Celebrate Mean Girls Day By Watching The Full Movie On… TikTok?!
It may not be Wednesday, but you can still wear pink!
This year, the verified Mean Girls TikTok account uploaded the full movie in several parts to grace our feeds in celebration of the line “It’s October 3rd.”
The iconic line from the movie has become a pop culture phenomenon, celebrated annually on social media as fans of the film commemorate this date, often called “Mean Girls Day.” The line is delivered by the character Cady Heron, played by Lindsay Lohan, during a conversation with her crush Aaron Samuels, portrayed by Jonathan Bennett.
In this seemingly simple moment, Cady's innocent remark about the date serves as a pivotal and memorable moment in the film. It highlights the universal experience of teenage infatuation, where even mundane details like the date can become significant when associated with someone you're interested in.
If you’re anything like me and end up doom scrolling on the app for hours watching a random tv show/movie, then you’ll enjoy this just as much!
The line's enduring popularity showcases the lasting impact that Mean Girls has on popular culture, as it's a film that continues to resonate with audiences, especially during the month of October. The film was actually an adaptation of the book Queenbees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman and was then turned into a cult classic Broadway musical. The musical is now being adapted for the silver screen, dropping this January, with Reneé Rapp, Angourie Rice, and Auli’i Cravalho.
Each year on October 3rd, fans of the movie take to social media to share memes, gifs, and references to this iconic line. It has become a fun and lighthearted way for people to connect and reminisce about the film's witty humor, memorable characters, and its timeless portrayal of the complexities of high school life. This line exemplifies how certain phrases or moments from movies can take on a life of their own, becoming a part of the cultural lexicon and bringing people together in celebration of shared nostalgia.
Head to TikTok to watch the movie in parts or stream it in full on Paramount+.
