I don’t care if he hates it; He’ll always be Judge Fudge to me 🧑‍⚖️

[@andreagoodman1636]

I knew him when he was BIG Fudge! 😄

It's fudge supreme I'll have you know.

Supreme Chancellor Fudge

[@aad4186]

Oh shit he did the naked man before HIMYM. Mad respect

[@jalaladhiri6696]

In a way he is the naked man

[@justinvoss7618]

Works 2/3 times.

[@Fightsome64]

Guaranteed

[@deadshotseth1614]

4:55 Legen.... Wait for it.... ....Dary

[@ivanarcheous4731]

He got dumped twice while naked, once irl and once in a movie. By that logic, Fudge Supreme did the naked man 6 times in total 😂😂😂

[@Stewii04]

Hearing him talk so positively about HIMYM is incredible, I would have guessed HIMYM for the cookies line as well

[@RefrigeratedTP]

I honestly thought the motivational line was HIMYM lol. It's just so wholesome it sounds like Marshall.

[@justkashi9481]

@@RefrigeratedTP yeah it sounds ripped straight out of marshall getting frustrated at Ted waiting on "the one" and telling him he deserves more

[@robertcerniglia2616]

apparently he has never actually watched the final episode so his memory of it isn't tainted

[@ElLechero12]

How am I just now finding out Jason Segel is Vector?! How can you not like this man?

[@BlackDiamond2718]

His inflections are what hit me after i daw his name in the opening credits

[@seenyasha3275]

His Marshall from HIMYM is my role model as a man, husband and a father - he is humble, loyal and is always there for his family and his friends.

[@debuthunter5389]

The best actual character on that show. Despite his few softer moments, the dude is a man and a half.

[@user-dl8rt4rt6u]

I'm hoping to meet a guy like Marshall one day. I'm getting older though and running out of hope lol

[@stevenb6756]

The audacity to not put one line from I love you man.. one of the best comedies ever

[@allllysiaaa]

Right!!

[@RonReynolds]

Totally, and it smells like farts!

[@sinnombrenemo4169]

fuck you're right! cuz lets be honest. nobody cares about despicable me, or that muppet movie

[@jsnike91]

“SUCK IT GIL!!”

[@mayavp]

I was also thinking this

[@sidthesloth12]

The fact that Jason Segal and Chris O'Dowd are apparently best friends, warms my heart...those two are in my Top 10 favorite actors. I'll need to see This is 40 now

[@margaretforsey7763]

I didn’t know that they are best friends! I like Jason Segal a lot and I LOVE Chris O’Dowd!so it makes me happy. 🙂💕

[@wendeboyd503]

I watch it at least once a year

[@stanley2681]

He really is one of the unspoken enough about GOATs. Seeing him in Shrinking made me realize and reflect on his catalog. He really is solid and wholesome.

[@bohemiansnitch]

I adore him and Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of the funniest movies in the last 20 years

[@tossefin]

I feel like that movie is soo underrated. It's absolutely hilarious, such great casting too.

[@stevhn]

Agree

[@barbaraarnzen5181]

Totally agree!

[@commaJim]

​@@tossefinit's not underrated lol. People loved that film

[@tossefin]

@@commaJim well in my vicinity it kinda was 😉 didn't hear much about it and most ppl around me haven't seen or heard of it.

[@frankfort464]

I figure playing Marshall was exhausting but I really appreciate your performance, Jason. I’m in a lovely place now but for a while the HIMYM group was my therapy and friend group that got me through my own personal rough times and Marshall shines like a beacon with his friendship above all thanks for giving me a friend like Marshall when I really needed one man :’) I’m so proud to see where your career has landed you and I’m loving ‘shrinking’ as well! Thanks again Jason Respectfully, Huge fan

[@melanie-_]

I completely agree! HIMYM got me through some of my darkest times.

[@SourDeez413]

I’m so happy about what he said about How I Met Your Mother!!! That made my day. Also the fact that he is saying all that stuff about not being your hottest to Megan Fox is hilarious 🤣 🤣

[@martintemelkov]

Jason seems like a lovely person, a very nice guy who can drive you to tears from laughing at his jokes. He's such a treasure!

