It's relatable and comedic genius. Everyone knows the quotes by heart from the on-going replays and we seriously can't believe that it's been 11 years since Mean Girls aired.
Yes Millennials, we are old. And we've probably held on to these Mean Girls quotes by heart. And we've probably even said them again and again while thinking of all the cr*p that's happening in Philippine politics and/or social media.
Mainly, these:
1. Calling Jessy Mendiola fat won't make you any skinnier
That time Jessy Mendiola was bombarded with fat-comments. IMHO, Jessy Mendiola is gorgeous. We don't entirely like her but maybe it's something other than what she looks like. FYI, calling her fat or objectifying how she physically looks like just shows a nasty side of you.
2. Is Potato Corner a carb?
Yes, bes. Yes.
That one friend who keeps saying she wants to lose weight but ends up stuffing her face aka all of us.
Me: Ate, pwede padagdagan ng barbeque powder?
3. If you're from the Philippines, why can you speak good English?
The Philippines' second language is English. It may be because of the colonization of the Americans, or that English proficiency is part of our curriculum or that our parents talked in English and it became our first language. Either/or, doesn't matter.
4. Raise your hand if you've ever been personally victimized by Mocha Uson
Mocha has a very black and white understanding of politics. It's either you support the President blindly or you are a kultong dilawan, or a YellowTard. Which means that every Duterte critic is up for public scrutiny. She would post commentaries from people calling out the president and her army of 4 Million followers have threatened critics left and right.
5. I wish we could all go back to the time where we would all get along and not fight each other on social media
6. Liza Soberano is flawless
7. People's reasoning when they try to body-shame Jessy Mendiola
8. This would be a very dangerous thing to say
9. You wanna do something fun? Want to go to Jollibee?
The answer is always YES.

Sorry Leila.
11. Maja-Gerald-Kim issue is "Irregardless!"
