00:00Which of you is the father? I am. Right.
00:04Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the best, most hilarious
00:09and iconic moments from the four movies in the Bridget Jones franchise. If you haven't
00:14seen the latest movie, beware of spoilers ahead.
00:17Excellent, fire station. And now, back to the studio.
00:25Number 20. Meeting Ed Sheeran, Bridget Jones' baby.
00:29Over a decade since we last reunited with Bridget, she's become a thriving TV producer
00:33and split from Mark, who's since married someone else.
00:37I didn't tell you because you wouldn't have come. Seriously, it's been five years. You've
00:42got to shake yourself out of this self-imposed purdue feeling ever since you split up with
00:47your precious Mark Darcy.
00:49Ready to embrace singlehood, she gets roped into a music festival by her friend Miranda.
00:54Eventually, Bridget gets into the spirit of things and asks a stranger to take a photo
00:58to commemorate the moment.
00:59Hey, what are you doing?
01:00I was taking a photo. I thought you guys wanted a photo.
01:01Yeah, we do. Of us.
01:02Yes, terribly sorry, but we thought it would be really fun to get a photo of us backstage
01:03among all these glamorous people. I think that's the guy from Bargain Hunt. It'd be
01:04great if you could get him in the shot. Quick, quick, quick.
01:05So you don't want me in the photo at all?
01:19Now maybe it's the drinks, or maybe it's a generational thing, but they think it's a bit
01:23pompous of this rando ginger guy to try to get in on the photo. Turns out he's a pretty
01:28good musician, and a lot of people enjoy listening to his songs. Too bad his talents are wasted
01:33at Starbucks.
01:47Number 19. Lawyer's Quiz Night. Bridget Jones, The Edge of Reason.
01:52Bridget works hard to make a good impression at Mark's law council dinner. Unfortunately,
01:56it soon becomes clear that she doesn't really fit in with this crowd.
02:00Honestly, this is the sort of rubbish you'd expect from some fat, balding, Tory, Dome
02:06County's upper middle class twits.
02:10However, when a quiz is announced, Bridget hopes her trivial pursuit experience will
02:15help her win them over, only she seems to have forgotten that this is a lawyer's dinner.
02:20Luckily, even they sometimes need to let loose, so there's a pop culture round, and
02:24Bridget's finally in her element.
02:37One right answer after another, she doesn't just impress her table, but the whole room.
02:42When it comes down to the final question, she's sure this is going to be her moment.
02:47Well, maybe next time.
03:02Number 18. Dr. Rawlings Being An Icon. Bridget Jones' Baby.
03:07As the title suggests, Bridget is unexpectedly pregnant at 43 and unsure of the father, but
03:12it introduces us to Dr. Rawlings. Played by Emma Thompson, she might not have much
03:17screen time, but her dry wit and sharp delivery make her an undeniable scene stealer.
03:22What about the first scan? Would that show when conception took place?
03:26No. Bring this number to fix the date and do bring along the father if you can work
03:30out which one he is.
03:32She's the kind of doctor who's seen it all, phased by nothing, and has zero patience for
03:37nonsense. Not exactly the warm, fuzzy presence you'd want during such a life-changing moment,
03:42but undeniably fun to watch.
03:53In a way, she's the perfect contrast to Bridget's endearing chaos. One thing's for sure, this
03:58baby will grow up hearing wildly entertaining stories about the doctor who couldn't be rattled
04:03by anything.
04:16Number 17. Another Darcy moment. Bridget Jones, mad about the boy. Bridget starts dating the
04:22younger Rockster. We'll get to know how they met shortly. Anyway, after a summer of romance,
04:28she invited him to her colleague Talitha's birthday party. He makes a late entrance,
04:42but boy, what an entrance it is. After some unwanted attention, Bridget loses hold on
04:47Talitha's dog, who makes a beeline for the pond. The dog's fine, but that doesn't stop
04:52Rockster from diving in, white shirt and all, for a dramatic rescue. What follows is
05:09what we can only call another Darcy moment. Everyone stands around and gawks at a now
05:14shirtless Rockster greeting Bridget. Luckily for them, their host doesn't seem to mind
05:20about all the kerfuffle they've caused anyway.
05:28Number 16. Mark is there for Bridget, Bridget Jones's baby. Despite having walked away earlier,
05:35Mark happens to arrive like the knight in shining armor Bridget has stopped believing
05:38in just in the nick of time. No, really, he couldn't have cut it closer to the wire.
