The Paul Rudd online renaissance has manifested itself in meme form

Paul Rudd has become the internet’s sweetheart thanks to a charming interview on Hot Ones, a web series in which guests are interviewed by host Sean Evans over a platter of increasingly spicy chicken wings.

The Friends and Avengers star spoke about a variety of topics, the highlight of which was demonstrating is trick to make celebrities look like they're in a room a naked person when he takes their photo. A proper dinner party talent.

One part of the interview has since reached memehood.

Towards the end the 50-going-on-25-year-old actor put a bit of each of the hot sauces on his cauliflower wing, and as he got ready to chomp down on what might put him “in the hospital” the star says, “Look at us. Hey, look at us".

And a meme was born.
