Last year, my husband and I got into a fight so I drove into a Walmart parking lot and sat and watched this movie in my car and it was so bad that the fight seemed like nothing.
The fact that the costumes from Mean Girls 1 aged so well, and the costumes in Mean Girls 2 aged so HORRIBLY is kind of a testament to how great the original was. Also, WHY were they calling themselves "The Plastics"?!?! In the first movie, "Plastics" is a nickname Janis came up with to make fun of Regina and her friends, and it was strictly an inside joke between Janis, Damian and Cady. They weren't ACTUALLY walking around calling themselves "The Plastics"
It kinda makes sense to me because sometimes i see words that changed meanings overtime and went from negative to somewhat positive meanings like nerds, stan, slay.. im not an english speaker so i can’t think of many but there are some words in my language that are also used a lot even though their origins were an insult or something like that lol
@@glowrillaz What I meant to say was "Plastics" was more of an inside joke between 3 friends. No one was calling Regina and co. "The Plastics" because only Janis, Damien and Cady knew about it.
@@glowrillazGreat examples, and you’re not even a native speaker? You’re doing great! Others I can think of: - ratchet - queer (this one changed in my lifetime, even) - aesthetic - literally - gay
If this movie didn't already have an unconvincing plot, the fact that the plastics are seniors and dress like they're going to an 8th grade formal and are somehow popular really takes you out of it
i love how the entire point of mean girls 1 went over their heads, the whole thing was that they were ALL mean girls, the popular girls and the outcasts alike. plus why do they call themselves the plastics? 😭 they’re insulting themselves, plastics was a term Janis made up to make fun of regina george and her friends behind her back, they didn’t actually go around calling themselves plastic.
Tina Fey was apparently approached to write the sequel, but turned it down. However, she has since regretted it, considering how awfully it turned out.
Didnt even know there was a mean girls 2 when i clicked on the video and 5 mins in i reliese i actually watched it at some point in life 😅 thank for pulling that out of the memory files
@@lipstickzombie4981 I think if she had wrote it, it probably wouldn't have ended up as garbage. Probably still not as good as the original, because sequels rarely are, but it would have had a chance.
***GASP*** "Mean Girls 3' idea - the Plastics / Non-Recyclers (people who leave open egg cartons and plastic fake sugar bags lying around)....force people to watch Mean Girls 2 as a way to torture them!!! Brilliant!! Bring that to Hollywood!!
Don't EVER apologize for making a long video. I speak for everyone when I say you could make a 3 hour video and we would gladly watch it a couple times
There are two facts about this movie that I find really telling: 1.) I forgot there was a Mean Girls 2 2.) I forgot I have previously watched Mean Girls 2
@@sammywilson4298 you always can tell when someone isn't as smart as they try to let on bc they usually say something along the lines of, "That's 'LIKE' felony vandalism." Yeah the "like" gave them away. You can nvr sound intelligent using words such as those. Dead giveaway.
In the original, Regina WAS mean, but she was still a vulnerable teenage girl, and received her own happy ending. Mandi is over the top, and is punished by the end.
@@equusquaggaquagga536 ummmmm did she tho? She was awful to Gretchen, & called Karen stupid lmao. I understand why she did it, but I'm not excusing her, & I'm DEF not assigning kindness where there isn't.
I feel like a lot of imitations forget the fundamental thing about Mean Girls. EVERYONE is mean- it's not just the top girls being mean to the outcasts. And everyone's the meanest to their friends because they know where to hit them the hardest.
“Fun” fact. Most of the main girls are Disney Channel “stars”. Abby is played by Jennifer Stone who played Harper on Wizards of Waverly place. Mandi is played by Maiara Walsh who played Cory’s love interest on the That’s so Raven spin-off (she also played a recurring character on Switched at Birth) And Jo is played by Meagan Martin who played the mean girl Tess in Camp Rock. Chastity is played by Clare Holt who got her start on the Australian show H20 just add water. Then became well known for her character of Rebekah on The Vampire Diaries and The Originals, actually becoming the most successful of the four.
