Resurfaced Video Of Jason Ritter Retching While Cleaning Out His Fridge Has Fans LOLing Hard

Screenshots from Jason Ritter's vintage TikTok video

Back in 2022 while his wife, actor Melanie Lynskey, was away, Ritter decided it was a good time to throw out some salad greens that had gone bad—but he didn't anticipate just how revolted he would be.

Jason Ritter's public service announcement about tossing rotten perishables from the fridge continues to leave fans in stitches, even though it was posted on TikTok two years ago.

Ritter, who is the son of late Three's Company actor John Ritter, is an established actor himself, famous for his work in TV shows like Joan of Arcadia and Parenthood and movies like Swimfan and Frozen II.


In the vintage clip posted on December 3, 2022, the 44-year-old was readying the house for his wife, actor Melanie Lynskey, to come home.

He told followers while filming himself in the kitchen:

"You know that feeling when your wife's coming back in town today and you're so excited...and it's like, 'Let me just clean out the fridge and make sure that nothing's gone bad."

As he removed certain items from the fridge, nothing could prepare him, and the viewers, for the olfactory assault to come.

Ritter took one whiff of the just-opened bag of expired arugula and had an intense reaction.

He repeatedly dry-heaved from the rotting smell while trying to verbalize:

"The arugula's gone bad."

When he tried to repeat himself to drive the point home, he could barely finish saying the word, "arugula."

Warning: May nauseate you.

I’m so sorry about everything about this


He proceeded to rummage around for more produce wasting away in the fridge, continuing his valiant mission.

Ritter subjected his nose to the dreaded smell test with a bag of kale, which passed the still-fresh test, and a package of mixed baby spinach and arugula, which was a miserable failure.

"She doesn't need to see this," said Ritter, referring to Lynskey, but added that the clip was meant for our eyes only. Umm, thanks?

He concluded the presentation with:

"Eat your food in your fridge."

Noted.

Cut to March 17, 2024.

The video resurfaced on X (formerly Twitter), in which user @wyntermitchell shared, "We've watched this like 70 times," followed by eight crying laughing emojis.

To which Ritter responded by indicating a new phobia was unlocked.

"This is how I learned about emetophobia!" he proclaimed.

Emetophobia is a phobia described as fear or anxiety around the act of vomiting.

People with emetophobia are repulsed by seeing others get sick or nauseated. Even the word "vomit" can be triggering.

For that, Ritter apologized to viewers of his resurfaced clip with a nervous laugh emoji.

Fans and his Hollywood peers were howling at the clip and simultaneously got low-key queasy.





Ritter's hilarious clip also resonated with fans of his father, John Ritter, who was as much of a brilliant physical comic as he was a likable personality.


The person who shared Ritter's 2022 clip was blown away by their post going viral and thanked the actor for "giving this LIFE!"

To which Ritter replied:

"Thank you for sharing it!!"

This will never get old. But your arugula will if it's left in the fridge way past the expiration date.

So thanks for the reminder, Jason.

No, really.
