The Cast Of 'Mean Girls' Just Reunited For A Black Friday Commercial—And It's Honestly So Fetch
It may not be "National Mean Girls Day," which was last month on October 3, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate the 2004 teen comedy sensation with repeat viewings of the timeless classic penned by SNL alum Tina Fey.
Thankfully, the Mean Girls ladies were reunited in an all-new Black Friday commercial courtesy of Walmart, and it is, like, so fetch.
The giant retailer has in recent years expanded on the sales rush that typically takes place the Friday after Thanksgiving, marking the start of the Christmas shopping season.
In anticipation of the marketing blitz, Walmart managed to get most of the main cast, including Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried, and Lacey Chabert, for a brief "where are they now" mini-movie featuring a new generation of the "Plastics" intimidating high schoolers.
In the holiday commercial, Lohan's Cady Heron is a guidance counselor, Seyfried's Karen Smith is a local weather reporter, and Chabert’s Gretchen Wieners is a mom. Not just a regular mom. A cool mom...whose daughter berates her for still trying to make "fetch" happen.
Rajiv Surendra, who played Kevin Gnapoor, and Daniel Franzese as Damian Leigh also made cameos.
Here's the clip in which the ladies attend the Winter Talent Show where they performed "Jingle Bell Rock" in high school so many Christmases ago.
We must have ESPN or something. Because we just knew this clip would go viral.
Lohan said in a statement that reuniting with her former co-stars was a positive experience for all of them.
“It was so nice being back together after all these years," said Lohan. "It was great catching up with everyone."
Chabert added:
“It was wonderful to spend the day with Amanda and Lindsay."
"It was so much fun to reminisce and be together again after all these years.”
While we missed seeing Regina George, played by Rachel McAdams, who was busy with another project, maybe we'll see a full cast reunion in a future ad.
According to Variety, Walmart senior vice president of marketing Courtney Carlson said their new commercial will be "unmissable" across traditional advertising channels and social media.
“Walmart is really known for Black Friday, and we don’t intend to lose that positioning."
