Look, ladies. We might _want_ to be scientists or generally do science things but we’re simply not mentally or physically equipped for it. Luckily, though, comedian and _Parks and Recreation_ writer Megan Amram is out with a new book next month, _Science…For Her!_, to make science easier for females to digest.

To promote the book, which is basically a _Cosmpolitan_\-style guide to lady-friendly science, Amram enlisted fellow funny-people Nick Offerman, Rich Fulcher and Steve Agee to star this this parody video, “‘Let’s Get Physics Y’all.” As you can probably imagine, it’s completely ridiculous and weird and totally hilarious.

Still, though, this will always be our favorite “Physical” parody:
