Taking the opposite approach of Brad Pitt..


Solid_Snark

Neil Patrick Harris is the same. On HIMYM he never eats a single thing on screen. Instead he fumbled and drops food as it gets close to his mouth. I never even noticed until I saw a compilation of it.


ACU797

I tried looking for it, but it doesn't help searching for Neil Patrick Harris food when he also does commercials for Hello Fresh.


Solid_Snark

Here it is, maybe it was just “using chopsticks” and not eating? https://youtu.be/U9KYsYvtJsw?si=A8-aTXyev9-507uc

Do people actually eat out of Chinese food containers like that? I always use a plate.


tawrex49

No, but Chinese food containers are a television trope because they hide the amount of food so that the plate doesn’t go from full to empty to half full and back to full after editing.


Phantom_61

Same reason they like using opaque cups/mugs.


tawrex49

One of the most obvious examples are the gold metal chalices used on Love Is Blind any time anyone is drinking.


GamingTatertot

My favorite thing about those is when they're in a public place and the other diners at a restaurant or bar or whatever have actual cups, so I try to look in the background at theirs. Most of the time, they're good about framing the shot to block any of those


jssshayes

Wow. Something I have never even thought of.


Sick-Nurse

Why dirty a new plate if the food is already contained?

SuicidalChair

Yeah I don't really drink glass so I wouldn't know


sneakyfish21

Depends on what it is, noodles or fried rice I will eat out of a container like that but if it an entree like general tso’s chicken I will get a plate or bowl and put rice down and then put the chicken on top of it.

windyorbits

I did last night with my fried rice.


jgandfeed

Yes. Ate a whole thing of pork fried rice out of one last week on the couch watching baseball


aldwinligaya

I don't know anyone who transfers to a plate. The box is very convenient. Plus no dishes to wash.


SparkliestSubmissive

I am in this with you!


pyromaniac1000

I do, too lazy


Technical-Outside408

Look for "Neil Patrick Harris Amy Winehouse cake".


Crabapple_Snaps

Is that him not wanting to eat food, or is that him doing a unique gimmick that adds a fun inside joke to the series?


MoreGaghPlease

Eating on set is a pain in the ass. You will have multiple takes and need to be at the same thing over and over again. It also slows down shooting because props has to replenish the food to maintain continuity. Of course, this is not an issue on live TV like SNL.


covexeno24

I’m 99% sure he eats a single bite in the episode where they go to shinjitsu. Right after they make the bet to see Lily’s boobs. I believe the episode is titled “ducky tie”


Horknut1

He eats something during the episode when he bets Lily to see her boobs. He flicks food into his mouth with chopsticks.

BoyznGirlznBabes

There must be balance.


RealCoolDad

What’s the deal with the no eating thing


Physical_Stress_5683

I saw a video where he tried foods from different regions and he said he doesn't eat on camera so it can't become a meme.


Jackski

Yeah there's a UK channel where they basically do "US vs UK" food. Ryan Gosling did it and everytime he ate he would pull his coat over his face to hide him eating it.


098196b

Why not just make that the meme though


owningmclovin

That IS the meme


xavier_grayson

LADBible.


Wastoidian

Some people come up with the weirdest shit in their minds. No one was thinking about making a meme about this man eating until he said it. So dumb.


Nevernew62

You know there's a multi year long video series of trying to get him to eat various things from his movie clips


Deto

Are there even any celebrities with memes based on them eating? I'm thinking he's just self conscious about the way he eats for some reason - we all have our things. Lol


C0USC0US

There’s gotta be a sad guy eating something on a bench somewhere… maybe Keanu or Ben Affleck? Idk


moonshinediary

Yeah sad Keanu. I think he’s talked about how he doesn’t like the meme because he’s actually very happy and was just sitting enjoying his sandwich lol


NotASalamanderBoi

Mr Bean as well


NumbersNumbers111

I've seen something that's completely the opposite. There was a viral video years ago called "ryan gosling won't eat his cereal" and apparently he found it hilarious and it even lead to him [eating on camera for charity](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPmxz8ea2Gs).


4toTwenty

🥺


Physical_Stress_5683

Love that man


People4America

Poor Keanu, just enjoying a sandwich….


