No, I didn't see Mean Girls 10 years ago when it first came out. I do remember it popping up in all of the little pre-tween magazines that I used to hoard, but I never saw it until it popped up on TV one day in 2007. I recorded it off the TV on one of those gigantic fossils we used to call videotapes. Unfortunately, the first three minutes cut out of my recording, so I never saw those first three minutes until I bought it on DVD a year later. Yet, I didn't need those three minutes. Mean Girls was, and forever will be, my favourite high school comedy of all time. Hell, probably even my favourite comedy of all time. Why?
Because 7 years since I first saw it, I'm pretty positive there hasn't been a day go by that I haven't quoted it in some way. Like seriously, there is a quote for every life situation:
When someone does well with something: "You go, Glen Coco!"
When someone asks someone else why they're white: "Oh my god Karen, you can't just ask people why they're white."
When you're a mother: "I'm not like a regular mom, I'm a cool mom."
When it's raining: "There's a 30% chance that it's already raining!"
When you don't want to go out with someone: "I can't go out *fake coughs* I'm sick."
When someone annoys you: "Boo, you whore."
Possible valedictory speech: "I'm sorry that people are so jealous of me...but I can't help it that I'm so popular."
When needing to do a rap: "Yo yo yo all you sucker MC's ain't got nothing on me! From my grades, to my lines you can't touch Kevin G! I'm a mathlete, so nerd is inferred, but forget what you heard I'm like James Bond the third, sh-sh-sh-shaken not stirred - I'm Kevin Gnapoor! The G's silent when I sneak through your door. And make love to your woman on the bathroom floor. I don't play it like Shaggy, you'll know it was me. Cause the next time you see her she'll be like, OOH! KEVIN G!"
Literally the entire script is quotable. The entire thing.
