How could I resist leading off with this photo? It’s like a combination photobomb and that scene from Sound of Music where the kids pop out to say cuckoo from behind each other. Please, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, don’t be having any marital problems anytime soon, okay? THINK OF THE CHILDREN. And by that I mean your children and also our childlike sense of need for at least ONE couple in this freaking town to be real and/or make it.

A book, huh? Is it just stuff you already put on the Web site?
Nope, we wrote the whole thing fresh, just for you.
Awesome. In that case, I want to read it!

It’s pretty blah for me. The color isn’t flattering on her and neither is the shape. It’s not terrible, but she could probably do better.
the pun our dear writer stopped short of making made me reflect that that would be the sort of pun any Arrested Development star would’ve been proud of. sniff.
Am I being dense? What pun? I am too tired to think.
so sorry to have left you hanging! The last lines of the caption to photo # 3: And that’s good. It does look like she sort of enjoyed wearing it, like, “Hey, nice, I get to do that Tyra pose where she puts her chin on her shoulder.” Except originally I typed “puts her shin on her shoulder,” which is a whole different ball of wax indeed. Possibly literally, as a waxer might be one of the only people outside a bedroom who would ever see that position. ANYWAY. Let’s climb out of this… shoot, I can’t finish that sentence without a double-entendre. Just vote.
I had the exact same thoughts where their marriage is concerned.
Not very flattering but somehow I don’t hate it.
So nice to see someone in a dress without tattoos all over the place! Love her and love them.
It’s not the best dress of the night, but she looks beautiful, appropriate, elegant, radiant and very feminine! Leslie Knope For City Council!!! FAB for Amy!
I wish it had less sleeves. Or more sleeves. Or, at minimum, sleeves which did not appear to be badly hemmed.
I think she looks radiant in the face/hair, and the color is pretty, the sleeves just need some work- maybe a cap sleeve, or even just an inch or so shorter would help. The current length adds a matronly vibe that she doesn’t need.
Jeremy Irons for soothing voice!
Oh, are other people talking about the dress?
I nominate Liev Schreiber!
My vote would go to Cumberbatch.
THE CUMBERBATCH.
I feel like there had to be a slightly different cut that would flatter her torso more, but I still like this overall. I think her hair looks particularly great.
Does anyone else think they can see her belly button? The color and cut could have been more flattering. I like the back.
I see her belly button too.
Belly button and, I fear, granny pants.
Yeah, belly button, definitely. Why is the second shot so much better than the first shot. What’s with the bad lighting, Globes? ANYWAY. I would WANT Rosie Perez and Mark Wahlberg. I actually want them to narrate my life now. Every day. Or Ralph Fiennes. Either way.
The light seems to be catching on both her bust and stomach areas. I’m not so sure you want those two areas equally emphasized.
I really liked this dress on her. It has a nice 1930s vibe to it, and can’t you just see Amy Poehler in a old-school screwball comedy?
Absolutely. A great idea — put her in a remake of a Carole Lombard movie and I am there.
I don’t like it at all, the cut and color are unflattering, and you can see the lining bunching up underneath.
I think it’s a little blah but didn’t she have a baby recently – so I can imagine she doesn’t want anything skin tight. Love the detail on the back. I think a green or a blue would have been awesome. how can she not want to turn and belt him for making all those faces?!
the dress is nice, but will arnett photobombing every shot? THAT’S adorable.
Can I put my shins on HIS shoulders? *ahem*
Yes, I can see her navel outline, and the lining has either bunched up or has built in bands at the midriff and panty lines. It’s these backless dresses that call for more strategic and creative deployment of foundation garments.
It’s awful. Just awful.
There’s something about Ryan Gosling’s voice, not to mention the obvious.
Love Amy and Will.
It’s see-through. The color is awful. The cut is unflattering. The bling down the middle is SUPER unflattering. NO.
It reminds me of that equally as unflattering mess that Julianna Margulies wore, only in blah color too. NOT GOOD
Looking at these pictures, I’m willing to bet Will was constantly whispering stuff in her ear and trying to make her laugh while her photo was being taken. I’m imagining, like, Arrested Development quotes or something much funnier that I can’t think of because I’m not Will Arnett.
