We asked you to help us rank Kristen Wiig’s best and worst SNL characters — and here’s how the results shook out. (Hey Gilly: Sorry.)

Ah, to hang out on the couch with these two.

Anyone who has seen the trailer for Friends With Kids knows that the March 9 comedy could easily be a bizarro-world spiritual sequel to Bridesmaids, what with a cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Jon Hamm, Maya Rudolph, and Chris O’Dowd. But the film boasts even more lovable cast members: Friends With Kids focuses on two friends, played by Adam Scott and Jennifer Westfeldt, who decide to have a child together, platonically.

Who knew one little accessory could be such a big mistake? Kristen’s perfectly understated nude Balenciaga gown was completely overshadowed by the distracting studded choker (wait, those still exist?) accosting her neck.

7 Minutes in Heaven’ with Kristen Wiig … Yes, please.

We really, really wish that we could quote this awesome, NSFW montage of outtakes from Bridesmaids. Instead, we’ll just say this: “Great acoustics.”

Every couple of years, Hollywood remembers that there’s this weirdly esoteric, fringe-group demographic — I believe the term for it is “women” — who actually enjoy seeing their lives portrayed on screen every bit as much as men do.

Owen Gleiberman on the “surprise” success of Bridesmaids—and how it establishes Kristen Wiig as a triple-threat every bit as talented as Tina Fey.

I went to a screening of it last week, and, at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, it just might be one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen. I know the trailers make it look heavy on gross-out jokes—and there definitely is a good amount of potty humor—but it’s also sweet and charming and smart and amazing.

Anyhow, here are seven more clips of it; watch them all, over and over again, and then please pay $13 to see it when it opens. If this movie doesn’t make $500 million, there is no justice.

Is this woman one of the three or four most talented SNL performers of all time? Lorne Michaels certainly thinks so—he told the New York Times that Kristen Wiig ranks among the best comedians ever to grace Studio 8H.

Do you agree with Dr. Evil’s assessment?
