About

"Stop Trying to Make Fetch Happen" is a memorable quote uttered by the character Regina George in the 2004 teen comedy film Mean Girls to discourage her friend Gretchen from using the slang term "fetch." The quote inspired the creation of an image macro series using the phrasal template "Stop trying to make X happen / It's not going to happen."

Origin

In Mean Girls, released on April 30th, 2004, the character Regina George (played by Rachel McAdams) scolds her friend Gretchen Wieners (played by Lacey Chabert) for using the term "fetch" as a synonym for "cool."



Gretchen: "That is so fetch!"
Regina: "Gretchen, stop trying to make fetch happen! It's not going to happen!"

On March 1st, 2012, Redditor Keilantra submitted an image macro using a screen capture of McAdams in Mean Girls with a caption urging Google to abandon their efforts with the Google+ social networking service to /r/funny.[5] Prior to being archived, the post gained over 1,000 upvotes and 60 comments.
