Ryan is starring alongside Emily Blunt in The Fall Guy, a new action comedy loosely based on the 1980s TV series about stunt performers.

The Barbie star initially appeared on the premiere carpet in a bright, minty-green Gucci suit.

Then Ryan went away, and two SNL characters, who look very similar to the '90s cartoon characters Beavis and Butt-Head, appeared.

But they're not Beavis and Butt-Head.

They're Dean and Jeff.

Dean and Jeff appeared in an original sketch on April 13, during Ryan's third time hosting SNL.

The sketch, a town hall discussion on the dangers of artificial intelligence, also included Kenan Thompson and Heidi Gardner.

Once the two random audience members, Dean and Jeff, appeared, the sketch went off the rails.

Despite the obvious similarities, the SNL characters hilariously claimed they had no idea who Beavis or Butt-Head were.

Now, Dean and Jeff showed up at The Fall Guy premiere, utterly unaware of the film's stars, Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, as seen when they interrupted Emily's interview.

In the interrupted interview, both Dean and Jeff are consistent in that they still don't know who Beavis or Butt-Head are despite the comparisons.

Since Dean and Jeff (aka Ryan and Mikey) are receiving so much attention for being iconic sketch characters, it only makes sense that everyone is asking for a possible movie.
