I don't know if anyone told you about me
I'm a new student here my name is Katie
here talk to me again and I'll kick your
ass you guys believe that Mean Girls
came out 11 years ago although maybe
someone should tell that to Lindsey
Lohan's face am i right
yeah yeah now that I'm looking at that
are we sure it's only been 11 years
well let's not dwell on a decade's worth
of poor choices and squandered
opportunities and let's dive into an
extra mean episode and rundown 7 things
you didn't know about me girls probably
there are no rules in this house not
like a regular mom I'm a cool mom
you know how Amy Poehler plays Regina
George's mom in the movie well you
probably didn't know that based on their
real-life ages Regina's mom is actually
only 7 years older than she is right
Regina please stop talking that's right
Amy Poehler and Rachel McAdams were and
actually still are only 7 years apart in
age Plus even though Regina and Katie
are in the same grade Rachel McAdams in
Lindsay Lohan are a full eight years
apart in age Lohan being the younger one
in this case which again is news we
seriously need to get to Lindsay Lohan's
face ASAP that is the ugliest effing
skirt I've ever seen hey here's the
thing you might not have known that's a
wig that's right Regina George's long
flaxen tresses are a wig which Rachel
McAdams wears for the entire film
McAdams his own hair was too short at
the time for what production needed and
more importantly what Regina needed hey
there is no shame in Regina's wig game
this is a very convincing hairpiece
unlike a lot of the ones we see in
Hollywood I'm talking to you John
Travolta
so fast Mean Girls has a lot of
similarities to other high school music
classics and one of the most obvious
ones is Heather's from 1988 grow up
Heather Helene is so 87 but most people
don't know that the relationship between
Mean Girls and Heather's is a fairly
literal one Mark Waters directed Mean
Girls while his brother Daniel waters
wrote Heather's so the next obvious step
is for them to do a mash-up sequel
together called moon Heather's to
electric Boogaloo sadly that obviously
will never happen but there is supposed
to be a Mean Girls Broadway musical in
the works so that's something Mean Girls
wound up with a pg-13 rating but it was
meant to be a lot raunchy er than it is
the filmmakers had to make a lot of
sacrifices with the script because the
MPAA gave him such a hard time for one
thing the line is your muffin buttered
was supposed to be much more risque and
much more on the nose originally the
line was is your cherry popped and that
girl who made out with a hot dog oh my
god that was one time well originally
she was supposed to have masturbated
with a frozen hot dog after all I'm not
sure how you make out with a hot tub but
I ever damn sure know how to [ __ ] one no
explanation
next thing
despite not really being a character in
the film Glenn Cocco is definitely a
favorite reference amongst Mean Girls
fans Glenn Cocco fall for you Glenn
Cocco you go Glen Coco what you probably
don't know is there's a real Glenn Cocco
he's a friend of Tina Fey's from home
and a guy who plays the back of Glenn
Coco's head is also of course real and
his name is David real and he's on
Twitter and everything so there
remember how Mr Duval wears that cast
for his carpal tunnel syndrome well that
only ended up being written into the
script because Tim Meadows really had to
wear that cast all throughout filming he
had broken his hand just before starting
Mean Girls so I guess things really were
rough on the Southside Kenny will you
please tell me Regina George is a
sociopath she's evil she's manipulative
she's cruel and she's based on Alec
Baldwin what okay okay not really
what kind of Mean Girls director Mark
Waters had Rachel McAdams watch
Glengarry Glen Ross in preparation for
her role as Regina George specifically
he wanted her to take note of Alec
Baldwin's performance like in the famous
always be closing speech you hear me you
[ __ ] [ __ ] you know I'm definitely
seeing the similarities now oh you know
another Alec Baldwin thing that would
have been good inspiration for Regina
George
oh ok on that note let's wrap this up
