My favorite part of Mean Girls is that Regina George gets a good ending. So many teen movies need to show the antagonist being punished, but these are just teenagers. They move on, learn, become better people. Regina George gets to move on and not forever be a mean girl.
She finds a healthy way to take out her emotions, which really is the reason she was so bad :(
I don't know about you but being hit by a freaking school bus was a pretty traumatic punishment for me.
@@anisanurraudah8383 she was better later 💀
@@mightychondria666 she still got hit by a school bus though lol
I was hoping she'd be in a full-body cast.
I mean present day people still say “On Wednesdays we wear pink!” and celebrate October 3rd. So iconic.
This is especially hilarious for german viewers, as it is mentioned just once in the movie rather randomly, but a lot of people seem to associate mean girls and october 3rd.
Which just happens to be german reunification day.
What’s the significance of October 3rd
@@lavalu1137 well I dunno for other countries, but in the Netherlands in specifically the city Leiden its their freedom day from the Spanish.
Seriously if you wanna party in the Netherlands, October 3rd Leiden is the place to be
@@lavalu1137 It’s Mean Girls day because in the movie, Aaron asks Cady what day it is and she replies “October 3rd”.
ikr! me and my friends still quote mean girls all the time too
i especially love the end, where you can see how each plastic has become a normal person. it shows that after all, the whole plastics thing was just a mask
And that they are allowed to have that redemption, you see a lot of those movies treat those characters with some awful fate like thats the only way anyone can coexist with them. Like they aren’t literal kids capable of growing as people.
Except for Karen, she was always that plastic personality

@@rw2452 pfp = profile picture. uwu = smiley face. It's like a pleasant, calm, chill look of happiness, like you're just vibing with something. So what they were saying was, 'I like your profile picture!'
The fact that the whole movie is based on the fact that Regina didn't know the difference between lesbian and Lebanese is sooo funny for me 😭😭
wait Janice is lebanese and that's the joke? how did I not know that lol I just thought Regina made that shit up😭
She was a kid when that happened, and even so she could have know and pretended not to
Oh my god, you just reminded me of the fact that I’ve watched this like a gagillion times and barely found this out like...3 months ago
@@char4980 In the prom scene when shes dancing with Kevin G (the math guy), He asks if she's Puerto Rican. She replies shes Lebanese
@@5h3nn0ng OMG. I was today years old when I finally got it
I legit never realized the only reason Regina befriended Cady was to keep her close because she perceived her as a threat.... This movie has so many layers that give it ultimate rewatch value lol
There is soooo much thought into it. Every time I rewatch it, I notice new thing. And I watched tons on videos about it, even one about the signification of the clothes in it (it was extremely interesting). The movie truly is wonderful to watch again and again.
@@Hadeshy ModernGurlz channel?
Yup. Cant have another pretty girl as competition. Keep your enemies closer type of thing
And the Way Jennis plan to destroy Regina was actually a method to destroy Dictator LOL
Regina thought Cady was the only one she thought she could relate to.
What I didn't understand was that Cady got blamed for the entire Burn Book when she was a new student that year. There's no way she could have known the secrets and rumors of all of the girls in her class. Also, she had a point when she said that Janis made her into a Plastic to get back at Regina.
I’m pretty sure they were trying to get her to name her fellow writers but she wouldn’t, she just said she wrote some of it, so they blamed her for it all!
I mean there was also the other two plastics blamed as well. Also this over the course of months as they go through multiple seasons, so Cady would hear and learn about others.
Mean Girls is proof that as weird as the plot is, the execution is what matters.

