Kim Kardashian isn't the only one with the power to #BreakTheInternet. After years of stand-up, writing and more recently acting in television series such as Kroll Show and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, comedian Chelsea Peretti has garnered some major Internet and IRL fame. Whether she's crushing #TBT on Instagram, tweeting at "action movie level intensity" or coining her own phrases, Peretti has consistently let us know that (unsurprisingly) women are funny, and, with her stand-up special now on Netflix, she's sure to let everybody know it again. Here are 15 times Chelsea Peretti proved that she's definitely One of the Greats.
Every time she posted a slew of #TBT photos to Instagram.
No photo is too embarrassing for Chelsea, who remains committed to posting a string of photos from her past each Throwback Thursday.
When she held a book signing.
The fact that she's never written a book before didn't hold Chelsea back from doing a book signing after one of her recent stand-up sets. Fans were asked to bring any book that they wanted Chelsea to sign, and she added some pretty cute comments next to her signature, too.
Every time she's kept it real on Twitter.
This is coming from the woman whose Twitter bio claims: “CAPS AREN'T YELLING THEY R ACTION MOVIE LEVEL INTENSITY TWEETING.”
When she shared her profound understanding of emojis.
Chelsea, not unlike her Brooklyn Nine-Nine character, Gina Linetti, has a lot of thoughts about emojis. Not only is she a frequent emoji user, but she has a pretty solid grip on some of the social implications of sending them back and forth. She knows what it really means to send an emoji to your loved ones.
When she revealed her great taste in shoes.
These shoes go so hard. Also, she claims they're indicative of the right mental state and who could argue with that?
When she Instagram'd the ultimate #TBT.
Chelsea Peretti and Andy Samberg, now co-stars on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, once grew up together in the Bay Area. Chelsea also admits that she used to have a crush on young Andy, calling his house and hanging up once someone answered.
When she started her podcast.
Every week, Chelsea talks to random callers for her podcast, “Call Chelsea Peretti”. It's no “Serial,” but the theme song could honestly rival that of an NPR talk show.
When she and her brother created a website.
Chelsea Peretti's older brother is none other than BuzzFeed creator and CEO, Jonah Peretti. Over a decade ago, the two created "Black People Love Us!", a hilarious satirical approach to discussing racism and tokenism through comedy, something not every visitor to the site seemed to "get."
When Anita Baker followed her back on Twitter.
She loves Anita Baker more than your average middle-aged Motown fanatic.
That time she made Anderson Cooper report on her impeccable IG game.
Chelsea once edited a screenshot of AC360 to make it look like Anderson Cooper was reporting on the fact the she does indeed crush #TBT every single week on Instagram.
When she shared this photo.
As someone who dabbled in comedy during her years at Barnard, entering the stand-up scene shortly thereafter, and writing for television series like Parks & Recreation, Chelsea has garnered a large network of comedian friends. Who wouldn't want to see when Chelsea was hanging out with Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones?
When she shared her personal conversation with Siri.
Something tells us that Chelsea's relationship with Siri is probably very special.
When she got political.
Chelsea's tweet revealed that she's not just a regular comedian, but a socially conscious one.
When she connected with her fans.
Chelsea definitely knows her fan base.
When she posted the cutest double #tbt photo on Instagram.
