“I’m Ryan Reynolds, oK? And I’m not weird. I’m Canadian.”
RR plugs into the cultural zeitgeist with gusto, sharing his familiar Mint Mobile set with funnyman Guillermo (Rodriguez) from Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Ryan proclaims, “This is my home. I live on the green screen,” as the two banter with copious canned laughter punctuating each exchange.
It’s all about Mint’s latest 5G home internet deal, which Ryan describes as the “Minternet,” cheering his own pun.
Key takeaway: Somehow, after all these years, and so much schtick, Reynolds manages to keep his spiel fresh and on brand.
There’s a weird juxtaposition of comic styles and physicality that rattles the funny bone. And the laugh track adds a note of silly self-awareness that kicks the comedy up to 11.
From Ryan’s Maximum Effort agency, natch.
Per lead creatives Kathleen Swanson and Pierce Thiot, Ryan got the notion on set to recreate the Twins poster, spoofing Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. (Look up—doesn’t that image seem familiar?) The team shot the spot two hours before it aired last night on Kimmel’s show, which featured Reynolds as a guest.