The most unbelievable part of this whole thing was Abby being an outcast.. I was trying to rack my brains to figure out if I ever knew a kid who was simultaneously the richest and least popular person in school. I'm sure it's happened before, but I am very skeptical when the girl was otherwise very "normal" (if unlucky).
There was a kid in my high school who was very rich and he was not popular at all. Even driving a brand new Mustang to school didn't help him fit in. His younger sister lived it up though.
My school didn’t focus on money. I didn’t even know this was a thing in real life high school. A lot of people thrift shopped a lot and that was the thing
It's funny because after reading your comment I figured out the reachest girls in my class was best friends and they were not popular at all. One of them was an outcast because of bad habits she had. She's the only classmate I met after school. Nice girl and very down to earth
The "mean girls" outfits is something a 8 year old girl would wear. All their accessories look like they were bought from claires. When was this style ever in?
Idk when these Claire-esque items were ever in, but I think they were attempting the whole 2012ish, every-girl-looks-like-a-30-yo-secretary thing, which WAS, unfortunately, a style. 😅 Remember when near every girl owned a huge owl necklace, and wore a tiered patterned shirt with the stupid short little cardigans, pants, and a messy bun? Flannels over tanks, or the blousey shirts with the tiny tie at the bottom with wedges. Short, tiered or poofy dresses, infinity scarves and uggs. Yeah. I think it's definitely *attempting* that and failing even worse than the people in HS did when they actually did this. 😂 If I could insert photos, you'd know exactly the fashion era I'm talking about. They poorly re-made that look which was already bad, but it's still uncannily similar. Look up 'high school fashion in 2012' and you'll see some outfits that look adjacent to the ones in this movie. Every teen in the 2010's looked like a 30 yo secretary for yeeeeaaaarrrs, but I think 2012 is where they really pulled from lmao. 😂 Wonder what year they made this movie. Edit: Was made in 2011 😂 nearly called it!
The early 2000's. Every girl in school, including me use to dress like them. It wasn’t the best time for fashion and we're trying to forget it ever happened lol.
In the princess diaries, Anne Hathaway actually did fall and make that noise very much not on purpose. But it fit her character so much they kept it in.
yeees, thats why shes laughing so much and everyone looks so confused, but she prompts everyone to keep going. i really applaud the second actress who just went with it.
This movie took 22 days to make...and it shows....*__* Can't believe they would put so little effort into a sequel to such an iconic film. The actors were even shook.
*20* days to make actually. Meaghan Martin (the actress who plays the character Jo) in this movie said (in an interview) that thats how long it took them to make the production for the film.
Omg why didn’t she challenge her to a car race at the end instead of a flag football game?? That would have at least tied in the race car theme of the movie 🤦♀️ This movie is so randommmm. Thanks for another great video Jaime 🙌
To be fair, he works for Nascar, so, uh, maybe it's different for them? Yeah, now that I think about it, it doesn't really. I think it would've made more sense for the main girl to be a military brat and have her dad be a mechanic who worked for the army and constantly had to travel for that reason, and he recently got out and is now able to settle with her daughter at the start of the movie.
@@mynameisreallycool1my dad was in the Air Force and he fixed planes , 9 times out of 10 and mechanic or someone like my dad would be put on a base and live there long term and only leave for T.D.Y for maybe a few weeks or months for training and come back .
If he is a mechanic for a race team yes the do travel. To a different track every week. They build the cars in a shop but they still have to work on them at each track every week.
Mean girls was so iconic bc it was a change from the very common trope of loser to popular. Especially with how they developed each character further. Showing that regardless of stature, they are real ppl capable of forgiveness, remorse, acceptance etc. Rather than just characters. Regina and Katie’s “reunion” being a great example of that. The sequel just seems like a rush job, trying hard to be as good as the first but miserably failing.
I'll never forget staying with my aunt and uncle for a month through the summer and they had no internet so they asked me for a couple movies they could go rent for me and I said mean girls..... they came back with this mess. I'll never forgive them for this trauma.
Was the subplot of this movie,"Hey,let's make Tim Meadows as creepy as possible?!"In Mean Girls there was the underlying flirtyness with Tina Fey, but in this one,full on creeper😮
What’s funny is that every teen movie has crafted their own version of high school that simply does not exist anywhere...it’s basically “Hollywood High School” and everyone is familiar with it, despite being completely ridiculous 😆
I wonder if this is what it's like for the super rich? They live in a weird world that looks like this or they've completely made up what they think school is like for regular people
@@RenegadeContext I think they are just exaggerating “cliques” in American high school, which there definitely are. But they take it to the extreme where it borderlines absurdity.
With the whole posting the big secret in the newspaper, if I were Jo, I would’ve just casually been like, “nah, we’re friends, but if somebody offered you 50,000 to be friends with somebody who’s already your friend, would you turn it down? Easiest money ever, no offense to your dad. I need college money and I love you as a friend anyways so it’s a win/win.” 😂😂😂
I like “he be like im in” and catching things like the random hand crushing the latte, and the misspelling in the college letter. Really enjoy your work!
All I see is Tess from Camp Rock, Meena from Cory in the House, Harper from Wizards of Waverly Place, Emma from H2O: Just Add Water, and Macy from Jonas LA. 😂😭
I'd love to see a Mean girls from 2023! Plastics are diet tea pushing influencers who act super nice and everyone likes them, but someone drops a 45 minute youtube video expose them lmfaoooo.
A lot of these actors are the same generation on Disney Channel. The protagonist was in Camp Rock. Mandy was in Cory in the House and the “loser” girl is Harper on Wizards of Waverly Place
Not Disney but Chastity was on H2O: Just Add Water which was a popular Australian show that they aired on Nickelodeon. (Might have actually aired on Disney in other countries but I’m not entirely sure).
The most unbelievable thing about this movie is wanting to go to a college in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and being so desperate to go that your best friends dad has to pay for it.
You're editing skills is/are out of this world. So much of what is so funny (what are they doing in the woods? etc) are the cuts you put together. You're so talented I'm surprised other content creators haven't fabricated a reason to cancel you
There’s a part in the movie where Mandi tells Abby “Don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t even breathe the same air as me,” and I couldn’t take her seriously with that Justice outfit
Carnegie Mellon had been considered a prestigious school for a long time. Especially for computer science engineering. It just gets less mainstream attention because it isn't in the Ivy League list.
I just noticed something after seeing this video three times: The Carnegie Mellon letter was sent to her house in Ohio. The first mean girls, that shared the same high school was set in Evanston, Illinois. Of all the problems this movie had this had to be the one I fixated on lol
I would have named my anti-plastic group the Pyrexes...because Plastic is sooooo toxic. This is why I don't have friends and wear moccasins like Abby's.
I like to think that Jaime just has a Premiere file that lives on her desktop called 'COOL GIRL FALL COMPILATION' that she just opens up every time she needs to add a clip.
My husband and I just recently found your TH-cam channel and we both agree you are the funniest human being we have ever come across! We can’t seem to eat, drink, smoke etc while watching your videos because we can’t stop laughing and eventually have to take a break from watching just to make our stomaches stop hurting🤣 We love you!!!!
I had no idea you were speeding up the video for copyright reasons until you said so! I was just convinced that they found people with hysterically high pitched voices because they didn't have budget for actors anyone had heard of. 😂
I never saw the Mean Girls 2 because I didn't recognize the actors and it didn't have Lindsey. 😂 Thank you Nick, for reading the social media conversation 😂❤ I love the "pathetically blind" scene y'all put together. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Joe is a straight up pick me girl I remember watching this at a girls 13th birthday party when it came out of DVD and absolutely hating it everyone else wanted to finish it and was genuinely painful to sit through when you're expecting it to be good like the original 😤
As for Carnegie Mellon… 12 years ago annual tuition was 30 or 60k+? Cannot remember if the 30k was per semester or per year. So yeah 50k. Just a portion.
I watched Mean Girls for the first time just last night. I was honestly dreading it, but came out of the film having had a great time and genuinely enjoying it. So seeing this video’s thumbnail and finding out THIS existed brought an insane amount of dread into my fragile heart. If it wasn’t for Jamie I would’ve just started laying on my bed and staring at the ceiling for half an hour.
I have so many questions...why would you dread watching a bonified classic like Mean Girls? And why would you force yourself to watch a movie that you're already dreading??
@shannon celeste I was also ignoring the movie for a while after it came out. It came out I think a year after I graduated from high school and I just wasn't really vibing with my generation at the time so I thought it would be a dumb teen movie with all the things I hated from early 2000s. But then I did watch it one night (maybe couple of years after it came out) as it was on TV and fell in love with it. It definitely stands the test of time for me. Now I love to rewatch it for nostalgia of the very thing I avoided at the time, mainly the terrible fashion and the music haha
@@julesrules7297 I know. I already quite resent that. Definitely wish I was a lot more open-minded going into it. Didn’t really hinder my enjoyment of it though.
It might have been cool if ANY of the other actors would have played mentor roles, or it was cast 20 years later with one of them as a teacher or school counselor, or mother of a nasty / unpopular girl.
Fun Fact: The song playing during the cafeteria clique scene/Janice monologue is Psyche Rock by Pierre Henry and was the song that inspired the Futurama theme song. Anyone who feels it might be nostalgic, I'm glad to scratch that brain itch :)
I watched this when it first came out and I was so disappointed back then 😂 literally all the girls were from random Disney shows. Honestly this wouldn’t have been hated as much if it wasn’t marketed as a sequel to the original. Most Disney movies from this era were just as bad…
I honestly think if it was in Disney channel and they made it a kids movie it wouldve been received better they would've gotten compared to mean girls and it would've been like a mean girls for a different generation
So as someone who has used industrial strength many things....yes that glue would not have been viable by morning at all. Even Gorilla Glue and E6000 would have cured by the time she got on it. The glue WOULD still destroy the seat but if it weren't dry by morning it certainly wouldn't be dry by the time she got to school. Some do take several days to cure but again...those wouldn't have glued her to the bike like that by any means just utterly destroyed her clothing and Vespa seat. 😐
16:05 Claire Rhiannon Holt (born June 11, 1988) portrays the role of "Rebekah Mikaelson" in The Vampire Diaries (2009) and The Originals (2013). Her most notable roles are "Samara Cook" in Pretty Little Liars (2010), "Chastity Meyer" in Mean Girls 2 (2011) and "Emma Gilbert" in H2O: Just Add Water (2006)
I'm so glad that I don't have to watch Mean Girls 2, thank you Jaime for going through this torture so I don't have to. The "pathetically blind" cutaway was hilarious, your comedic timing is fantastic. The sequel is like a Disney Channel original movie with swearing (mild swearing, if that). The Plastics in this film are cartoonishly villainous, Mandi fails on what made Regina so relatable. Regina could be a real person with how underhanded and genuinely mean she is, how she takes such pleasure in destroying people's relationships. Well, thank god that most of the actors in this film ended up going onto better projects. For example: Claire Holt (Chastity in the film) ended up playing Rebekah in The Vampire Diaries/The Originals.
I love that the embarrassing photo is taken on an off-brand Blackberry. Also, because I am a dork, glues/adhesives can take 60 seconds to 24 hours to cure. Thanks for coming to my TED talk!
Yeah, "butt" if that glue takes that long to set, how did it manage to stick Jo to the seat so strongly that even with Abby's help she couldn't get off in just the amount of time it took her to ride to school?
The only time that I watched Mean Girls 2 was when it premiered on ABC Family (now Freeform) when I was in high school. I haven't watched it since because I was so disappointed. 😅
I really want a mean girls reunion movie with the original cast as them in their 30s going to a high-school reunion. I saw the fake trailer and im convinced it would be hilarious.
Oh yay! I was literally thinking last night that I wanted to ask you if you’d still be doing these movie reviews, now that you’re doing the brew segment. I’ll take this as a yes ❤
This movie was filmed in my hometown and working on the set was just as horrific as the movie. Multiple people working as extras were hospitalized with heat stroke/dehydration during a couple of the outdoor scenes.
I did woodwork as an elective in highschool and there was only one other girl in the class (who only picked it because I did). Half way through one of the terms she dropped out of the class and switched it out for another subject. It was so weird being the only girl in the class.

