Paul Rudd Reacts To NSFW Compliment In Chaotic Podcast Moment

Paul Rudd is used to being the internet’s favorite nice guy, but even he seemed momentarily stunned when a comedian flat-out told him he has a “huge pen-s” during a bizarre new interview. The “Ant-Man” star’s latest viral moment came last week when he returned to “Take Your Shoes Off w/ Rick Glassman” and looked back on his previous appearance, an episode he admitted he still hasn’t watched because it was “traumatic.” During that initial July 2025 sit-down, Rudd, Glassman, and guest Michael Cera leaned fully into a chaotic bit involving “hot” coffee being spilled on Rudd, which ultimately led to the “Friends” alum “soiling [him]self” and removing his pants. And while the stunt already made the rounds online, Rick Glassman decided to revisit the moment in a way Paul Rudd clearly didn’t see coming.

Looking back on the viral footage, Glassman bluntly told the actor, “You have a huge pen-s. You do. You have a huge pen-s.”

Rudd didn’t immediately respond. Instead, he stayed silent, shrugged, glanced at the camera, and grimaced, appearing caught between embarrassment and disbelief.

Glassman then explained he “blurred” the footage of Rudd’s “accident” from last year, adding, “If showing the poop takes you down two points, showing the pen-s raises four. So I thought, you’re coming out ahead. A big head.”

Rudd, laughing as he tried to keep up with the chaos, asked, “Two steps back and four steps forward?”

When Glassman shot back, “Foreskin forward,” the “Clueless” star gave him credit, calling the joke “well done.”

Still, Rudd appeared genuinely surprised by the entire premise. “I didn’t realize that you even saw my pen-s,” he said, only for Glassman to fire right back, “It was hard. It was soft to miss. It was hard to miss even when it’s soft.”

Rudd thanked the comedian, then pivoted to another long-running Hollywood rumor, confirming he doesn’t know whether it’s true that “Liam Neeson has a huge c-ck that people talk about.”

From there, the conversation only got stranger, with Glassman pressing, “Do you feel like people don’t know how big your pen-s is?”

The Emmy nominee didn’t exactly lean into the brag, instead explaining that he’s “never been naked in a movie” because he’s a “fairly private person” who doesn’t “want to be just wagging [his] d-ck all over the place” like Harvey Keitel in "The Piano.'”

As expected, the wild exchange quickly sparked reactions online, with YouTube users praising Rudd for rolling with the awkward moment. "Paul Rudd has to be the most game-for-anything person on the planet," one user wrote as another chimed in, "If there's one thing I've learned from the Paul Rudd saga, it's that Paul Rudd is the type of man who likes to honor his commitments."

While that Glassman moment had Rudd going viral for all the wrong reasons, it’s not the only time he’s found himself trapped in a long-running bit, because over in Conan O’Brien’s world, Rudd has been pulling the same prank for more than two decades.

For anyone who needs a refresher, Rudd has made a tradition out of appearing on O’Brien’s shows to promote a project, only to trick the host with the same ridiculous clip from "Mac and Me," the 1988 sci-fi film. The prank famously dates back to February 2004, when Rudd teased what O’Brien believed would be an exclusive look at the "Friends" finale, only for the host to be hit with the now-iconic footage of "Mac and Me"’s Eric tumbling off a cliff in a wheelchair instead.

Rudd pulled the stunt again at the end of 2025 on "Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend" while promoting "Anaconda," though O’Brien joked the actor didn’t bring his usual commitment to the bit.

“This is the least you’ve tried ever,” O’Brien responded. “Is there part of you that just hates yourself when you’re doing the fake setup now?” Rudd didn’t deny it, responding, “Are you kidding me? Absolutely. Hate it when I set it up. Hate it when I’m sitting watching.”

Still, O’Brien made it clear he never wants the prank to die, even if he does.

Rudd is heading into 2026 with surprisingly wholesome priorities, and they involve a serious deep clean. In an interview with PEOPLE about New Year’s resolutions, the 56-year-old actor revealed he’s planning to tackle his closet, insisting organization is genuinely his thing. “You got to keep that thing sparkling,” Rudd said, before adding, “I will probably do my closet. By the way, I'm a big fan of cleaning.”

And he wasn’t kidding. The “Ant-Man” star even nerded out over his go-to tool for staying on top of it all, sharing that he’s a devoted user of a “Brother P-Touch label maker,” which he’s used while organizing his attic.

Rudd explained that his storage system is next-level, complete with shelves and clear tubs so everything is visible at a glance. “I built shelves, and all of my storage, I have in tubs that are clear that you can see through them,” he said. “All of my sh-t is so organized, it's a little OCD… If I'm in the middle of really tackling a cleaning project, I'm very happy.”

Basically, while some people are manifesting wealth or swearing off sugar in 2026, Rudd is over here living his best life.
