Ty Pennington has been embracing his silly side with some hilarious Instagram videos — and this time, it’s in honor of his friend Mike Holmes’s birthday!
On Monday, the carpenter, who is best known for his time onTrading Spacesand as the host ofExtreme Makeover: Home Edition, shared anInstagram Reelof himself lying on a daybed wearing nothing but a flame-printed black Speedo and a few chain necklaces. “That one time for Mike Holmes' birthday,” he wrote, with a laugh-crying emoji.
“Let me tell you something, it’s pretty hot down here as well,” Pennington continued. He then began saying “happy birthday” again, but the person filming the video — presumably his now-wife, Kellee Merrell — burst out laughing, causing him to laugh as well and ruin the take.
“Hilarious!” wrote Dave Marrs ofFixer to Fabulous, while Brett Tutor, who starred alongside Pennington onTrading Spaces, wrote, “The year of the TIGER,” referencing Pennington’s orange and black briefs.
Holmes also commented on the post, simply adding three laugh-crying emojis.
Earlier this month, Pennington poked fun of himself while showing off his sexy side with another Instagram Reel, this one in honor of Valentine’s Day.
In the video, Pennington playfully made an array of silly poses for the camera while hanging out on the beach, first seen walking slowly towards the camera with a sultry look on his face before laying in the sand.

“I know Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Let’s not forget that loving YOURSELF is the most important of all,” Pennington captioned the clip, adding the hashtag, “#selflovesunday.”
This Valentine’s Day was his first as husband and wife with his new bride, Merrell.
Pennington and Merrell, 33 — a social media manager originally from Vancouver —wedin November in a tiny ceremony with just eight guests in Savannah, Georgia. The intimate “I dos” and the reception took place in a setting befitting handyman Pennington’s career:the 19th-century home they’re restoring together.

They reconnected in early 2020 and decided to quarantine together amid the COVID-19 pandemic, during which their relationship blossomed.
“I have admired Kellee from afar for years. She’s a beautiful person inside and out,” Pennington told PEOPLE exclusively after the engagement. “Luckily our paths finally crossed at the right time. It’s one of those things where you just feel happy being around a person. I never thought I would get married, but she changed that. Glad I waited for the one.”
