Amy Poehler's 'Boston Side' Ignites First-Class Fight Over Mid-Flight Swearing

Amy Poehler isn't just a 'cool mom' from 'Mean Girls'; she's a formidable opponent in a mid-air argument. The comedian recently revealed that her "Boston side" came out during a heated exchange with a fellow first-class passenger who scolded her for swearing in front of a baby.

The Scolding That Sparked a Showdown

According to Entertainment Weekly, Poehler shared the anecdote on her 'Good Hang' podcast with longtime friend Ana Gasteyer. The incident occurred years ago when they were traveling with Gasteyer's then-infant daughter, Frances. A man in first class apparently took issue with Poehler's volume and choice of language, leading to a confrontation.

"My Boston came out, let's just say that," Poehler recalled with a smile. Gasteyer laughed along, remembering the encounter as "the best thing" she had ever seen. While the passenger likely expected a submissive apology, he instead faced the sharp wit and fiery temper of the SNL alumna.

A Friendship Forged in Comedy

Poehler and Gasteyer's history dates back to 2001 on the set of Saturday Night Live. They later starred together in the 2004 cult classic 'Mean Girls.' Interestingly, the baby at the center of the plane drama, Frances, is now 23 years old, highlighting just how long these icons have remained close.
