It's The 20th Anniversary Of "Clueless" And OMG We're Totaaally Bugginnn! Here Are Some Of Our FAV Qutoes/Moments From The Now Legendary Film

As the girl who is often referred To as "The Black Girl From Clueless" AKA Dionne LOL here is my ode to Clueless...

I think it's safe to say that this has been one of my favorite movies since I don't know when. The first time I saw it, it was like revolutionary.(Basically life changing). And the best part about the movie, besides the zappy one liners, the epic catch phrases, and of course, the fashion, is that it literally NEVER gets old. Every time I watch it I either catch something I never understood or noticed when I was like a middle-schooler, or the hilarious things that make the movie great are even more hilarious now than they were before.

The cult classic that taught us how to "suck and blow" and to "roll with the homies" is such a defining movie of the 90s and just like of our childhood, and of course, still resonates with most of us today. Ahhh, yes. But I do have to draw serious attention to one thing: For those young-ins out there who love Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" video and think that she made up the concept out of nowhere - HA "AS IF!" Shame on you. So before mid drift tops, chokers, knee high socks and pleated skirts come back in style...OH WAIT JK too late...take the time to go an educate yourself and go watch Clueless like today. Celebrate the day!

So, in honor of the amaaaze masterpiece of a film, we've complied a few of our favorite quotes from the movie along with some links to other stories that were written today about Clueless and it's impact in film history. YES. Totally. Buggin.

BEST ONE-LINERS:

"AS IF"

"WHATEVER" (W shaped hands obv)

"Rolling with da homies"

"Surfing the crimson wave" (Literally no better way to describe a girl on her period than this).

"It's Faux!" (referring to Deon's fake fur backpack).

"Oh my GOD, I'm totally buggin!" (Totally).

"I'm Audi."

BEST QUOTES:

Murray: “Your man Christian is a cake boy!”

Cher/Dionne: “A what?”

Murray: “He's a disco-dancing, Oscar Wilde–reading, Streisand-ticket-holding friend of Dorothy. Know what I'm saying?”
(Probably the most epic way to explain that someone is gay if they are in fact...clueless).

Cher's Dad (Mel): "Cher, everywhere in LA takes 20 minutes." (I mean, duh).

Mel: Do you know what time it is?
Cher: A watch doesn't really go with this outfit, daddy.
Mel: What the hell is that?
Cher: A dress.
Mel: Says who?
Cher: Calvin Klein.

Cher on Christian: "He does dress better than I do? What Would I bring to the relationship? (Seriously tho...)

Tai to Cher: "Why should I listen to you anyways? You're a virgin who can't drive. (Valid).

Dionne: Hello? There was a stop sign.
Cher: I totally paused.

Christian: Do you like Billie Holiday?

Cher: I love him.

Amber: Was I the only one listening? I thought it reeked.

Cher: No, I believe that’s your designer imposter perfume.

Travis: I would like to say this. Tardiness is not something you can do on your own. Many, many people contributed to my tardiness. I would like to thank my parents for never giving me a ride to school, the LA city bus driver who took a chance on an unknown kid and last but not least, the wonderful crew from McDonalds who spend hours making those egg McMuffins without which I might never be tardy.
(Epic. Just, epic).

Murray: Woman, lend me fi' dollas.

Dionne: Murray, I have asked you repeatedly not to call me "woman".

Murray: Excuse me, "Ms. Dionne."

Dionne: Thank you.

Murray: Okay, but, street slang is an increasingly valid form of expression. Most of the feminine pronouns do have mocking, but not necessarily in misogynistic undertones.

(HAHAHAH. Classic).

Cher: It’s like that book I read in the 9th grade that said, “‘Tis a far, far better thing doing stuff for other people.”

Heather: It’s just like Hamlet said, “To thine own self be true.”

Cher: Hamlet didn’t say that.

Heather: I think I remember Hamlet accurately.

Cher: Well, I remember Mel Gibson accurately, and he didn’t say that. That Polonius guy did. (Preach).

Tai: Do you think she’s pretty?

Cher: No, she’s a full-on Monet.

Tai: What’s a monet?

Cher: It’s like a painting, see? From far away, it’s OK, but up close, it’s a big old mess. (I mean, accurate).

Amber: Ms. Stoeger, my plastic surgeon doesn’t want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose.

Dionne: Well, there goes your social life. (HA).

Tai: I could really use some sort of herbal refreshment.

Dionne: Oh, well we do lunch in ten minutes. We don’t have any tea, but we have Coke and stuff.

Tai: No shit. You guys got Coke here?

Dionne: Well, yeah.

Cher: Yeah, this is America. (Yeah, thank God).

Cher: Sporadically. It means once in a while. Try to use it in a sentence.

Josh: [later] Be seeing you.

Tai: Yeah, I hope not sporadically.

Cher: So like, right now for example. The Haitians need to come to America. But some people are all, “What about the strain on our resources?” Well it’s like when I had this garden party for my father’s birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. ’cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin’. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier.And so if the government could just get to the kitchen, rearrange some things, we could certainly party with the Haitians. And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you very much. (AMEN sister-friend).
