Paul Rudd trolls Conan with a 'clip' from his latest show and no, the joke won't ever get old
There are some jokes that get old quickly, while others get progressively funnier with each retelling.
For everyone except Conan O'Brien, Paul Rudd's Mac and Me joke falls firmly into the latter category.
In a nutshell, for the past 15 years, Rudd has been showing the same exact same clip from a 1988 alien adventure movie — which has stunningly low ratings on both IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes – whenever Conan asks to see a glimpse of the latest thing he's working on.