YOU COMPLETELY MISSED THE ENTIRE JOKE OF THE MOVIE WHERE JANICE SAYS SHES LEBANESE AND REGINA THOUGHT SHE MEANT LESBIAN LMFAOO
Omg. 😭
I NEVER REALISED THAT OMG
That's why I got confused when Janice ended up with a guy 😭😭😭
*saw in another comment*
If you do the math, 8th grade was around 9/11, so Janice either had to tell everyone she was Arabic when Islamophobia was skyrocketing, or let everyone believe she was gay.
Omgggggggggg havent noticed iiiiiit
The dumb popular girl trope being so overplayed is what makes Booksmart such a good movie. The girls assume that they are better academically than all the popular kids who party, but then they find out that the popular kids are going to yale too
It's a good way to go about that trope. Most "popular" people i went to school with were indeed very smart, like how Alex describes. It almost seems like that dumb athlete trope came from some jealous "reject" with a grudge lol
Or Legally Blonde - cute and bubbly protagonist is left by her boyfriend for being "too stupid", so she goes to Harvard law school to get him back by proving him wrong. But then she finds real happiness
XD
Oh my gosh I love that movie! So much better than Mean girls
“Why is mean girls so good even 20 years later”
Because the US education system hasn’t changed since 20 years
it’s not about the us education system lol😂
even in the 70s when my parents went to school, they say it was the exact same.. they especially love the part how they show the jocks, asian nerds, cool asians, drama geeks, plastics, stoners, etc.
those groups have, and will always be in every high school across the usa. movies from the 80s like the breakfast club or ferris buellers day off show it too in the same way😂
in the breakfast club, claire is the representative of the “plastics”. then there’s the nerd, jock, stoner, and art girl and it’s from 1985!
I think that one reason this movie is the best teen movie is because it actually feels somewhat realistic. In some movies the mean girl will just say, "Your purse is so ugly! ewww," while in Mean Girls, they talk behind each others back and it's more passive-aggressive. Also, it's just quotable as heck and me and my friends quote it all the time.
*pulls up to pick my sister up from volleyball* get in loser we're going shopping!
While this is good I’d say the best teen movie is Superbad
stop trying to make fetch happen, it's not gonna happen
she doesn't even go here
and many more
Not the best teen movie. I could argue Clueless was better and more iconic as it predates this.
Right? It’s soooiconic! I love it
I love how Glen Coco is the most referenced, popular character, yet he has barely ANY screentime, no lines, and we only see the back of his head!
Thanks a million for all of your likes!
you go glenn coco!!!
Four for you Glen Coco, you go Glen Coco!
I'll randomly be out in public and out of nowhere be like "you go Glen Coco" haha such a iconic inspirational character!
We love Glen Coco here
Yo I love your profile pic! My school just did the Addams Family Musical❤️
5:51 Rachel McAdams does a GREAT job. The way her smile is so wide, she's being friendly but you can sense the hostility and her high-pitched sugary sweet voice. like if I were cady i'd be thinking that something about her is so slightly off, but I wouldn't worry about it because she seems so nice! only when you look back, you start to see through it and how vicious she actually is (ok I don't know what I'm saying you get the point) dang she's good
@Ks yeah I can't believe I forgot her name smh 🤦♀️
She's like a predator "smiling", she's just showing her teeth
This exactly why the acting in the original is so much better than the musical movie 😭 not sure why they even adapted the musical into a movie
IKR and her acting range is great, like it’s crazy how she played Regina George in Mean Girls and ALSO Allie from The Notebook?? I almost didn’t realize she starred in both of those movies-
Shane’s kinda a real one in the sense he still liked and dated Regina when she thought she was “at her worst”, not ‘skinny’, not super fashionable, not flanked by her two minions, not ‘queen bee’
Exactly 💯
i thought so as well at first but then that means he "liked" her even when she cheated on aaron with him, when she started dating aaron again and through the whole chaos, meaning he was probably in it for the 🍑💎
@@wul09 oh yah, I won’t deny his likely shallow intentions for dating her as well, and being the “other man” lol
the fact that janis was lebanese and that why regina thought that she was a lesbian is still the best part of the movie
Bruh💀💀
Josh Dun energy
Damn only realised this now
there's also a theory that Regina is a lesbian or bi and that's why she's so homophobic towards Janice when she thinks she's a lesbian. 🤣
Yeah, its brilliant on Regina's part. If you do the math, 8th grade would have been around the same time as 9/11. Janis was forced between letting people think she was gay or letting people know she was Arabic right when Islamophobia skyrocketed.
Fun fact: the principal’s carpal tunnel was a last minute addition to the script because the actor broke his hand a week before filming started
Wait really? I had no idea that’s why they did that!
I want to say “nice!” but it’s not nice he broke his hand. I guess it’s more of a “nice”’ in the sense that they wrote his painful inconvenience into the script LOL! I’m a sucker for real life Easter eggs in movies.
Yeah and Tina Fey didn’t want to let him quit cause she wrote the part specifically for him
It’s mentioned in their zoom cast reunion
@@nicolelove4313
Haha "cast"
I absolutely LOVE that Regina ended up being a jock. Turns out she could use those kalteen bars after all
I'm a dude in my mid 30's and this is unironically one of my favorite movies any time the guys want to have a movie night. It just nails joke after joke after joke and then has a cheesy wholesome ending. Everyone makes fun of it until they watch it. It's just a great movie.
"That's why her hair is so big. IT'S FULL OF SECRETSSSSSSSSS."
And then in the end of the movie, notice she has straight and flat hair? I think it means something...🤔
It wasn't even big lol
@@jaydehar4537 it’s a quote from the movie?
@@anahigomez3351 and the musical
Peluca guera de la villana
My favourite joke in Mean Girls is that Regina spreads the rumour about Janice being a lesbian when they were younger and she probably just didn’t understand that Janice was Lebanese 😂
Holy shit after all these years, I just realized that because Regina doesn’t know the difference between Lebanese and lesbian, that’s the whole reason why this movie even happens the way it does 🤣
@Elena Jaimes Bahena I know I was stating that I can’t believe the whole reason behind the plot of this movie is because Regina made a dumb mistake
That's not it
@@Grace-to6hn it is…..Tina Fey ended up letting this fact slip when she was writing the book for Mean Girls the Musical….😂
@@newheights2029I mean the musical is different than the actual movie( or book?) And in the movie Regina gave the backstory of why she said that Janice was a lesbian and it was because when they were friends when they were younger and Regina had a boyfriend she spent so much time with her boyfriend that Janice got jealous and then she said that she is so obsessed with her she must be in love with her
"let me tell you something about aaron. all he cares about is school and his mom and his friends."
honestly sounds like a pretty good guy to me
Janis shooting back “YOUR MOM’S CHEST HAIR” at a random kid makes me laugh so hard for no reason.
alternative title : Alex Meyers roasting American high school for 18 minutes and 55 seconds straight.
Tbh from what Ive seen on movies and heard from my friends in the states, American high school system does seem pretty messed up lol. Idk if it’s just me but in my school there’s no “bullying”. Like ppl are either nice to your face and then talk behind your back, or ignore your existence completely but no bullying or fights. Or Maybe my school is just boring but yeah🤷♀️
@@silveryraven4723 When I was in school there was bullying, but not to the same degree shown it apparently happen in High School. I mean, the whole not inviting people to parties and talking behind their backs or making "fun" of them, yeah, that was a thing, but actually attacking them physically? Yeah, nah, that didn't happen. Those strange cliques? Nope that didn't happen either. Hall passes? I was acutally confused what they were when I first heard of them.
@@silveryraven4723 that's how it is in pretty much every school I have attended and I have been to 7 different schools by now-
I'm 15 😒 I will probably need to go to a new school again next year.

ok, lets be real, he got the slim/fat dynamic for girls, LITERALLY PERFECT. and people wonder why were crazy
I remember seeing this in theaters when I was 12 with my cousin who was 10 and our moms. They definitely thought the movie was inappropriate for us being that young, but they loved loved loved the message at the mathletes competition where it finally sinks in to Cady about how calling other girls names and tearing them down doesn’t build you up at all and you have to actually focus on yourself and build yourself up.
The scariest line for me is Regina’s ‘So you agree?’ after telling Cady she’s pretty
Legit gives me chills and reminds me people in my dad’s family who I never want to be around
Reminds me of being put on the spot by nosy girls in middle school :(
Ikr it's like thanking someone for a compliment is bragging, that's why I find it hard to accept compliments in the first place, I think I'm bragging when I do
I know what you mean. It has to be a talent to be able to be this degrading while actually being casual. holy crap
@@2Ten1Ryu exactly it’s also scary how manipulative it is, and she can be more subtle about it if she wanted but that’s just how much power she has that she doesn’t care about being subtle about what questions she asks
It’s like a huntress testing out her prey and seeing how they’ll respond when put on the spot
@@yusurkassem4174 Yeah, those scenes in the movie can actually be somewhat triggering if you have been bullied before. Sometimes I have a hard time watching scenes likes this. It just makes me angry. I used to be quiet and submissive, now I would utterly flip my shit if I were to even witness something like this.
Cady: The thing about regina is that I could hate her but at the same time still wanted her to like me.
That's gotta be the most relatable thing I have ever heard.
Bruh fr. I'll hate my classmates but a little part of my brain will be like "yea but like don't you want them to like you"
And that part is relatable for Janice too. Notice when Cady lied to her that she wasn't in the book she said "those bitches!" She hated them and and she would've gotten angry about it if she knew what it said about her. But not being in the book was an even bigger insult. It meant that they didn't give enough shit about her to even care if she was in the book or not.
@@imsickoflifeanditstactics5063 yeah I never noticed that but it's true . This entire quote represents regina and Janice's relationship. Janis hates her with a burning passion but she still is obsessed with her and wants her to acknowledge her existence.
Same I had an ex-best friend and that’s exactly how I felt about her
@@imsickoflifeanditstactics5063 I think she said "those bicthes" cause she knew cady was lying about her NOT being in the book, so she knew she was in the book thats why she got mad
i feel like this movie singlehandedly changed the teen novel genre for over a decade before we got the more realistic one that doesnt revolve around popular kids vs. quiet kids
"Homeschooled kids are freaks"
That always offended me since I've been homeschooled my whole life😭😭😂

The joke about Janis at the end of the film went over my head for so many years. Regina got lesbian an Lebanese mixed up, and thats why she wasn't friends with her.
I was today's years old when I got the joke.
Holy hell! That's amazing and I never realized!
Right over my head.
That's hilarious, and SUCH a Regina thing to do. It's also possible that Regina was counting on OTHER people to mix the two words up, or convince them that they'd simply heard "Lesbian" instead of "Lebanese."
She didn't get them confused. She literally said I think you are obsessed with me and therefore a lesbian. I mean not quite that but still
I use Regina's rejection of Fetch regularly to point out things that will never catch on, but people keep trying to force onto me. "Stop trying to make the DC Universe happen, it's not going to happen."
I hate actually the way janis blaming cady for become like plastic when she is the one who insisting her to join the plastics.
She's literally using Cady only to take her personal revenge and then throw her away just because she is infested with the plastics.
And she didn't even apologize after that. Nahh Janis is worst than Regina
What she did was wrong but I don’t think we have a reason to say that she is worst than Regina.
@@Heidibell20 I like Regina more than her

Ikr
Mean girl was actually relatable, unlike those recent teen movies with the so forced “im not like other girls, but im actually like EVERY GIRL” that are very cringy
You would find that in the hated mean girls 2 as well
Exactly it was a satire of a satire but it's not like every girl was trying to be so so different
@@avastars3393 💀
This reminded me about what i randomly wrote in my notebook a few years ago in a boring class.. everyone's trying to be different without realizing that they only end up looking the same
Something like that ;-;
"I'm not like other girls!"
Said by literally every girl.
I was homeschooled the entire way through school. The first time I stepped foot into an elementary school was to bring my mom her work folder that she had left at home.
Mean girls is a perfect representation of a teenagers life- male and female. Although there are many comical advances in the movie, it delivers a good meaning and solution in the very end.
"These sweatpants are the only thing that fit me right now." made me really sad
Ikr 😭 I felt so bad for Regina
She sounded so sad 🙁
As a person that lost so much weight after so long and gaining it back because of grief (for my late father) I can relate so much to her
She still looks skinny I really don’t get it
My weight fluctuates so much I felt that in my soul
mean girls is actually so realistic. its dramatized, but accurate to how girls in high school really are. it works so well because of that
right !! it’s so funny and people talk about how dramatic it is but this is exactly how people (girls) talked in my high school
Yeah, people keep fixating on the three girls can't rule the whole school..like do people understand the concept of a satires and parodies.
I remember in fifth grade the popular girls like these would go around asking if you wanna join their group and do everything they want or if don't and in that case they would bully you. That's when I was like "oooh shit, this ain't gonna be good" and it wasn't. Long story short school is just like prison, and you gotta survive until you get out of it to safety. At the end of the 8th grade those bullies cried cause school was over and they would move away to go to high school, while the bullied were just happy that they will finally have peace and quiet for once without it bothering some asshole for no reason. Teachers don't even care ever since democracy has been instilled they weren't allowed to punish kids so they just gave up cause there's no way to control them or they just like to give you petty punishments for nothing just to pretend to be good teachers.
It is?? I've always been wondering if American high schools are actually as weird as the movies make it seem.
@@j3ssijee Yeah pretty much
I love your message at the end. Lindsey and Amanda and all the other young ones around that time were making some really good stuff and it is very sad how the industry consumed them.
6:45 I don't even have kids, but that right there, made me feel something lmfaooo or it might be the depression, work has been TOUGH
Mean girls is great because it was based off of actual psychology, not whatever Hollywood directors just think high schoolers act like.
It does remind me of when I was younger and I was always hooking up with different beautiful women all the time, well I mean I guess I never stopped though

I would just like to say, that the reason Regina wanted to bring Cady into the group was because of her beauty, and Regina saw her as a threat to her, so to stop that from happening she kept Cady in her control
OH
@@Pebbles.3 yeah HAHA
Omg exactly, deep down regina only associated with cady in the first place was because she was threatened by her "beauty" and especially her authenticity. Cady was normal when coming to America. Regina was just your typical spoiled American girl.
Regina "helped" cady assimilate not to help her,but to ruin her.
Honestly, that may be an unpopular opinion, but I found it unfair that Cady was faulty for everything in the end, even if Janis used her to get revenge on Regina and then everyone was framing Cady for becoming a bad/fake person and that she literally had to apologize for everything, when others made bad mistakes themselves...Cady did something bad once and she was the scapegoat

It’s you
WTF, dude?! This is the last video I expected to see you at! 😂 On another note, glad you survived that high school.
Your ever where!
3:50 fun fact, what the german teacher says doesn't make any sense at all. "Bleiben Ihren vorgenannten Platz" would roughly translate to something along "Stay your aforementioned (or previously assigned) spot". I mean, its probably supposed to be something like "Remain seated" or "Stay where you are", which then would be something like "Bleiben Sie auf Ihrem Platz". It's only a small detail, but being German, I think the teacher being, like, a full on catastrophe in what they're trying to teach, adds to the humour of the scene. I wonder if they did it on purpose tho.
When at the spring fling Aaron said “grool” to kind of make fun of cady, it reminded me of every time in liv and Maddie where Maddie says “ sUp dIgGiE” and dIgGiE says “sTuFf” then they just say that as a joke in literally every next heartbreaking/reuniting moment they have together.

This movie is such a weird phenomenon. Its not a genre that I usually like, but Mean Girls was just such a force of nature that I can't help but consider it a classic.
And then mean girls 2 was made 🤦🏻♀️
@@rashianand7534 There was really a Mean Girls 2? I had no idea. How did I miss that?
@@Applepoisoneer oh you're lucky to miss that. Don't even bother watching
@@Applepoisoneer Please don't watch that trash movie
many "teen girl drama" tried to emulate the iconic legacy of mean girls, but a lot of them failed. probably cuz mean girls had a genuinely interesting (and hilarious) theme of using the american public high school setting as an allegory of authoritarian tyrants and rebellions
it may be weird or abnormal, but mean girls will always remain classic
This is so true. Me and my friend used to say like cringy memes ironically and this has gotten to the point that we are just making cringy memes and references. This is my humor now and I hate it but I can’t stop.

mean girls and heathers are super alike
•both have three mean girls
•both have one girl that’s being *hated* by the queen bee (gretchen and heather duke)
•both have a girl that the trio “invents”
•the main mean girl drifts apart or doesn’t hang out with the trio anymore (heather chandler dies and regina’s ruined)
•the new girl the trio invents becomes sort of popular
You’re so smart. Taking the “this is weird” or “this sucks” and breaking it down the way you do? It will garner responses from people who agree and then you’re gonna get super fans who BLOW UP at the thought that someone else doesn’t like it. I applaud you. Please keep doing these. Very entertaining.
Cady being like "Well can I have the hall pass?" And then the teacher denying it made me realise how stupid school rules are
Ikr,
Running in the halls makes half sense
You only just realised?
Blame the douchebags who use it to ditch. That's what causes the distrust.
Fr Like you have to ask your teacher to do literally anything including go to the bathroom and most of the time when people ask to go to the bathroom at my high school they’re denied like People can really not control when they need to use the bathroom and five minutes in the hall mind you sometimes it takes five minutes just to walk from wherever you were before your next class is not enough to use the bathroom for many people
When Alex started talking about how you have to be thicc and skinny at the same time I lost it because the beauty standards really are that stupid 😂😭😭
@Tracker X I disagree, I think both boys and girls have so many unrealistic standards they feel they need to follow because of social media and celebrities today who alter their bodies. We aren't taking the time to really empathize with each other. I think the average girl really doesn't care about those things as much as you might think. And I also don't think it's wrong to not want someone who's obese, and same goes for someone who's anorexic ✋ they should be in a healthy place before being in a relationship with someone
@Tracker X yeah that's why I don't call myself a feminist 💀💀
@Tracker X Well, that would mostly be misandrists. There are more feminists than misandrists, misandrists are just the louder part of the crowd, so it looks like modern feminists actually don't strive for equality.
Kinda like with the beauty standards thing. Most girls wouldn't really care for you to meet all beauty standards, and a lot of guys wouldn't care either, it's just that society pushes this idea.
@Tracker X Yeah, those are called misandrists. Unfortunately many today. Still many feminists out there though, not just women too.
@Tracker X iam not trying to say that boys don't have standards but still girls need to be nor fat nor skinny and be thick in some parts of our body
i experienced boys at school body shaming me for being skinny unlike other girls that have an hourglass shape of body
Men also have these strict standards , i agree. but you shouldn't say that women are lucky for being accepted for who they are . i mean yeah, they are some gentlemens out there who aren't picky but according to my life and experience i only met people who prefer certain type of body and pretty girls and body shame skinny girls and laugh at them :)
Alex just made up a way to describe unrealistic body standards better then anyone can

I was literally a home schooled girl white girl who immigrated from Africa. My first experience in public school was grade 9 in Canada. This movie is super realistic to me.
Oh lol
So Cady irl but Shirley?
Sure
did u meet a popular clique ?
Surely you can't be serious.
Tbh this represents more of high school than any other movie and the plastics are so much easier to believe as bullies then the othe movies
This movie is actually good,but one time me and my grandad were watching netflix and I asked to watch mean girls,at the time he had no clue what it was at the time,but when I put it on,he didn't move,he just watched it,then the next time I came to his house,he was watching it again,no joke
“A city in the Midwest where everyone eats like they can afford to go to the hospital” 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
I burst out laughing when he said that 🤣
I came from one of these small towns and it was exactly like that though...even though they're Podunk asf
dude listening to him describing my actual city like that lololol had me dead
Michigan is the watered down version of that
If you saw the text that came after that it was even funnier
You know what would've been an interesting twist? If the plastics were actually really nice and friendly, and the unpopular kids were just being super bitter and unkind because they resented the kids who were more popular. I've seen that IRL and no fiction has ever really mentioned it.
Someone needs to make that into a movie, I so watch!
Uuuuum legally blonde???
legally blonde 😭😭😭😭
Tine Fey kind of did that in an episode of 30 Rock. Her character goes to her high school reunion, dreading seeing the other students, and it turns out she was the one who was mean to them, even when they tried to be nice to her.
Well legally blonde doesn't like count because it's focused on Adults rather than teenagers
I feel like the early 2000’s would have been the greatest time to be a teen. So many great movies like this and great music. Sadly only got my early childhood in that awesome decade, would’ve loved to be in high school then, but it still is like how the movie portrays high school now and probably always will be. The most truthful movie about high school and how it’s a thing you’ll hate when you’re there but after always wish you could still be there having fun and being young and free.

"If you're from africa how are you white?"
"Evil takes a human form in regina george"

“Get in loser we’re going shopping”
“You go glen coco”
“AND I WANT MY PINK SHIRT BACK”
“Hey Kylie!”
“💃🏾 hey💃🏾”
When Alex starting explaining the double-standard of needing to be "slim thick" and needing to be thick in some areas but slim in others, I felt seen. Thankyou, this means alot to your female viewers ❤
Edit: Love how everyone in the comments section put me and other women down for caring what people say about us and turned it into a political debate, I just wanted to express my thanks to Alex.
Literally don't even worry about it. I know you shouldn't have to hang onto guys' every word, so don't take this as validation you 'need' at all - but if it helps you feel any better, as a guy let me tell you that the bodies we're into vary just as much as the types girls are into. Even if you feel like your stomach or legs aren't as good-looking as they should be, there is at least a handful of dudes who have met you before and think you look pretty dang good. :)
@@afriendofepicproportions It's uh, okay to hear something from a guys perspective but 99% of the time, it's not about guys, and is more about like...systematic stuff & representation
@blueskyglitch
The self-imposed standard reinforced by countless women, as a result of low self-esteem (in a positive feedback loop) and propagated through media and companies females choose to consume and support, incentivizing the continuation of such practices, while taking advantage of such perceptions for the purposes of advancement, greater benefit, and psychological manipulation?
Yeah.. “systematic stuff.”
If “looks” are required for representation, then you’re either in modeling or focusing on the wrong thing (and the fact that you might get ahead by doing so is counterpoint to the general conclusion drawn by many and exemplifies the lack of integrity of many when reviewing and addressing such issues).
@@xa5150 Are you for real right now? @BlueSkyGlitch was complaining about a lack of representation and systemic sexism and you choose to tell us that it's WOMEN's fault we are discriminated and oppressed? Do you even hear how deluded you sound

The sad thing is that Cady doesn't have any friends. Janis made her spy on Regina, the only time Cady, Janis and Damian spent some time together was when they were planning how to get a revenge on Regina.Janis and Damian make fun of her interest (to join a mathematic club means that she would be a loser) and they are all hurt when Cady doesn't invite them to her party. Why would she even do that? By the way it was so stupid how Janis spent all four years by hateing Regina, claiming that she destroyed Janis' life when in reality the only people who remember that Regina called Janis a lesbian are Janis, Damian and Regina.
I feel like Janis took it more to heart & it stuck with her since the insult came from someone she respected
Don't take this in a bad way but i just had a stroke reading this
I see your point and get where your coming from, but go back to school and learn how to write properly
So true. I was always wondering even as a kid why Janis would be angry that she wasn’t invited, cause I really disliked the fact when they just made fun of her being interested in mathematics. Nothing bad in saying that I don’t like the subject, but no reason to laugh about that. And just being there for someone for revenge. I wouldn’t have invited her either tbh xD
I genuinely really dislike Janice

