I’d like a pop-up magazine with 45 articles on Russell Crowe. I’m like a teenager. I’d have ’Teen Beat’ if I could, for grown-ups.

Caroline Rhea jokes about having an unabashed, teen-idol-style crush on actor Russell Crowe, despite being an adult. By invoking “Teen Beat” (a magazine associated with adolescent celebrity fandom) and imagining a “pop-up magazine” stuffed with articles, she exaggerates her enthusiasm to comic effect. The humor comes from the contrast between mature self-awareness (“I’m like a teenager”) and the deliberately over-the-top consumer fantasy. The line also lightly satirizes celebrity culture: even grown-ups, she implies, can be pulled into the same giddy, collectible, fan-magazine impulses marketed to teens.
