    "I thought you were going to practice!"

    "I lied."

    (At the 2008 Emmy's.)

    3. They're extremely comfortable with one another.

    4. They're the best at mocking politics.

    See: Fey's brilliant performance as Sarah Palin in SNL's Fall 2008 season. And Poehler as a versatile co-conspirator, in this case as Hillary Clinton.

    5. But they're equally good when it comes to pop culture.

    6. They're equally great on any stage.

    In this skit from the 2005 A.S.S.S.S.C.A.T.: Improv series, which featured skits from Upright Citizens Brigade, Poehler and Fey perform without much of a stage at all. And it's still hilarious.

    7. They're honest with each other.

    Amy grills Tina in this promo interview for their movie, Baby Mama, in which Tina says it once and for all: bubble baths are overrated.

    8. They photo bomb each other.

    Tina executed a truly perfect photo bomb on Amy at the 2012 Golden Globes. Hopefully we'll get to see more of that.

    9. They will probably rap.

    As evidenced in this leaked clip of Fey, Poehler and Lindsay Lohan performing the "Kevin G" rap from Mean Girls, they know how to break it down.

    10. And dance.

    11. And just be generally kind of awesomely weird.

    12. And no matter how hard they try...

    13. They won't be able to keep a straight face.