Mean girls was so iconic bc it was a change from the very common trope of loser to popular. Especially with how they developed each character further. Showing that regardless of stature, they are real ppl capable of forgiveness, remorse, acceptance etc. Rather than just characters. Regina and Katie’s “reunion” being a great example of that. The sequel just seems like a rush job, trying hard to be as good as the first but miserably failing.
"No groping south of the equator" I mean you're leaving a lot of gray area there.. probably should of just said no groping.. js
They need to make a second one with all of the same cast and tina fay writing it, and call it Mean Women.
Sex and the city already exists
@@equusquaggaquagga536 yeah but the original series is like….30 years old
I'd watch it
Starring Jenna Maroney lol.
And make it about them being pta moms or stage moms
I'll never forget staying with my aunt and uncle for a month through the summer and they had no internet so they asked me for a couple movies they could go rent for me and I said mean girls..... they came back with this mess. I'll never forgive them for this trauma.
I àm so sorry you went through this. 😢
You did NOT deserve that!
😢 I’m glad you got thru that! So strong!
Lmao 🤣
Rofl
Omg im so sorry 🤣 so brave, so stunning my dear!!
I laughed so hard at "...how is the ugliest house I've ever seen gonna prove Jo's innocence?" 🤣🤣🤣
SAME 😂
Me too
See, if the dad was paying me to be friends with his daughter, I would have immediately told her, and then figured out a way for us to have fun
Was the subplot of this movie,"Hey,let's make Tim Meadows as creepy as possible?!"In Mean Girls there was the underlying flirtyness with Tina Fey, but in this one,full on creeper😮
What’s funny is that every teen movie has crafted their own version of high school that simply does not exist anywhere...it’s basically “Hollywood High School” and everyone is familiar with it, despite being completely ridiculous 😆
The modern fairy tale land
I was actually homeschooled so thank you for telling me my whole imagined high school experience was a lie.
I always laugh how Hollywood envisions regular ordinary people's lives. It's so ridiculous.
I wonder if this is what it's like for the super rich? They live in a weird world that looks like this or they've completely made up what they think school is like for regular people
@@RenegadeContext I think they are just exaggerating “cliques” in American high school, which there definitely are. But they take it to the extreme where it borderlines absurdity.
"By the time I got to the football game the puking chiuaua felt like 6 years ago" is a really fun sentance both in and out of context
You never fail to make me giggle. You screaming, "Why are they in the WOODS!?" Made me bust out laughing like a maniac
The pathetically blind part got me😂
I had to watch it like 5 times 😅
This is the only TH-cam channel I watch that warns me about upcoming ad breaks, and I appreciate it.
It’s crazy because I don’t mind watching her ads/sponsors whereas other people I’d forward through all that!
With the whole posting the big secret in the newspaper, if I were Jo, I would’ve just casually been like, “nah, we’re friends, but if somebody offered you 50,000 to be friends with somebody who’s already your friend, would you turn it down? Easiest money ever, no offense to your dad. I need college money and I love you as a friend anyways so it’s a win/win.” 😂😂😂
I’m no glue expert, but my husband does flooring, and the type of glue he uses needs 24 hours to become the most “stickiest.”
I read this comment before getting to that part in the video and I'm strangely happy to see that she did actually ask for a glue expert 😅
I love how no matter what, you let Jessica keep her place at the end of the compilation.
I think it's the "thats embarrassing " part that fully encompasses all the falls. It's like a lovely bookend to the compilation.
Truly poetic
I was thinking the same thing! She just can’t lose that spot!
Content creators = artists!
Man I disagree 😂 its the least funny fall of them all. The compilation was smoother in the first few videos
Alternate ending: Jo turned into a Mean Girl after all and decided to attend Camp Rock instead of Carnegie Mellon University 😂
😂
I like “he be like im in” and catching things like the random hand crushing the latte, and the misspelling in the college letter. Really enjoy your work!
All I see is Tess from Camp Rock, Meena from Cory in the House, Harper from Wizards of Waverly Place, Emma from H2O: Just Add Water, and Macy from Jonas LA. 😂😭
Saaaaame!!!
