Shit Girls Say is a humorous Twitter feed and web series created by Canadian writers Kyle Humphrey and Graydon Sheppard. [1] [2] The series jokes about female conversation. [1]
The Twitter account @shitgirlssay was launched in April 2011, and promoted by Sheppard through his film and music industry contacts. [3]
As of August 2012, they had 1.6 million Twitter followers. [4]
At one point, Toronto International Film Festival artistic director Cameron Bailey tweeted that he hoped the Twitter feed would be made into a movie. By that point, Juliette Lewis had already filmed an appearance in the first video. [3]
The original video, as of September 2012, had 30 million views. [5]
The boyfriend in some videos is played by Humphrey. [6]
Becoming an Internet meme, the series itself has been parodied on YouTube as a snowclone for other demographics, both for humorous effect and non-humorous, political effect. Some materials suggest that at least 700 imitation videos were created, [5] while other reports suggest over 1000. [4] Among them are "S--- Liz Lemon Says", the favourite imitator of the creators. [4]
The fourth video debuted at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, in a Maverick session hosted by George Stromboulopoulos. [4] [7] Other sessions in the series talked with Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem. [4]
Videos scripts are written as a team, and Sheppard directs. [4] Sheppard auditioned for the role of Betsy Putch in The Mindy Project, admittedly bombing, a role given to Zoe Jarman. [6]
