Paul almost sociopathically making up all of that info either on the spot or in preparation is the funniest thing about this specific version of the bit

[JBGIE]

The fact that Paul Rudd can go on for two and a half minutes, acting like he's presenting a new project, all without even smirking is super impressive

[brianmorton]

“Was there any truth to any of the setup?” “No.” Kills me every time.

[flmbyz]

Conan’s exclamation “Oh, for Christ’s sake” as soon as the clip starts is so perfect!

[mitchellwolstein]

The best part is Paul Rudd has NEVER laughed, smiled, hasn't even cracked a little smirk any of those times.... FOR 18 YEARS. Since 2004. In the first one, he's plugging the final season of Friends. Think about that commitment.

[nicopillay]

Honestly. Paul consistently doing this to Conan kind of proves how much he'd rather make Conan audiences laugh than plug his work.

[RobinDale]

This will never end. Paul Rudd will give the eulogy at Conan's funeral, and play a "video package tribute" and it will be that damn clip. Then he will follow him to Heaven and play it there too.

[watchthesecondhand]

EIGHTEEN years. 18 years of this. I just love how committed Paul is to it.

[JimJonesKoolaid]

The fact that he came up with the “Beignet, done that” joke just for the setup has me rolling.

[JohnnyDeppLoveSickne]

The fact that his staff are also in on it every time really gets me too

[librariangmr]

Paul’s definitive “No” when asked if his project real is incredible delivery

[abhassingh]

If Paul doesn't play this clip at Conan's funeral we riot.

[gilbertodepiento]

The funniest thing in this bit lasting years, is the fact that Paul explains & presents it so honestly & truthfully, that it's hard to break through. Also after the video, the explanation part is also hilarious. Love them together.

[stephendexheimer]

This might be the best Mac & Me prank Paul has pulled 😂, the fact that the project he was pitching sounded so real and Conan genuinely believed it is just brilliant, bravo Paul

[MrJayehawk]

"the sounds of that wheelchair going over the cliff" and then Conan laughs maniacally.
Fantastic.

[mccards]

The depth and idle monotony of the set up, the ability to lose the listener just enough with shop details to really set the hooks in deep. Gold.

[JithinJacob]

I was listening to this episode while working and so when Rudd was mentioning this 'project, ' it seemed boring so I wasn't paying much attention to it but the moment the clip played and I heard the squeak of the wheelchair, I knew what he'd done and I burst out laughing! Well played, Rudd. Well played.

[bradley]

As soon as I heard Paul say "I brought a clip", I lost it😂. Brilliant set-up and execution, as always.

[TheZizamie]

My favorite part is that last laugh where Conan jokingly says he would recognize that music anywhere, before realizing he now actually can recognize the sound of a wheelchair falling off a cliff

[miles]

Conan realizing what’s happening and saying “oh for Christ’s sake” always makes me die laughing
