What makes this wholesome for me is that Ryan Reynolds + Aviation did a real solid for Monica Ruiz, the actress.
This ad allows Ruiz to have another role immediately after what would otherwise be a disastrous and potentially career killing role.

Reynolds and the staff of Aviation didn’t just make a one-note joke, they potentially saved Ruiz career.
