Trivia: Comedian Paul Rudd had a running gag for many years where, whenever he'd appear on Conan O'Brien's late-night talk show, he'd set up a clip for a film he was promoting... and then instead show the infamous clip from "Mac and Me" in which Eric falls over a cliff in his wheelchair, and the alien Mac pops up in the foreground. The gag ended up going on for 17 years.
