Let’s forget the fact that eventually this show brought a rival Erin to my TV every week, because there are so many other ways this show has ruined my life. I will forever love John Krasinski (and my “I Heart Jim” mug) and his facial expressions, I love everything about Kelly Kapoor but definitely her casual Friday outfit is one of the best things ever.

When I met Melora Hardin for work I played it cool until she was leaving where I gushed, “Jan singing ‘Son a Preacher Man’ is one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen in my life” and I can’t look at Herr’s chips without thinking about calling up a store to find a specific flavor. And don’t ever show me a George Foreman grill again because I will ask you if you cooked your foot.

Also, remember when Amy Adams was on The Office? And Artie from Glee? And everyone in the world?

Here are five ways The Office ruined my life:

1. Let’s Be Honest: Pam and Jim

Let’s cut to the chase, guys. The biggest life ruiner of this show is Jim and Pam. There is nothing more life ruin-y than their entire story and relationship.

I just re-watched “Casino Night” recently and, obviously, cried.

Since I can’t emotionally handle getting too into the Jim/Pam love story here are some handy bullets.

• Any moment when Jim is so in love with Pam and Pam is with Roy. Soul-crushing.
• Kevin’s revelation about their names being PB&J. Killer.
• His gift to her for Secret Santa.
• Them in Jim’s bedroom, looking at his stuff. Ugh.
• Every single Jim/Pam moment in “Booze Cruise.” Especially Amy Adams doing her old cheer and her and Roy getting along.
• When he comes back from NY, interrupts Pam’s interview, she turns her head away for him to ask her out, she turns back and has tears in her eyes. I’m dead.

Everything from their wedding including when he cuts his tie and how amazing Pam looks on the boat, soaking wet. (Though, really, HOW DID THEY DRY OFF SO QUICKLY?!) Whatever, it’s fine.

THIS MOMENT IS EVERYTHING

I love you, Jim and Pam.

2. Always Think About Michael and Andy While Running

This past weekend some friends of mine and I ran The Color Run. Obviously my friend Jessie immediately brought up the infamous “Fun Run” episode of The Office.

It is all I can think of whenever anyone is talking about running or participating in a fun run. Joking about eating a ton of fettuccini alfredo, joking about Andy’s sore nipples and definitely talking about not drinking water since people with rabies have an irrational fear of water.

Guys, how adorable is this picture? I can’t even handle it.

Michael Scott: Finishing that 5K was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I ate more fettuccini Alfredo and drank less water than I have in my entire life. People always talk about triumphs of the human spirit. Well, today, I had a triumph of the human body. That’s why everybody was applauding for me at the end, my guts and my heart. And while I eventually puked my guts out, I never puked my heart out. I’m very, very proud of that.

Also, the entire day leading up to it all we did was talk about “carbo loading,” obviously.

3. Anything I Want to do in an Office or With Co-Workers is Because of The Office

I work in TV so sometimes my “office” experience is not like other office experiences. But, at the end of the day, someone is still buying office supplies, there’s still a kitchen for people to not take care of, and there are still times when you just have to laugh at your boss.

Pretty much everything that I want out of an office experience I learned from watching The Office.

I am always up for team bonding activities outside of work like the Booze Cruise. One time my department even went on a white water rafting trip to Pennsylvania.

I always want working late to be like Jim and Karen and Andy working late at Dunder Miflin Scranton. And whenever we have any down time I definitely want to be involved in Office Olympics and have an office-wide secret Santa at Christmastime (hopefully with a cute co-worker who has a crush on me – duh, in this world I’m not married).

4. That’s What She Said Jokes Will Always Make Me Laugh

Obviously, as Liz Lemon says, “Steve Carrell OWNS ‘that’s what she said.’” (Definitely watch that clip to remember that scene and also to be like, “There’s The Mother!”) But that doesn’t stop everyone from doing “that’s what she said” jokes.

At my last job we became obsessed with doing “that’s what she said” jokes. The jokes are so immature and so good and almost better when they make no sense (that’s what she said). And I COULD NOT STOP DOING THEM.

My last week of work on that show, I said “that’s what she said” after almost everything anyone said near me. Yes, if you’re wondering, I AM very popular IRL.

It’s a disease and it can’t be stopped. And it’s all Michael Scott’s fault.

