Tina Fey hopes gay men will always quote from Mean Girls at brunch
Nothing makes Tina Few happier than to know that plenty of gay men still enjoy quoting her 2004 movie Mean Girls over brunch.
It seems that lines like ‘Stop trying to make fetch happen!’ ‘Is butter a carb?’ and ‘Boo, you whore’ just don’t get old.
‘I hope that’s still going on,’ Fey tells The Advocate.
Then she jokes: ‘I have a really weird marketing point in my deal that I don’t get any money when it shows on TBS, but I do get money when it’s quoted at brunch.’
Fey wrote the script and had a supporting role in the movie about female high school social cliques that starred Linday Lohan. Rachel McAdams, Tina Fey, Lacey Chabert, Lizzy Caplan, Daniel Franzese, Jonathan Bennett and Amanda Seyfried.
She did not anticipate it would become such a cult classic among gay men.
‘I didn’t, but Damian (Franzese), the gay character, was in every draft. Someone once asked me, “How come everyone’s sort of paired off at the end but we don’t see what happens to Damian?” I said, “Because it’s a movie about girls.” We should’ve made another movie about Damian.’
As for her own high school days, Fey has described that time as the ‘four-year-long pride parade’ that marched through her house.
She thinks she had so many gay and lesbian friends during that time because ‘I’m certainly more open-minded to people’s differences.
‘it definitely gave me a wider swath of humor styles. I grew up so much in theater, so the gay community has always been a natural part of who I feel like I’m playing to. When you’re writing jokes, you’re always thinking of your friends.’