Anyway, love them both, therefore I kind of love whatever they wear.
Exactly. I’d love to know what he’s saying in that third picture that’s making her laugh. You could make a Friday Fug contest out of captioning that…
You know who has a surprisingly soothing voice? Tim Allen. He narrates these commercials for the Pure Michigan campaign to get people to want to vacation there. I do not, but his voice goes along with the theme amazingly well. To wit:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWzJFiAbi98&feature=relmfu
Also, that dress is fug. Frumpy as hell. More suited to Angela Lansbury. And I’m sick of pale women always wearing pale colors or metallics that are not terribly far off of their skin tone. They look like they are dying of consumption like Ruby Gillis.
Yes, Buzz Lightyear is a good choice for voice, but I go with Dr. Wayne Dyer. Must be something in the water up there makes them Michiganders so easy listening.
A la Amy’s co-star, I have “lit-trally” been re-reading the whole Anne of Green Gables series this week (Pacific NW snow storm has shut down my community, no work or school; I’m up to book 7 today) so I loved this comment even more than I normally would have.
My favorite Fug post this year was when the girls pointed out that Kate Middleton’s outfit when she was visiting PEI was an homage to Anne Shirley. http://gofugyourself.com/mostly-well-played-wills-and-kates-canadian-adventure-07-2011/duke-and-duchess-of-cambridge-canada-tour
I was all set to vote for Will as the best voice, but then you wrote Alan Rickman, and obviously Alan Rickman wins. At everything! Sorry, Will–you can be my backup soothing voice.
And while I don’t think the dress is perfect, I still really like it on her. Plus, they’re really cute together, and who wants to vote against that?
On the voice: Hello people – Sam Elliot. He even beats out Rickman. I know, I know, hard call but it’s the truth. Look in your heart, you know I’m right…
For the pics: I love how in the last one Will is back there giving one of those “oh yeah, that’s my woman” nods. Cute & funny. Love them both that I can’t hate the dress.
Oh yes! Sam Elliot!!
Or um, Sean Connery
You want to talk voices, how about Jeremy Irons and Liam Neeson. Those are voices!
I like her, but I don’t like this dress at all. I did a quick image search for Amy and she looked one million times better in any dress that had a color. This dress is no good for her.
my choices would be
1. The Cumberbatch
2. Alan Rickman
3. Dustin Hoffman
I would put Liam Neeson at the top, but him voicing Aslan kind of took the dirty-sexy vibe out of it for me
also, are women allowed on the list? if so, Angelina Jolie goes at the top of mine! her voice is like rough velvet. Followed by Michelle Yeoh.
…..dress? what dress?
Ladies, for your consideration: Alan Rickman reciting My Mistress’s Eyes Are Nothing Like The Sun. Bewitching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP06F0yynic
Thank you, thank you for this link. Now I have a new word: Alangasam.
My pleasure.
I read that as “analgasm,” which seems like a very different thing. Apparently I still need coffee.
Dustin Hoffman?? I find his voice super irritating!
Alan Rickman all the way. He is the person who came to mind immediately when you mentioned a soothing voice contest. I would pay an obscene amount of money for an Alan Rickman voiced GPS. It could say things like “Please drive to route three hundred and ninety four,” or “How very like your father you are, he would have missed the exit too,” or “This is the second time you’ve taken an alternate route, Ms. Granger. Tell me, are you incapable of restraining yourself, or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?”
Oh my god, I so want that GPS now!!
I would pay all the gold in Gringott’s for that GPS system!
Yes, please!!!
I think I’d have a latino man like Antonio Banderas or Miguel Bosè narrate my life; or maybe a woman with a soothing melodic voice like Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Katie Holmes or Kat Dennings! Hmmmmmm, I enjoy thinking about this!
Amy is my hero– she’s hilarious, super smart, seems genuinely cool in person and she’s also really pretty (see “Baby Mama,” surprisingly beautiful and youthful in that), but she has weird taste in formal wear. She always seems to pick unflattering dresses, and this one makes her look kind of older and lumpy. Any gown that shows off your bellybutton is a no-go. I want to see her in a rich green or raspberry; something that gives her a waist and more structure.
As for the soothing voice competition, Will is a good pick, but I’d have to go with Matthew MacFadyen (MR. FREAKING DARCY.)
David Strathairn.
Billy Bob Thornton.
(The baritone I live with, actually, but y’all wouldn’t know about that.)
This dress falls just over the frumpy side for me, but I do love the shoulders!
I love Amy and everything she does, and agree that her hair and face look fantastic here. I do like the back of the gown, but overall it’s not the most flattering choice – I agree with Kalli’s comment that Amy has weird taste in formal wear, especially lately, and would definitely like to see her in a colour – she’d look fantastic in blue or green – like the dress she wore right after she gave birth to her first son. Hopefully she’ll get rid of whichever stylist is taking her down the frumpsville road, because she’s awesome and deserves to look awesome at all times.
I think if there wasn’t a seam from the neck down in the center, but if there was a “V” under her breast area with the seam falling from that it would look better.
I really love the back of this and her smaile make it work better than it should.
Yes, Daisy! The seam from the neck narrows her shoulders (and widens the rest). She looks beautiful still! Love them!
Agree with Daisy … the back is great the front not so much.
I can’t get over the sequined (?) line going down the front of the dress, dissecting her bellybutton. NO! It’s horrible. The back is nice though.
I meant seam, not line.
And another thing: she obviously has a little bit of a stomach– considering she had her second baby not too long ago, this is kind of refreshing considering all the other celebrities who get their abs back two months later– so maybe the seam was a way to deflect from that, but I think there are a lot of flattering dresses out there that can hide that problem better. Rouching, draping, etc.
This dress was fine – a little frumpy from the front, but great from the back, but can we talk about her dress at the Betty White tribute? Her whole look that night was ah-mazing!
Poor lady has no waist. Which is fine — lots of people don’t, whether it’s the way their bodies are made or the way they look after giving birth or whatever. But there are piles and piles of dresses out there in the world that can make a lady LOOK like she has a waist. Amy Poehler needs one of those.
Please please PLEASE make that telethon happen… The universe needs it.
I quite like this. I would like it if she’d go with a bit more color and tone down the blond hair, but she looks fine. On SNL when she would wear a wig with a darker blond for some skit, I thought she looked better, less washed out and prettier skin tone, but JMO.
The dress is mostly horrible. She looks like somebody carved her open and then stitched her back up. The back of the dress is somewhat better, but if you need a belt to hold it together, the cut-out is too wide or the fabric is wrong.
As for sexy voices, man this is gonna be a fun competition. Can we do it like Fug Madness, with seedings and everything? Rickman, Neeson, and Elliot are all probably gonna get first-round byes. They do just make you want to shed your unmentionables, don’t they? My nominees would be Ioan Gruffudd, especially when using his own accent, or even better, speaking Welsh; and Richard Armitage, who can be heard on The Hobbit trailer.
What Daffodil and Mahastee said. I wish she’d defined her waist, that it fit better, maybe that it were a color. Wouldn’t she look fabulous in a hot pink with her coloring? I like the back but this is a big ALMOST to me.
Well, clearly Alec Baldwin has to be invited, so he and Will can have a talking like this contest
I nominate Clancy Brown and George Takei! As for the dress, I agree with Olivia that a cap sleeve would be a positive change. I’d also like to see it with a little more structure in the bodice.
Wow, totally forgot about Clancy. Love his voice too!
Horrifying. As usual.
She has really poor taste in clothes, and evidently absolutely no sense of what she actually looks like — because if she did, then she would NOT leave the house in stuff like this, which she does on a regular basis.
Girl needs a stylist, yesterday.
I agree with some commenters- color could be better, neckline could be better. But the back won me over. And she just had a kid within the last year. And she is Amy Poehler. So I can cut her a break.
But! The reason I am writing is to say I had no idea how soothing Ringo Starr’s voice was until my son had a Thomas the Tank Engine DVD. I would love to see him in the voice-off.
Maybe we should just split the difference on the voice-off and go for “Cumberbatch impersonating Rickman”.
