Reynolds posted the ad on Twitter with the cheeky caption, “Exercise bike not included,” and the audience loved this new take on the story. The commercial opens with the Peloton Girl—portrayed by actress Mia Sanders, who has made appearances in various TV shows—exhibiting the same puzzled expression from the original ad. However, it quickly expands to reveal that she’s out with two friends, who are looking at her with a mix of concern and amusement.
In a comedic turn, her friends seem quite uneasy, but the mood lightens when Peloton Girl takes a sip of gin and declares, “This gin is really smooth.” The friends enthusiastically agree and offer to fetch her another drink, assuring her, “You’re safe here.” Peloton Girl raises her glass to “new beginnings” and downs her drink in record time, prompting one friend to quip, “This is going to be a fun night. Here, drink this one, too.” A subtle detail shows she isn’t wearing her wedding ring, leaving viewers to speculate: Has she left her husband, or is this a pre-marriage scenario?
With Reynolds involved, you know the marketing will be top-notch. Last November, he ingeniously merged three different brands into one ad—a Netflix promotion for his film, “6 Underground”, within an Aviation Gin advertisement, all while showcasing a Samsung QLED TV. The comedic brilliance and Reynolds’ charm make it hard to resist what he’s selling.
Reynolds is also known for playfully teasing his wife, Emma Carter, on social media, and she often reciprocates. Whether he’s sharing unflattering photos of her for her birthday or joking about her driving him to the hospital during labor, he has a knack for endearing himself to fans. This Aviation Gin ad, which humorously rescues Peloton Girl from her awkward situation, is just another example of his wit.
The ad concludes with Peloton Girl’s supportive friend complimenting her, “You look great, by the way!” This reinforces the idea that we can always count on our friends, especially when our partners miss the mark on gifts and opt for exercise equipment instead. Here’s to hoping that her husband has either realized his blunder after watching her on the bike for a year or she’s enjoying gin-fueled nights out with her friends instead.
