Rudd Vs. Rockwell: What Is The Single Best Celebrity Dance GIF?


It’s always a good time to be Paul Rudd, but that’s especially true this month. His first real blockbuster, Ant-Man, came out recently, and offices everywhere are closing early today so that everyone can watch Netflix’s Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp at the same time.

Is Paul Rudd our most unanimously beloved famous person? It’s possible; at the very least, he’s up there with Mac from Mac and Me. But is he the provider of the best celebrity dance GIF? We’re no strangers to his moves, but it’s time to weigh them against some other heavy hitters (I left off Carlton and any musicians because that’s too easy).

Let’s begin with an obvious candidate.

Sam Rockwell

As always, an intriguing mix of slime and grace.

Paul Rudd

Rudd gets all the enthusiasm points.

Nick Offerman

Drunk Ron Swanson makes me giggle every time.

Emma Watson

Emma Watson is a Disney princess. But one of the good ones, like Jasmine.

Rob McElhenney

I miss Fat Mac.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio had #DadMoves before he got his #DadBod.

Tina Fey

Ain’t no party like a Liz Lemon party, ’cause a Liz Lemon party is mandatory.

Dave Chappelle

2014’s Godzilla was better than 1998’s Godzilla, but it could have used more (any) Blackzilla.

Donald Faison

TURK DANCE!

Jason Sudeikis

We never learned “What’s Up with That.” We’ll never forget Running Man.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

There’s an odd poetry to it, no?

Arrested Development cast

Stare at this GIF while listening to Carly Rae Jepsen. It works.

Zach Galifianakis

And finally, that time Zach’s bottom dollar almost came out.


Lotta #elite contestants. But there can be only one winner, and it’s pretty obvious who that is.

Have a victory cigarette, Running Man. You’ve earned it.
