This is one of the more oddly, strangely touching things I've seen at Slate in awhile. So it makes sense that it would involve Ryan Gosling, I guess.

in 2013, Ryan McHenry created a Vine meme in which he holds a spoonful of cereal up to a TV with Ryan Gosling on it, and Gosling appears to be disdainful of the cereal, refusing to eat it. It was a weird, goofy, ridiculous little gag, that only got better the more McHenry went to it.

McHenry was diagnosed with osteosarcoma that same year, and this last Sunday, he died. Gosling heard about it, and paid tribute to the man with his own Vine.

I thought it was a pretty decent gesture to make.

[Astral/H3X]

Shame that he never got to see it, but still a kind gesture.

 

[Apt101]

That was good of him.

 

[spindashing]

Beautiful.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Salute. May he rest in peace.

 

[IDKAboutThat]

This story, for no reason, made me the happiest I've been all week. Just, we're all people I guess, you know?

 

[jmood88]

That was cool of him to do. RIP.

 

[Protag]

[Jane Mansfield]

Ryan Gosling, cool dude.

RIP Vine meme creator.

 

[Coolluck]

Ryan Gosling is an incredibly classy fellow. That should make the rest of us feel even worse about ourselves.

who the hell only eats that much cereal

 

[Prompto]

Cool of him to do this. 27 is way too young

 

[Davidfoundation]

I remember that vine it was pretty funny! Is I t also the same guy who did the "I have cancer vine with footage taken from only god forgives with Ryan saying "wanna fight?"

RIP

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

- Kelloggs spokemansman, probably.


When have you bastards had enough? you won't stop until we are all completely serialized.

 

[TimorousPanda]

What a nice gesture.

Condolences to the man's friends and family.

 

[Quick]

Real human being, real hero.

That was actually touching.

 

[sappyday]

Aww man I''m sad to hear what happened McHenry. I was just on his vine page like a week ago looking at his stuff. Very cool of Golsing. RIP.

I wish I knew of the vines beforehand. Really are hilarious. Actually, I think I saw somewhere else copying or spoofing them.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Ryan really is a hero / human bean

Very nice gesture from Gosling.

Wow, he's like an even more handsome Jamie Bamber.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Very nice gesture from Gosling.

Jesus. It is like the cousin of Jamie Bamber and Jamie Dornan

 

[Reverend Funk]

That's pretty good. What a cool dude.

 

[JBourne]

Wow.

Very nice of Gosling to do this. RIP to McHenry. That's a sad story.

 

[TheSeks]

Good guy Ryan Gosling.

Yeah, though he probably feels like a dick after that AMA and the original creator chiming in with a "forgive me" with a "No" a few weeks before the dude died.

Then again, I'm not sure if it's half-comedy or half-serious with that "no."

The hero we need ;_;

[captjohnboyd]

That's really cool of him.

On a side note I'd recognize that neon ball anywhere (behind him out the window). Harrah's New Orleans. Ryan, Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, and Steve Carell are all here in da Nola to film The Big Short about the financial collapse.

Now to just make sure my lovely girlfriend doesn't run into any of them out at the Saint or something

 

[LQX]

Hmm, I hate to be that guy but he abruptly stops chewing...it did not even look like he chewed to be honest, he just put it in his mouth and probably spit it it after. Regardless, great gesture. R.I.P

There's no way that "no" response isn't a joke, especially since the asking forgiveness is a joke in the first place.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Oh god. I hadn't see the full compilation. Some of those got amazing.

It's a great send off. If only he could have seen it.

 

[Demmi]

I almost wish he took it a step further and mimicked the style of the meme, but this is a great gesture.

 

[OraleeWey]

I think I've heard this before. Any idea possibly where? Hmm...could it been from The Believer (movie)?

It was in The Conjuring.

It was in The Conjuring.

Ayy M'Lao. Thanks for that.

 

[MMarston]

Feels like a sad but satisfying end to a TV show.


RIP to the creator of the gag.
