This is something I’ve been wondering lately. I’m not even joking. Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t like Ryan Gosling? There has to be, right? It’s a big world! So many people. But I have yet to meet or even hear of someone who didn’t find his lazy, doe-eyed performances charming and compelling. Sure, The Notebook was a piece of shit, but it wasn’t his fault. I’ve been watching All Good Things this week (it usually takes me about a week to watch a movie because apparently I like to really appreciate them the way they were meant to be seen: in 15 minute chunks at lunch) and it’s very good. I mean, I’m not done (classic) but it’s been great so far. Blue Valentine was very good, and his performance in it was very good. And I’m very much looking forward to Drive. It looks great! Oh yeah, people like him in interviews, too. Let’s not forget interviews. He took his dog on Jimmy Fallon. Here’s a picture of him and his dog. Cute dog. He’s a good sport when it comes to pranks. This is a photo of Ryan Gosling feeding a baby on the set of some movie he’s currently filming called The Place Behind the Pines. He has stupid looking blonde hair and a FACE TATTOO and he is staring out a little bit like someone who has the capacity to both feed a baby and be a murderer and he is not even talking or doing anything and yet look at him: TOTALLY LIKABLE! I’m not even asking if there’s anyone who HATES Ryan Gosling. I just want to know if there’s anyone who doesn’t LIKE him. Well?
Obviously, there must be a scientific answer to this question, and so, after the jump, I have included a statistically infallible poll to determine the verifiable reality of the situation:
Let’s get to the bottom of this important question. For science. (Image via Dlisted.)

As far as I know, it’s only this fucking asshole:

His taste in Goslings is only exceeded by his ability to post quality pictures.
once again facetaco you win my readers choice, you’re totally our generations steve winwood
I dont like this man
You’d have to admit he’s pretty for a dude, though.
Dude, he’s pretty for an upright vertebrate. But the question is, can he and Justin Timberlake at a young age do a freestyle rap and dance at the same ti— Dammit.
“mailman” should change his name to “CREEPY man” yuck
Listen, Google Images is the real Chris Hansen pervert here. I type Ryan Gosling Sexy Dance (it was in my saved common searches obviously) and all of a sudden it’s all Ryan Gosling Boy-on-Boy Child Dance. Maybe YOU ALL are the creeps for looking? Yeah! Why don’t you have a seat over there, right next to THAT mirror I just held up
I predict a sizable, but ultimately doomed write-in campaign for “yes”.
This country will never get anywhere as long as we’re beholden to this one-party system
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in a movie and don’t really know who he is.
i want chocolate horse’s head on a stick!!! [wrapped in plastic and tied with a little ribbon, sitting in a jar by the register of the place i intend to eat lunch at.]
I mean, I don’t DISLIKE RyGos, but I’m not in love with him. I guess you could argue that a world without RyGos, that is someone’s nightmare.
Wait, that’s not Draco Malfoy?
its like people that watch CBS, Dane Cook fans, or people from North Dakota…i’m sure there are millions of them, but I’ve never actually met one.
There’s actually only like 7 people from North Dakota, so its not surprising that you havent met one.
Let us just say that, for the sake of a throwback, Ryan Gosling is top amongst the many things that turn Soft Gabe into Hard Gabe.
I feel pretty indifferent towards him. As far as I can remember, I have only seen him in the Notebook and Blue Valentine. I did not hate or love either movie.
He seems ok, but I wouldn’t run out to see a movie just because he is in it.
Wasn’t he in the Mickey Mouse Club as a child?
And one of the most important contributions to television canon, Breaker High. IT IS ABOUT A HIGH SCHOOL ON A BOAT. It is amazing.
What is with all these people who have never seen Breaker High??
I have never even heard of Breaker High! But I will be searching for it on youtube when I get home from work.
High school on a boat?!? Thanks for the heads up LBT and Gobblegirl.
More like Aryan Gosling.
Anyone remember “The Believer”?
I was thinkin the same thing. Bad movie IMO!
I have a feeling he’s going to experience a James Franco scenario where his overexposure leads to a general audience burnout. Blue Valentine, All Good Things, Drive, CSL (that’s what we call it at the coffee shop), The Ides of March … that’s a lot of movies to do in just two years! So many movies. And yes they’ve all received good to great reviews and sure people love him NOW, but it’s like the old saying goes: ‘People love their heroes, but they love it even more when their heroes fall.’ I think that’s a saying from ‘The Dark Knight’.