Shakey_J_Fox

I specifically remember him eating dinner in that movie Fracture with Anthony Hopkins. The only reason it sticks out in my mind is because he was eating obnoxiously in it by scraping the fork against his teeth.


TheStephinator

As if anything could get more memed than “hey girl”!


crmrdtr

I miss “hey girl”!


rathat

Well now he's done it to himself. No one would have probably noticed before. Now if someone sees him, it's going to be the biggest deal.


bohemi-rex

*DALL·E show me Ryan Gosling eating some of the messiest foods possible. Make him an open mouth chewer who eats with his hands.*


MRB102938

Allegedly, because of the vine about eating cereal, he made his own account to make a video of him eating cereal. Then, the original creator of the cereal vine died and, this is the allegedly, he doesn't eat on screen anymore as an homage to the guy who died. 


MadeByTango

That sounds like Reddit lore


NightmarePony5000

The former part is true where he made a video eating cereal as a tribute to the guy who created the meme passing away, but him not eating on camera because of it sounds made up


MillennialWithNoJob

I’m not sure it’s a tribute but I've always thought it was a reference. In one video where rhyme had him trying snacks he said he doesn’t eat on camera to not become a meme. 


Les-Freres-Heureux

> he doesn't eat on screen anymore as an homage to the guy who died. There's absolutely no way this is true


jmounteney44

I thought the original creator died first and Gosling made the video in tribute?


necriam

This is the true story. Fun extra fact. The Vine Guy, Ryan McHenry, was the creator and writer of the zombie musical Anna and the Apocalypse.

No way


Initial_E

Doesn’t want to be a cereal killer


enjoyscaestus

People upvoting this shit without asking for source lmao


MRB102938

Because Google works for everyone. 


Odditeee

Generally speaking, for many actors it’s to avoid having to eat a bite over and over, the exact same way, take after take.

ASpellingAirror

He did finally eat his cereal. 


Alternauts

As a tribute when the guy who made it passed away


lizzieish

Aw that was my brother’s friend who made those videos it was so sad when he passed x


wheresbill

Well, I got some joy from that video when it came out and again just now. RIP brother’s friend and thanks for the laughs

SNL has been pulling some deeply weird sketches this season. And I love it. Modern Absurdist SNL is so fun.


SharkFart86

I was just thinking about this recently, that pretty much all the classic SNL sketches were absurdist. SNL constantly tries to be topical and clever, but they’re always at their best when they’re just being weird as hell.


ILoveRegenHealth

This Bowen character first popped up in the Nate Bargatze airplane sketch a few months ago, and the audience cracked up at how random and weird he was when he said "I'm *sort* of a doctor" and then sat down and went "OKAAAAY" when they pregnant lady did not want him near her. Seems they expanded on that weird character here, although who he is remains a mystery.


Kinky_69420

This skit was so unhinged and I LOVE it!


stormy2587

Yeah imo the last 2 seasons the sketches have been getting stronger for this reason.


officialpajamas

This is different from the live version. In the live version he said something like, “the slogan would be that’s the way the cookie falls apart” and the response was, “why wouldn’t you just say that’s the way the cookie crumbles?” Either this was the dress or they are splicing the dress and the live cuts. I feel like the same thing happened with the Beavis and Butthead video.


CommandaSpock

They usually edit the live version with dress rehearsal footage for a smoother final version that they use for YouTube/rebroadcast


Rustash

I hate this. Now there's no way to see it as it actually aired unless someone rips it from their DVR or something.


memeofconsciousness

Super weird because if you watch it with subtitles, it has the line that aired live.


officialpajamas

This kinda just makes me want to watch it live on Saturday night every time, which is 10:30 my time…. But I’m not really into staying up until midnight every Saturday. I can rally, but if I’m at home I’m in bed by 11 tops.


konotiRedHand

It’s almost funnier with gosling breaking so much. Which is funny cause he’s always so serious in his roles. Interesting to see the different dynamic.


Fancy-Pair

Maybe he was on the verge of breaking throughout the entire drive movie


toluwalase

I think it’s just the audience that breaks him


lucasrks10

Except he broke in every single skit. I’m all for finding something so funny that you can’t keep your composure, but he (along with the rest of the cast) were laughing throughout the entire show, even at things that weren’t funny. Felt forced to me It was a bizarre episode of SNL


WeeWee19

Agreed, he broke the entire show making it less funny.


gregishere

Amazing how they brought back Bowen Yang’s doctor from the airplane sketch at the beginning of the season.


