Do you think we can make Fetch happen?

Maybe this is in the wrong Reddit? Maybe it should be in GenY but I reckon I’m not the only GenXer who loves this film. (Along with Bring It On and Center Stage)

It’s a big hill to climb to show that Mean Girls is a Gen X film. It’s a product of Gen X, that’s for sure. But there’s Gen X films for Gen X (see Clerks) and Gen X films for the next group … like Mean Girls.

Idk if it’s that big of a hill. I was in my 20s when it came out and they were in high school; not too far removed. And there were a lot of references in the movie that Gen X would pick up easily that 90s kids wouldn’t. Just the names Cher and Dionne probably didn’t mean much unless you were Gen X.
automator3000@reddit
Cher and Dionne are characters in Clueless, not in Mean Girls.

😂 my old man brain is easily confused these days🥴
automator3000@reddit
Better to be mixing up teen comedies of decades past than other ways our geriatric brains can make mix ups.
rbrumble@reddit
That's so fetch
BeDeviledDevotchka@reddit
I thought we agreed to stop trying to make fetch happen.
userr7890@reddit
Add my vote for Fletch, WTF is Fetch?, nvm I don’t care
ofthrees@reddit
I love mean girls. Easy A is another, but I've seen mean girls unironically (and no daughter) hundreds of times.
judyb103@reddit
You go Glenn Coco!
Gen X here and I know all the lines from Mean Girls because of having a daughter born in the late 90s which means I watched that movie 4,782 times.
Fetch is never going to happen.
TaintFraidOfNoGhost@reddit
I’m sorry I thought you said “Fletch” with Chevy Chase.
That one gets my vote.

X2 for Fletch

“Moon River”…..thank you doc - ever serve time?”
Ray_The_Engineer@reddit
Fun movie...if I'm being honest, a lot of the appeal to me is the cute girls. Yeah, I'm way older than them, but it is what it is.
gjohill@reddit
What is Fetch. Fletch?
broohaha@reddit
I've heard of Bring It On but not the others.

HuchieLuchie@reddit
I didn't know about making "fetch" happen, but we use the phrase "stop trying to make fetch happen" all the time.
tpt75@reddit (OP)
That’s kinda the same thing.
Ma1eficent@reddit
No, because fetch is never gonna happen.
therealgookachu@reddit
I have never heard this before. The husband explained it’s from Mean Girls? I’ve never seen it.
CDM2017@reddit
Oh my god you get to watch Mean Girls for the first time.
therealgookachu@reddit
I’ll pass. I don’t like those types of films.
Powerful-Act3516@reddit
I originally dreaded watching it. It turned out to be clever and good.
therealgookachu@reddit
It may, but I inherently don’t like movies like that. I also don’t like romance, or romcoms, either, because I don’t like the story telling tropes involved with those genres.

That idea is so fetch.
scottyv99@reddit
Go to Utah. Fetch has been a thing there for a long time. A word to replace fuck.

My man. My first thought. Screw Fetch, we need to make Fletch happen.
CrazyButterfly11@reddit
I fully support you on this! Fletch Over Fetch!!!
unolemon@reddit
We need a few more on board and then it’s a movement. I can get my brother on board fully. Unless you’re him. Fletch is always funny.
CrazyButterfly11@reddit
I’ll see who I can round up! #FletchOverFetch #ScrewFetchDoFletch : Those may need some tinkering lol!
HornetParticular6625@reddit
How about #youcanttalktomethatwayassholeidontworkforyouyet?

Never heard of any of those things including Gen Y
PahzTakesPhotos@reddit
I watched Mean Girls one time. I have seen Bring it On, Sugar and Spice, and Clueless many, many times. There are more, of course, but those are the ones off the top of my head that I didn't have to go to IMDb to remember.
Uranus_Hz@reddit
“It’ll be very” > “fetch”
in much the same way that
Heathers > Mean Girls

I teach philosophy. When we get on to language games I always set my students the task to ‘make fetch happen’ They have a week to try it. Still hasn’t happened (sigh)

Centre Stage is such a gem. I re-watch it every couple of years and unlike me, it never gets old
