00:00They all come here to find a solution.
00:03End up girls, I must say.
00:05Poke my eye out.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're looking at moments from the Mean Girls gag reel
00:11that are just so fetch.
00:13Not any.
00:14Yeah, I'm kidding.
00:18I'm sorry.
00:21Number 10, A Sweet Mistake.
00:23Katie tricks Regina into consuming high-calorie nutrition bars to sabotage and embarrass her.
00:28They're these weird nutrition bars my mom uses to lose weight.
00:31Give me it.
00:32Disguised as a harmless snack, Regina falls for Katie's diabolical scheme.
00:37As expected, the plan works to perfection, with Regina ending up on the wrong side of the weighing scale.
00:43All I've been eating are these counting bars.
00:45They suck.
00:46No, no, this is just how they work.
00:48This is all your water weight.
00:50First you bloat, and then you drop 10 pounds like that.
00:53Thanks to the magic of editing, most viewers missed a blooper hidden in plain sight.
00:57In the film, the scene cuts off right before Regina takes another bite of the bar.
01:02However, the gag reel reveals a funny moment with Rachel McAdams,
01:06who wasn't quite able to finish her high-calorie treat.
01:09Shut up.
01:14Number 9, Loving the Job.
01:17Damien is undoubtedly among the most popular characters in the Mean Girls fandom.
01:21Four for you, Glen Coco.
01:23You go, Glen Coco.
01:25And, uh, Caddy Heron. Do we have a Caddy Heron here?
01:29It's Katie.
01:30Oh, Katie, here you go. One for you.
01:32And none for Gretchen Wieners. Bye.
01:34The character is known for his witty remarks and catty one-liners.
01:38And let's not forget all his iconic outfits.
01:41Much like his character, it looks like Daniel Franzese kept a witty and playful energy alive while filming.
01:48I just wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school.
01:52I wish that I could bake a cake made out of rainbows and smiles and we'd all eat it and be happy.
01:58She doesn't even go here.
02:00During what appears to be his last scene,
02:02Franzese has a fourth wall-breaking moment to confess just how much fun he had making the movie.
02:07Considering Damien's role is arguably the film's greatest source of comedy,
02:12all that shenanigans on set definitely paid off.
02:16I loved working on Mean Girls. It was fun.
02:208. A Case of the Giggles
02:22Actors on screen are usually blamed for messing up their takes,
02:26but sometimes the real culprits are those off-camera.
02:29What you said, it'll just be our little secret.
02:36While characters typically react to Gretchen's eccentric behavior with awkward annoyance,
02:41it's hard not to laugh at the things she says in real life.
02:44In this scene, she voices her horror at Katie's interest in Regina's ex-boyfriend.
02:49Ex-boyfriends are just off-limits to friends. I mean, that's just like the rules of feminism.
02:55Don't worry. I'll never tell Regina what you said.
02:59It'll be our little secret.
03:00But in this blooper, it appears that Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Seyfried
03:05struggled to stay in character as their off-screen reactions caused Lacey Chabert to break,
03:10sending her into a fit of giggles.
03:12It's too bad we don't see her co-stars,
03:14but judging by Chabert's inability to keep it together, it must have been an absolute riot.
03:307. Peeping Mom
03:32Nobody could have pulled off playing Regina's cool mom like Amy Poehler.
03:36I just want you to know if you need anything, don't be shy, okay?
03:40There are no rules in this house. I'm not like a regular mom. I'm a cool mom.
03:44Incredibly inappropriate and desperate for approval,
03:47she allows her daughter to get away with things other parents would never even consider.
03:51Need proof? How about casually barging into Regina's room while she's hooking up with a guy?
03:56Do you guys need anything? Some snacks? A condom? Let me know.
04:02Oh, God love ya.
04:04It's Poehler's severe underreaction that truly sells the scene.
04:08However, as the gag reel shows, the actress wasn't always as composed as you might think.
04:13While most of the take goes just like the film, Poehler lingers a bit longer in the blooper.
04:18Thrown off by a prop, her attempts to stay in character quickly break apart,
04:23along with the rest of the crew.
04:25Oh, look at you, God love ya.
04:336. Say What?
04:35Loud, bold, and unapologetically herself,
04:38Janis is another one of Mean Girls' breakout characters.
04:41Nice wig, Janis. What's it made of?
04:43Your mom's chest hair.
04:44With her sharp wit and way with words, she can get anyone to follow her lead.
04:48Her trademark little rants endeared her to many fans,
04:51but it did take Lizzie Kaplan a few takes to deliver her lines.
04:55One of the film's memorable moments is Janis convincing Katie to spy on Regina.
05:00So, when are you gonna see Regina again?
05:02I can't spy on her anymore. It's weird.
05:04Come on, she's never gonna find out. It's just, it'll be like our little secret.
05:08However, even Kaplan struggled through one particular scene,
05:12visibly confused about her dialogue before giving up altogether.
05:16In her defense, Janis' powers of persuasion aren't exactly about what she says,
05:21but more about how she says it.
