Lena Dunham has achieved considerable success with her HBO television series ‘Girls;’ however, the folks over at SNL had a little fun with their Girls parody video starring returning cast member Tina Fey.
The video pokes fun at the existing characters – obsessive-compulsive Hannah, Spirited Jessa, Perpetually Lost Marnie and Super-Fast-Talker Shoshanna – and introduces a character of their own. Yes, Tina Fey plays the latest "Girl" – an Albanian immigrant who goes by the name of Blerta and simply does not understand these girls’ over-privileged NYC lives.
The result is a hilarious culture shock filled with Blerta’s (Tina Fey’s) frank advice and anecdotes from the old country that will sure to have fans – and critics – laughing. SNL hit the nail on the head with this satirical, sidesplitting Girls parody video. The real HBO Girls returns for its third season in early 2014.