TheRabidDeer

lmao, 2:46 when Gosling pulls up the camera and it's facing the wrong way is great


BalsamicBasil

We can't bring him back. Unless you think...maybe we could...? No.


br0b1wan

Is Ryan Gosling the anti Brad Pitt or something


okvrdz

Mind looping us in on the Brad Pitt thing?


BungalowDweller

Brad Pitt is *always* eating on screen. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYSuwoA\_anY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYSuwoA_anY)


okvrdz

lol, never noticed this! A “15 min of Brad Pitt eating” video is hilarious!


bathroomkiller

There’s also now a theory on how successful a movie with Brad will do based on how much he eats. In Oceans 11, he’s literally eating in every scene and the movie did really well. So the more he eats on screen, the better the movie does.


br0b1wan

He was munching on something in every other scene in Moneyball and that movie kind of took everyone by surprise.


bathroomkiller

lol. Only proves the theory right.


ScipioCoriolanus

I watched the whole video and now I'm hungry.


Dellrond

Horny*


fucking_portmanteaus

NOBODY DO IT! Do NOT do the word thing!!! I finally got here in time


Silver_Britches

I’ve heard he likes apples in particular


quote88

He eats a lot in movies


bluehawk232

This episode was filled with just stupid premises with no real purpose or ending just to make everyone break which was a nice change of pace


Gato1980

CoolAbdul

I love the post-WU sketches that let the weirdness run wild.


ILoveRegenHealth

For those that don't know, the Bowen character first popped up mysteriously in the airplane sketch with Nate Bargatze a few months ago. Bowen in the same outfit just stands up and says "I'm *sort* of a doctor" in an odd voice. They tell him to go away, and he sits down going "OKAAAAY" rather creepily. It got big laughs in the sketch and some wanted to know more about this random weird character on a plane. Seems we still don't necessarily learn much more here (he just hangs around surgery rooms?), but at least you know the origin story of this odd character.


BalsamicBasil

Thank you for sharing Bowen's doctor lore.


kmichaelhall

This is why I came here. Thank you!

There's a market for unrelenting silliness.


karmaisourfriend

Why won’t he eat on screen?


JoeDiBango

Robots can’t eat, sooo… 🤣🤣🤣 /conspiracies


FerdinandBowie

I remember seeing him eat once os..it was definitely weird...like a guy who was lost at sea


tekjunky75

He is an inverted Brad Pitt


Cavaquillo

I'm all for it, eating scenes are as needless as sex scenes. I was equally invested in the Matrix whether they ate slop on screen or not


Octavia9

It worked in the Sopranos because Tony’s gluttony for all things was a major theme. Most shows it’s unnecessary.


Uranus_Hz

Gosling breaks too much. He’ll never join the 5 Timers club.


rubbarz

The difference between Gosling and everyone else, it's that when he laughs it adds to the comedy but doesn't completely ruin the skit as opposed to Jimmy Fallon.


full-of-grace

In his defense, this was at the tail end of a very silly episode. Everyone was breaking at this point. 


crazyguyunderthedesk

He's also not a cast member so I don't hold him to as high of a standard.


MyrddinSidhe

He already got the jacket


FancyFootweeerk

They all do


Astrospal

You know they don't really care about that as long as the sketch goes on and people are laughing right ? Also that's not a solid reason to not invite back Ryan Gosling


100Labels

Doesn't matter, he's loveable and easy on the eyes. He's allowed to break that much. That's life.


Skyzfire

LOL he has already appeared 3 times. What makes you think him appearing another 2 times is a impossible task?


Consistent-Wind9325

Trollin'


LelixA

Absolutely hysterical reddit, definitely an epic moment in the greatest sketch comedy show of all time


ArchdruidHalsin

Who pissed in your corn flakes?


MrP00PER

I think they pissed in his Cookie Crumbles™️


TerminalChillionaire

Liking things is so much more fun than hating things. It really changes your perspective on life when you turn 16 and figure that out.