05:53In a bold declaration of devotion, he proves she comes first by throwing his phone out
05:58the window, which for him is a huge deal. But the moment he truly shows her they could
06:02make it work is when he supports her through labor, even as her teeth are clenched into
06:07his arm. When she asks how he'd feel if the baby isn't his, his answer is so sweet it's
06:12impossible not to tear up. He really is her Mr. Darcy.
06:27Number 15. The magical man tree, Bridget Jones mad about the boy. You might remember this
06:32from the trailer, but it's even funnier in the film. Bridget takes her kids to Hampstead
06:36Heath and gets distracted by Tinder, thanks to Miranda. Hearing her kids' cries of distress,
06:42she does what every good mom would do and runs to help. Well, she tries. As Bridget
06:55clings desperately for assistance, they're rescued by none other than Mr. Wallacher,
07:00who just happens to pass by, and park ranger Rockster, who jumps in to save the Darcy clan.
07:06It's a unique meet-cute, quite different from her past romantic encounters. No spoilers,
07:23but we're just saying if we happen to be in London, you might find us searching for
07:26this magical man tree too.
07:36Number 14. Not your usual date night undergarment, Bridget Jones' diary. After some rather inappropriate
07:43workplace flirting, Bridget's friends coach her on how to progress things with Daniel
07:48to get. However, it all comes down to one very important decision. Hey, we've all been
08:05there. And honestly, it was refreshing to see Bridget make the more relatable choice.
08:09Her primping pays off as she and Daniel leave the event together, but as things heat up,
08:14she's reminded of her earlier decision. Luckily for her, he finds them pretty endearing.
08:22And as far as we're concerned, this is the moment Bridget became an underwear trailblazer.
08:27Too bad her judgment wasn't quite as sound when she decided to answer her phone like
08:31this.
08:41Number 13. Birthing class, Bridget Jones' baby. Bridget shares her news with the two
08:45potential fathers over dinner, and let's just say Mark doesn't take it all too well. Still,
08:50despite his initial reservations, he shows up for baby class. Jack, seeing how uncomfortable
09:07he is, decides to lean into a little misunderstanding and have a little fun with it. Things get
09:12rather competitive between the two, and Jack can't help but do everything to push all of
09:16his potential co-parents' buttons along the way. Things eventually blow up between them,
09:25but before that moment, it was quite fun watching Jack mess with Mark. If he's going to have
09:30a child, he may want to loosen up.
09:41Number 12. Gorgeous bottom, Bridget Jones' the edge of reason. Ah, the glow of new love.
09:52In a moment of post-sex bliss, Bridget decides to call newly-won beau Mark Darcy from work
09:58to flirt. It's the sort of adorable, cheeky, impulsive moment that makes us, and Darcy,
10:03love Bridget. Whispering that she's had a wonderful shag, she compliments him on his
10:07gorgeous bottom. When Darcy abruptly lets her in on a crucial bit of information, she's
10:33on speakerphone, and he's meeting with several important clients. Her face says it all. Anyone
10:49who has ever been caught on the wrong side of a phone call will know just how she feels.
11:00Number 11. All by myself, Bridget Jones' diary. Watching Bridget Jones in your 30s is like
11:05staring into a mirror, if that mirror showed you all your self-doubt, relationship chaos,
11:10and career freakouts. She's the poster child for our collective chaos, reminding us that
11:25adulting is as glamorous as a day-old takeout. We get it. It's often tempting to indulge in our
11:31favorite vices, turn up whatever song reflects our mood, and wallow in self-pity. For Bridget,
11:45that song is all by myself sung by Celine Dion. She truly takes the lyrics to heart,
11:50allowing her feelings to spill out as the song crescendos.
11:58This moment is revisited in the third movie, but with a twist,
12:02as Bridget embraces her thriving single woman era.
12:05Number 10. Blue Soup, Bridget Jones' diary.
12:25After landing a new job, our girl just wants to throw a nice dinner party for her friends.
12:30But while she might be the new face of British pop culture and current affairs,
12:34Julia Child, she is not. After exploding her blender, and downing a little liquid courage,
12:52Darcy shows up unexpectedly to wish her happy birthday and congratulate her on the new job.
12:57I came to congratulate the new face of British current affairs.
13:06But I say I may have come at a bad time.
13:09Seeing a blue disaster in progress, and being the nice guy he really is deep down,
13:14he offers to step in and help. What follows is a genuinely sweet, flirtatious scene showing
13:20that even the simplest, most domestic moments can sometimes be the loveliest.
13:24Number 9. Quitting, Bridget Jones' diary.
