AdMob Interstitial Ad never becoming "ready"

I'm using Xcode 7.3, Swift, SpriteKit, and AdMob. I'm attempting to display an Interstitial ad, but no matter how long I wait the request is never filled and self.interstitial.isReady always is false. Here is my code:

import UIKit
import SpriteKit
import GoogleMobileAds

class GameViewController: UIViewController {

    var interstitial = GADInterstitial(adUnitID: "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910")

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        let request = GADRequest()
        // Requests test ads on test devices.
        request.testDevices = ["2077ef9a63d2b398840261c8221a0c9b"]
        self.interstitial.loadRequest(request)
        }
    func displayAd() {
        print(self.interstitial.isReady)
        if self.interstitial.isReady {
            self.interstitial.presentFromRootViewController(self)
        }
    }
}

In another swift file I'm calling GameViewController().displayAd(). This always prints false since interstitial.isReady is never true. *A possible problem - I might be using the wrong test adUnitId or the request.testDevices is not being set to the correct thing.

Why is it that this request wont fill?

For those reading this at a later time I fixed it, there were two problems:

I'm not using an actualy Ad, so request.testDevices should not be set to anything

Additionally, when I call GameViewController().displayAd(), I'm making a new instance of GameViewController, and it has to be the original. To avoid this I made a variable that referenced GameViewController's self, then did variable.displayAd()
