Watch Paul Rudd And Adam Scott's Hilarious Homage To 'Bosom Buddies'
It doesn't get much better than this. Adam Scott and Paul Rudd recreated (scene-for-scene!) the opening credits to '80s sitcom Bosom Buddies—and it was amazing.
You'll soon see why we got so giddy watching this.
Adult Swim aired the last of four installments of Scott's Greatest Event in Television History series on Thursday night, which featured his take on Bosom Buddies. In the recreation, we get to see Rudd and Scott portray the roles originally played by Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari, respectively. In case you missed out on the original, the ABC sitcom followed two dudes who dressed up as women to get a cheap apartment at an all-women's building. (Sure, rent is pricey, so why not?) Although they hardly look like women, they manage to convince folks they are.
The opening credits feature the two buddies horsing around, getting into hijinks, and wearing nighties. What's even better is the behind-the-scenes look at the making of this recreation, with plenty of cameos from Hanks, Billy Joel, Community's Gillian Jacobs, Mo Collins, Aisha Muharrar, Helen Slayton-Hughes and Saturday Night Live's Aidy Bryant. Also, it portrays Rudd as a hilariously classic douchebag.
If you don't have time to watch the entire making-of special, speed through to the 9:20-minute mark to check out the remake:
Also, Vulture put together, side-by-side, the original opening credits with the recreation. It's uncanny how Rudd and Scott have seriously matched up each frame perfectly:
