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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-daily-snoo) filled with Blerta’s (Tina Fey’s) frank advice and anecdotes from the old country that will sure to have fans – and critics – laughing.
