With a long list of credits that include SCTV, Ghostbusters, Spaceballs, and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, it is absolutely safe to say that Rick Moranis is a comedy legend.
And since the late 1990s, he hasn’t appeared much in acting roles, taking a hiatus to raise his kids as a single father after his wife died of cancer, although he will star in the latest edition of the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise with Shrunk.
He also took a new role that has Twitter going nuts on Wednesday: a 30-second commercial with Ryan Reynolds for Mint’s paid plan. Even if he’s hawking a product, it is SO good to see him back on a screen:
Today @Mintmobile is launching unlimited for just $30 AND bringing back Rick Moranis. Suck it, 2020. pic.twitter.com/N1sl7mYchF

Twitter agreed:
Rick Moranis appearing in a random commerical, however silly it may seem, feels like a damn good omen for the rest of the year. I don't make the rules. https://t.co/9M6XcUrIYQ

Rick Moranis not acting in years and then popping up in cell phone commercial for Ryan Reynolds is definitely one way to start the morning https://t.co/bU8bCbBymj

I don't care if I'm helping to sell something about which I know nothing, it's good to see Rick Moranis. https://t.co/XPKH2Ae77o

RICK MORANIS!!!
*(if you're young and don't know who that is… look up who that is. Yes, he's another comedian from the 80s and 90s your parents are obsessed with, but like… ALL of his movies are good and hold up and he rules) https://t.co/npKC4V8BNu
