Season 1 follows Miranda from the time she uploads her first video until one of her videos goes viral . The show co-stars Angela Kinsey as Bethany, Miranda's mother, Steve Little as Jim, Miranda's uncle, Francesca Reale as Emily, Miranda's sister, and Erik Stocklin as Patrick, Miranda's best friend .

Miranda uses spoonerisms and malapropisms, is irritable, ludicrously self - absorbed and self - righteous, socially awkward, and has a defiant, arrogant attitude . She responds to people who offer criticism with the catchphrase, "Haters back off!" </P>
