Ryan Reynolds Fires Off Hilarious 'Diagnosis' for Neil Patrick Harris in DEADPOOL VR Response Video — GeekTyrant
Ryan Reynolds has officially broken his silence on being replaced as Deadpool in the new Marvel's Deadpool VR game, and in true Wade Wilson fashion, he did it with maximum sarcasm, a lab coat, and a pitch-perfect jab at Doogie Howser, M.D.
Meta's upcoming VR title for Quest 3 and 3S sees How I Met Your Mother and Doogie Howser star Neil Patrick Harris taking over as the Merc with a Mouth, and Reynolds wasn't about to let that slide without a fourth-wall-breaking response.
In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Reynolds resurrects the classic Doogie end-of-episode monologue format, complete with a painfully retro computer and that famous journal entry setup to air his grievances.
Dressed in a lab coat and typing furiously, Reynolds deadpans:
'Today, I learned a lesson about buttholes they don't teach you in medical school. People who steal your signature role are the biggest buttholes of all.'
The room Reynolds is typing in is made to look like Doogie's childhood bedroom. The voiceover continues with a faux coming-of-age revelation that perfectly toes the line between admiration and absolute Deadpool-level pettiness:
'No, I don't blame Meta Quest. Neil Patrick Harris is an amazing actor with the nurturing voice of an angel, but even though I haven't hit puberty yet, I still know when you're getting totally screwed.'
But the real kicker comes when Robyn Lively crashes the scene yelling 'House call!', a deep cut callback for Doogie Howser fans, as Lively played Michele Faber on the show. She also just happens to be Blake Lively's sister, making this bit extra awkward when Reynolds calls her his 'girlfriend,' then immediately panics about what her dad might say. Lively hits him with the cold truth:
'You're a 48-year-old man.'
Cue a hilarious exchange about paychecks, insults, and one of Reynolds' most Deadpool-y retorts:
'I disagree with that diagnosis.'
Before the clip wraps, we get a quick cut to the actual Marvel's Deadpool VR game trailer, then right back to Reynolds, still in Doogie cosplay, leaning in for an awkward kiss before stopping himself:
'We can't. You're my sister-in-law.' Lively shoots back with a flat, 'You're dumb.'
It's a perfectly chaotic little video that will have you laughing.

Long Island golfer is trying to set Guinness World Record for playing most consecutive hours
For most golfers, a round takes a few hours, but one Long Island man is taking that to the extreme. Kelechi Ezihie, who only started playing golf two years ago after learning the game as a caddy, hit the course at Huntington Crescent Club at 6 p.m. on Sunday with the intention of setting a Guinness World Record by playing nonstop for 24 hours. However, in the wee hours of Monday morning, he found out his marathon had to get even longer if he wanted his name in the record books. "This is a test to my energy" Ezihie's drive goes beyond the green. He works at Life's WORC, a nonprofit serving people with disabilities, and he's raising money -- and awareness -- for his mission to diversify golf. The 27-year-old Inwood resident showed no signs of fatigue about 19 hours into his odyssey. He is allowed five-minute breaks each hour, but otherwise must keep walking and swinging. "I feel great. This is for a good cause, so I feel great," Ezihie said earlier Monday. "This is a test to my energy to see how far I can go." He was surrounded by friends who kept him laughing through the night as he played under lights and with glow-in-the-dark balls. "I really showed up thinking I would just play until 10, but the vibes are so good," friend Michaelangelo Garland said. Why Ezihie is going to have to play longer than he planned In the middle of play, he found out that the game that planned to be the longest in history had to get even longer if wants to set the record. He said he found out at around 3 a.m. that a British golfer had just played 32 hours straight in Norway. So now, Ezihie is aiming for 40. "My friends are here to keep me going. I just think about enjoying myself, enjoy every single swing," he said. And that means rain or shine, darkness or light. "A little shower doesn't spoil the dream and the goal," Ezihie said. Guinness officials will review video evidence to determine if he meets all the criteria for the record. "We have to make sure he's finishing the rounds in the right amount of time, that he is taking breaks in the allotted time that witnesses are logging," said Shartia Ducksworth, of Golf Insights. Why Ezihie embarked on this mission in the first place "People assume that golf is for the wealthy and I'm trying to change that," Ezihie said. "The goal is to let people know that golf is a game for everybody. Whatever your economic background or somebody with special needs, you can play the game of golf." He has bought land in his native Nigeria to build a golf center. "I believe Nigeria has a lot of talented kids that aren't able to show their talent," Ezihie said. Ezihie has a large laugh, a bigger heart, and may be on his way to a spot in the record books.

Today's ‘Wordle' #1452 Hints, Clues And Answer For Tuesday, June 10th
How to solve today's Wordle. Looking for Monday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: Another day, another Wordle to solve. It's another gorgeous June Tuesday and there's a whole world of summer to explore, so let's not dilly-dally with a preamble. Let's solve this Wordle! The Hint: Corporate. Governing. Advisory. Cheese. The Clue: This Wordle has two vowels in a row. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder . . Today's Wordle Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. I started off rather badly with BREAD. 305 words remained and one lonely 'A' wasn't doing much for me. I have no idea where AMITY came from for my second guess, but at least it slashed that number down to just 7. TANGY wasn't a great choice for guess #3, leaving me with four words. Thankfully, the first word I came up with — TABBY — was no good because I'd already used the 'B' but this led me to TAFFY and I just went for it. Lucky for me, it was the Wordle! Today's Wordle Bot I can't believe the Bot got this one on its third guess with just one yellow 'A' and one green 'T'. Lucky lucky Bot. This means I lose 1 point for losing to the Bot and it gets 1 for guessing in three and 1 for beating me. Our June totals widen once again: Erik: 3 points Wordle Bot: 9 points The word taffy (the chewy candy) comes from British dialectal taffy or taffie, recorded in the early 19th century, meaning "candy made by boiling sugar." The exact origin is uncertain, but it may be imitative of the stretching and pulling sound or action used in making the candy. It is unrelated to Taffy as a slang term for a Welsh person, which comes from the Welsh name Dafydd (David). Let me know how you fared with your Wordle today on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

Today's NYT Strands hints and answers Credit: New York Times Looking for Monday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: It's Tuesday! Huzzah! I'm not sure why this is cause for celebration, but I do know that Tuesday is a somewhat overlooked day of the week. People are rarely excited about it unless it's Taco Tuesday. In fact, why not let it be Taco Tuesday tonight? I'm going to have tacos, in any case. But before I do, let's uncover some words in today's Strands grid! Strands is the newest game in the New York Times' stable of puzzle games. It's a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we're given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day's theme. Spoilers ahead. Read on for today's theme and some hints to help you uncover today's words. Instead of giving you the first two letters of each word, today I'm giving out three hints instead of two. Today's Theme: Mind your manners. Hint: Sit up straight. Clue: Don't interrupt. Here are the first two letters of each of today's words: Remember, spoilers ahead! Today's spangram is: BEPOLITE Here's the full list of words: Here's the completed Strands grid: Today's Strands Screenshot: Erik Kain It took me a little while to find my first word, or rather the first correct word.
