Oh my goodness! Here we are again.
Hey guys, I'm Grace.
I am Mamrie, and today this might get selfish.
June 21 is Selfie Day.
That's cool.
Give us one day a year where we don't feel like just completely vain for posting a selfie on Instagram.
They're part of our culture. It's a word that like my mom
uses like in conversation. It's bizarre.
Oh you think once it's reached like mom vernacular that it's world-wide?
Yeah, when my mom normalizes it in conversation, that's when I feel like oh, no.
Does Theresa ever send you selfies?
Oh, yeah. (Mamrie) Really?!
She sent us a selfie of her buying three DVDs of
"Dirty Thirty" at Target, and she's literally in her car holding all three DVDs [(Mamrie) Yes] and taking a selfie.
And I was like, my mom is a millennial.
FUN FACTS
Well, selfies aren't just something that have popped up recently with like forward facing cameras. (Grace) Right.
The oldest selfie recorded happened in 1839. (Grace) How?
Robert Cornelius was a chemist and photography enthusiast,
and he set up a camera in the back part of his store, removed the lens cap,
and then you just ran into frame.
And it says it took about one minute, and then on the
photographer's back side of the photo he said, "first light picture ever taken".
It's 175 years old.
Also he's not a bad-looking guy.
I was gonna say, he looks good.
Yeah, like, I would be taking selfies too if I looked like that.
Yeah, if my hair was that windswept, of course.
Yeah, everybody else has the plague, and you're crushing it. [Grace laughs]
Kim Kardashian has coined this phrase, "plandids": the planned candid.
it's not about - she coined the selfie took it like ownership of that whole regime, and now she is
announced that selfies are no longer the thing. Plandids are the new thing.
I hate the word plandid.
But you're gonna be using it by the end of this year so normally.
I cannot wait.
[both laugh]
We thought that we would actually put our plandids
and selfie abilities to the test, because we do take a lot of pictures of ourselves. (Grace) Yes
and recreating them.
Yeah in a game we call first [(Mamrie) Let's take a-] let me take a selfie.
(Mamrie) I'm sorry. (Grace) It's okay.
Want to do it again?
In a game that we like to call, "But first, (both) let me take a selfie"
Okay this game, "But first let me take a selfie" is basically a challenge for us to recreate some iconic photos.
We have basically a two-second timer on our camera
to see if we can see the photo and recreate it as closely as possible.
All right, so let's do this. [bell rings]
Okay, I'm gonna try the first one. If it's one person, I'll take it. If it's two, you know what to do?
Okay
Here we go
(Mamrie) Oh, easy
(Grace) Oh god
Thank god I had years of ballet.
Next one.
Ooh oh girl
(anguished cry) No! Did I even hit the timer?
I don't think I did.
(off camera) You did, you did. (both) oh okay
Look I'm wearing the same pants as her, too
You look great. (Grace) Thank you.
If it gets more physical than this, I'm [bleep].
You can do it.
Oh! Oh, I'll take, I'll take Kate!
(Grace) Why, I mean... (Mamrie) You didn't look just at me like you'd just fallen in love?
No, I yeah, I forgot, I was, sorry, looking at how demure and young they look.
Oh, I didn't close my eyes. (Grace) Ah, where was your shawl?
And, go
Oh oh I'm
(both laugh)
In your face DaVinci or somebody?
(Grace) I don't know, my mom had this [(Mamrie) Michelangelo?] (Grace) painting over her bed. It was weird.
(Mamrie) Oh. I'm the heart, I'm the heart
(Grace) What the [bleep] is this?
Oh, you're... it's Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Kappa.
Oh I was like, "why do we hire interns that are in a gang?"
I don't know.
Jump in my arms!
(strained squeal)
Why did we do it that way? (Grace) I don't know.
Oh my gosh, okay.
Perfect. I think we crushed it. We're definitely as adorable as Michael's daughter.
One, two, three, go.
Gah, she looks like a baked potato.
She looks like the leg from A Christmas Story.
The leg lamp.
And, go.
Yeah. That's all you, boo. I got weak knees, I got bad knees, I got bad knees
Now I think we should see the fruits of our labor and see how close we got.
Now we need to review the art that we just created.
You know what it feels like? (Grace) What?
It feels like when you would take selfies in college,
and then you'd have to go get the film developed in the disposable camera.
Wow, I think we got pretty darn close.
My *beep* look good.
You have an angle, that is for sure, and I could not get out of frame in time.
(Grace laughs)
Okay, here's the romance.
Oh my
I mean, I'm looking at you almost exactly how Leo was looking at Kate.
This would definitely inspire a Celine Dion song.
Oh, yeah. (Mamrie) We're the heart of the ocean because we've hit the bottom.
Yep. Okay, your mother's favorite. (Grace) My mother's favorite. Let's see if we nailed it.
Let's see if she could put this above her bed
(hysterical laughter)
It looks like, it looks like an arch angel is tattling on one of the other arch angels
like, "he did it" (Mamrie) He's the one, he's the one.
Oh, absolutely. How did this girl not get into a sorority?
Oh it's identical.
We look like we're about to go in and like change our first diaper.
(Grace laughs)
[to Matt] Is this your dog or just *a* dog?
Matt: My parents' dog.
Your parents' dog? Okay, so you know this dog.
Matt: I do. Very well.
Let's see how we did.
I could tell because that dog has a definite sense of trust in those arms. (Grace) and comfort.
Ready? (Grace) Mhm
Oh, yeah. Totally.
Absolutely.
I mean, you look like you're wasted, and I'm like just keeping you up trying to get you into an Uber
Or this is our WWE, like, headlock.
Oh, totally.
Oh, no, yeah we definitely just didn't even get near close to it. (Grace) Didn't get... huh.
But I mean (Mamrie) didn't do Evan any justice.
but you have the half-up half-down kind of hair working in your favor so, (Mamrie) oooh (Grace) there we go.
Oh yeah, oh truly.
Mamrie! You look like you're in The Matrix dodging bullets right now.
(Grace laughing) and I'm giving an invisible *beep* I guess, I don't know.
Yeah, you're giving an invisible *beep* and I'm saying I don't want it, I don't want it.
Yep, there they are. [(Mamrie) A hundred percent.] There they are.
We know Victoria's Secret. We're not an angel.
Oh! And then here's the jumping photo.
The last one.
Crushed it. I still can't get out of frame.
You still just see my butt.
This is a really fun game.
I like this game a lot. Great job, Diane
Yeah, I think we took some selfies and we celebrated Selfie Day.
I mean, we just need to be single so these can be our new dating profile photos.
I mean, if anyone wants to paint any of these on the Sistine Chapel, you have our permission.
blah blow
Grace, who do we have a gratitude problem with today?
Today it comes from @MOTPROPRE and they say,
"This pottery project turned out a bit wonky while trimming, but the paint job is inspired by the This Might Get set"
"and I'm inspired by Grace and Mametown everyday."
"She was made to hold a drink, but will probably end up holding a fake plant. Seems fitting."
This is awesome. (Mamrie) I want two of those to be our like set coffee cups.
I would love that.
Thank you so much for this. This is so awesome.
If you guys wanna be featured in an upcoming Gratitude Problem segment,
make any sort of art that you're inspired by at all.
I mean the world is your oyster.