13:45Sometimes you've just gotta stick it to the man. After discovering that her boyfriend,
13:49and boss, Daniel Cleaver has been cheating on her, Bridget is miserable at work. Who wouldn't
13:55be? In short order, Jones comes to the conclusion that she can no longer work
13:59for Daniel and respect herself. She quits, but Daniel seems to be having none of it.
14:04Well I just think you should know that um, you know there are lots of prospects here for a
14:08talented person. Yeah just give me a minute will you Simon, thanks. Lots of prospects
14:14for a person who uh, you know perhaps for personal reasons has been slightly overlooked
14:22professionally. When he tries to demean her and then beg her to come back,
14:26our girl brushes him off with one of the best parting lines in cinematic history.
14:30Finding the courage to publicly hold your ground against your ex and your boss in the same moment?
14:35Miss Jones, you're our new best friend. Thank you Daniel, that is very good to know.
14:41But if staying here means working within 10 yards of you,
14:44frankly I'd rather have a job wiping Saddam Hussein's ass.
14:48Number 8. Wedding scene. Who's the dad? Bridget Jones's baby. This was the moment the films were
14:54leading up to. Bridget and Mark have had some bumps along the way. Arguably the biggest one,
14:59Bridget had to carry for roughly nine months. Hello you. Is that your ear or your foot?
15:07When she meets Jack while walking down the aisle, the audience is momentarily led to believe that
15:11she has picked the new guy. But then we see that he's just holding her baby for her,
15:16while she goes to marry the man she was always meant to be with. Turns out Mark is also the
15:21baby daddy. Hello. Hi. We're really doing this? No going back now. Sorry Jack, but with everything
15:34that Jack and Mark go through throughout the film, eventually becoming friends,
15:38it is a touching moment for the trio and a truly happy ending.
15:46Number 7. First meeting at the turkey curry buffet. Bridget Jones's diary. Your mother's
15:51trying to fix you up with some divorcee. Human rights barrister, pretty nasty beast apparently.
15:59Who? Ding dong. Our first encounter with Ms. Jones is as memorable as anything to follow.
16:05Once again subjected to her mother's brand of heavy-handed matchmaking at her parents' annual
16:10Christmas turkey curry buffet party, Bridget is astounded to see that for once her old mom might
16:15be spot on. Mark? Maybe this was the mysterious Mr. Right I've been waiting my whole life to meet.
16:23Do you remember Bridget? Overwhelmed by this new and extremely handsome development,
16:29she tries her best to make conversation and be charming, and instead makes a rambling fool of
16:34herself. But who hasn't made a fool of themselves in the presence of beautiful men, right?
16:38And keep New Year's resolutions. And stop talking total nonsense to strangers. In fact,
16:50in fact, stop talking full stop. Darcy's harsh, if eloquent, summation of Bridget
16:56makes our girl realize that maybe it's time to make a few changes in her life.
17:00And thus, a legend was born. Mother, I do not need a blind date, particularly not with some
17:06verbally incontinent spinster who smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish, and dresses like
17:10a mother. Yummy. Turkey curry, my favorite. And that was it, right there, right there,
17:24that was the moment. Number six, trip to the hospital, Bridget Jones's baby. My waters must
17:30have broken. What's better than two men fighting over you? How about two handsome men falling over
17:35themselves to help you in your time of need? When Bridget goes into labor, Mark is there to
17:40get her to the hospital. Gallantly, he offers to carry her, but quickly realizes he may not be up
17:53to the task. Suddenly, Jack arrives to help save the day, and is likewise overcome. I'm here,
17:59okay, I can, I can, I can take it from here. Okay, I got this. The two men awkwardly and
18:07hilariously have to shift Bridget back and forth, working together to carry her to the hospital.
18:12It's uncomfortably hilarious minor dramas like this that have carried the series,
18:17no pun intended. Yes, over here, please, thank you.
18:26Which of you is the father? I am. Right. Number five, can't ski, pregnancy scare,
18:33Bridget Jones, The Edge of Reason. Oh, God.
18:43Mark and Bridget's romantic ski getaway is ruined when Bridget realizes that Rebecca,
18:48another lawyer whom she believes to be infatuated with Mark, has turned up as well.
18:52Bridget! Rebecca! What are you doing here? Didn't Mark tell you we were coming? No, no he didn't.
19:01Resigning herself to a weekend cozied up in the lodge, Bridget has the realization that there's
19:06been a little something else missing from her life as well. After only eight weeks of totally
19:11undisturbed sex. Wait a minute. No, eight weeks? It couldn't be, could it? Totally undisturbed.
19:22Oh, God. I'm pregnant. Panicked and distracted, Bridget begins to slip down the hill. She might
19:30be screaming in terror, but we're screaming with laughter. Landing, one would think she's had
19:35enough, but our heroine has business to take care of. The scene doesn't let up for a minute as,
19:40sliding right into a pharmacy, she attempts to make her needs known. I would like a pregnancy
19:46test, please. A pregnancy test. Ich bin possibly mit baby. Number four, Bridget doesn't get the
19:58costume memo. Bridget Jones's diary. Oh well, here we go. Who hasn't envisioned this nightmare
20:06in some form? You show up to an event thinking that you look fine, and oh holy hell, when her
20:12creepy uncle doesn't let her in on the fact that the fancy dress party has been changed to a regular
20:17dress party, Bridget shows up to a classy garden gathering dressed as a playboy bunny. Where are
20:23all the other tarts and dickers? Oh dear, didn't Jeffrey call you? Jeffrey, didn't you telephone
20:27Colin and Bridget? How's my little Bridget? Well obviously mortified, and despite the fact that
20:34she is surrounded by pensioners in sun hats and she's half naked in bunny ears, Bridget keeps her
20:39head high and gets a drink. Somehow by playing it so cool, by the end of the scene she practically
20:45fits in. Way to make the best of the worst situation, Jones. I think I can say with total
20:50confidence, absolutely not. Well I'm sure he'd say the same about you given your past behavior.
20:55Sorry? I think you know what I mean. Number three, nice boys don't kiss like that. Bridget Jones's
21:02diary. When Bridget told Mark to read something, she probably didn't mean her diary. Yet he flips
21:18through it and makes an abrupt exit into the snow, leaving Bridget to chase him, totally
21:22underdressed for the cold. In this case he just wanted to help her turn over a new leaf with a
21:27new diary. It's only a diary. Everyone knows diaries are just a form of crap.
21:39I know that. I'm just buying you a new one. Time to make a new start perhaps. Then in true rom-com
21:46fashion, they share a passionate kiss in the snow. It's a moment so steamy that Bridget can't believe
21:52this is the same Mark Darcy she once described as having a gherkin where no gherkin should be.
21:57Turns out even nice guys have a little fire in them. Wait a minute, nice boys don't kiss like
22:04that. Oh yes they do. Oof, did someone just turn up the heat in here? Number two, just as you are,
22:12Bridget Jones's diary. This is Natasha Glenville and Mark Darcy. Hi there. Hello. It's been pointed
22:20out before that in many ways Bridget Jones is a modern subverted retelling of Pride and Prejudice
22:25and yeah casting Colin Firth as Darcy was a bit of a giveaway. Mr. Darcy. No time is that more
22:32apparent than in this scene, a mirror of Fitzwilliam Darcy's profession of love for Elizabeth Bennett.
22:37However where Fitzwilliam Darcy is belittling despite his efforts to be honest, Mark Darcy
22:43is simply honest, setting up one of the sweetest scenes in the series. I very much enjoyed your
22:48Lewisham fire report by the way. Thank you. After Bridget is for once frank about who she is,
22:56Mark is in turn upfront with her. Love and attraction means you stop seeing perks and
23:01flaws and start seeing whole people just as they are. I like you very much. Apart from the smoking
23:10and the drinking and the vulgar mother and the verbal diarrhea. No, I like you very much
23:15just as you are. Before we continue be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to

23:32notifications. Number one. It's raining blows. Bridget Jones's diary. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
23:39I'm obviously interrupting.
23:44Darcy. After Daniel crashes Bridget's dinner party, Mark decides to leave rather than make
23:49a scene and then thinks better of it. This time he is going to fight for the woman he loves,
23:54sort of. Oh bloody hell, wait a minute, he's back. All right Cleaver, outside. It's not quite pistols
24:00at dawn. In fact, it's hard to compare it to anything. I should have done this years ago.
24:05Done what? This.
24:10Made that hurt. Both men, despite a gallant start, are as ineffectual as two sleepy toddlers
24:16wrestling over the last piece of candy. Oh god, I'm sorry. I really am sorry. I will pay. Enough
24:22Darcy. Not quite, if that's all right by you. And that's what makes it so amazing. All noble
24:28grandstanding and roguish charm is tossed to the gutter as both men, both way out of their depths,
24:34make weak attempts to best the other. It is impossible not to watch the scene without
24:38cracking up. Much to our delight, they went for another round in the sequel.
24:43If you're so obsessed with Bridget Jones, why don't you just marry her?
24:49Because then she'd definitely shag me.
24:59What's your favorite Bridget Jones moment? Let us know in the comments.
25:03I said I love you, for god's sake.
