She’s Tina Fey’s best friend. And that should be enough to guarantee Amy Poehler a permanent place in every woman’s heart.
BUT WAIT.
There is more more to this woman genius. Specifically this line.
This sweet, sweet line. A line that you wish, I wish, we all wish we had thought of and then delivered with the same sunny smile on our face.
Here’s how it unfolded.
Poehler was appearing as a guest on comedian Neal Brennan’s new show, “The Approval Matrix”.
As their conversation unfolded, Brennan started to complain about the trials of being a modern man.
He said: “Being cool is, like, passé. And now you have to be awkward and adorable.”
After a brief pause, Poehler looks him square in the eye and says:
“Well, this feeling you’re having every day – which is like, “I’m supposed to be all things” – is a feeling that women have every day and have their whole lives. So you’re just starting to experience it now.”
Bam!
Are you an Amy Poehler fan? Ever delivered a zinger like that?
