(upbeat energetic music)

Yes.

Whoops, my bad.

I'd always say that I'm Khadijah from Living Single

but I'm also Miranda from Sex and the City

and I look at Tracee Ellis Ross as one

of the original awkward black girls.

(upbeat energetic music)

Do any of you have a completely unremarkable friend

or maybe a houseplant I can go

to dinner with on a Saturday night?

I feel like that's Sex in the City Miranda.

(bell rings)

Yes!

Don't let his Prada fool you.

Is that Living Single?

(buzzer buzzes)

Dammit, dammit.

I used to think people who sat alone at Starbucks

writing on their laptops were pretentious posers.

Now I know, they are people who have

recently moved in with someone.

100% Sex in the City.

(bell rings)

Carrie, mm-hmm.

We embrace our big booties and we move on.

That's gotta be Girlfriends.

(bell rings)

Yes.

He looked the same.

He smelled the same.

The next thing I knew he kissed me

and my clothes fell off.

That Girlfriends?

(buzzer buzzes)

Jeez.

If you don't your tear ducts will get blocked up

and then when you get old you won't be able to cry.

I know this.

Is this Girlfriends?

(buzzer buzzes)

It was Sex in the City?

(buzzer buzzes)

Who said that?

(laughs)

Woo woo woo.

Sexy is what I try to get them to see me as

after I win them over with my personality.

My girl Miranda.

(bell rings)

Keep them in the dark until they mature into

something we wouldn't mind having dinner with.

What?

I'm gonna guess Living Single.

(bell rings)

Oh, yes.

You just don't know what it takes to be this stunning.

Girlfriends?

(bell rings)

Yes.

I don't know.

I can't be bothered with her little drama.

I'm pregnant and I'm hungry.

Living Single?

(buzzer buzzes)

Who was pregnant on Girlfriends?

God I'm failing.

Sorry Mara.

Ugly sex is hot.

Some of the best sex I've had is

with people I can't stand.

Is that Sex in the City?

(bell rings)

Oh.

You can tell what I've watched recently

and what I haven't watched in a minute.
