What were our lives like before Anna Kendrick started performing in movies, became famous and then got a Twitter account? Probably just sitting around moping with absolutely no joy in our hearts. The woman is a comedy mastermind who brightens our day with her hilarity.
In honor of her 30th birthday (August 10), here are 30 different times that Kendrick had us busting a gut over her insight and wit:
-
On Humility
"I'm so humble it's crazy. I'm like the Kanye West of humility."
-
On Men
"I like my men like I like my coffee. Silent."
-
On Fireworks
"I don't understand people who buy fireworks. Fireworks are beautiful yes, but so are majestic jungle cats. I still prefer them far away."
-
On Fashion
"The scent wafting out of Abercrombie stores is a f--king day ruiner. How did they manage to bottle the smell of high school and rejection?"
-
On Productivity
"Sometimes the only reason I leave my house is so when someone asks about my day I don’t have to say 'Netflix and avoiding responsibilities.'"
-
On Sarcasm
"Sarcasm never comes across in print. Which I love."
-
On Time
"Everything has led to this moment! And this moment! And this one! And this one. And this one. And this one.... And this one… And this o-"
-
On Cuisine
"I'm done being embarrassed about my boring taste in sushi. If it looks like it killed Nemo's mom, I'm not eating it."
-
On Beauty
"When my nails get really long I love running them through a scruffy beard. (Must get manicure soon... and wax my face)"
-
On Sexuality
"Hey baby... is that a phone in your pocket or is your penis just really square?"
-
On Changing
"Had to dye my hair for a film. Keep getting spooked when I pass reflective surfaces. Now I know how puppies feel."
-
On complaining
"I'm the person who wouldn't send back my food even if I got steak when I'd ordered fish."
-
On Sexuality... Again
"Ugh, NEVER going to a Ryan Gosling movie in a theatre again. Apparently masturbating in the back row is still considered ‘inappropriate.'"
-
On Reboots
"They should announce a sequel to 'Groundhog Day' and then just re-release the original."
-
On Motherhood.
"A birth certificate is basically a baby receipt."
-
On Likeability
"For someone with such an intense need to be liked you'd think I would have figured out how to be less of an a--hole."
-
On Regrets
"My daily objective is less about goal achievement and more about regret management."
-
On Drugs.
I don't think having an Ambien addiction would be all that bad. But that might just be the Ambien talking."
-
On Hotness.
"I mean I'm hot, but like approachable hot. Like the girl in your improv class."
-
On Dessert
"'I don't want a whole dessert, let's just get two spoons' - Former friends of mine."
-
On Comedy
"I'll be hanging with Mark Zuckerberg later. If I say "I loved you in Zombieland" do we think he'll laugh?"
(She did. He laughed.)
-
On Airports.
"Why do I buy cooking magazines in airports? I might as well be buying porn. I get all excited but there's nothing I can do about it."
-
On Class
"I don't get why girls paint the "Chanel" symbol on their nails... I could tattoo it on my ass but it don't mean I'm fancy."
-
On Heroes
"They say you shouldn't meet your heroes. And they're right cause I met a baby raccoon once and it pooped on my shoulder."
-
On "50 Shades"
"The '50 Shades of Grey' dude looks just like "Love Actually" kid. I feel less *turned on* and more like....I should call child services..."
-
On Body Shaming
"So over this 'thigh gap' thing. Not to brag, but I'm knock knee'd so I have 'ankle gap.'"
-
"I get bummed out when I end up being on time but I'd worked up a really solid "why I'm late" story."
-
On Complaining
"I'm the police dog of finding stuff to complain about."
-
On Regrets, Again
"Working on my fantasy of what I SHOULD have said to that FedEx girl who gave me attitude."
-
On Singledom
"Cooking for one sucks because no matter how I portion it I seem to end up wasting food. Also loneliness."
-
On being Normal
"Being well adjusted is probably f--king overrated."
