“Lisa’s Advice” is a comedic web series that at first is a satire about advice-giving, but underneath is really about how women talk to each other and navigate the hilarious yet very real codes of female friendship.
Written, directed and starred in by two funny ladies, Anna Christopher and Regina Taufen, who are real-life friends and real-life filmmakers, Lisa’s Advice began as a joke made over a hangover cure-all breakfast at IHOP. Fueled by the notion of making something that tickled their funny bone regardless of anyone else’s opinions, the two put their own dozens of wrinkled dollars on the table and called upon a few helpful friends (and boyfriends) to actualize the web series. Now LISA’S ADVICE is 13 videos, each deliciously short (:30-:60), providing LOL-worthy insights into this fictional yet curiously familiar friendship between a lovable, try-hard straight woman and a vicious, unstoppable funny woman.
