Watch Ryan Gosling’s hilarious video call with Mikey Day here.
The dialog — with each stars clearly “in” on the joke — is so well-acted (save for some typical Gosling breaks, after all) that you simply’d assume this was an honest-to-goodness candid video chat between the real-life mates.
“Ryan, what up, dude? You’re hosting SNL again, I’m so excited!” Day mentioned firstly of the video, referring to Gosling’s internet hosting gig scheduled for March 7. “Beavis and Butt-head 2, perhaps?”
“Perhaps. But before that, I’m actually calling not to talk about work, but just to say happy Palentine’s Day, I love you,” Gosling mentioned.
“…Okay,” Day deadpanned, after a confused few moments of silence.
From there, the chat devolved as Gosling pivoted to his actual motive for calling — selling his upcoming movie within the type of greeting playing cards and random Project Hail Mary plot factors that Day would don’t have any reference level for.
“Sorry, what is this?” Day lastly requested. “Is this like a marketing thing for your movie or something?”
“Yeah, but you were excited, right? You were saying, it comes out on March 20,” Gosling mentioned, maintaining the joke.
“I did not say that,” Day shot again flatly.
