

Although this was just a normal, everyday interaction, the internet made it into a meme that could be used as a reaction for many different scenarios. Due to this meme, Rudd has fallen back onto the main stage which is totally warranted. I have been a huge Paul Rudd fan (or stan, because let’s be real) for as long as I can remember, and I am glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves for how ridiculously funny he is. 

Even though we are HERE FOR Paul Rudd getting this acknowledgement, I wish it was for reasons such as the brilliant art he makes. So, without further ado, here are all the Paul Rudd movies you need to see for even more memeable content. Enjoy!

1.     Clueless

2.     Wet Hot American Summer

3.     Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp

4.     Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

5.     The Perks of Being a Wallflower
