Ryan Reynolds may look better than us while attempting the daunting task of Ikea furniture assembly , but that doesn't mean he knows how to do it better.

A new video, released in conjunction with an interview for GQ , shows the actor as he tries to put together an Ikea crib (presumably for his and Blake Lively's daughter , James). As anyone who has ever tried to put together, well, anything from Ikea knows, it's no small feat.

Hilarity quickly ensues as Reynolds becomes more restless, cracking open a few beers and admitting his troubles to a customer service representative. "Besides a slow descent into alcoholism, I'm just really having trouble finding all the screws and the pieces that go with it, I mean there's gotta be over 100,000 pieces that came with it. I'm just wondering if there's a representative, or five, that could come over and make this happen for me," he said.

He finally resorts to using duct tape and the cushions from his couch to get the job done.

Check out the LOL-worthy video below, and next time you feel bad about your inability to put that dresser together, remember, not even The Green Lantern can do it.
