Awkward.

Tarlov's breakthrough role was as mean girl Sadie Saxton[7][8] in the MTV original series, Awkward, that debuted in 2011.[9] Tarlov's character was notable for her intense dislike of the main character, Jenna, played by Ashley Rickards, and for her complex struggles with weight and her own neuroses and insecurities.[10][11][12][13] Sadie was also noteworthy for nasty putdowns that were followed by her signature, "You're Welcome!" on topics from bulimia, being gay, and appropriate behavior.[14][15] The character inspired Twitter feeds and GIFs.[16]
