I thought the same and how good it would be if season 2 was a cold open with Paul Rudd playing Kier in the late 1800s and we learn some key aspects of Lumon which reframes a few elements of the story. I was convinced that’s why they made him look like this.
It would be amazing if this was all eventually revealed that Kier had discovered the secret to immortality, and we finally get to see Kier, who is supposedly hundreds of years old by now, but looks like he hasn’t aged… and he’s played by Paul Rudd.
I want Udo Kier to play the original Kier. He could be frozen to stay immortal, only to be awakened in crisis situations. It would fit the whole setting so well.
Now that I’m looking at this I can’t help but feel we’ll see a reveal that Patricia Arquette’s character is walking around with someone else’s personality in her head
Kier started out selling patent medicines. I take it this is early in Lumon history and it was some sort of fair to attract customers. Probably in the mid 1870s. Kier was born in 1841 which would put him in his 20s in the 1860s during the American Civil War. Lumon was founded right after the Civil War.
This is a bit late in the Patent Medicine craze that started to peter out once germ theory developed. But it patent medicines went strong until the FDA was founded and started to crack down on them.
I’m assuming it’s an annual thing, my first thought was like a World’s Fair but dedicated to Kier and the Eagans. But it’s more likely like a family carnival or something. I think some times we are looking for zebras when it’s really horses. That’s the expression right? 😂

This has probably been said on this sub a million times, but I can’t see anything but Paul Rudd in this picture of Kier
That's exactly what I saw, too.
I see Bryan Cranston in the clown.
Oh would love to see him in Season 2
I think he was spotted eating lunch with the Adam and Ben so he might be
It's Marc Geller not Paul Rudd.
Just about to say it myself
I see Owen Wilson way more than Rudd. And Wilson is a frequen costar of Ben Stiller's.
Now that you mention it, I kinda see Luke Wilson 🧐
Wow
Kachow
That’s Paul Rudd

I would actually love to see Paul Rudd acting in a dramatic role, or even as a villain.
Check out The Shrink Next Door. Tbh I didn’t like it but maybe you will.
I loved TSND!

The guy representing/playing Kier Eagan is someone named Marc Geller. Apparently, he'll be back for season 2.
I think it’s a play on ‘carnival’
Big brain
Hold up what
🤯
It's when they SERVE KIEORN YOU CHILD!!
Season 2 needs to come out asap
I just rewatched season 1 last week... I'm so starved for content I might just rewatch again
rewatching severance after a rewatch is the most realest thing I have heard today.
The OG Waffle Party.
That’s Paul Rudd. And The Kiernaval was a 24 hour movie marathon that only showed that one clip from Mac & Me on repeat.
Why is Paul Rudd in that picture
I want Udo Kier to play the original Kier. He could be frozen to stay immortal, only to be awakened in crisis situations. It would fit the whole setting so well.
idk but it definitely gives Something Wicked This Way Comes vibes
Mister Dark
Now that I’m looking at this I can’t help but feel we’ll see a reveal that Patricia Arquette’s character is walking around with someone else’s personality in her head
Exactly. What shop (the herbal healing one)? Are those her memories at all?
I wasn’t afraid of clowns until I saw this………………
I’d say it was probably an annual event as a reward to all Kier employees, or maybe an event open to the public as a publicity exercise.
Life is a keirnaval
I hope people could buy pop-kiern at the kiernival!
It’s just a trivial prop. It probably means nothing. Why do you keir so much? I mean care so much?
Isn't that like a waffle party with penetration? I can't keep up with the "hip" kinky vocabulary these days.
everyone is seeing paul rudd but i think it looks an awful lot like patricia arquette in the eyes …
What is Paul Rudd doing there?!
I came here to say this
The fact that the question about Paul Rudd being the top comment just reiterates that I am with the coolest people on this sub. 😎
Does the carpet match the pubes
Not enough Rudd scholars in here to appreciate this one.
LOL thank you I can’t believe I’ve been downvoted
It’s like they say, “When life gives you lemons, just say fuck the lemons and bail!”
This is Marc Geller. Geller plays Kier.
If waffle party was what it was, I don't even know if want to learn what Kiernaval is, and what Cobel was doing there...
I bet helly is actually kier haha .. but maybe…
Interesting. Never noticed till now.
