"Okay, they need to do something about this school bus driver." I spit out my drink laughing when she said that.

Tina Fey is not only memorable as a teacher in this, but she also wrote the script.

I think fugly is just another way of saying "fucking ugly".

"Okay, they need to do something about this school bus driver, you know?" That was funnier than the entire film 🤣

Tina Fey is brilliant, this movie is hilariously honest, just like Clueless and The Breakfast Club. "Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen, it's not going to happen!!”

I still remember when I was much younger, I had the wrongful opinion that this is a girly movie for girls. Then I reached the age of reason and realized just how genuinely good it is. Brilliant writing, affable cast, relevant plot. It appeals to everyone.

"411" is slang for information or gossip. It's because, before the internet was widely used, you could dial 411 on a phone to reach local "directory assistance" -- essentially an operator with a copy of the phone book for your area who would help you find a phone number you wanted (and probably connect you once they found it). It's a 3-digit number ending in 11 just like 911 because it, too, was a public service.

I’m not even embarrassed to say that I legitimately do love this movie.

"Okay, they need to do something about this school bus driver, you know?" Good point! 🤣

Mean Girls is basically a 21st century version of 1989's Heathers, with Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.

*This movie is so fetch!*

411 is the number for "Information". It's less popular now that the phone book is basically dead. When phone books were a big deal, 411 could verbally tell you anything that was in the white pages.

You can't sit with us! 😂

I love Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert and Amanda Seyfried so much in this 😂

This was funny, I never understood why girls were so mean to other girls, but that's the way it was in my school, you should watch "Carrie (1976)" and "The Craft (1996) "Clueless (1995)" or "Heathers (1988)" they all have that same feel to them some are a little darker.

🤣😂 they really need to do something about that bus driver🤣😂

Literally sooo iconic. Such a quotable movie!

I was LMAO when the principal says we have a new student from Africa, and she welcomes the wrong student. "411" is the phone number you call for information in the United States to get someones phone number. I rewatched two of your oldest comedy reactions last night, Dasha. They were "Super Bad" and "Ghostbusters". You've come a long way, Kiddo. I new you would enjoy this girl power film, for good or bad, Dasha. Great reactions for this fun comedy!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

My high school was like this, but a 100 times worse. I never in 4 years there saw the inside of the cafeteria or a bathroom because those were treated as "exclusive" properties of some students.

Other comedy movies you might enjoy are "Easy A" and Bridesmaids.

2:01 "He looked." 🙂

3:50 this is incredibly accurate to my school in America. football players sat together, emo kids sat together, nerds sat together, people were friends beyond those lines pretty rarely, but at lunch you sat with your people

Most adorable reaction. As for my high school experience,there was never any "Queen B's". As a Freshman,I was "Normal". Sophomore, Junior to Senior year,I decided to be a "wild man". Nobody ever bullied me that much since I was on the weight lifting team. Good times. I saw plenty of fights and been in a few lockdowns. Never been suspended but I had detention for being late once. I never got into any fights. I played football briefly but it got cut due to budget cuts and learning of concussions. Some of the people I started Freshman year with didnt make it to Senior year.

4- 1-1 is a telephone number for local directory assistance in Canada and the United States. Until the early 1980s, 4-1-1 and the related 1-1-3 number were free to call in most states. In the United States, the service is commonly known as "information", although its official name is "directory assistance". As a result, 4-1-1 is commonly used in Canada and the United States as a slang word for "information".

Yes it's kind of like that in high school more and less.

Tina Fey attended my High School and I like to think Mean Girls is based on her experience there

I was low key disappointed that my American high school wasn’t as entertaining as the movie. My high school experience was completely uneventful and boring. Then again, at least I didn’t have to worry about getting attacked by certain groups just because I sat at the wrong lunch table 😂

*Without **_Heathers_** (1989) this movie would not be possible.*

Tina Fey and Tim Meadows make this film so good

3:21 Dasha demonstrating the boob ball bounce right after she saw it was very hot 😅

*23:52* *Cady Heron* confesses to *Mr. Duvall* and everyone, that she is the one who wrote it on the *BURN BOOK.*

I didn't even realize. The dad is "The Janitor" in Scrubs... One of my top three shows ever made.

