Jennette McCurdy celebrated her memoir 'I’m Glad My Mom Died' staying on the 'New York Times' best seller list for 80 weeks with a confetti cannon—but it didn't go quite like she planned.

Writer and former Nickelodeon child star Jennette McCurdy had plenty to celebrate over the weekend, but that doesn't mean she was in any way ready for it.

McCurdy took to social media with a confetti cannon in hand to celebrate the 80th week her memoir about her abusive mother, I'm Glad My Mom Died, appeared on the New York Times Best Seller List.


But McCurdy's fear of loud noises definitely got the best of her—and her reaction to the confetti cannon's pop was one for the ages.


@jennettemccurdy

thank you for making igmmd a nyt bestseller for 80 weeks. and still the #1 audiobook 🙏 i’m celebrating

The video starts off normal enough, with McCurdy sitting in front of a giant 80 to mark the occasion. But it quickly goes sideways.

Gingerly holding the confetti cannon aloft and struggling to break it open, she says:

"I’m scared... Ahhh, fu*k, I’m scared, OK? Fu*k, I hate… This is a bad idea, I hate loud noises!

Boy was she not kidding! When the confetti cannon finally went off, McCurdy let out a bone-chilling shriek and held her ears as if the entire room had just exploded.

Thankfully, McCurdy herself couldn't help but laugh as the confetti began raining down around her.

She said:

“I can hardly breathe, oh my god, that was the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced.”

She then quipped, "“that’s what my next memoir’s about!”

And judging from the social media response, McCurdy's tome about the terrors of confetti cannons will also be a best seller because her shriek definitely made an impression.









Let's hope when her memoir about the terrors of confetti cannons does even better than I'm Glad My Mom Died, they can just give her, like, a kazoo or something to celebrate. She's been through enough!

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
