You Should Watch 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt'

"Unbreakable! They alive damn it!! It's a miracle!" I swear I sing this song all day and everyday; it's a little sad. For the past week I have been binge watching the Netflix Original Series "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," and it's the best thing I've done so far this summer. I always heard that the show was funny but had no idea how funny it really was.

Here's a quick premise of the show:

Kimmy Schmidt along with three other women were abducted and held captive in a bunker for 15 years by a man claiming to be a reverend saying that the world was going to end. When finally freed, Kimmy decides to start her new life in New York City and see where life takes her. Along the way she makes strange friends (who have good hearts) and has even stranger misadventures. In a way, the show sounds like it could be super heavy and kind of disturbing. But the show does a fantastic job of not taking itself too seriously, which causes this show to be a slapstick comedy instead of depressing drama.

The entire cast is amazing. The main cast and the recurring cast are hilarious. I find myself trying to hold in laughter in the middle of the night so I don't wake up anybody. Ellie Kemper (Kimmy Schmidt) brings a stupid ignorance and innocence to Kimmy that makes you smile every time she does something, because you know she still has the mind set of a 14-year-old from 2000. Also, Kimmy is just a weird person. Tituss Burgess (Titus Andromedon) is the reason I can never breathe properly while watching this show. Portraying Kimmy's extremely selfish and fabulous roommate, Titus says all the things you shouldn't say to a kidnapped victim, and you crack up every time he does. Trust me, he breathes so much into this show it's ridiculous. Carol Kane (Lillian Kaushtupper) plays Kimmy and Titus's landlord who is as crazy as a nut. She's born and raised in NYC and is hell bent on saving the neighborhood from gentrification. Jane Krakowski (Jacqueline Voorhees) is just a hilarious person. If you've seen "30 Rock," then you know how funny she is. Her character is so weird. She's a rich Manhattan socialite who is extremely self-absorbed and completely shallow. What's even stranger is that she's actually a Native American who has completely white-washed herself in order to be white. The last character I'm going to talk about is the Reverend. He's played by Jon Hamm who I had no idea could be so funny! The Reverend is a stupid, stupid person, and I had no idea that the man from "Mad Men" could be so funny. So funny. I'm still in shock how funny he is on the show.

Instead of listening to me rave about how hilarious the show is, everybody needs to watch it. Do the Netflix free trial or borrow a friend's subscription if you don't have Netflix, because you definitely need to watch this show.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