[@cjohnson6264]

Well he did say from the start that he’s acting so he could be the total opposite

[@danielgoncalves3980]

Not gonna lie, the Bill Haader's "Thats disgusting" made my laugh way harder than i already was

[@Danny-ej9nr]

I wish they still made lighthearted fun to watch films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall

[@martinharvey3247]

I Want You Back, Always Be My Maybe...are a couple in recent years that satisfy.

[@barbaraarnzen5181]

Agree! Love that movie and I'm a picky older movie buff. Very well done movie. He wrote that movie. (You probably know that though.)

[@Lov3lyDay]

One of my favorite movies is Palm Springs, which came out in recent years. It has some darker jokes but I love it and it’s super fun to watch for me

[@TheNat418r]

He's a treasure. Forgetting Sarah Marshall def a top 10 fav movie of mine ❤

[@horrormoviescreamqueen13]

I've loved Jason since his "freaks and geeks" days. And I'm so happy he brought back the Muppets back in 2011, the movie was so good,!

[@vahmatieu]

i love that jason segal loves marshall for all the same reasons the fans like him. also super hyped for season 2 of shrinking

[@GuyDudeman]

How could we forget I Love You, Man

[@amy5519]

Exactly!!

[@mirakimber6333]

I always had a big crush on Jason Segel but when I found out he loved puppets I truly fell in love. So adorable.

[@schuug]

Jason is such an underrated actor. I love pretty much everything he's in and he just seems like a great guy

[@pmal5680]

Have loved Jason throughout the years. Absolutely loved Shrinking

[@gsampson97]

I loved him in HIMYM and a few other things but I've since found out he's actually really big and influential behind the films I like. Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get him to the Greek really needs a third in the trilogy. Get him to the Greek might be in my top 10 all time. Also the 2011 Muppets being so good seems to be a lot to him and the 2nd not being so good was down to him not being involved

[@BrianRussTVC]

Jason just reminds me of my cousin Nick so much. Kinda makes me happy every time I see him, it’s like seeing my cousin. He’s not dead or anything, he just lives in New York and works in finance now… so… I prefer to think of him as Jason Segel.

[@stanley2681]

lmao i dunno why but this is the funniest line ever " he is not dead or anything he just lives in nyc and works in finance" LMAO this itself could have been a jason segal improv line in a movie. it should deff be a t shirt at least.

[@acausedes]

i love this man so much. its so nice that he has something positive to say about everything he's worked on. i also didnt realize he wrote the muppets, absolute goat

[@Theflowergeekcrafts]

I love him so much. He’s great in everything. Would have been cute to see a freaks and geeks line. I really enjoyed shrinking as well. Such a good show.

[@jennymanker6478]

Marshall is one of my favorite TV characters and his relationship with Lily inspired me to leave an awful relationship back in the day. It touched me to hear him talk so lovingly about the character.

[@elenaa_b]

He is such a kind and beautiful man, his energy is amazing. I admire Jason Segel so much,he deserves all the best🤍

[@syrindigo26]

Shrinking is one of my favorite shows this decade. SO good. I love this dude so much.

[@idontknowyouthatsmypurse]

Die. DIe. DIE… I. Can’t. 🥲 My favorite (strangely beautiful) lyric from the vampire musical in forgetting Sarah Marshall.

[@randomperson2777]

Such an amazing actor, you can't help but love him in every show and movie he's in!

[@ArtPac7]

Every time I have had the pleasure to listen to Jason Segel speak about acting, I come away inspired.

[@Locusto199]

Not mentioning one of the most underrated comedy films ever, “I LOVE YOU, MAN”, just goes to show how underrated it is.

[@aazh9869]

Omg absolutely adore him!!

[@sonicwind1901]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of the best comedies of all time. I've heard the story about the naked break up before but I always wanted to know who the girl was. I want to hear her side of it and reaction to the movie

[@Darthbauer951]

It’s based on his break up with Linda Cardellini, supposedly.

[@barbaraarnzen5181]

Agree! Excellent quirky comedy.

