Watch the Ricky Stanicky trailer for the upcoming R-rated comedy starring John Cena, Zac Efron, Jermaine Fowler, Andrew Santino, Lex Scott Davis, Anja Savcic, Jeff Ross, and William H. Macy.
Amazon MGM Studios’ Ricky Stanicky revolves around a childhood prank gone wrong and a decades-long lie that has gone too far. It is directed by Peter Farrelly with a screenplay by Jeff Bushell and Brian Jarvis & James Lee Freeman & Peter Farrelly & Pete Jones & Mike Cerrone.
When three childhood best friends pull a prank gone wrong, they invent the imaginary Ricky Stanicky to get them out of trouble! Twenty years after creating this ‘friend,’ Dean, JT, and Wes (Zac Efron, Andrew Santino, and Jermaine Fowler) still use the nonexistent Ricky as a handy alibi for their immature behavior. When their spouses and partners get suspicious and demand to finally meet the fabled Mr. Stanicky, the guilty trio decide to hire washed-up actor and raunchy celebrity impersonator "Rock Hard" Rod (John Cena) to bring him to life. But when Rod takes his role of a lifetime too far, they begin to wish they’d never invented Ricky in the first place.
Ricky Stanicky will premiere globally on Prime Video on March 7, 2024.

00:02 Stenicky, what up, man?
00:04 Are you serious?
00:05 I have someone call me when you get out of surgery, alright?
00:07 You should drive out there.
00:08 Ricky's been there for you guys your whole lives.
00:10 The demos and the details, my friend.
00:12 It worked!
00:13 Atlantic City, here we come.
00:14 What we got?
00:15 Ricky's cancer's back.
00:16 Why does it have to be cancer?
00:17 Won't everybody get worried?
00:18 Yeah, and that's gonna take us right into the World Series.
00:21 [music]
00:24 To Ricky Stenicky.
00:26 The best friend we never had.
00:28 [music]
00:30 My baby's gonna be born six weeks early.
00:32 I was born six weeks early.
00:33 Oh, shit!
00:34 I wanna know where the hell you guys were tonight.
00:37 We called every hospital and there was no record of a Ricky Stenicky.
00:41 You know, all we did was tell one lie.
00:43 Hundreds and hundreds of times over many, many years.
00:45 If the truth does come out, my marriage is over.
00:47 What if we hire an actor to play Stenicky?
00:51 Rock, hard, rod.
00:53 X-rated, rock and roll, impersonated.
00:55 I do a whole act.
00:56 Wall to wall, top to bottom, just jams.
00:58 Thanks for coming out tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
01:00 So horny to be here.
01:01 This is a really bad idea.
01:03 [gagging]
01:05 Oh, Jesus.
01:06 I've been cold turkeying the booze.
01:07 Ricky Stenicky's in the program, remember?
01:09 Oh, rod.
01:10 It's not what you think it is.
01:12 It's just piss.
01:13 I'm a hyper every time, not my mother.
01:15 I want you to admit that Ricky Stenicky does not exist.
01:18 Hey, my spookah!
01:21 Stenicky!
01:22 [cheering]
01:24 This is Ted Summerhays, my boss.
01:25 Ted, nice to meet you.
01:26 Dig in the suit and the seedlings, man.
01:27 The seedlings.
01:28 The hair plugs are new, right?
01:30 This is my hair.
01:31 We're going to lose our jobs.
01:32 [music playing]
01:35 Epic night, am I right, guys?
01:37 [music playing]
01:40 I was really taken with your friend Stenicky.
01:43 He's got brass balls on him, that guy.
01:47 That's why I hired him.
01:48 That's awesome.
01:49 You just said-- what did you say?
01:52 Just say it one more time.
01:53 We can't let him out of our sight.
01:54 Not only did I miss the birth of my son,
01:55 but I let some poor old Peter Frampton impersonator
01:57 snip his--
01:58 And we're done.
01:59 Stenicky, you are unbelievable.
02:01 Show's over, Rod.
02:02 It's Ricky.
02:03 Ricky Stenicky isn't real.
02:05 My job sucked.
02:06 I had no friends.
02:07 But now I have all those things.
02:08 Ow!
02:09 Are you a fraud, sir?
02:11 What is she talking about?
02:12 [music playing]
02:15 We've got to get rid of him.
02:17 Every time he tries to make a point,
02:19 it's like he's smoking invisible dogs.
02:21 Dear God, it's true.
02:22 To support--
02:23 Now it looks like I'm cupping the balls.
02:26 (upbeat music)
02:28 you