Omfg 😂 didn't even realize 😅
I'd love to see a Mean girls from 2023! Plastics are diet tea pushing influencers who act super nice and everyone likes them, but someone drops a 45 minute youtube video expose them lmfaoooo.
In a high school context I imagine the plastics to be girls that danxe on tik tok
The mean girls would probably be girls like the main character in this movie. The pick-me’s
For a horror movie version, someone hacks their Instagram DMs and releases them in an anonymous TH-cam video!! 😱
Sounds cringe
Well, it was good after all
A lot of these actors are the same generation on Disney Channel. The protagonist was in Camp Rock. Mandy was in Cory in the House and the “loser” girl is Harper on Wizards of Waverly Place
And the dark haired minion, Hope I think? was in Jonas, that Jonas Brother show they did.
This movie is literally just Disney with cuss words
Not Disney but Chastity was on H2O: Just Add Water which was a popular Australian show that they aired on Nickelodeon. (Might have actually aired on Disney in other countries but I’m not entirely sure).
@@michelledawn7446 ur right! She was also in Vampire Diaries and The Originals
@@danitsaandaluz4116 aka peak cinema
she's spraying her legs to see if she turns into a mermaid and screams ohr nohr like her friend cleor
The most unbelievable thing about this movie is wanting to go to a college in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and being so desperate to go that your best friends dad has to pay for it.
You're editing skills is/are out of this world. So much of what is so funny (what are they doing in the woods? etc) are the cuts you put together. You're so talented I'm surprised other content creators haven't fabricated a reason to cancel you
There’s a part in the movie where Mandi tells Abby “Don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, don’t even breathe the same air as me,” and I couldn’t take her seriously with that Justice outfit
PLEASE never stop the female protagonist fall compilation. I love it.
Carnegie Mellon had been considered a prestigious school for a long time. Especially for computer science engineering. It just gets less mainstream attention because it isn't in the Ivy League list.
I just noticed something after seeing this video three times: The Carnegie Mellon letter was sent to her house in Ohio. The first mean girls, that shared the same high school was set in Evanston, Illinois. Of all the problems this movie had this had to be the one I fixated on lol
I love you girl, but Hello Fresh IS NOT cheaper than normal groceries. Especially since my groceries last far longer 😅
I would have named my anti-plastic group the Pyrexes...because Plastic is sooooo toxic. This is why I don't have friends and wear moccasins like Abby's.
Ok, the pyrexes is brilliant. 🙌🏼✨
I want you to know I cackled out loud at every "i'm in" joke... yes its not even that funny but to me its gold
why is it so funnnyyyyy 🤣🤣
Definitely a better joke than the entire plot of this movie..
@@jaimefrenchofficial sometimes the lowest hanging fruit tastes the best...
@@southernladyish FACTS! Jaime is the only thing that made this watchable, thank god for her!
"Stop it. Get some help" makes me cackle every time!
I like to think that Jaime just has a Premiere file that lives on her desktop called 'COOL GIRL FALL COMPILATION' that she just opens up every time she needs to add a clip.
*Female protagonist fall compilation* file. 😅
I'm curious where you got the "cool" part from
@@tonichan89 sarcasm
"How's the ugliest house I've even seen gonna prove her innocence?". I literally LOL'd. 😂
My husband and I just recently found your TH-cam channel and we both agree you are the funniest human being we have ever come across! We can’t seem to eat, drink, smoke etc while watching your videos because we can’t stop laughing and eventually have to take a break from watching just to make our stomaches stop hurting🤣 We love you!!!!
Relationship goals
Have you seen JonTron? He has a very similar vibe to Jaime! I think you'd like his stuff
"I thought he looked sisterly" just made me laugh so hard
he did
I had no idea you were speeding up the video for copyright reasons until you said so! I was just convinced that they found people with hysterically high pitched voices because they didn't have budget for actors anyone had heard of. 😂
SAME! 😂😂
The sheer amount of distress I felt at seeing that poor dog in the trash can made me question my sanity
Same..
Same, I wanna fish the poor creature out of the trash and give it a good home
Yeah that’s weird
that dog deserves a better owner... actually, it deserves to be in a better movie😔
Throwing away your purse with your wallet, phone, credit cards AND dog, is a whole new mood...
