Kristen Bell As Minimum-Wage Mary Poppins Is Super Cal-Amazing

Mary Poppins can do near anything: pack an entire kitchen in her purse, fly around on an umbrella and, somehow, make this outfit look like a good idea. But there’s one thing she can’t do: Survive on the paltry $7.25 minimum wage in 2014.

That’s what the charmingly progressive Kristen Bell is here to remind us in her equally charming and progressive “Mary Poppin Quits” sketch on Funny or Die.