05:23She's never gonna find out. It's just, it'll be like our little secret.
05:28I cruise the canyon to get some...
05:34Number 5. Kiss and slap.
05:36Gretchen's odd romance with Jason is one of Mean Girls' underrated arcs.
05:41You were supposed to call me last night.
05:43Jason, you do not come to a party at my house with Gretchen
05:46and then scam on some poor innocent girl right in front of us three days later.
05:50She's not interested.
05:51Despite her clear interest in him,
05:53the latter often finds himself in the receiving end of some unexpected punishment.
05:57Case in point, when Katie walks in on the two making out,
06:00Gretchen covers it up with a smack to Jason's face.
06:08The bloopers show us what happened next.
06:10Judging by his reaction, it looks like actor Daniel DeSanto didn't see the slap coming.
06:15Lacey Chabert quickly apologizes, but DeSanto is a pretty good sport about it,
06:20lightening the moment with a humorous quip.
06:24Ha ha ha ha ha!
06:26I'm sorry.
06:27Wow.
06:28She's a vetted actress.
06:30That's my agent.
06:32Number 4. Over or under reaction.
06:35The characters' resentments spiral out by the film's climax.
06:38It was full tilt jungle madness.
06:44And it wasn't going away.
06:45Still, all's well that ends well, as everybody reconciles and goes back to being friends.
06:50Katie hints at a new generation of plastics emerging,
06:53before they're seemingly run over by a bus.
06:55And if any freshmen tried to disturb that peace,
06:58well, let's just say we knew how to take care of it.
07:08Just kidding.
07:09Of course, this turns out to be a joke.
07:11But if you thought that was funny, the bloopers will leave you gasping for air,
07:15much like Lindsay Lohan does in this outtake.
07:18We catch Damien's reaction here as well,
07:20whose hilarious punchline causes a major spit-take from Lohan.
07:28In a film filled with comedic moments,
07:30the gag reel arguably provides fans with the biggest belly laugh.
07:34Number 3. Brain fade.
07:36A pivotal moment for Gretchen's character is when she reaches her breaking point.
07:40Overwhelmed by Regina's constant insults,
07:43Gretchen spills Regina's dark secrets to Katie.
07:48Every Thursday he thinks she's doing SAT prep, but really,
07:51she's hooking up with Shane Omen in the projection room above the auditorium.
07:55I never told anybody that because I'm such a good friend.
08:00In this behind-the-scenes footage, Lacey Chabert gets thrown off her delivery,
08:04which makes us wonder if filming in front of a green screen had anything to do with it.
08:08The actress constantly messes up her lines,
08:11but her cheerful, light-hearted attitude is fun to watch.
08:14If you even knew how mean she really is.
08:17Ah, sorry. Hold on, I'm sorry. Can we start over?
08:21No, can you cut? I'm sorry.
08:23To her credit, making sense of what Gretchen says isn't the easiest thing to do.
08:28The way she switches in and out of character turns this blooper reel
08:31into something that's both wholesome and amusing.
08:34Two years ago, she tells me that hoop earrings are her thing,
08:37and then I'm not as lucky as I thought.
08:41Number 2. Always in character.
08:44When Gretchen breaks down the school's social structure to Katie,
08:47Janice and Damien can be seen goofing around,
08:50a brief reminder of their refusal to play by the rules like everyone else.
08:54Now, if you break any of these rules, you can't sit with us at lunch.
08:57Well, I mean, not just you, like, any of us.
09:00Okay, like, if I was wearing jeans today, I would be sitting over there with the art freaks.
09:04Janice's rebellious nature and disregard for authority can be infectious,
09:08which may be why Lizzie Kaplan stays in character even after the cameras stop rolling.
09:13Despite the director's stern warnings, the actors keep the fun going.
09:17Kaplan in particular goes all in, shouting out one of Janice's memorable catchphrases.
09:22Lizzie!
09:23Suck on that!
09:28Though she's seemingly lacking some professional courtesy in this instance,
09:32we give Kaplan full points for nailing Janice's rebellious spirit.
09:36Suck on that!
09:38Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!

09:59Number 1. Do you like it, Daddy?
10:01As Katie explains, Halloween in Girl World is one night
10:04when someone can push the boundaries of their clothing choices.
10:08The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears.
10:12Doesn't she look great, honey?
10:13In true Regina George style, she dresses up as a seductive bunny.
10:18While her mother revels in Regina's bold fashion statement,
10:21her poor dad's reaction tells a different story.
10:24The gag reel offers a hilariously extended version,
10:27with Rachel McAdams and Amy Poehler diving all in to create some outrageous poses on the spot.
10:33Over here, honey. Put your finger in your mouth like this.
10:39Isn't she fantastic? You're a little bunny!
10:42Do you like it, Daddy?
10:44The mother-daughter duo turns the scene into a delightful display of absurdist comedy.
10:49It's impressive how, despite being a blooper,
10:51the footage could have easily been included in the film's final cut.
10:56Which blooper from Girl World is your favorite?