Anyway, he’s a very attractive man and I hope he doesn’t receive a Franco-esque backlash. That would be dumb, as truth be told it bums me out how Franco gets a bum rap (bum used twice). They both seem affable and cool, leave the Hollyweirds alone, groundlings.
A similar warning goes out to Emma Stone. Emma, love ya, but you’re everywhere! People have short attention spans and they’ll get angry at you, so maybe start wearing masks. #AfterMASK
I think they are headed more down the Natalie Portman path. Can’t wait to see who knocks up Gosling.
Someone’s gotta do it, so it might as well be me.
“that Gosling is some kind of something!”
“Boy this Gosling is all anybody’s ever talking about”
“I’m so sick and tired of hearing about how brilliant that Gosling is!”
“Over-rated!”
Ladies and gentlemen, the Internet personified.
Not true. I see the Internet naked all the time!
The “No” vote is at 100 percent, but let’s wait till the Waukesha votes come in before we declare it the winner.
Too soon
I wasn’t sure how many people would even get the reference. Sorry. :-/
I grew up in the very suburb in which that fraud keeps happening. It was a horrible experience.
Anyone else click “View Results” first to make sure they went with the majority?

Am I the only one who does not understand where all the Ryan Gosling OMFG OMFG OMFG thing is coming from? Can someone explain to me how/where this started? Also the hey girl meme? (This is just asking for a sarcastic response, I know.)
I don’t know where it’s all coming from, unless it started when the Notebook came out. I did appreciate the interviews where they made him read the “hey girl” memes.
I’d just like to say that I’ve loved Ryan Gosling since that whole drinking microwaved Haagen Dazs thing went down. Like casual insanity is a lil bit hot. It’s why people like Jesse Eisenberg, right? http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/12/after_melting_haagen_dazs_and.html
I don’t know how serious your request for information was, but whatever! The “Hey Girl” meme started on fuckyeahryangosling, some tumblr started by a person who enjoys Gosling about two years ago. At first she just started posting pictures of him, then started writing macros, and the “Hey Girl” one she first did caught on and was reblogged and then people started writing their own to submit. And that’s all she wrote.
I don’t even like Ryan Gosling I just like memes. I wish I could get some college credit by taking a test all “This meme: explain”. I would be on that.
I was serious in my questions and I actually wanted to know the answer to that one more than any of them, since if kind of answers all the other questions i asked anyways. I tried googling it the other day but got nothing, not even anything on knowyourmeme, which usually has the answers to these things. hayzaay 1, google 0, I guess. Thanks.
Real Americans, since he’s Canadian and thus a socialist because science
Who is Ryan Gosling?
Sounds like you’re ready for the “Greatest Hunks of Our Time” Jeopardy category.
Ryan Gosling is a sexual robot sent back in time to change the future for all the ladies.
“Hey girl, the fact that people don’t like me means that there’s more Gosling for you. Wait, oh…”
George Clooney clearly abstained….
with water…
he stained his abs with water….
with a spray bottle….
as a prank…
Ryan Gosling had me at Half Nelson and then cemented the man crush with Lars and the Real Girl. Home slice is a very good actor.
There was a time when I didn’t like him because I thought he might be just a little bit racist. But then he won me over when he realized that Petey was better and he gave up his spot in the defensive backfield and helped the Titans win the championship. I’ve been cool with him ever since.
Oh yeah he’s been on my radar ever since that little dance he did in that one scene… he’s bulked up considerably since then
Can someone please talk about Breaker High with me? I feel like no one else in the world remembers it and I know I didn’t dream up a show about RyGos going to high school on a cruise ship!
Someone help me validate the fact that I used brain cells to remember this madness.
Yes I remember Seandezvous. Did only Canadians get it? I feel as though nobody ever talks about Breaker High anymore, except that North of the border it’s pretty much ALL we ever talk about. Recent conversation I overheard once at a local bus stop:
Guy 1: “Breaker High?”
Mounted Policeman: “Yup.”
No way, I talk about Breaker High all the time! Canadians are awesome at making TV, though Degrassi can have a million teen pregnancies & it still wouldn’t live up to BH’s awesomeness.
