I know, I know, you'll probably say I have no taste, but I think Chris Lilley's Ja'mie is a masterpiece. I'm glad someone had a go at satirising the private school princess stereotype because it had to be done, and if you ask me, Lilley's pulled it off very professionally.
Don't get me wrong, I find Lilley utterly annoying as a comedian. He's way over-the-top and seems to have an excessive ego, but these are the very attributes that work for Ja'mie. She is the only Chris Lilley character who I actually think is funny. I don't even mind sitting through the others just to watch her. She's classic.
I love it when she says, "no offence". It reminds me of the rudeness of some teenage girls and how much I wanted to hit people at school who said "no offence" so flippantly when they said something that was really offensive. Ughh!
Ja'mie is the epitome of 'shallow hot rich girl'-ness, and despite myself, I secretly want to be her for a day, just to know what it's like to be completely ignorant and have infinite self confidence.
But it's like, so not going to happen, no offence.