Dasha, you were so popular that you didn't notice that some kids were outcasts.

Yes, school cafeterias are like that; as are all shared areas. I didn't eat lunch at school a single time from 7th - 11th grade. 😔 Then I just quit school.

This is so funny. Tina Fey is brilliant

I wonder if she's seen Heathers (the original from 1989). I don't remember Tina Fey's exact wording, but I think she did admit Mean Girls was like Heathers.

I still remember my first time seeing this movie and instantly fell in love. I had it on DVD in Jr high/high school and it became the movie I'd watch any time I stayed home sick, such a comfort movie 🥰🥰🥰

17:36 "...it was the first and last party of my own."

I once threw a toga party with some roommates. We went all out, got a keg and made jello shots. A bunch of people showed up (so many that we had to deal with police because of all the cars on the street). We even set up a slip-n-slide in the backyard 😂

A lot of people already mentioned 'Heathers' 1989. Another good mean girl react would be 'Jawbreaker' 1999, more of a dark comedy. Also, Fugly=F*cking Ugly.

For an emotional Rachel McAdams movie, I recommend The Notebook (2004) -- but be sure to bring tissues!

This movie probably would never have existed without 1989's "Heathers".

My high school was huge. There were probably a few cliques like this among the cheerleaders and varsity sports teams, but they didn't have much influence over the rest of the students. Lunches were staggered because there wasn't room in the cafeteria for everyone to eat at the same time, even though the cafeteria was also huge and there wasn't really any way to predict where there would be room to sit, even for the popular kids. There was certainly no way for one girl to know everyone's business and completely dominate the social life of the school.

I first saw this movie on the airplane back from a vacation in the USA and I literally yelled when Regina got hit by the bus. Unfortunately this was during the "night time" on the plane, so this netted me quite a few dirty looks.

I went to high school in the 80's in the U.S. and all the groups were very segregated and separated from each other, especially during lunch.

I love the bus driver 🤣🤣

This did get turned into a Broadway show which is currently being turned back into a movie.

I guess you need to see "Heathers" now, if you haven't already. And "Clueless."

"30% chance it's already raining"

If you haven't seen Easy A or Booksmart yet, I HIGHLY recommend

One Sylvester Stallone movie I think you will like is called "Tango and Cash" which came out in 1989.

It doesn't matter what age you are or when you see this. It's a clever and fun bit of film with a message which becomes the plot hook. Everyone was well cast and the editing kept the story moving. No complaints upon multiple views from a guy eligible for senior discounts. Is this America? No, it's Hollywood, but that's kind of close.

This is why I dropped out in middle school and went straight to college! ;)

One of the the most iconic movies of all time

22:55 😮😮😮 😆😆😆

411 is information on phones in the US. It is mostly used to find phone numbers. It's a bit obsolete vs the internet. Some people may still use it because they don't have a phone w/ internet. Fuggly is F-in' ugly.

22:54 - 22:57 Let me guess, the number on that bus was 180.

I only saw this movie for the first time a couple years ago, and I found it hilarious. I've lived in the U.S. all my life, but I have a few issues that made it impossible to attend a real school, so I have no idea if the school is split into cliques like in this movie or not. I suppose it could be. It wouldn't surprise me. I'm pretty sure if these kinds of groups are a thing, I would have been at a table alone somewhere. I can be a lot. Not many people have the patience to deal with me.

I saw your thumbnail and said to myself, 'oh you'll love this!'

