Personal life

edit

Ryan Creamer was born in 1992 or 1993.[1] As a middle child, he grew up in Maryland with a large Irish Catholic family.[2] He graduated from Fordham University, having attended from 2010–2014,[3] and moved to Los Angeles in May 2019.[2]

Career

edit

Inspired by the work of The Lonely Island and CollegeHumor, Creamer first pursued working in comedy while a student at Fordham University, also taking classes with the Upright Citizens Brigade. While at Fordham, Creamer wrote freelance for CollegeHumor, he was hired as a staff writer in 2016,[3] and by 2024, was both a writer for Game Changer[4] and host for Thousandaires.[5] By October 2020, he hosted his own podcast, American Detour.[6]

Pornhub

edit

In October 2018, Creamer noticed a "work with us" link at the bottom of the pornography site Pornhub. Seeing the potential humor and an opportunity for exposure,[7] he created a performer account, and was soon a verified Pornhub model. For his first video on the site, "I Tuck You in After You Have Cum", Creamer is in "a Mr. Rogers-esque sweater and tie, sweetly throws a sheet and blanket toward the camera before kissing it goodnight".[1] First published on October 12, 2018,[6] by October 30, it had 1670 views and a 100-percent approval rating. The comedian made more subverted spins on pornographic video tropes.[1]

Creamer's videos, described as wholesome in media reports,[8][1][7][9][2] went viral on social media sites like Twitter and Reddit, from where they received hundreds of thousands of views. Some of his most-popular and well-received videos are "I Hug You and Say I Had a Really Good Time Tonight and Then I Go Home", "I, Your Step Brother, Decline Your Advances But Am Flattered Nonetheless", "I Ride in a Taxi and Don't Have Sex With the Driver", and "POV FOREHEAD KISS COMPILATION".[8] Creamer's videos have occasionally featured actual pornographic film actors in his videos—including Mia Malkova and Ginger Banks—and are inexpensive to produce, require little time, and are intentional in their amateurish aesthetic.[2]

Pornhub noted the popularity of Creamer's videos on their site, and recognized the performer with an early presentation of his Pornhub varsity jacket.[1] By May 2019, Creamer had earned enough through the company's advertising revenue sharing to pay his rent.[9] With his mother as his guest,[2] Creamer presented the award for "Best Male Pornstar" at the 2nd Pornhub Awards.[10] After two years on the site, Creamer announced his retirement from Pornhub on October 12, 2020. His final video was "The Money Shot", where he showed viewers a United States twenty-dollar bill before saying goodbye.[6]
