The ageless Paul Rudd delivered this line in 1995’s Clueless, but it wasn’t scripted. Rather, it was an improvised callback to Rudd’s costar Donald Faison. As Faison explained years later, “When you see us laughing at the end, we’re literally laughing for real because nobody expected him to say that. And how he said it. I think sometimes I would say, ‘I’m bugging.’ Not buggin’, bugging — ‘I’m bugging myself.’” Rudd himself added, “And then we kept trying to do different versions of it. Then we all couldn’t stop laughing for a little too long.”