[@sarahspears4968]

god i love this man in everything he does

[@AM2PMReviews]

2011 Muppets I totally forgot about! So good! Pretty much Jason has not made any flops. It’s like 24 years of gold!

[@Ragestatus]

I Love You, Man is my favorite comedy of all time. I miss the early 2000s-2010s comedies so much!

[@Colidox13]

I will always love everything from Jason Segal😊

Word! I imagine he is a solid human, thanks for sharing this

[@danbobg.9155]

Bro tried the naked man irl

[@tiamkommentiert]

I love that the "3, 2, 1: Acting" is also seen by him in a blooper reel from himym, it was way to funny😂

[@mekostevens9265]

How I met your mother was my favorite sitcom

[@hamsandwichson]

I love him. He's so good on Winning Time.

[@ChaftonTemple-pw3wf]

How dare you not include any lines from I love you man !! I was waiting the whole video

[@Tar_kat]

I got to know him in How i met your mother and for me he is always gonna be Marshall, who i think i resemble. I even have a permanent injury to my ring finger from trying to imitate the slaps he was having at Barney and accidentally hit a chair. One of my favourite actors and I've been watching most of his movies since How i met your mother onwards like doing the same with Jennifer Aniston after Friends or with Christina Applegate after Married with children and so on. But they always stay with me with their original characters they played, namely the first ones i watched of them that made an impact on me.

[@amjshortfilms8204]

I knew it was the Muppets quote from the moment it started haha! It was my favorite movie growing up!

[@PoolPartyPapi]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall will always be my favorite comedy ever, timeless

[@veesvoyages]

Forgetting Sarah Marshall is one of my favourites, such a quotable film!

[@adobokkeumbap]

wow. he has been in SO MUCH stuff. from apatow cult classics (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Knocked Up, I love you, Man, etc.) sitcoms, dramatic stuff, romcoms with emily blunt and cameron diaz, even G+ rated stuff like Despicable Me and THE MUPPETS?!?!?! the catalogue is impressive. everyone just wants to work with this guy.

[@kimhouston711]

I honestly love him so much.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

I loved him in SLC Punk and Freaks and Geeks. I wish F&G didn't get cancelled. I felt so seen during that show, being considered a "freak" in the 1990s as a goth teen.

[@TheHumorgod]

Everyone felt so seen with that show, thats what made it great. It was the first and one of the only nearly true to reality show about the high school experience, incorporate every different clique type but also finding a way to show their perspective so delicately. It was way ahead of its time

[@bdmayhem3391]

There's good continuity from SLC Punk where he leaves to go study botany, but then he pivots and decides to become an environmental lawyer.

[@coolchrisb]

I’m devastated he didn’t remember his line from The Muppets I got it straight away cos it was such a beautiful line

[@mswallow817]

I wish there would've been an I Love You Man quote. Such a fantastic movie!

Always freaking love this guy!!!!!!

[@PennyLane88]

Crazy they didn’t include dispatches from elsewhere. One of his finest performances and scripts he’s made

[@Roneish1996]

Always gonna love Jason and him returning to the silver screen for shrinking and becoming safe dick was a very pleasant surprise of a show and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

[@dereckjoshsimplicio888]

I really love him in HIMYM. The character he played, Marshall Eriksen, made me believe in love. For me, Marshall Eriksen is by far one of most loving and realist character in a TV series.

[@tazrianhaq5637]

100%, every man should aspire to be like Marshall

[@nathno2481]

Im such a huge fan of Friends and think HIMYM ripped a lot of gags from friends BUT Marshall is by far the best comedic tv character there is for me

[@tazrianhaq5637]

@@nathno2481 honestly i LOVE friends but if HIMYM took any gags, they did it better 😂 the writing on himym is genius

[@cb7703]

The show Shrinking, cast and writing, is so on point and fantastic, I almost want to pay for Apple TV. Then I remember that there are so many out there that fall on the Apple TV sword for me, I breathe a sigh of relief that I can still get these great shows without a money loss. I mean that honestly, bless you, they've come out with some great stuff. I cannot afford it. Segel is a national treasure.

[@bridgersmacdonald]

been obsessed with him my whole life. biggest crush ever

Shrinking is great, but it shows that its a real shame Segal and Ford haven't been in more emotional shows its their best job ever.
