Ryan Gosling and SNL’s Mikey Day Hit Red Carpet As Beavis And Butt-Head

Ryan Gosling has a new movie out and by this point in his illustrious Hollywood career, he's probably sick and tired of going to movie premieres. So, he's got to do something to liven things up a little bit, and dressing up as Beavis while SNL's Mikey Day dons a Butt-Head get-up seems like just the ticket.

Gosling and Day hit the premiere for the former's new flick The Fall Guy as the iconic Mike Judge creations, and if ever there was a time I wish some hack red-carpet reporter was on hand to ask them, "…and who are you wearing?" it's now.

Now, if you're getting a case of deja vu from Gosling's Beavis pompadour and Day's creepy-ass Butt-Head lips, that's because the two wore the same costumes for one of the rare Saturday Night Live sketches that went viral in recent years.

Believe it or not, it was one of the even rarer sketches that landed in the center of the Venn Diagram between "viral" and "actually funny."

In it, they played two guys in the audience for a town hall interview who caused a distraction thanks to their uncanny resemblance to Beavis and Butt-Head.

It's a good sketch that I believe borrowed its structure from a similar sketch where Day played a guy who looked a heck of a lot like Bart Simpson.

Anyway, showing up to the premiere like that is genius, because it got people talking. There's a 0% chance that I would've woken up on Wednesday morning and written about the new theatrically released reboot of a show from the '80s starring Lee Majors had one of the stars and a dude from SNL not rolled up looking like Beavis and Butt-Head.

Kind of brilliant, but it'll only work once. If everyone starts showing up to movie premieres in goofy costumes in a bid to snag some headlines this way, it won't be worth talking about.
