Paul Rudd performs a flustered mailman who’s incapable of delivering letters as a result of he’s nervous about his ailing ferret within the video for Claud’s “A Good Factor.” The observe seems on the artist’s Supermodels album, out at this time. (The album, by the way, incorporates a tune titled “Paul Rudd.”)
Discovering Claud’s mail should not be such a problem — they solely have one title in spite of everything — however Rudd will get confused when a diaphanous crimson ribbon covers the “D” on a well-wrapped current, insisting it is for “Clau.” The comedy would not cease there (and he invokes his poor ferret once more), even after Rudd leaves and the guitar kicks in.
Claud, after all, opens the bundle, both mendacity about it being for a girlfriend or within the act of consummate selfishness and pays the worth since it is a sweater that instantly begins unraveling. They continue to be happy-go-lucky although, matching the tone of the tune, which bears all of the hallmarks of mainstream Eighties pop-rock: a slamming snare drum, gently muted guitar thrumming, and an immediately hummable refrain: “What if I simply depart factor alone?/Do not attempt to repair it if it is not damaged.” That buoyant, carefree spirit guides Claud within the tune and within the video as they rock out, dance, and skip alongside to the beat. Even Rudd appears fairly stoked earlier than the video ends.
“During the last couple months, I’ve revealed the extra intimate elements of Supermodels, however now I am actually excited for everybody to listen to the windows-down, radio-up moments of my album,” Claud stated in a press release. “Songs like ‘A Good Factor’ and ‘Paul Rudd’ seize an anthemic, all the pieces works out ultimately kind feeling. That is why I needed to have Paul Rudd within the music video for ‘A Good Factor.'”

Filming this music video actually pushed me out of my shell in loads of methods, as did making this album. I hope you want Supermodels as a lot as Paul Rudd and I do!”
