If they make a spin-off, I’d watch it if it was a prequel to friends, he’d start off as some antisocial high school/college dropout character with difficulty socializing, who rarely comes out of his house, and then one day he’s buying ramen and Oreos at a gas station, and “bumps” into someone one the way out, and that’s when the “council of voices” start their meeting, (a scene that can take 1 minute to an entire episode but is still a split second IRL) because of this one scenario, he slowly starts to come out of his shell, making friends along the way, the finale would have them move on with a tearful goodbye, with Mike moving to NewYork.

The best would be if Paul Rudd pulled a double-bluff by working that clip into a movie of his.