I never saw the Mean Girls 2 because I didn't recognize the actors and it didn't have Lindsey.
😂 Thank you Nick, for reading the social media conversation 😂❤
I love the "pathetically blind" scene y'all put together. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Joe is a straight up pick me girl
I remember watching this at a girls 13th birthday party when it came out of DVD and absolutely hating it everyone else wanted to finish it and was genuinely painful to sit through when you're expecting it to be good like the original 😤
The use of Molly Shannon’s “so just..stick that in your back pocket..” made me high tone giggle, and I’ve had a kinda bad night 💝
My brain also played "keepyour stupid comments in your pocket!" from The Room 😊
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how Jamie strategically places her midrolls so they don't distract from the content. Brilliant!
Literally why does NO ONE ELSE
As for Carnegie Mellon… 12 years ago annual tuition was 30 or 60k+? Cannot remember if the 30k was per semester or per year. So yeah 50k. Just a portion.
"H-hope you didn't have any bugles in there." That killed me.. lmao
I binge watch Jamie and Nick Diramio as comfort series every single day, I always truly appreciate new content! Thank you Jamie
We crave a collab
Same
@@celo7carvalho i would simply faint
I love Nick too! ❤
Same! Collab needed!
I watched Mean Girls for the first time just last night. I was honestly dreading it, but came out of the film having had a great time and genuinely enjoying it. So seeing this video’s thumbnail and finding out THIS existed brought an insane amount of dread into my fragile heart. If it wasn’t for Jamie I would’ve just started laying on my bed and staring at the ceiling for half an hour.
The original movie was actually really good.
I have so many questions...why would you dread watching a bonified classic like Mean Girls? And why would you force yourself to watch a movie that you're already dreading??
@shannon celeste I was also ignoring the movie for a while after it came out. It came out I think a year after I graduated from high school and I just wasn't really vibing with my generation at the time so I thought it would be a dumb teen movie with all the things I hated from early 2000s. But then I did watch it one night (maybe couple of years after it came out) as it was on TV and fell in love with it. It definitely stands the test of time for me.
Now I love to rewatch it for nostalgia of the very thing I avoided at the time, mainly the terrible fashion and the music haha
Dreading it? Aw.
@@julesrules7297 I know. I already quite resent that. Definitely wish I was a lot more open-minded going into it. Didn’t really hinder my enjoyment of it though.
That BetterHelp commercial almost had me in tears. I was hanging onto every word of what he was saying the first time I saw it. Very relatable.
I literally don’t remember this lol😂😂😂. The fact that they had the audacity to remake the ICONIC Mean Girls is crazy😂😂😂.
It's not a remake, it's a sequel. But still, the audacity
It might have been cool if ANY of the other actors would have played mentor roles, or it was cast 20 years later with one of them as a teacher or school counselor, or mother of a nasty / unpopular girl.
Fun Fact: The song playing during the cafeteria clique scene/Janice monologue is Psyche Rock by Pierre Henry and was the song that inspired the Futurama theme song. Anyone who feels it might be nostalgic, I'm glad to scratch that brain itch :)
Thank you!!
- Lee Lemon
Thank you!
Thank youuuuu!
