Comedy Bang! Bang! Season 1 Episode 6 Paul Rudd Wears a Red Lumberjack Flannel Shirt

Paul Rudd is a well-known actor in Hollywood, and in this episode of Comedy Bang! Bang!, he wears a red lumberjack flannel shirt as he joins host Scott Aukerman for some hilarious comedy sketches. Throughout the episode, Aukerman and Rudd play off each other's sense of humor, delivering plenty of goofball gags and absurd jokes.

The episode opens with an unusual cold open wherein Aukerman is being interviewed by a TV news anchor on a studio-set background. Aukerman is initially flustered by the lack of a script and begins to ad-lib his responses, before eventually becoming more confident and over-the-top with his answers as the segment wears on. This opening vignette sets the tone for the absurd humor that will follow throughout the episode.

In the first sketch, Aukerman and his co-host, Reggie Watts, play two rival ice cream truck drivers who are trying to outsell each other. Things quickly get ridiculous as the two use their trucks in increasingly outlandish ways to try to one-up each other, including using them to play basketball and go-go dance.

Next up is a segment in which Aukerman interviews Rudd, who is decked out in his red lumberjack flannel shirt. Through the course of their conversation, we learn some odd bits of trivia about Rudd, including that he played “The Hills” villain Spencer Pratt in a Lifetime movie and that he once had a fruit basket named after him. Rudd also hilariously squirms as Aukerman brings up some of Rudd’s more embarrassing moments from his past.

In another sketch, Aukerman and Watts are camping in the wilderness when they stumble upon a mysterious red button in the woods. As they debate whether to push the button, various bizarre characters – including a talking eagle and a man wearing a giant pumpkin head – appear to give them conflicting advice. Will they push the button and see what happens? You’ll have to watch the episode to find out.

Throughout the episode, there are also several interstitial bits that showcase Rudd’s comedic talents. In one, he performs a hilarious monologue about the various names that people have given to their pets, including a cat named Licorice who has a penchant for knocking over glasses of water. In another, he plays a game of “Would You Rather?” with Aukerman, in which they speculate on the hypotheticals.

One of the standout moments of the episode comes towards the end, when Aukerman and Watts perform a musical number about the joys of drinking water. Yes, you read that right – they sing and dance their way through a hilarious ode to hydration, complete with a tap-dancing interlude.

Overall, “Paul Rudd Wears a Red Lumberjack Flannel Shirt” is a delightful episode of Comedy Bang! Bang! that showcases both Aukerman’s and Rudd’s comedic prowess.
