Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd’s outrageous teenie weenie beanies skit on The Tonight Show had everyone rolling in the aisles! Whoever would have thought that a jam on a kid’s keyboard about the fashionably tiny beanies could be such a bop? Rudd kicked off the song over a Casio bass groove and dropped a smooth flow about his favorite headgear, and I’ve never heard anyone sound quite so passionate about the subject before.
Fallon was up next and his rhymes were just as lit while he channeled some Vanilla Ice vibes, because of course beanies are just the right solution to some ice ice baby, right? The teenie beanies jam is maybe the most ridiculous song ever written, but there’s just something about it that will make you crack a smile from beginning to end. The Music Man has to say that Fallon and Rudd make a helluva comedy duo, and this cozy jam is def going down in hip hop history!
Viewers found the teenie weenie beanies skit a hoot and tuned in 2.2 million times. Fans were sold on the raw dance moves and facial expressions and added comments such as “This is hilarious! Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon are such a fun duo. Love them – this is such a bop” and “Pure joy! My face hurts from smiling so hard. Here I go to watch again!”
With Fallon and Rudd dropping such big league comedy chemistry, it’s no surprise that they’ve gone viral before with their hijinks on The Tonight Show. The dynamic duo showed off their ‘80s synthpop credentials with an outlandish recreation of the music video for Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record).” With how much fun the boys are having together in this clip, it’s impossible not to crack up. Also, it just goes to show what a banger that song is, because it’s still catchy even as a parody!
Fallon and Rudd’s collab on “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” is their most popular musical skit to date, with the ‘80s throwback drawing 11 million views on YouTube. Fallon and Rudd also teamed up for a parody clip on Styx’s “Too Much Time on My Hands,” and the clip for that 1981 rocker was just begging for a remake by the two tricksters. Their other collab is their take on the music video for Go West’s 1990 pop hit “King of Wishful Thinking.” Clearly, the boys have a love for the vibes of the ‘80s and early ‘90s, and The Music Man is certainly here for that!
