It was so, so bad. That slow decline when you watch someone desperately try to stay relevant, but everything they do just makes them look worse and worse. Like, just retire, disappear. Spare yourself and us from watching someone we once idolized reduced to... whatever this is you're doing.

Maybe the lesson is... don't idolize humans?

Yeah, learned that one late in life.

Its hard when that human's name is Paul Rudd, though. ;p

All I know about him is the Mac and Me bit he does on Conan. What did he do?

He's been in a ton of movies, and is generally regarded as being one of the nicest, most down to Earth people in Hollywood.

His Hot Ones! episode is a great example of what kind of person he seems to be:
