no but women are so badass okay
because there will inevitably come a point in every woman’s life where she wakes up in a pool of her own blood and her reaction will be dammit now i have to do laundry
that is some suave superhero shit and you won’t ever be able to convince me otherwise

8 Favorite Sketches (In No Particular Order):
- Maya Rudolph - National Anthem
I know this sketch by heart, and will sing it upon request. I consider it my favorite SNL sketch of all time.
- Gap Girls
Five words: “Lay off me, I’m starving!”
- Weekend Update: Cecilia Jiminez
A screencap from this was my phone wallpaper for over a year. One of Kate McKinnon’s first knockout appearances on SNL, it completely solidified my place in the McKinnon camp. Even the thumbnail while searching for this video made me laugh.
- Master Thespian
I adore Jon Lovitz. His niche on SNL was the “overconfident idiot,” which he completely excelled in. Bonus Robin Williams, and a super-adorable Dana Carvey.
- Dream Home Extreme
Kristen Wiig has done a lot of amazing things during her time on SNL, including a myriad of incredible characters. But this sketch really shows off her ability to go over the top next to the deadpan Emma Stone. She just doesn’t. stop. trying. Cracks me up.
- The Lawrence Welk Show
Speaking of Kristen Wiig’s famous characters… I can’t not include this clip when I’ve gone so far as to make my own Judice costume for Halloween. With my by myself.
- Oops! I Crapped My Pants
I remember joking about this commercial spoof in middle school, when no one else really watched SNL. It’s been non-stop catchphrase quoting since then.
- Mokiki
I’ve done the Sloppy Swish down the streets of New York City. It’s delightfully weird and was a big risk with a huge payoff. Love Taran Killam.
9 Comedy Movies (In No Particular Order):
- Wet Hot American Summer: I often tell people that this is my favorite movie of all time, and I am always, always up for watching it, especially with people who haven’t seen it before. I always see something new when I watch it, and Michael Showalter doing double duty as Alan Shemper is the funniest part of the whole movie.
- Clue: I remember asking my grandparents, who had HBO and I did not, to video tape an airing of Clue, which I had never heard of, because I thought it sounded neat and I loved the boardgame. Little did I know that it would become one of my favorite movies of all time. So many great one liners, an incredible ensemble cast, and, of course, this classic line by Madeline Kahn.
- Tommy Boy: This movie is the perfect combination of heart, slapstick and David Spade sarcasm. Chris Farley is affable and hilarious, as always. The gag reel, if you haven’t seen it, is great. Man, Chris’ laugh is so contagious.
- South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut: It is no secret that I love Trey Parker. His music is unbelievably catchy and well-written, and you have to be a super smart man to write something so stupid that’s also so good. Howard McGillin (who I once saw as the Phantom) sings the Les Miserables-esque “La Resistance,” a Les Mis parody before there were Les Mis parodies (and a damn good medley).
- Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls: I KNOW. I know what you’re thinking. Jim Carrey… HOW COULD I? But even I, as terrified as I am of him, cannot deny the hilarity of this sequel, which is roughly 3x better than the original. If only for this scene alone. You know which one it is.
- Mean Girls: I can’t not. The quintessential girls’ high school movie, back when Lohan still had it quasi-together. But she’s not the star of this movie, and if anyone is, it’s the dynamic duo of Janis Ian and Damien. Not to mention the incredible characters with on-the-nose one liners written by Tina Fey. And don’t forget, never forget, Glen Coco.
- Home Alone: It’s just like me to have a Christmas movie on this list, no? There’s just something so fulfilling about watching Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern get hit in the face repeatedly. Honorable mention to Home Alone 2.
- Happy Gilmore: I don’t know WHAT he’s been doing lately (coasting, Eddie Murphy style), but there’s a place in my heart for ’90s Adam Sandler. I think this golf spoof is a better movie than Billy Madison as a whole, which I also love, and it’s the only character in which Ben Stiller has ever made me laugh.
- The Big Lebowski: This was just on TV again the other night, and I propped my feet up and enjoyed it as thoroughly as I did the first time I saw it. Jeff Bridges, man. The plot is so convoluted and bizarre, and while it’s slightly dark, the comedy hits at just the right time. And a great soundtrack.
