"No, I don't think we should do that, because ... you're my sister-in-law," Reynolds tells Robyn, who is the older sister of his wife Blake LivelyRyan Reynolds teamed up with sister-in-law Robyn Lively for a Doogie Howser, M.D. spoof.
The actor stars opposite Robyn in a new video spoofing her TV show Doogie Howser, M.D., all for a joking response to the hit series' star Neil Patrick Harris now voicing Reynolds' character Deadpool in a new video game.
As a whitecoat-clad Reynolds, 48, types up a scathing letter on an old-school desktop PC, Robyn — who played love interest Michele Faber opposite Harris' Doogie in the show, which ran from 1989 to 1993 — pops up in the window and yells, "House call!"
"My girlfriend! What are you doing here? If my dad sees you here, he's gonna freak," Reynolds tells Robyn, his wife Blake Lively's older sister, who cheekily replies, "You're a 48-year-old man."

"I'm a 14-year-old medical prodigy who's going through the change," Reynolds says as "Doogie," which prompts Robyn to respond, "Are you talking about puberty?"
"Robyn, you're being paid," quips Reynolds.
"This is vindictive and stupid," she replies, to which Reynolds hits back with, "I disagree with that diagnosis."
After an ad for the Meta Quest game Deadpool VR (featuring the voice of Harris, 51) plays onscreen, Reynolds and Robyn, 53, have one last thing to sort out.
After he appears to awkwardly lean in for a kiss, Reynolds backs up and says, "No, I don't think we should do that, because—"
"Because you are so dumb," Robyn says, at the same time he says, "Because you're my sister-in-law."
A synopsis for the new game reads, "Contracted by Mojo, with the promise of making money, like a lot of money, Deadpool sets out to capture villains from the Marvel Universe."
"The Merc with the Mouth soon realizes he shouldn't have so hastily signed the contract," the description adds. "Will he survive or thrive in his journey to become the Mojoverse's most famous interdimensional streaming star?"

Earlier in his spoof, Reynolds is seen writing a journal entry a la Doogie and narrating, "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."
"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," Reynolds added.
