“It just now, for lack of a better phrase, has legs. “I enjoy it because it’s just so dumb and it means nothing,” continued Rudd. The actor added that he has since worked with Apatow, who has become more accepting of the Mac and Me joke. “I just feel so gross telling anybody to see this,” Rudd said of promoting his films.
“It was the one time I think I actually showed a real clip on your show.” “There was also another time where he came and stopped it,” said Rudd of Apatow. While the director asked Rudd to not show the Mac and Me clip, he still went ahead and kept the tradition alive.
The host then reminisced about a time Rudd appeared on the show to promote Judd Apatow’s This Is 40. “This is the first time that we even addressed it,” the actor added. One fan even made a mashup of the clips from the many times Rudd has pulled the gag, which O’Brien noted “means nothing” and that there’s not point behind it. O’Brien said that fans have come to expect Rudd’s Mac and Me bit every time he appears on Conan. This being the 80s, I get the impression that the creators of this movie really liked Fame, Breakin’, Footloose, Flashdance, etc. Picture a giant McDonalds full of extras dancing in every corner of the place, and filling the parking lot. “I assume the budget was so low that there was this one maniacal laugh that the kid makes and every time in the movie, they just use the same laugh. Now here’s where we get to the most laughable scene of Mac and Me. This team of thugs are trying to track him down, trying to get this baby, and then they cut to the baby fighting a group of men and it’s clearly a stunt little person just beating up these guys,” he explained. “There’s a scene where a baby - I want to say they have this super baby in a lab, I don’t know - and he escapes.
