This video made the rounds last month, yet somehow I managed to not watch it until just recently. It wasn’t that I wasn’t interested, it’s just at that point I was a tad It Gets Bettered out. (And, again, not that I have anything at all against the campaign – it’s wonderful and amazing and should go on forever and ever). But, you know, I know it gets better so I wasn’t sure I needed to hear it again. But then, out of my normal mix of insomnia and procrastination, I finally clicked the link I’d favorite for a rainy day. And, boy, was I thrilled I did. Not only is Rebecca Drysdale’s “It Gets Better” music video the funniest and cleverest (and danciest) of all the It Gets Better campaign, it’s also one of the most unexpectedly encouraging. So if you, like me, were suffering from a little inspirational burn out, please fight through the doldrums and hit play instead. I promise you, this video is the better we’ve been getting at – and then some. (Note: Mild NSFW language, so just wear headphones.)Like I was saying, awesome. So awesome it’s been in my head for days – and I’m happy about it. Some of you might be familiar with delightfully naughty comedian Rebecca Drysdale already. But if it was your first introduction, my, wasn’t that a treat? Others of you will remember Beck D from her equally hilarious “The L Word Serenade” music video from a few years back. Not ringing a bell? How about a refresher. (Same NSFW language, so keep those headphones on.)
Damn, now that’s stuck in my head. And by “damn,” I mean “awesome.”
p.s. Obscure, but cool fact: “30 Rock” writer and fellow comedian Kay Cannon was a producer for this “It Gets Better” video. Everyone involved with that show is just continually high fiving a million angels.

I don't know how I missed this (or the L Word Serenade) but thanks so much for both. Made my Wednesday a whole lot better (considering this week has already lasted long enough).
And that L Word Serenade is sooo NSFW. I even felt weird listening to it with headphones. Nice :)
I'm a super big fan of this blog and read it almost religiously, but I usually just lurk and never comment on anything... But I'm in high school and I've been kind of loosing the whole "It Gets Better" vibe lately, this was a very much needed reminder that it'll get better one day :) Thanks.
Thank you so much for this. It was great!
That is fabulous! Becky D, keep workin it girl. You are the bomb! Super cute too ;)
I just pissed my pants, that was bloody hilarious. Thanks for posting it.
That was unbelievably AWESOME! I feel like my head's been stuck in the sand for not knowing Rebecca Drysdale before tonight. Searching for everything that I can find of hers now!!
That was... AMAZING. Thank you so much. So exactly what I needed after this very, very long day. :)
Aww man... I just got the L word serenade out of my head a month ago... Now it will be stuck again... She is hillarious.
I'm with you Snarker on the overdone and oversimplified message of It Gets Better, but this was a fresh take. Thanks for sharing!
OMG!!!!! Can I just say THANK YOU!!!! I mean seriously I love all the stuff you post, but this my be my favorite!! For someone recently out, your blog is a light in my sometimes gloomy hectic life!!!
Holy crap, Rebecca Drysdale is fucking awesome. I'm embarassed I hadn't heard of her before, but her youtube channel and I are going to remedy that lapse immediately. Thank you for this - so damn awesome.
Loved it . . . especially the It Gets Better vid. Definitely a bright spot in my morning. I hadn't heard of Rebecca Drysdale either . . . I will be looking up her stuff soon!
