You can always count on Ryan Reynolds for a laugh riot, whether it’s his movies,
tweets, or interviews. He even has a special knack for cracking jokes at the
expense of others, just enough to get them riled up but never so far as to get
him in trouble. Reynolds walks the line precisely and brilliantly.

RYAN REYNOLDS AND KAITLIN OLSON POKE FUN AT ROB MCELHENNY

In a talk show hosted by Rob McElhenney, Ryan Reynolds revealed that he recently
shot a few ad spots with Kaitlin Olson. Calling her a “comedic sniper,” Reynolds
then showcased the ad films in the studio. McElhenney, who was completely
oblivious to the subject matter of the spots, was in for a treat/horror.



It was a series of spots advocating the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED)
in men over 40. On the face of it, it seemed like a completely harmless, in
fact, educational film creating awareness about the stigmatized issue. The only
catch? Kaitlin and Reynolds cast a Rob McElhenney look alike, donning his
signature baseball cap as the guy suffering from ED.

The spots cover four different scenarios, each emphasizing the fact that
Kaitlin’s partner, the McElhenney impersonator, has ED and should get it checked
out and treated. All the ads are absolutely hysterical, and we can hear the
audience erupt with laughter. The aftermath, however, is a long and awkward
pause between the two business partners, resulting in a further uproar. It was
probably McElhenney rethinking Welcome to Wrexham

Reynolds finally breaks the silence by saying, “It’s really, you know, it’s
quite common for men over 40,” matter-of-factly. If that wasn’t enough, he
stretches it further by saying, “It’s sort of like a flu. But in your pants.” As
much as we want to feel sorry for Rob McElhenney, Ryan’s comic timing has blown
us away.

What did you think of the spot? Let us know in the comments. We, for one, cannot
wait for Ryan Reynolds to take up a new project. Till then, we are stuck
