Kristen Wiig is celebrating her birthday today, so we thought, why not celebrate her? From Bridesmaids, to Saturday Night Live, to Despicable Me, Kristen has given us some of our favourite Laugh Out Loud moments.

We’re so excited because she’s taking over our screens this year and next, starring in EIGHT films and two television shows including Diary Of A Teenage Girl, Ghostbusters, Zoolander 2 and Wet Hot American Summer. So in homage to one of the best funny women, here are our favourite on-screen moments of her. 

When her character Dooneese (with tiny, baby hands and a giant forehead) performed with James Franco…

When she was the most badass Cinderella the world has ever seen…

When she showed us what true friendship was in Bridesmaids...

When she dressed up as a tea bag and danced with Justin Timberlake…

Actually, just anytime she danced alone too…

Or with Amy Poehler…

Or like she never left the Eighties…

Or trying to prove she’s not drunk, even though she so is…

Or as Gilly, the naughty school-child….

When she played the over-the-top, but pretty cool Agent Lucy Wilde in Despicable Me and had a lipstick taser...

When she did this sketch and we all started Googling whether you could actually do that…

Any sketch she ever did as Target Lady…

When she appeared with Sia and Maddie Ziegler in this 'Chandelier' performance and completely nailed it…

When she echoed everything we ever felt when boarding a flight for holiday…

When she was interviewed as Daenerys Targaryen on the Jimmy Fallon Show

When she completely slayed as Kris Jenner… 

When she got pranked on the Ellen Show by a man in a sheet - sorry I mean a ghost... 

When she turned the everyday sexism that women receive on to men - and did this...

When she declared her love for Jennifer Lawrence on stage... 

When her and Bill Hader interviewed a baby Taylor Swift... 

When she played this fabulous character in Arrested Development... 

When she made us feel a little bit better about being a fangirl...

When she did this to Dame Helen Mirren...

And when she was just generally one of our favourite people on telly both as herself, and in character... happy birthday Kristen!
