Guys. Can we just talk about how if all of these women starred in a hilarious ensemble comedy about good Mormon housewives who go on some wacky and rather non-pious adventure, it would be the greatest thing to ever exist? Where someone like, gets drunk for the first time, and someone else has Mountain Dew for the first time, and someone else nails Armie Hammer? Somebody make it happen.

This post brought to you by my train of thought re. the dearth of hilarious blonde women in Hollywood.

If SNL is Hogwarts, Lorne Michaels is Dumbledore, and these are — or were, whatever — your heads of house. Amy is tough but fights the good fight, Seth is cerebral and snarky, Bill is sunny and polite, and Tina is ambitious and self-preservative. Also, it’s super hard to find good pictures of Bill Hader.

All we care about is
Pornographic girls on film and body plastic
Give me something
I wanna see television and hot blondes in odd positions

Scandalwood (2012) — Five years ago, Archer Halsey (Paul Rudd) quit his thankless job at FEMA to do something less useful with his life. Rather than spending another year helping rebuild cities after natural disasters, he moved to Los Angeles and started a celebrity crisis management firm, helping stars recover after career and PR missteps. Since its inception, Halsey CCM has amassed a crack team of public relations experts, including his brash, blunt former Capitol Hill coworker Diane Baylor (Allison Janney), a well-connected Beverly Hills-born-and-bred celebrity publicist, Cori Griffith (Amy Poehler), and quirky, soft-spoken gay romantic Nolan Peters (Lee Pace). Together, they’ve managed to save the careers of vacant, substance-addled paparazzi princesses (Mila Kunis and Megan Fox), overpaid, mentally ill sitcom stars (Jason Bateman), and well-liked Hollywood stars whose marriages fall apart due to audacious affairs with dozens of women (Ryan Reynolds, Morgan Freeman, and Tom Hanks. As themselves.). But when Chuck Finn (Jeff Bridges), a beloved American movie star with a squeaky-clean reputation, begins a self-destructive spiral of offensive comments and all-around reprehensible misbehavior, the team is faced with their most challenging case yet.

Graceland - Paul Simon
My traveling companion is nine years old, he’s the child of my first marriage.
But I have reason to believe we both will be received in Graceland.
She comes back to tell me she’s gone.
As if I didn’t know that, as if I didn’t know my own bed.
As if I’d never noticed the way she brushed her hair from her forehead.
And she said losing love is like a window in your heart.
Everybody sees you’re torn apart.

The Split (2011) — Jon and Carolyn Kirkman (Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey) had the perfect marriage: a beautiful Brooklyn house, a gifted son (Kodi Smit-McPhee), tons of disposable income, you name it. And yet they can’t stand each other. So when they cheerfully announce their impending divorce at a yacht party meant to celebrate their anniversary, their acquaintances are stunned and stricken to lose the joint rocks at the center of their social circle — all but their happily divorced best friends, Peter and Jillian Randall (Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler). The ex-Randalls become wrapped up in the Kirkmans’ divorce while trying to help their friends through this difficult time in their lives, and when sparks fly between two unexpected people, the result is a delicious farce — think Neil Simon meets Judd Apatow. Or something like that. Kind of. I don’t know!

Hey, look at this quality Asssscat lineup posing like your college improv troupe! Circa 2004, I believe.

Amy Poehler: Last week on our show, Ashlee Simpson was caught lip-syncing. Since the incident, numorous celebrities have spoken out against the controversy, including Avril Lavigne, who said that lip-syncing pop stars are “pathetic,” adding, “BLAH, I’M A PUNK! RRRRUH!” Then Alanis Morrissette was like, “Stop it, you guys, she said she was sorry,” and then Courtney Love was like, “BLEGH!” and then Madonna was like, “Kabbalah, Kabbalah, and Kabbalah Kabbalah,” and Britney Spears was like, “Y’all, I’m embarrassed for her, I swear to God!” and then Eve was like, “Whatevuh,” and Jessica Simpson was like, “WHOAAAA WHOAAA WHOA WHOA WHOOOOOOAAH WHOAAA WEE WHOA” and then Clay Aiken was like, “OH MY GOD YOU GUYS I CAN’T LOOK!”
