Once in a blue moon, a movie enters the cultural zeitgeist in a way like no other. In 2004, that movie was “Mean Girls.” Written by comedic legend, Tina Fey, and directed by indie film icon, Mark Waters, “Mean Girls” was originally adapted from the book Queen Bees and Wannabes, written by Rosalind Wiseman.
When teenage Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) is moved from South Africa to the suburbs of Illinois, the sheltered teen is finally exposed to the trials and tribulations of public school. Cady unwittingly finds herself in the good graces of the most popular clique on campus, dubbed “the Plastics,” and learns how to navigate all the pressure that comes with being popular for posterity’s sake.
“Mean Girls” transcends the limitations of many female driven comedies and has solidified itself as pop culture royalty. The film is riddled with relentlessly quotable lines, memorable characters, and side-splitting plot points.
Without further ado, here are 25 insanely iconic quotes from “Mean Girls.”
