5 Reasons Why You Should Love John Mulaney
Junkee

If you don't know who John Mulaney is, you're missing out on a lot. John Mulaney is a stand-up comedian, as well as a past writer for "Saturday Night Live." He wrote the famous Stefon sketch that has become one of the most well-known sketches on "SNL" history.

He not only has multiple comedy shows out on Netflix and Spotify, but he and his friend Nick Kroll (of "Kroll Show") have written a play, "Oh, Hello!" that is currently making it's way around America.

He has become a well-known comedian for his relatable and fearless comedy. If that hasn't sold you, here are a few more reasons why you should love John Mulaney:

1. He understands how much you love canceling plans


"It is 100 percent easier not to do things than to do them, and so much fun not to do them. Especially when you were supposed to do them."

2. He perfectly captured how we all felt in gym and/or recess

"I'd come out on the recess yard and I'd be like, 'Everyone get out of my way. I just want to sit here and feed my birds.' The gym teacher would tell me to play kickball and I'd be like, 'You want me to do what?'"

3. He describes adult life perfectly

In an attempt to receive a Xanax prescription from his doctor, John Mulaney schedules a checkup for "frequent urination," which lands Mulaney in a prostate exam. His response? "This might as well happen. Adult life is already so goddamn weird."

4. "I think Emily Dickinson was a lesbian."

In John Mulaney's newest stand up, "Comeback Kid," he describes how your opinion doesn't matter in elementary school. However, in college, your opinion can get you full credit. "Just you raising your hand and being like 'I think Emily Dickinson was a lesbian,' and they're like, 'Partial credit,' and that's the whole thing."

5. The Salt and Pepper Diner

This is, by far, one of John Mulaney's most genius moments that you just have to listen to for true understanding.

If you're still not sold on John Mulaney, then I suggest you either go onto Netflix or Spotify and watch/listen to his stand ups. Throughout my time of being a fan, every person that I've shown him to has loved him.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
