Heavy/HGTV/YouTube Ty Pennington
HGTV star Ty Pennington is known for having a laugh in any and all circumstances, and the “Rock the Block” host isn’t afraid to bring his comedic stylings to fans on social media. That’s just what Pennington did in a February 23 Instagram reel.
“Get in loser, we’re going shopping!” Pennington wrote, quoting “Mean Girls” in his video’s caption. The clip included shots of Pennington, dressed in white joggers and a matching headband, a cropped blue hoodie, a black fanny pack around his shoulder, and carrying a large Stanley cup. The HGTV host is seen strutting into a store and filming selfie videos on his phone in a parody of Gen Z, with Pennington including the hashtags “#bigdumbcup #stanleycup #genz #amidoingthisright #reels” in his caption.

Ty Pennington is Gearing Up for New ‘Rock the Block’
While Pennington is having fun on his social media page, he is also gearing up for the season 5 premiere of “Rock the Block”, the fan-favorite renovation competition show that Pennington hosts. This season, which is taking place in Treasure Island, Florida, HGTV is bringing back four teams — Keith Bynum and Evan Thomas from “Bargain Block”, Lyndsay Lamb and Leslie Davis from “Unsellable Houses”, Page Turner and Mitch Glew from “Fix My Flip”, and Bryan and Sarah Baeumler from “Renovation Island” — who are looking at a shot at redemption after missing out on the win during their original seasons.
Pennington shared a teaser for the new season, the series’ first to take place along the waterfront, in a February 27 post. “🚨 🚨 THIS MONDAY 🚨 🚨 Mark your calendars my friends! #RockTheBlock is BACK 🥳 🥳 This season, the gloves are off and the competition is fierce! 😳 🔥 Don’t miss it,” Pennington wrote in his caption.