Please take a look back at his “that’s what she said” jokes here. This video was only recently pointed out to me and now I’ve watched it approximately 75 gajillion times.

One thing I love is talking about TV series and recapping all their twists and turns. So here I present you with my first installation of 2 Minute TV Recaps. Which is exactly what it sounds like.

I’m starting with Dawson’s Creek and taking you through my love of Pacey Witter, my pain over Jen Lindley’s life and all the happenings on the Creek.

Enjoy! And write to me here or anywhere else on the internet for other shows you want to see a 2 Minute TV Recap of!

The post 2 Minute TV Recaps: Dawson’s Creek appeared first on HelloGiggles.

I saw this movie for the first time in 2002 and being a longtime fan of pretty much everyone in that movie – and especially Paul Rudd (I will watch Overnight Delivery WHENEVER it is on), I quickly became obsessed with it. Little did I realize Bradley Cooper would turn into a huge movie star (he’ll always be Ben to me and I hope he and McKinley are happy) and don’t even get me started on my excitement for Christopher Meloni. (Okay, I’ve already written about him approximately 1000435897345 times so you probably already know.)

I love the douchebag joke, I always refer to arts and crafts as “arts and farts and crafts” and I’m forever envious of Marguerite Moreau’s looks and hair and clothing.

So here we go…five ways Wet Hot American Summer ruined my life:

1. Convinced Being a Camp Counselor is The Greatest Job of All Times

Obviously, the horrible truth of Wet Hot American Summer is that it makes me want to be a summer camp counselor.

This is a picture of my friends dressed for a midnight screening of WHAS. There were no pics of all three of us and their outfits were better than mine. Duh.

It just seems like the best job: make out with Paul Rudd, have Janeane Garofalo as a boss, barely have to try to keep the kids alive…sounds perfect.

When I was a kid I always wanted to go to sleepaway camp. Well, I thought I did. The one time I even went to day camp I got too upset being away from my grandparents that I only went for a day and a half. (My social anxiety is deep-seated.)

2. I Become Andy If I Have To Do Anything I Don’t Want to Do

I’m just warning you, a lot of this list is going to have to do with Paul Rudd. I just gravitate to him and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.

The scene when he’s in the cafeteria, throws his plates to the ground then Janeane Garofalo makes him pick it up…is amazing.

His body movements and sounds are in total Erin territory. I’m kind of like a parrot in that when I like something (or really if I just hear a Southern accent) I want to repeat it until the end of time.

So when I see Paul Rudd’s awesome movements, I want to do them forever and always. And his reaction to a simple task is everything that I could ever want from my life.

3. Has Changed the Way I Think About Making Plans With Friends

Look, I’m going to be honest here. Is ANY brunch easy to plan? Unless I’m leaving from the same apartment as my brunch companion, the answer is always no.

The same goes for any plan with friends once it involves more than two people. It’s always an email or text chain of, “I don’t know, whatever YOU want!” “11am is a little early!” Or you know you’ll get there on time and someone will be late and you won’t get seated. Repeat this until the end of time.

So much like I reference Clueless whenever figuring out rides home, I always think about Wet Hot American Summer when planning events for the future.

Susie: You guys, I’m really going to miss this place.
Coop: Me too.
Ben: Hey, let’s all promise that in ten years from today, we’ll meet again, and we’ll see what kind of people we’ve blossomed into.
Susie: Yeah!
Ben: What time do you wanna meet?
J.J.: You mean ten years from now?
Coop: Let’s meet in the morning so we can make a day of it.
Susie: Okay, so what is it? Is it like 9:00? 9:30?
Coop: Well, let’s say 9:00, that way we can be here by 9:30.
McKinley: Well, no, why don’t we say 9:30, and then make it your beeswax to be here by 9:30? I mean, we’ll all be in our late 20s by then. I just don’t see any reason why we can’t be places on time.
Gary: Okay, then, it’s settled. 9:30 it is. All agreed?
Together: Agreed.
McKinley: Good, because I have something at 11:00.

Gary: You’ve got a trapper keeper full of appointments, right?

McKinley: No, I have something at 11:00 that I can’t change ’cause I already moved it twice.

Now, one way to look like you’re using a crazy weight loss product is to put yourself into some crazy Spanx. But what if the Spanx themselves helped you lose weight? Well, that’s a question I certainly didn’t need asked, but this French lingerie brand asked that and then made some. And they are first on our list of 10 Crazy Weight Loss Products.

1. Caffeine-Infused Shapewear

So, okay, let’s get into this: this line of shapewear is caffeine-infused and claims to break down cellulite while you wear them.

Look, I love caffeine. I work in TV, so sometimes I LIVE on caffeine and while I sometimes think, “How could I just have a constant stream of caffeine in me?” I know, logically that wouldn’t be a great idea. I mean, I saw what Jessie Spano went through on caffeine pills, you know?

2. The Vibrating Belt Machine

Guys, this is one of my favorite ones. I remember thinking about this as a kid and how fun it looked.

See? That dude is having the best time. The idea behind this “vibrating belt machine” (I’m not even going to tell you what I tried Googling to find this picture before thinking about “vibrating belt machine”) is that you stand there inside the belt, the belt shakes against you and your fat like, shakes off?

Seems reasonable to me!

3. The Space Age Slenderizer

Speaking of ways to look super cool… you know how you get mylar to wrap yourself in after you run a marathon? (Okay, I’ve never run a marathon but my aunt and uncle have so I’ve seen these things.) Well, this is basically a mylar suit that holds in your heat and makes you lose weight just hanging out. And looking awesome, I might add.

4. Face Bra

I love Ally McBeal, and I also love Jane Krakowski, so I was very obsessed with the idea of the face bra when it appeared on Ally McBeal.

Now, this isn’t a weight loss thing so much an as anti-aging thing, but I’m so obsessed with the face bra it had to be included. But did you know it became a real product that people other than TV characters could wear?

Who wouldn’t want to wear this on their face? Bonkers! I guess it’s easier than wrapping an ACE bandage around your head every day but still…

5. Waist Belt System

My favorite part of all of these products is when they say “melts weight off!” I mean, obviously weight melting off is my dream but it’s just not real life, you guys.

Here was another cool thing you could wear to melt weight off – The Waist Belt System! Perfect! The concept of this one is based on wearing a wet suit, taking it off and having your pants be too loose! I mean, I’ve never worn a wet suit but I assume just wearing the wet suit doesn’t make you lose weight but perhaps the activities you do IN a wet suit make you lose weight. Just a thought.

6. Neckline Slimmer

This is one of my favorite products just in general. The idea is absolutely hilarious to me.

There are many neckline slimming products out there, actually. That is a picture of a woman enjoying a Neck Genie Elite. The idea is that is slims your neckline. You put this thing under your chin and do what are essentially chin sit ups and then blammo, your neck is slimmer!

I can’t handle this.

7. Nordic Track

This is particularly exciting to me because not only have I USED a Nordic Track, we even OWNED one. (I mean, it might still live in the basement, I have no idea.)

The point is, no one looks cool on a Nordic Track. Seriously, it’s the nerdiest workout thing I’ve ever seen. I mean, I understand the concept of it and I’m sure it maybe provides some sort of fitness benefits but I’ve never experienced any of them.

I really just think Nordic Tracks are funny.

8. Thigh Master

Speaking of hilarious workout things here’s a Thigh Master and Suzanne Somers.

Before I ever saw Three’s Company, I knew Suzanne Somers from Step By Step and the Thigh Master. (Ditto Patrick Duffy except I’ve still never seen Dallas.)

I’ve never used a Thigh Master but boy do I want to. It looks amazing and so fun. Again, sorry, I guess this isn’t a weight loss product but more of a work out product but I still love it.

9. The Ab Roller

Alright, I’ve gotten into a weird flow in this list of hilarious workout stuff. But here’s the Ab Roller.

I think I almost bought one of these in college one night and then somehow thought better of it.

Michael Scott did not think better of it, of course. I’m sure this, sued properly, might help your sit ups? I don’t know. It always looked like there was no resistance to me. Who knows.

10. Calorie Breath Weight Loss Program

This is my favorite one.

Do I know what this packaging says? No. But I’ve learned that it’s something about blowing into this and then your stomach shrinking and you being skinnier. So that’s pretty fun. Hope it works!

Guys, maybe we should all just kind of try to stay active instead of relying on anything on this list.

Now, obviously Boy Meets World  seemed a little childish to me by the time I was 13 or so, but I’m nothing if not dedicated to my TV shows, and I kept watching TGIF for the duration. (It did help that my brother is five years younger, so I could always claim to be watching “for” him.) I stuck with it because I love Topanga.

With the announcement of the new series Girl Meets World, I know the gang at Boy Meets World – as well as my personal crush, Rider Strong – have been on everyone’s mind. But today, as I was back in my adolescence, I am focused on Topanga Lawrence.

Name: Topanga Lawrence-Matthews (Though they’re referring to her as Topanga Matthews on Girl Meets World, it seems!)

The character of Topanga was apparently named something else originally and then one of the writers was stuck in traffic (LA, am I right?) and saw a sign for Topanga Canyon and went with that name instead. Amazing.

Relationship: Married to Cory Matthews.

Natural Habitat: As close to Cory Matthews as possible. They’ve been friends their entire lives and finally started dating in season three of the show. They broke up three times but always found their way back to each other. (I was always particularly destroyed by the break up at the ski lodge when he kissed another girl . Also, ski lodges on school trips seemed like a thing I’d definitely get to do and all I had was non-overnight “Ski Club” trips after school. Boring.)

Identifying Characteristics (personality): Topanga comes from hippie parents who she calls by their first names (or at least addresses her dad by his first name):

Topanga: Cory, I got Jedediah to drive me to your house after school.
Cory: Who’s Jedediah?
Topanga: My father.
Cory: Wait. You call your father Jedediah?
Topanga: That’s his name. What do you call your father?
Cory: Well, like a lot of normal people, I refer to him as Dad.
Topanga: Well, then how do you tell him apart from all the other dads?

She has always marched to the beat of her own drum, even meditating in class. Topanga is always very self-confident and very self assured. She knows who she is and she owns it.

Identifying Characteristics (Appearance): Long, amazing hair. Seriously. I remember reading in some teen magazine that Danielle Fishel did her own hair and being speechless. (I can’t find evidence of this article but Pre-Teen Erin remembers it vividly, so I hope it’s true.)

Topanga: Why do you care so much what other people think? When people laugh at you, they’re depleting their own karmic reservoir.

Obviously, I found the episode where she hacks at her hair with scissors particularly traumatic. Remember how Topanga has hippie roots and everything? So she was making a point about appearances not mattering (a valiant effort – and probably easier to do when you look like her) and then ended up with her beautiful hair destroyed.

Of course I love her for more than just her hair, but I just remember thinking, “She is awesome. I would NEVER do that.”

Now, Cory and Topanga got into some tough scrapes over the years (he kissed someone else, he got drunk, they broke up a few times) but they saved themselves for marriage. One of my favorite scenes is when Topanga wants him to share a toothbrush with her and he says he won’t do it until she shows him her butt.

There is something I find so sweet about him just wanting to LOOK at her butt, you know? Now, there’s lots of stuff that is crazy about Cory and Topanga’s relationship but I’m mostly on board with them (even though she turned down Yale to be with him, like, at least they moved to NYC for her in the end).

And I can’t wait to see them together again.

But now I have a new reason to love the internet and it is in the form of a terrifying photo.

Artist Richard Prince tweeted a photo the other day calling it a “composite of all of Jerry Seinfeld’s girlfriends” and noting that “there were 57 over the course of the show”. Whoa.

I don’t remember Jerry Seinfeld dating what looks like the baby of Jan Levenson and Leelee Sobieski, but whatever. It’s a pretty amazing picture and, more importantly, makes me want to see this done for every fictional character. What would all of Rachel Green’s exes look like in a composite? What about Carrie Bradshaw’s? You know what I mean? Like just start putting Barry’s face with Paolo’s with Ross’s and try not to crack up thinking about the result.

But this Seinfeld photo couldn’t have come at a better time because today is Mr. Jerry Seinfeld’s 59th birthday.

(Side bar: how many times do you think he’s been referred to as “funnyman Jerry Seinfeld”? Probably a million times, right? I’d guess a million.)

Even though Seinfeld went off the air in 1998, Jerry Seinfeld has not left our side. I love his cameo on 30 Rock, I still reference Seinfeld constantly and, if you haven’t watched his webseries Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, you are missing out.

I can’t scroll through tumblr without encountering Seinfeld screengrabs and images and quite frankly, I can’t drive to work without seeing a Seinfeld billboard announcing the many times it re-airs in syndication.

So happy happy birthday to the man who gave us the gift of Nothing.

And maybe don’t blow out the candles naked, that’s “bad naked” for everyone.

Phoebe and Mike, Friends

I mean, on a show when you have Ross and Rachel and then midway through the series also get Monica and Chandler…there’s not much room for other Really Intense Couples.

Except there IS room. (Wait, what?)

Phoebe and Mike (Paul Rudd) get together from a hilarious blind date mix-up perpetrated by Joey and end up being one of my favorite couples on TV. Nothing seems to go right with them – he lies to her, she “Phoebes” meeting his parents and then when he tries to propose she keeps making fun of the way he’s going to do it…and on and on.

But he convinces her of his piano prowess without a piano in front of him, she encourages him to pursue his piano playing dreams and he fights for her in Barbados (and this is against DAVID – SCIENTIST GUY DAVID – PLAYED BY HANK AZARIA).

And then their wedding almost gets ruined, but instead they have the best wedding…ever. I just really love Phoebe and Mike, you guys.

I also love that this Secondary Couple involves one half of one of my favorite Primary Couples of all time – Cher and Josh from Clueless.

Murray and Dionne, Clueless

Which brings me to my next favorite Secondary Couple – Dionne and Murray in Clueless.

Being the best friend of the main character makes you PRIME Secondary Couple material. Murray and Dionne fight a lot throughout the movie, but always stay together. We get to watch them get in a fight at the Val Party (which I how I refer to any situation where I have to go to the Valley), we get to see Murray’s vocab skills in action (it’s a really good school), we learn Dionne wants a sailor-themed wedding and we watch Di’s virginity go from technical to non-existent.

Obviously Clueless is interesting since there are a few Secondary Couples but Dionne and Murray really take the cake for me. I always admired her fashion choices and his willingness to teach her how to drive. I hope those crazy kids are still together.

Jenna and Paul, 30 Rock

A lot of 30 Rock involves Liz Lemon navigating the dating world. And let me just say, I’m pretty much into all of Liz Lemon’s relationships.

No, seriously, I love Dennis Duffy, I love Dr. Baird, I love Wesley Snipes, I LOVE Carol, and I love Criss. You can’t go wrong with Liz Lemon boyfriends.

But you also can’t go wrong with anything involving Jenna Maroney. Jenna Maroney is the voice in my head, if that makes any sense. Like, Liz Lemon is totally me but Jenna Maroney is who I am in the privacy of my own thoughts.

And her relationship with Paul is fantastic. How they get together, his compromise with performing as half Jenna/half Cher, their run-in with Victor Garber and the Wool Council, their Black Swan reconciliation…everything.

Mandela and Michael, 10 Things I Hate About You

In a movie with Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Andrew Keegan all as potential boyfriends it’s AMAZING that you also end up having this quiet relationship between David Krumholtz and Susan May Pratt (who goes on to be Maureen in Center Stage, obviously) steal my heart!

She’s obsessed with Shakespeare, he’s been seemingly too involved in his friend’s relationship to focus on his own and then all of a sudden is sweeping Mandela off her feet! What a sweetheart.

Seriously, her getting the note in the locker and then seeing him at the dance kills me every time. (Not as much as Heath’s performance on the bleachers or Julia Stiles’ crying performance in class, but still!)

Jess & Marie, When Harry Met Sally…

I don’t often pick favorite things. I’m a curmudgeon that way. I’ve only ever committed to my favorite color: blue. And even then I sometimes say purple. Otherwise, in elementary school I would change my favorite things every time. Then I went to film school and really became averse to picking my favorite movie. Now I’m comfortable with top 5, 10 and sometimes even top 2 lists. I can handle that.

My top 2 movies are When Harry Met Sally… and Annie Hall. (And don’t talk to me about the comparisons, I know. I have a type.)

