Tina Fey's Netflix sitcom is crammed with weird references that might have gone over your head
16. LaDonica/”Bitch, I don’t know your life”
From: S2E4 – ‘Kimmy Kidnaps Gretchen!’
Who says it: Jacqueline
What it means: In this clip, Jacqueline recalls going into a pharmacy and being told the above phrase by a woman called LaDonica. The moment combines various aspects of Fey’s other work – in Baby Mama the phrase itself is used; in 30 Rock, Kenneth encounters an unhelpful pharmacist called LaDonica.
17. “And she stepped on the ball!”
From: S1E6 – ‘Kimmy Goes to School!’
Who says it: Xan’s friend.
What it means: This episode recalls a line from Trading Places and Auntie Mame. In all of them a privileged person tells a story about stepping on a ball – in this case it’s one of Xanthippe’s terrible friends.
