Very Mary Kate

A Web Original written and performed by Elaine Carroll. It satirizes the life of actress Mary Kate Olsen. Mary Kate's fictional bodyguard appears frequently in the series, and (along with Mary Kate) will occasionally co-star with Ashley. The web series is notable for Flanderizing common media portrayals of the Olsen twins to the point of absurdity, and getting downright silly with some of its plotlines.

Tropes used in Very Mary Kate include:
  • Acting for Two: Elaine Carroll plays both Mary Kate and Ashley.
  • A Day in The Spotlight: Bodyguard.
  • Arbitrarily-Large Bank Account:
    • Mary Kate bought all the real estate in Louisiana and renamed it Mary Kanada so that she could write a history paper on the Lousiana Purchase about herself.
    • She also spends 30 million dollars to get her cat cloned over and over again... because it keeps dying due to her not taking care of it.
  • Butt Monkey: Mary Kate's unfortunate professor.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: Mary Kate.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Bodyguard interprets one of Mary Kate's long rants about Ashley sleeping with him to be about Ashley being somewhat literate.

Mary Kate [reading Ashley's diary]: Dear diary, Bodyguard and me kissed. It was good and I like dresses. Smiley face, heart, outline of her hand! Then she practiced upper cased J's for a few pages! Do you know what this means?!
Bodyguard: That she's somewhat literate?

Zac Efron: I'm really into this English band called The Beatles.
Mary Kate: Oh yeah! Me too! Same as me! I'm the same!
Zac Efron: Awesome! So what's your favourite song?
Mary Kate: I... really like the song... that goes.. Bee...aa.... tles...
