i'm obsessed with how she's created an aura around herself that makes people expect insanity from her at any given moment. you go, aubrey!

[@mackymintle7806]

Did she create it, or will we all be reading a sad story in 5 years? 😢 Crispen Glover had a similar art project going in the 80’s😅

[@glenneric1]

It's her googly eyes and straight face

[@RaneBoDasch]

Plus she always has that look on her face like she's about 2 seconds from kicking ass. I'm waiting for the day it actually happens 😂

[@DonVideoGuy007]

To me; Aubrey has always been - "crazy sexy"... 😁

[@audreyyyhappened6831]

This is really well put, brava

[@Bene_Gesserit]

It's criminal how underrated and unrecognized Aubrey's acting versatility is in the industry. How she switches from comedy to horror to drama like a chameleon is worthy of an award in my opinion. Not that she needs one for validity. She deserves it.

[@brianmcmanus4690]

Her boobs are also underrated.

[@jhegre]

Sorry to disagree, but I always saw her as a one shtick pony.

[@stupidass3791]

She makes my no-no parts feel funny.

[@stefanschleps8758]

Maybe that's because how she works with the directors?

[@midknight]

Check her out in criminal minds. She was brilliant!

[@guyfaulkes3035]

Aubrey has enough magnetic charisma for 3 people. And enough talent for 5. A treasure.

[@shawnmosleh2363]

Tell it

[@vincentdagenais4966]

she never seems to be able to be serious , i dont like that

[@tyreldor4942]

too bad cobert has none

[@Chuck-e7d]

I normally only watch monologues of late nite t.v. shows,but I never pass up Aubrey Plaza interviews. She is the best of the best.

[@luns486]

Me too. So excited when he said she was on. Love her.

[@IcyMidnight]

Best late night guest in the history of television.

[@number1authority]

same. literally never watch the interviews, but i couldn't resist visiting the plaza. she was almost putting me off a bit for a while but she completely killed it in the last minute or two and made the entire thing a typical aubrey plaza work of genius. lover her.

[@carriemae6584]

Do you remember when Aubrey was in a story arch of Criminal Minds, where her psychopathic character subtly harassed Matthew Gray Gubler's character? Scary! Until recently I thought that was the only type of roll Aubrey played.

[@jamesaita]

Same.

[@mstandenberg1421]

I enjoy how her mild yet straight-forward sociopathy is humorous.

[@AtypicalAdventurer]

Aubrey is not a sociopath in any way... she is extremely kind-natured and empathic. She is quirky, and has an atypical personality which she isn't afraid to show.. but she is not a sociopath. Although if that comment was just a joke, then you can disregard this reply.

[@Isaiahalba]

@@AtypicalAdventurer she’s callous and doesn’t seem to care between right and wrong, just that she gets her satisfaction. Especially when she talks about her character taking Ethan’s money. Harper was the one that actually went further than Ethen. Everything he did after was justified

[@mikekillagreen9432]

Perfect description

[@dyscotopia]

At first I felt like Aubrey was going to try to do a normal interview to match her normal role, and it felt super awkward, but then the baker story set everything back right with the world

[@thewayithappens469]

Literally 😭

[@Spitsonyou]

I love Aubreys interviews she always seems so nervous and trying so hard to keep it together and not let her crazy out. She's just so interesting.

[@JosephSullivan-ix3lj]

She is super smart and she knows exactly what she's doing ,she has built up a persona as being nervous and weird bur there is a method to her madness. I love her ❤

[@brandonday2494]

I love this person so much. Really glad she's finally getting recognition as a great dramatic actress. Emily the Criminal and Black Bear were both brilliant performances.

[@mickware5289]

Thing I really liked about Emily the Criminal is how they didn't glorify her as a criminal as movies do with nearly 100% of female criminals. She was honestly a bad person. Great job.

[@brandonday2494]

@@mickware5289 Yep, she had her reasons, but deep down she really was just cut out to be a criminal.

[@Thegbear]

That internship scene is the most cathartic fucking thing, I’ve rewatched it again and again.

[@lifeorthogonal5087]

You should see her in the Wedding Dates movie. Hilarious and clever!

[@thewhitbyphotographer]

You could just watch her forever. Aubrey being herself is probably as good if not better than her movie roles, which are totally awesome too.

[@KrakenIsland64]

I cant even explain why I was laughing hysterically through the cookie vendetta.

[@lolawants2008]

Because you could perfectly picture it :)

[@joefriedman9843]

The Cookie Vendetta sounds like what that Seinfeld episode would be called too haha

[@SilentKnight43]

I see Aubrey as a guest on anything - I click. Love her quirkiness, charm and quick wit.

[@christianhackl474]

My girlfriend kinda looks like Aubrey Plaza, those brown eyes and brown hair etc etc. I just realized that haha after 2 years relationship :D

[@YouGuessIGuess]

Aubrey has become one of those actors that draw me to check out projects. If she's in something it's usually interesting.

[@mojitomol4131]

*always interesting ❤

[@sandymileski5486]

Aubrey is authentic and true to her quirkiness.

[@condo0073]

The pistachio cookie story is hilarious 🤣🤣👍 she's so dead pan funny. Love her character and performance in White Lotus. Oh and she's amazing in Emily the criminal 👍

[@jacket9067]

It’s hard to explain her irresistible aura. If there EVER was a sexy woman, SHE IS! I believe her acting is just the way she lives her life. She is amazing and my favorite actress by far!

Aubrey Plaza, living proof that the Addams family doesn't have to be fiction. It IS possible to be that much of a gift to the world 👻

[@Synathidy]

I enjoy the sometimes awkward, sometimes charming, sometimes creepy vibe she puts out. It's unique and interesting. LOL.

[@maydavalle]

🖤

[@Yo-cr9ol]

this is such a nice thing to say :)

[@blacklabworld]

Holy fuck, never thought of that. Why wasn’t she in the Addams family?????????

[@bluemalibu]

I love Aubrey! She's funny, twisted, smart and beautiful. I enjoy watching her.

[@benwu7980]

It's wonderful to see that after almost 20 years of me knowing her ( in a celeb sense) in talk shows and tv/movies, that she has never changed. Her roles have in recent years taken her to further heights in a more serious role, but she's never changed. Also, bring out Operation Fortune already.

[@jamesoliver6606]

One of a Kind !! You got to love her ,So quick witted and so much fun ,To see what she does next, in a moments time. Just Captivating to see her , anywhere she goes...

[@8__mario]

She’s so down to earth and effortlessly funny! Everything she does lately is amazing, she better keep that momentum going! She’s on everyone’s lips, everyone adores her!

[@h20luli]

[@navyryder]

[@markeemark85]

She's the real star in The White Lotus great actress

[@Reciprocity_Soils]

Saw Aubrey's name on the thumbnail and tuned in to bask in the smiles, laughs, and overall good time. She's great. Her giggle teeters between "I'm being honest here" and "One more nudge and we're visiting the other side." ha

Still the most beautiful woman to ever appear on television. I was blown away by her the very first time I saw her and her appeal has only increased over time.
