05.06.09 MINDY KALING IS THE NEW TINA FEY

mindy-kaling

Mindy Kaling, the writer/actress who plays Kelly Kapoor on “The Office,” has inked a two-year, seven-figure deal with NBC and Universal Media Studios to continue her work on “The Office” while also developing her own new comedy for the network.  It’s pretty cool news, as Kelly is my favorite character on “The Office,” and it’s nice to see genuinely funny and talented people succeed.  But then you see quotes like this…

NBC primetime entertainment prexy Angela Bromstad called Kaling “a rare and unique talent.”

“Her comic sensibility is perfect for what we stand for in NBC comedy,” Bromstad said.

…And you realize that what NBC comedy stands for is recognizing that someone or something is good, and then bleeding them dry while overexposing them.  Overexposure is bad, even when the thing getting the exposure is good.  That’s what my lawyer told me, anyway.  But in my defense, it WAS a health class, and those kids needed to learn about reproduction sooner or later.

Really? SHE is your favorite? Let me tell you something, blogger-man, she couldn’t hold Creed’s dick.

Creed’s awesome, for sure. But I like her character better. And ew, she totally wouldn’t want to hold Creed’s dick anyway.

It’s obvious that you don’t watch the office if you think this whore is at all funny. And her own show wouldn’t last five episodes.

She’s hot, but she’s office hot, so I’d hit it but I wouldn’t let my friends watch.

The only thing that’s obvious is that you disagree with me. It doesn’t mean I don’t watch the show. Also, your penis is small and you have sex with men at truck stops and I had intercourse with your mother.

People, for future reference, you’re allowed to make funny comments. Don’t feel compelled to just be an asshole.

I heart Mindy oh so much. Wickedly smart and funny, yet very relaxed and girly. Her blog is some fantastic reading. GIRL CRUSH!

You guys couldn’t come up with more than $10?

Just because I’m not COMPELLED to be an asshole doesn’t mean I can’t be one just for the hell of it, does it?

Punch, she’s like a Vespa. Fun to ride but you wouldn’t want to be seen on it.

Lenny says:

I went out with her for four months and it was the greatest greatest thing in my life. Until she went down on this guy in an Escalade, I think. And, you know, instead of, like, saying, “Okay, what am I doing that caused this behavior?” I dumped her. Stupid decision. I spent the last two years of my life regretting it.

I love her blog.

kelly is responsible for two of the best office quotes of all time.

1. “yes, i have a question. First of all, how dare you?”

and

2. “so were your parents first cousins who were also bad at ping pong?”

Late 80's Rap Star says:

another great Kelly quote was last week

“What Are They Saying” ?

Kelly (holding a glass to the wall while trying to eavesdrop) “mmmmmmmmma”

“Mindy” my ass. She’s still the same frumpy Vera Chokalingham from high school, as far as I’m concerned.

CrabApple says:

I love how when ever someone asks her “what’s going on”, she responds by talking about what Brad Pitt has been doing and what other hollywood stars have been up to.

And she is also one of the writers on the show, so dont think that her talent is just acting.

Dave says:

Just for the record I stopped going to truck stops because I found that rest stops are cleaner. Also stop lying about having sexual intercourse with my mother when you were the one taking it. As for the small penis, guilty as charged. And the asshole part, I apologize, it wasn’t funny or witty it was just mean and again I apologize.
