Christina Applegate channels her inner Meryl Streep in a Funny or Die video. She destroys Streep's iconic roles in the faux trailer for a so-called "Meryl: The Lifetime Biopic", ultimately makes fun of the network's unauthorized biopic game which repeatedly got lukewarm responses.

"Critics agree, Christina was the wrong choice to play Meryl. Honestly, it's like she's not even trying," a voiceover says as Applegate recreates Streep's role as a fashion editor in "The Devil Wears Prada", imitates her stellar performance in "Julie & Julia", and does a horrible Margaret Thatcher impression for "The Iron Lady".

The trailer also promises an access into Streep's secret and personal life including her rant when someone jokes that she, a 19-time Oscar nominee, hasn't been nominated for any award. "Honestly we kinda struggled to find dirt on Meryl, so we made things up," the narrator says.

"Forgive me Meryl," Christina Applegate wrote on Twitter. "All for love."
