Only because she looks like that. If she was 200 pounds, most people would never get to appreciate her personality.

[@rottensquid]

The woman has turned crippling social anxiety into a goldmine. I was listening to her on the Mike Birbiglia podcast, and she said she goes out there and her mind turns into loud static, and this is what comes out of her mouth.

[@thecount1001]

you may be right. but i think she's actually quite bright and understands performance. she is an accomplished actress after all. she can channel her nature to her advantage. and then there's her looks and sexual energy, which is potent.

[@astrammd]

[@A-Milkdromeda-Laniakea-Hominid]

It works because she's so easy on the eyes. If you're going to be crippled with social anxiety, do it with a pretty smile and a tight body.

People saying she’s weird, but all I’m seeing is how most normal (smart and funny, but normal) people would act if they were on a talkshow. We’re so used to the _abnormal_, the unrealistically quick wit and acted out dialogue, that we think this is weird. Aubrey is not weird. She is just real.

[@ctvxl]

You hit it on the head. It is her realness that really sets her apart. She is successful, talented, funny, and beautiful, but despite all of that, she is real. And that is extremely rare in that business.

Aubrey only sounds weird, because that is what being honest sounds like. Most people are so used to lying, deceit, bullshit, and insincerity all the time that someone being real is off-putting.

[@davidgreff2799]

Did you watch the clip? She doesn’t know how to be normal and is in therapy.

[@reckone1999_1]

actually she said "no, I'm a total people pleaser and it's something I'm dealing with in therapy" which means that she has a high degree of agreeableness and is likely undergoing assertiveness training. She has a problem with buying into the whole "im a star" persona, which she views as fake and makes her anxious, so to combat that she stays present in the moment and uses humor so as to not take herself so seriously. Which is a recipe for being a more authentic human being

[@rjathar]

That deadpan expression and monotone... While saying something outrageous... And still being attractive thru it all... So unique

[@kurtsnyder4752]

She's a crazy hot mess. Reminds me of that FarSide comic which had examples of how Nature says "stay away."

[@straycatttt2766]

An awards show actually paired Aubrey Plaza with Jenna Ortega for a morbid bit and it was great.

[@rjathar]

@@straycatttt2766 I do recall that! Think the only reason she doesn't get called on more is because organizers are probably deathly afraid of what she might say... 😆

[@MikeinAustin]

Her timing is immaculate. I don’t think she actually makes anyone uncomfortable. She is just anti-swarmy. She is so honest that she’s open to being funny by being slightly difficult. Of course she would hate a bunch of fake people pretending to act like they know everything.

[@ThisIsMikeBlum]

Her timing is impeccable, but it isn’t immaculate.

[@rjwiechman]

Interviewing Aubrey reminds me of the old saying, "Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it."

[@rmhartman]

He didn't know what he was unleashing when he gave her the cat ears.

[@seacprogrammer8455]

Personally seeing the wheels turn in her head as she contemplated how far she'd take that cat ears prop was deep ! , Like the pause at the water dish like maybe he was gonna wear it for putting it down like that in front of her. Borderline scary... but then she went with it ,,, perhaps scarier. She does plenty of those moments like, I could should stab you for that stupidness you just spewed but, naw I'm gonna say some off the wall shit and see how you react. Its actually not that revolutionary for plenty of us that live like that , constant sarcasm at the insanity presented .. just roll with it. She does it to the extreme, even she admits it is because she's un comfortable . Makes sense ..

[@tegami2013]

And for all these reasons she’d be an amazing cat woman!

He knew exactly what was going on

[@christiangasior4244]

Dude that was sexy

[@eeeezypeezy]

Stephen Colbert talks frequently about how much he loves being put in awkward situations and trying to work with them or work his way out of them, so Aubrey Plaza as a guest on his show is a match made in heaven

[@renaeshelle8835]

I actually think he reacted the very best of the hosts! He just went with her & didn’t seem irritated like some

[@ChesterRGC]

Really? To me 5:50 it hurt this part where he challenges her "secret" instead of playing along, and saying she "looks dangerous" 9:50 and this part where he insisted to care about her favourite pet But I gotta admit the cat ears part is the best thing she ever did in a talk show..

[@productdesign9626]

[@tietosanakirja]

She'd be right at home in Finland 😂 Awkward silence? What do you mean, awkward?

[@etiennebrownlee4071]

Stephen Colbert is very intelligent and can handle conversations no matter where they lead to, and it looks like Aubrey seemed more relaxed in his show based on her body language, more than with other talk shows where the hosts just talk around scripted questions and obviously doesnt know what to do when Aubrey does something out of the topic..

[@camilasoledaddelaserna6107]

He also did improv for a long while.

[@renaeshelle8835]

I totally agree! The others often seem irritated, but he just rolls with it & his sincerity and willingness to just have a different conversation takes away the tension.

[@tryptamine-loopring-eth]

I see what you’re saying but it’s dead obvious after that last clip lol

[@zedre7633]

It just seems like she doesn't think at all in these interviews and says the first thing on her mind instantly, because it's fun to see where that goes.

[@ahthisisgood]

I love the way she can throw someone off their game with a simple funny comment.

[@grntchstrmdws]

When she appeared on Parks and Recreation her scenes were generally short and few. I always thought "Why aren't they writing more scenes for her? She's so good!" I'm glad she finally broke through.

[@Stefan-ht3tv]

Most comics can't think of the stuff Aubrey just lets roll out of her mouth. Amazing persona. The fact that she's 'drop dead' gorgeous is an added bonus.
