But, as many have pointed out, the man is talented and manages to come across well in nearly every role he has ever played.

Brian Fantana: [about Veronica] I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up.
[opens cologne cabinet]
Ron Burgundy: Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight.
Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good.
Ron Burgundy: It's quite pungent.
Brian Fantana: Oh yeah.
Ron Burgundy: It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way.
Brian Fantana: Yep.
Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.
Brian Fantana: They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
[cheesy grin]
Ron Burgundy: That doesn't make sense.
Brian Fantana: Well... Let's go see if we can make this little kitty purr.

I voted "Other" for Overnight Delivery. I just watched it again on cable the other day. Great comic performance by Rudd and Reese Witherspoon is terrific in this, too.

Maybe not the best but I thought he was ok in Tejing xinrenlei 2 or Gen-Y Cops (the imported dvd from HK). (a blonde Paul Rudd in a Hong Kong Action blockbuster)

Does he have as big a role as Dane Cook did in Michelle Yeoh's The Touch?

He's in a good amount in Gen-Y Cops. He plays an FBI agent in the movie.

(This movie aired in the U.S. as "Jackie Chan Presents: Metal Mayhem" which is edited and dubbed entirely in English. I own the unedited original Hong Kong version with english subtitles and Cantonese soundtrack.)

Here's an article about Paul in Gen-Y Cops: http://www.angelfire.com/ns/paulrudd/article3.html

however the play was even better IMO. Which I saw him in on Broadway in - he was a chair away from me, in one of the scenes where his character sits in the audience - ever notice one of his ears is shaped all weird like.

I'd say Wet Hot American Summer but for pure comedy Walk Hard might top it

Not his strongest role. However, there are other reasons to watch that flick...