As a 2001 baby I can confirm time flies
i think mean girls is still iconic as it’s realistic (to the most part except for the jungle fight scene mood)
1) the whole school atmosphere is normal, busy corridors, lunch hall set up etc
2) regina, gretchen and karen act like modern girls where their bitchy behaviour is similar and not outrageous (like the flop sequel)
3) you kind of don’t want to root for anyone in the end as janis set it all up, cady became a plastic and the plastics were not good people to begin with
and finally it’s quotable and a masterpiece
on the "not wanting to root for anyone" point - it's even better because nowadays movies would make Cady, Janis and Damian "the good guys" and the plastics "the bad guys" but in the end Janis was just as bad and manipulative as Regina + it kind of mirrors how all girls turned on each other and there were no bad and good girls
@@yonicorn1641 I think that was such a great touch because it shows how it wasn’t anyone’s fault entirely. It varied between the plastics and Cady’s group of friends. It makes it a lot more realistic since a lot of times in life it’s either circumstance and/or it wasn’t just one person and one action that caused problems. So, I definitely agree with what you’re saying. 👌😊
more proof that real life can't be separated into just 'good and bad' like most movies and shows (esp teen rom coms) go bc even of theyre shown to not be good the writers pretend its good, not actually acknowledging it like this movie, kind of defeating the purpose and removing some layers from the characters imo.
anyways i personally havent actually seen super bitchy girls in highschool yet but a couple years ago i sure as hell was as bad as regina to my cousin since we werent on the best of terms at the time. i think some of that leaked into my current self or maybe its just hidden deep within me waiting to awaken cause whenever my friends and i roleplay they always choose me as a villain or bitchy person because "i can act the part" or im "best at it." ngl its kinda flattering if youre looking at it from an acting standpoint
The only person we can root for in this movie is Glen Coco and I would like to see somebody tell me otherwise.
@@kaichiskai5246 that’s so true!! YOU GO GLEN COCO
I find it interesting that this movie essentially popularised the high school movie trope of having the group of three popular girls who rule the school or whatever, yet this wasn't actually the first movie to do it. The dynamic of the main characters feels really similar to the movie Heathers, even down to the roles taken
"She doesn't even go here!" "Do you even go to this school?" "No, I just have a lot of feelings." "Alright, go home" 😂😭😭😭
I still feel like Mean Girls should be studied in Sociology. There have been studies linking mean girl cliques with gang culture, authoritarian capitalism and psychological warfare.
ok yeah no lol this movie exaggerates a bit. Makes me question what kind of school did you people go to???
@@AmyChanChi well I know it's satire, but it's still got good social commentary. And I think people learn better with films /pop culture than sitting in front of a chalkboard

@@cairoanderson7944 what I meant to say was "drawing parallels to". Thanks.
Spiritual warfare
Means Girls is amazing, it has actual bullies that aren’t flat puppets that say what they’re going to do to make your life hell.
It has a lot of jokes, but it also shows how a lot of people see high school, the mean girls always act nice, and you even have different roles in this kind of high school hierarchy.
You have Regina, the leader and mastermind with a lot of confidence. She knows how to find people’s weaknesses.
You have Gretchen, the follower who really wants to follow a leader. It’s honestly sad, because it just seems like they want to be approved of, and don’t know their worth.
You have Karen, the one who has potential to be like Regina the leader with her looks, but not skill wise.
And then you have Cady, a new girl, a lump of clay who can be molded in any way, making her the perfect input for the audience.
And even Janis, who should be on our side is basically Regina without popularity, having the same skill of knowing how to make people tick.
At the end of the day, it’s a cinematic masterpiece with references that still live up to this day, and something that isn’t so black and white, and has characters that actually have dimension.
👏👏👏👏
And it’s barely about boys.