Anyway – as much as I (obviously) love both Harry and Sally, I love Jess and Marie just as much. (It doesn’t hurt that I love Bruno Kirby and Carrie Fisher so much too.) Jess and Marie get together because they are being set up with Sally and Harry, respectively. Obviously they bond instead (the New Jersey connection was not enough for Marie and Harry) and Marie even quotes Jess back to Jess which has never happened to him before.

I love when they’re moving in together and Harry goes nuts over the stupid, wagon wheel Roy Rogers, garage sale coffee table and I love when Harry and Sally have sex and both call Jess and Marie. When Marie turns to Jess and says, “Promise me I’ll never have to be out there again” I die. Every time.

Jess and Marie, I tip my hat to you. You are my all-time favorite Secondary Couple.

The post Five Favorite Secondary Couples (of Movies and TV) appeared first on HelloGiggles.

I used to be great at being myself, was totally cool dressing like Clarissa Darling and just in general feeling like “IDGAF.” But somewhere around middle school, I started giving a sh*t what other people thought of me and I was miserable. So, cheer up, Charlie, here are 6 signs you’re past that point in your life and you, once again, No Longer Give a Sh*t What Others Think Of You.

1. You’re Not a Pushover 

Remember on Friends when Phoebe calls Rachel a pushover? And then Rachel and Monica are trying to decide on where to eat lunch and Rachel immediately gives in to what Monica wants?

Well, you would NEVER do that! Don’t get me wrong, you’re not Monica Gellar Pushy either, you just know what you want and aren’t afraid to say it. You DID just eat Indian last night, why would you eat it again? That’s bonkers! You don’t let someone trick you into going to some kind of horrible club because…you’d hate it! (Or whatever locale you DO hate.) You won’t go there because there’s no sense in going along with things you’re opposed to!

2. You Offer Up Your Opinions First

You don’t wait to find out what someone else thinks about a movie, book, TV show, song. You OWN the fact that you do watch Pretty Little Liars every week (or, rather, every week it’s on – that show has the weirdest air schedule ever), you own the fact that you love this new coffee place.

Again, you’re not forcing your opinions on others, that’d be stupid. You just know what your opinions are and you don’t let anyone else get in the way of that. It’s okay to say, “What’s the big deal with Channing Tatum?” (I only just found out What The Big Deal Was after watching Magic Mike AND 21 Jump Street close to each other.)

3. You Only Care If You Like Your Outfit 

This was a big one for me. What pushed me into Giving a Sh*t About What Others Thought of Me was caring what anyone else thought of my outfit. Look, I’m all for following trends and being inspired and caring about what you wear. But mostly I buy graphic tee shirts from the men’s department of either Urban Outfitters or Target and I’m cool with that. It’s no big deal.

So if you get dressed in the morning and you’re only thinking, “Do I like this outfit?” then you definitely No Longer Give a Sh*t What Others Think Of You. You rock those outfits, kid.

4. You Know How To Make Fun of Yourself Better Than People Who Tease You

Currently my iPhone case has stickers of Ariel (The Little Mermaid), Buzz Lightyear and Lucy from The Peanuts on it (among other things). I’m wearing leopard print Keds, red jeans and a leopard-print Army style jacket. I KNOW what there is to make fun of me about, you know?

I get it. I’m 28 and I know why you think it’s fun to tease me. But if I can do a better job of it than you can (Yes, I DO own a Polaroid) then you’re doing it wrong and I’m cool with myself. So there.

5. You’re Okay Crying, Laughing, Singing, Smiling, Screaming, etc…in Public

This probably has a lot to do with the 10 years I spent living in New York City. Remember on How I Met Your Mother when Lily said you weren’t a true New Yorker until you cried on the subway and didn’t care who saw you…I think this is true for everything.

If you want to break out into song (maybe a medley of songs from RENT, for example), who cares? If you want to cry, or scream or laugh and you’re not immediately thinking, “oh no, can anyone see me?” then you probably don’t care what anyone thinks of you anymore.

See also: any time I’m driving alone and dancing (air drumming included, within reason) in the car.

6. You Do What You Want

This is the epitome of the other signs. If you go through life and you start to realize, “I’m Doing Me all over the place!” then you probably No Longer Give a Sh*t What Anyone Thinks of You. And then you’re good.

Life’s too short to worry about what anyone else thinks of you. Do what you want, wear what you want, eat what you want, get what you want and you’ll be happier. Instantly.
