10 reasons we love Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

By Ben Kelly

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

is more than just your average Tina Fey created exclusive Netflix comedy. In just a few short weeks it has become an institution; a show which has allowed us to express ourselves purely through ridiculous gifs, like no other before it. So in its honour, here are 10 reasons why we love it.

 

1. Because Kimmy’s venture into the big city alone for the first time is similar to our own.

2. Because Jane Krakowski is everything.

3. Because secretly we’re all as lazy as Titus.

4. Because we’ve all had to resort to desperate methods to mentally remove ourselves from awful situations.

5. Because it straddles the line between ridiculousness and real life perfectly.

6. Because of this bouquet of dogs.

7. Because we’ve all sung the wrong song at a stranger’s funeral.

8. Because Kimmy’s struggle with modern dance music is all our struggles.

9. Because it’s Tina Fey’s creation and she comes along at the end to add to the ridiculous characters.

10. Peeno Noir, and all that rhymes with it.
