What happens when a comic genius parodies a highly popular, highly spoofable show? Only good things, as Tina Fey proved on this season’s premiere of “Saturday Night Live.”

If you think it’s funny, you’re in good company –Lena Dunham liked it, too. In a truly meta moment, actress Mindy Kaling tweeted a shot of pal Dunham taking in the show.

Mock her character’s uber self-involvment and baby clothing all you want, but you can’t say Dunham doesn’t have a sense of humor.
