Ryan George is a Canadian writer, actor, and comedian, born on June 21, 1989, who is well-known for his work on the Screen Rant YouTube channel and his self-titled comedy channel. He created his first channel, "oldPod," on December 11, 2008, and his first video, "oldPod," the following day.
Ryan is also a co-founder of the sketch comedy channel "Moving Mind Studio," where he and his partners created viral videos such as "Magic School Bus: The Movie Trailer" and "Shit Guys Don't Say Out Loud." Their most recent uploads have been part of their "Explaining to an Alien" web series, produced by Just for Laughs.
On his personal channel, Ryan creates short skits where he often talks to himself as another character, using glasses, fake mustaches, and hats to distinguish between characters. His humor tends to lean towards the observational, deconstructing unquestioned aspects of everyday life. He usually plays multiple roles in his videos and has started a series called "The First Guy," looking at the supposed origins of basic things that people often take for granted.
In November 2017, Ryan launched the series "Pitch Meetings" with Screen Rant, where he plays a screenwriter and a movie producer, comedically summarizing movies and TV shows by "pitching" ideas to a studio executive. The series was successful, and the channel rose in popularity as a result.
The series has many running jokes and catchphrases, such as "Super easy, barely an inconvenience" and "(blank) is tight," as well as "I don't know" and "whoops, whoopsie." Ryan also created the TV show "Campus Law" with his Moving Mind Studio partners, produced by Kevin Hart for the Laugh Out Loud Network.
Ryan's popular series include "Pitch Meetings," "Theory Battle," and "ADstronaut," where he makes sponsors funny by making jokes or references. He also has series on his personal channel, such as "The First Guy" and "90s Talk Show," as well as random videos that pile jokes and references on his audience.
