Now Paul Rudd Is Playing with Power (Super Power)
There are few things in life as satisfying as watching the old, shitty acting work of people who are now celebrities. Like this commercial for the Super Nintendo, starring the 1991-iest version of Paul Rudd you’ve ever seen. Look how happy he is to be playing the SNES in an abandoned drive-in movie theater! Or maybe he’s just happy that the mob that’s forming just wants to watch him play F-Zero and not beat him to death and take his Super Nintendo.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
