This Bridesmaids mug by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tarotandreading) store Perks of Aurora reads "Help me, I'm poor."

The 2011 film, written and starred in by Kristen Wiig, followed the rising competition between a bridesmaid and maid of honor, both vying for the title of the bride's best friend. The film relaunched the tiresome "can [women be funny](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underpaid-women)?" debate upon its release (the answer being a resounding "yes"). The line was in one of the most hilarious, often-quoted scenes of the film, in which tensions between the wedding party climax when Wiig's character liberally mixes booze and pain killers on a flight to Vegas. Unsurprisingly, hilarity ensues.

This mug is perfect for those who love the film (as well as those who are broke as a joke).