Its also worth considering mean girls 2 that is actually not bad, as well as clueless that is a fairly simular type of movie

Can you imagine watching this movie in theatre? I did 4 days after came out 👍❣️

The baseball bat thing is a send up of the Morgan Freeman movie LEAN ON ME

This movie is a bit of an exaggeration of what U.S. high school was. There were clicks, but sometimes they overlapped. There aren't any rules of separation. It was all organic and happened naturally. But most teenage girls are petty mostly because they are naïve.

Try 10 Things I Hate About You. It's a late 90s high school/teen movie classic.

You really put out an impressive amount of contact

Mean Girls=Heathers "lite"

12:06 ... well... i was schooling in my daughter at primary school, and that was pretty much what the 6 graders no-days wear on a Tuesday.

Fun one, Dasha! 😆

Hey Dasha, If you like this you should check out "Easy A".

I like your reaction!

I recommend you check out 17 Again

Your reactions are great. 😊❤

I remember seeing mean girls and I loved it.

She doesn’t even go here‼️

This all so much sense now. Dasha is always so sweet and innocent... because she did not attend a north american high school. I can't imagine attending a high school without cliques

I remember drinking beer at eating hotwings with the guys and we where like what should we watch lmao 🤣 we watched Mean Girls haha

This movie is far better than it has any right to be. I was totally uninterested originally, it seemed like just another dumb teen romcom targeted at 16 year old girls, until a friend of mine, who is ironically a chauvinistic pig, insisted I give it a shot. Suffice it to say I loved it then and still do today. There's also a Mean Girls musical that's got some banger songs in it. Apex Predator is awesome as is Stop but I especially enjoy Karen's Halloween song Sexy. It's simple and goofy but catchy as hell. Granted Karen's hands down my favorite character in both the movie and the musical but it's great regardless.

I like this movie because it’s like an exaggerated version of my high school 😂

I hate when movies try to make 'high school girls' look sexy!! That is the dad coming out of me:)

16:39 How a pawg is bad?, bullying in the us is nonsense

yes, this is quite accurate as of the '80s dunno about more recently.

Recommending " Not another teen movie" 😅

Your reaction was SO FETCH!!!

I watched this movies twice

LEGENDARY MOVIE!!!!!! " Somebody wrote in that book that I'm lying about being a virgin, 'cause I use super-jumbo tampons, but I can't help it if I've got a heavy flow and a wide-set vagina!" Epic line

Great reaction. ❤for the Scrubs reference.

You're wondering if the depictions of American high school life is true? I'd say, sure, there are some exaggerations but it's all at least half true. The more affluent the school's population is, the more socially dangerous and treacherous it can be.

411 is an information hotline in usa you call

You go Glenn Coco!!!

How about reacting to Now You See Me 1 and 2?

Be a good girl, don't worry about popularity!

I loved this!

Good movie 🏁

My high school was nothing like that. At best we had jocks & nerds, and there was no special seating arrangements. This was one of Lindsay Lohan's good movies before she went whacko on us.

I went to a boys' high school, so we just tried to avoid knife fights.

*I love this movie!* 💖💖💖💖

This whole set up was pretty foreign to me as well; my school didn't have these types of cliqs. You hung out with your friends, whom you usually met in your classrooms your freshman year. Plus, I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; pretty ghetto city even back then (I hear it's only gotten worse since I moved out in '09). What made it worse was that the city has a predominately black population, making me oftentimes the only white kid in the class, which was only made a concerning factor by the serious problem of racism that seemed to run rampant in that city. More often than not, my classmates were okay people that I got along with just fine, but with how widespread racism was--and still is--in Milwaukee, it was rare that I ever had a class that didn't have at least one racist kid in it. And since I was usually the only white kid in the class, it's not like they had a plethora of choices on who to bully with that racism. Interesting tidbit about the movie: Rachel McAdams was already 25 in real life while protraying this high school student lol.

The hot chick is another stupid funny movie

LL was my crush until she started acting crazy haha

Unfortunately this is way too accurate about American schools lol