I watched this when it first came out and I was so disappointed back then 😂 literally all the girls were from random Disney shows. Honestly this wouldn’t have been hated as much if it wasn’t marketed as a sequel to the original. Most Disney movies from this era were just as bad…
I honestly think if it was in Disney channel and they made it a kids movie it wouldve been received better they would've gotten compared to mean girls and it would've been like a mean girls for a different generation
The "pathetically blind" scene was hilarious 😂
"hopefully there weren't any bugles in there" jaime this is why i love you omg
Do you have merch? I need a "Who Wrote This?" shirt and "It's not all fun and kettle corn" 🤣
I like to use your female protagonist fall compilation to make sure I haven’t missed one of these videos 😂😂
So as someone who has used industrial strength many things....yes that glue would not have been viable by morning at all. Even Gorilla Glue and E6000 would have cured by the time she got on it. The glue WOULD still destroy the seat but if it weren't dry by morning it certainly wouldn't be dry by the time she got to school. Some do take several days to cure but again...those wouldn't have glued her to the bike like that by any means just utterly destroyed her clothing and Vespa seat. 😐
I love that you filmed the eye doctor scene in a vet's exam room 😂
oh good, i'm glad someone else paused it on that shot and spent way too long looking at it for no particular reason
16:05 Claire Rhiannon Holt (born June 11, 1988) portrays the role of "Rebekah Mikaelson" in The Vampire Diaries (2009) and The Originals (2013). Her most notable roles are "Samara Cook" in Pretty Little Liars (2010), "Chastity Meyer" in Mean Girls 2 (2011) and "Emma Gilbert" in H2O: Just Add Water (2006)
I'm so glad that I don't have to watch Mean Girls 2, thank you Jaime for going through this torture so I don't have to. The "pathetically blind" cutaway was hilarious, your comedic timing is fantastic. The sequel is like a Disney Channel original movie with swearing (mild swearing, if that).
The Plastics in this film are cartoonishly villainous, Mandi fails on what made Regina so relatable. Regina could be a real person with how underhanded and genuinely mean she is, how she takes such pleasure in destroying people's relationships.
Well, thank god that most of the actors in this film ended up going onto better projects. For example: Claire Holt (Chastity in the film) ended up playing Rebekah in The Vampire Diaries/The Originals.
Was on a marathon, rewatching old Jamie French videos, and got this notification! Couldn’t be more perfect 🤩
The meaner Jo or Abby got the more powerful the bump-it grew. I honestly don't know which is which.
I love that the embarrassing photo is taken on an off-brand Blackberry.
Also, because I am a dork, glues/adhesives can take 60 seconds to 24 hours to cure.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk!
Yeah, "butt" if that glue takes that long to set, how did it manage to stick Jo to the seat so strongly that even with Abby's help she couldn't get off in just the amount of time it took her to ride to school?
“Stop it. Get some help.” I wasn’t ready for that and I died a little.
Brooooo your editing is better than any movie I’ve ever seen honestly, please do not stop making these they heal my soul 😂
The only time that I watched Mean Girls 2 was when it premiered on ABC Family (now Freeform) when I was in high school. I haven't watched it since because I was so disappointed. 😅
Ever since I started watching your videos, I’ve been WAITING for this one and the scene where Jo is glued to on her scooter thing and falls 😂
Jaime being given the devastating news that she's pathetically blind had me weak... 😅
Also the glue my dad used as a mechanic, it was sticky feeling. You'd know you sat on it.
I really want a mean girls reunion movie with the original cast as them in their 30s going to a high-school reunion. I saw the fake trailer and im convinced it would be hilarious.
That would be amazing! We all deal with this same middle-school level bullying crap as adults in work situations all the time!
Super bad day. Heartbroken.
TH-cam to numb the pain.
Jaime came out with a new video?
Everything is ok for 39 mins.
Thanks Jaime❤
❤
Your drug of choice. There are worse decisions!! LOL
Jamie as an egg:
"Why would they show the egg carton?"😂that sent me🤣🤣🤣
Oh yay! I was literally thinking last night that I wanted to ask you if you’d still be doing these movie reviews, now that you’re doing the brew segment. I’ll take this as a yes ❤
All of your "im in" jokes gave me life😂😂😂
This movie was filmed in my hometown and working on the set was just as horrific as the movie. Multiple people working as extras were hospitalized with heat stroke/dehydration during a couple of the outdoor scenes.
I did woodwork as an elective in highschool and there was only one other girl in the class (who only picked it because I did). Half way through one of the terms she dropped out of the class and switched it out for another subject. It was so weird being the only girl in the class.
The “hi sisters” was a jump-scare for me
I read that they filmed this in like 20 days... you can definitely tell
More like written in 20 minutes 💀
@@aimeperez469 I don't think they even wrote a script, seems more like they made it up on the spot
2:04 - 2:08 - I wish that the writers and producers of Mean Girls 2 got that message.
I always wondered what this movie was like. Thank you for taking one for the team and checking it out for us
I genuinely just love watching Jamie reviewing these movies🤣🤣
