'Don't' Episode 1: Ryan Reynolds's 'creepy but hilarious' voiceovers leave fans in splits
What are the weirdest things you've done for money? That forms the premise of Ryan Reynolds's new show 'Don't'. While the actor himself is not present, he provides his snarky Deadpool-ish voiceovers that just amp up the fun on the show. Hosted by Adam Scott, 'Don't sees families of four undertake bizarre challenges for money. In the premiere titled 'Don't Be A WiseGuy', the Riley family from Brooklyn did challenges such as 'Don't Blink', 'Don't Drink', 'Don't Use Fowl Language' and 'Don't Get Tired'.
In 'Don't Get Tired', while one member stands in front of actual tires, their family members have to answer some multiple-choice questions. If they get the answer right, the tires will roll out and avoid the person. If they don't, they get hit by the tires. David Riley and his wife were not so lucky as the family got answers wrong. However, their team member, Giuseppe, was supremely lucky and avoided being hit by a tire.
One of the trickier challenges was 'Don't Drink'. David had to walk a treadmill, while Scott handed him spicy jalapenos and wasabi. If he asked for water, the challenge would end. However, he kept ploughing through and didn't stop, which was quite an impressive feat.
Fans are duly impressed by the format of the show, especially by Ryan Reynolds's running commentary. "#DontOnABC this is the best game show ever..can’t wait for next week! @VancityReynolds is one of the best unseen powers in a game show. Adam Scott is pretty funny too!" wrote a fan.
"#dont was amazing thanks for creating this @VancityReynolds with your twisted mind it was great and you commenting on everything was hilarious I really enjoyed it #," another viewer said.
"#DontOnABC was good. Ryan Reynolds doing these narrations are a little creepy and hilarious," a fan wrote.
Others warmed up to the show and said they're excited for next week. "I actually really enjoyed the show a lot! Looking forward to next week's episode," a fan wrote.
Some said the show is 'exactly' what they needed right now. "So @ABCNetwork is really nailing it with #HoleyMoley, #DontOnABC and #totellthetruth. Exactly what we need right now," a fan wrote.
'Don't' airs on Thursdays at 9 pm on ABC.