“Actually I think you’re wrong about that”
Touche! But also kind of not touche. Degrassi is amazing, don’t get me wrong. But there was something so perfect about BH’s too-bright colors, unattractive cast, bizarre sexual tension & overall hilariousness. It was so short-lived that it captured that magic & maintained consistent awesomeness (whereas Degrassi has been through some ROUGH patches).
“I still kind of disagree”
Seriously though, both are good. One is better. Can’t we just Agree to Degrassi?
Yes OK. At the end of the day, Ryan Gosling is no Yick.
I may not have seen Breaker High, but I have spent many late nights watching Degrassi on the N, although now I think it’s called Teen Nick or something.
I had only seen the new generation (I am way too old to be watching this by the way) but for a while they were showing the original too. In fact, that station was pretty great for late night background noise – Dawson’s Creek, the show with the lady from Full House and the guy from True Blood, Radio Free Roscoe, and a bunch of really shitty shows that I have now seen every episode of – Moesha, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Degrassi.
You caved way too quickly bananab0at…I mean, there are literally hundreds of characters whose images I could have kept posting with captions saying variations of “Nuh uh” and I was prepared to do that pretty much as long as I could keep remembering character’s names.
I loved Breaker High so much. It was magical, and I will not hear of anyone besmirching its good name.
YES!
It was THE show to watch in 1997, and I love it still.
Canada everybody!
I don’t think that baby likes him very much. There is a lot of mutual contempt going on in that photo.
“yes, me.” – baby answering to gabe’s question, silently resenting ryan’s unique sideways bottle-feeding manoeuvring.
He started to get real annoying by the end of Breaker High. Stop yer smirkin’ already!
He is unbelievably hot and a largely inoffensive, borderline very good actor! There is no reason to dislike him. Is he playing a punk or a hick that works at a autobody shop in this film he is currently making? Because if he is playing a punk HE JUST GOT SO MUCH MORE LOVABLE.
I dislike him, pretty intensely. I don’t think he’s attractive at all, he’s too damn precious and twee, and only a passable actor. Actually, I find him a little creepy.
I am on team Gosling. First off, Breaker High. Second off, The Adventures of Young Hercules. Third off, goslings are adorable, even if they do grow up to be evil creatures of the damned. RGos is destined to be the best. It is science!*
*I may or may not know how science works.
Ok, that was not supposed to be a reply. I think my computer is trying to foster a debate here. Sorry Natasha, my computer is being a weiner.
An Anthony Weiner?
We should add Dead Man’s Bones to the likeble things this man does. It’s actually a pretty cool album.
That album is seriously delightful & I like him more b/c he didn’t care to promote it. And he was really cute with those kids. Ugh great I’m back in love with Ryan Gosling.
Yes! I love Dead Man’s Bones! DMB, and his dog, really took him from ‘meh’ to ‘sigh’ for me.
For a long time when I was growing up, he lived near my Grandma’s house in my hometown. I would hear about what a jerk he was and how he got beat up all the time in highschool, so I instinctively disliked him for years.
Then he just kept making good movies and being really good in those movies, and I had to come to grips with the fact that I don’t hate Ryan Gosling and that the highschool kids in my hometown were and always will be jerks, so why the hell was I even listening to them in the first place?!
Did he at least sign your yearbook? (Please say yes. Please say yes.)
Nope.
As a woman, I do not find him attractive. (Sorry, other ladies!) As a human, I think he is a decent actor and seems like a good sport, which is more than I can say about most celebrities…
Gabe I want to upvote your survey humor to infinity. TBS very funny.
Meh. The only thing I’ve ever seen him in was Remember the Titans (but that was 100 years ago) and the internet. But mainly the Videogum part of the internet.
I feel like Videogum may be lobbying for Big Ryan Gosling, because he wouldn’t even occur to me as much as he does (very little) if it weren’t for this site.
Gay for Gosling.
I am serious about this. He’s the only dude I’ve ever looked at and thought ‘I would actually like to kiss him’. Just to see what would happen.
do you want to go on a date with me?
Amazing actor!
Wait. People think All Good Things is a good movie?
I don’t know you guys. Beheading Ned Stark was kind of a dick move. #trendingnow
I don’t care about Ryan Gosling enough to like or dislike him.
He needs to calm down on constantly being in things. He’s getting dangerously close to becoming overexposed.
I wouldn’t kick him out of bed.
