Falcons make ‘Mean Girls’ reference ahead of TNF matchup vs. Bucs

Falcons make ‘Mean Girls’ reference ahead of TNF matchup vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Atlanta Falcons know what the significance of Oct. 3 is.

Well, it’s a much-anticipated divisional matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but there is also something a little more to the date that just about any movie fanatic can tell you right off the bat.

Oct. 3 is significant to the movie “Mean Girls,” which the Falcons’ social media team drew a couple of comical references to ahead of Thursday’s prime-time showdown against the Buccaneers

The post was captioned “On Thursdays, we wear throwbacks,” which the Falcons will don in their Week 5 matchup. In the film, “On Thursdays, we wear pink” is one of the biggest phrases used within the social clique:

The Falcons and Buccaneers are set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta is slightly favored and can take the lead in the NFC South with a win.

In Week 4, the Falcons pulled off a nail-biting victory over the New Orleans Saints to improve to 2-2 for the season. Atlanta’s two losses have come against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 and the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3.

Rachel McAdams introducing Renee Rapp on SNL was the best Regina George Mean Girls crossover

This was the best.

This is so fetch!

Rachel McAdams — the original Regina George in Mean Girls (the OG 2004 version) — showed up at Saturday Night Live with Reneé Rapp (who played Regina George in the Broadway musical adaptation and is doing the same in the 2024 movie) and introduced her before the singer and actress performed. The reaction from the crowd is exactly how I imagine a lot of fans reacted at home while watching.

She, Rapp and Megan Thee Stallion also did a Spider-Man pointing meme photo (a la Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield) that you can see below that’s just all sorts of perfect.

Mean Girls cast: Meet the actors and actresses in the 2024 musical remake

A look at the full cast of the Mean Girls remake that’s a musical.

A remake of Mean Girls in 2024? And it’s a musical version?

That’s so fetch.

That’s what we’re getting, starting on Friday, January 12 in the United States, with Tina Fey bringing back the characters from the now-classic 2004 comedy and basing it on the Broadway musical from 2018.

Fey penned the script and it’s directed by Samantha Jayne and Arturo Perez Jr. But who plays Cady and Regina George and Damian and everyone else we enjoyed in the first flick? Glad you asked.

Here’s a look at the cast of the movie as we get ready to yell “You go Glen Coco!” at our big screens:

Rachel McAdams reveals the reason she didn’t reunite with the Mean Girls cast for a Walmart ad

Rachel McAdams is aware that fetch was not made in Walmart’s “Mean Girls” ad. Here’s why.

If you’re a millennial, there is no Mean Girls without “The Plastics” and Rachel McAdams. Yet, in Walmart’s movie-inspired commercials early this year, Adams was noticeably absent, and now we know why.

There’s something to be said for movie nostalgia years later. Walmart seemingly knows that, and with many millennials who grew up on classics like Mean Girls entering their parent era, the retail giant made a relatable commercial inspired by classic scenes from the 2004 film.

A significant portion of the original cast from the movie hopped on board, including Lindsey Lohan, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert. However, one star was nowhere to be found — Rachel McAdams, who famously played Regina George.

Per Clayton Davis of Variety, McAdams is aware that fans may be wondering where she was, so the star recently shared why she isn’t in the Black Friday advertisements.

The 6 most fetch cameos in Walmart’s Mean Girls Black Friday ad

Get in, losers, there’s a Mean Girls reunion in a Walmart ad.

Get in, losers. We’re going to a reunion.

Walmart just dropped an ad promoting their early Black Friday deals, and it’s a whole two-minute Mean Girls reunion (with some exceptions — we miss you Tina Fey, Rachael McAdams and Lizzy Caplan!) featuring a bunch of winks to the 2004 comedy that we still quote.

There was a lot to take in, from characters we didn’t expect to see (and a celebrity from out of nowhere!) to quotes to nods to the OG film.

Watch this and then we’ll break down the cameos we loved that were so fetch (we know, stop trying to make fetch happen):

It’s October 3rd: Happy Mean Girls Day to all who celebrate in 2023

Here’s why we celebrate Mean Girls on Oct. 3.

Stop trying to make fetch happen, because today is October 3rd.

Why is that significant? Because Tuesday, in 2023, is Mean Girls Day. As in, a day to celebrate all things about the 2004 movie written by Tina Fey and starring an all-star cast including Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, Lacey Chabert and Amy Poehler.

Here, we have 22 classic Mean Girls quotes we still commonly reference.

But why is October 3 earmarked for the movie? Because there’s that scene in which Lohan’s Cady Heron is asked by her crush Aaron Samuels what day it is in math class, and she answers: “It’s October 3rd.”

There you have it:
