04.14.09 PAUL RUDD ON SESAME STREET, STILL LIKABLE
In a recent Sesame Street special, Elmo turned green, and as so often happens, Paul Rudd showed up to sing a song about how being green is cool because it helps the environment. Being Paul Rudd, he managed to do it without seeming needy or hopelessly self-indulgent in a Hugh Jackman, please-watch-me-sing-and-dance, I’m-desperate-for-attention kind of way, and even talked about the environment without sounding like a condescending jackass. His guest spot went much better than Sean Penn’s, who stubbed out a cigarette on Oscar’s face and called Miss Piggy a “bourgeois c*cksucker.” (more clips after the jump)

And just for fun, here’s some puppets singing about how Jesus loves you, even if you’re a racial stereotype. Thanks to Burnsy and RoboPanda for the tips.

PAUL RUDD ON SESAME STREET, STILL LIKABLE
serious
I saw ‘I Love You, Man’ last night and honestly think that if the character of Pete Klaven were played by anybody other than Rudd, he would have either come across as too effeminate to be likeable or so overly awkward that the jokes that involved him being awkward would have been groan-inducingly terrible.
/serious.
That movie would’ve been absolute shit with anyone but Segel and Rudd. It would’ve been Heartbreak Kid or Shallow Hal.
Paul then turned to Bert and Ernie and said, “You know how I know you’re gay?”
Elmo turned green? I told that fucker not to smoke weed when he was drunk.
Man, Rudd has really put on a lot of weight. I think this role was originally intended for Jonah Hill.
They don’t hold a candle to Lewis Smith and Jason Gedrick in The Heavenly Kid.
Paul: Have you ever seen a planet dance before?
Elmo: Every time I go out with Jonah Hill. HAHHAHAHAHA
Paul: Hey, not cool man.
The white puppets have no rhythm.
Paul Rudd: Hey man, stop polluting.
Oscar: Bitch, I live in a fucking trashcan!
Paul: Hey, Elmo, have you ever heard the expression going “around the world”?
Elmo: Are you coming on to me, man?
Looks like Elmo’s getting ready for mating season.
Paul Rudd: “I’m the best actor in the world.”
I’m still waiting for them to rewrite “It’s Not Easy Being Green” as a treehuggers’ anthem, at which time we can generate clean energy by powering turbines with Jim Henson spinning in his grave.
You guys know how Miss piggy called Kermit “Kermy”? The Mighty Feklahr often wondered if it was actually supposed to be faux-French with the “T” on the end being silent.
…
DOR SHO GHA! GRRR…LET THEM SURRENDER MONKEYS EAT FREEDOM FRIES!!!
[Paul Rudd opens garbage can to throw away apple core]
Paul: Oh shit, Casey Affleck! I haven’t seen you since we did 200 Cigarettes. Are you playing Oscar the Grouch or something?
Casey: No, I live in here.
Not shown? Ted Nugent bow hunting Aloysius Snuffleupagus. Hunt your own food Kids!
Who wants to visit the South Pole!
Paul took a dump while wearing that and named the poo “Larsen Ice Shelf”.
Neither of his hemispheres were working properly when he accepted this role.
He thinks he knows what he’s saying, but he’s really just talking out of his Australia.
