[@colmastro4373]

It's been years and I STILL can't tell if her personality is a persona or if she's truly insane 😂

[@nonid5627]

I think she’s got a weird streak, but she puts it on in most interviews. She seems more herself when she was talking to Drew Barrymore:)

[@user-eh2ty4mv3e]

I feel like her shtick is played out. It was funny 15 years ago when she came out or whatever.

[@bryancarson5908]

@@user-eh2ty4mv3e well she also does it WAY less than 15 years ago. You can clearly see the difference in intensity so this is just her but the mature version

[@carrisagrace1]

Pretty sure it’s real, she came to hang in one of my acting classes. She has that vibe IRL . Loves it

[@luisoquendo8775]

she's truly insane

[@alessiobracco4357]

she is single-handedly the most frightening, gorgeous, and hilarious person to ever exist.

[@gmasterg13]

What a great observation of her character. She's a combination of Lady Gaga, Jennifer Tilly, and a possessed Marionette. Love it.

[@kevinyountrevzupak8686]

Eh...dime a dozen...but still ok...lucky is what she is

[@ekko808]

@@kevinyountrevzupak8686 yeah she was lucky to stumble her way through a 15 year career on TV and film where, even though she's just like everyone else, they keep putting her in projects and giving her a lot of money. Idiot.

[@romanandrew9176]

She’s so real and unapologetic lol love it

[@mariepanimdim4303]

my coworkers told me that I remind them of Aubrey.... because I'm a combo of funny weird scary and spice~ I'll take that to the bank any day 😉

[@miroslavassiniavskis7725]

It's so inspirational to see how a comedian shapers herself into a universal actress who is able to do any role in the highest expectations

[@matte1649]

Mind blown

[@kashifilyas1340]

Exactly what I was thinking. Very happy for her.

Makes up for a lack of personality / intelligence

[@pitchen]

@@gottalovetheinternet "Her big personality makes up for a lack of personality" That's how you sound.

I know, isn’t she dreammyyyyy🤩😍

[@_TheDudeAbides_]

@@gottalovetheinternet Of course not. If you were intelligent, you would know it does not.

[@15Candles]

Emily The Criminal is one of 2022's most overlooked movie. Aubrey Plaza gave the best performance of her career in that movie. If you haven't seen it, you should, it's absolutely great. I wish there was a better studio to market that movie

[@donnywilliamson5807]

It was great. It should have ended with an FBI Agent named Burt Macklin catching and arresting her.

[@mistertrackk]

agreed

[@ekko808]

It was a really good, tightly produced movie. I hope Aubrey is around for a long time-there's no one like her.

[@Judexxxxxjjjjj]

It’s not on Netflix in a lot of regions for some reason

[@mohammedalgthamy9563]

You should also watch Black Bear because she was terrific in that film, too

[@raymuniz113]

She’s such a great actress. I love Aubrey big time.

[@XYang-jg6wu]

She's ok.

[@graarg]

Aubrey Plaza is such an enigma and truly one of a kind. I recently discovered her work and just can’t get enough of watching her interviews. I think what fascinates me is she breaks all social conventions especially for a celebrity…she’s anxious, confident, awkward but hilarious all at once. You never know what she’s thinking and what’s real or not

[@TJ-jl6wc]

Totes AGREE!! @graarg !!!! 🎉🎉

[@65thhitman86]

Thanks for stating the obvious

[@XZ858XZ]

“Anxious, confident, awkward but hilarious….” This is a great way to sum her up 😂

[@gmasterg13]

The energy in her eyes. Frighteningly beautiful.

[@GokulOnFire]

She doesn't have energy in her eyes. That's one of her traits that serves her characters well.

[@gmasterg13]

@@GokulOnFire Sorry you don't see it. Other commenters can pick it up too. Oh well.

[@peekaboots01]

@@GokulOnFire I agree. Her eyes look flat to me.

[@GokulOnFire]

@@gmasterg13 I know I'm shocked. Her entire appeal is her RBF, those dead eyes & sultry voice and 70 people has liked your comment which isn't factually correct but also not what we Aubrey Plaza connoisseurs like about her.

[@gmasterg13]

@@GokulOnFire No. You're wrong. Flat. Dead eyes Please. You could start a generator with those electric eyes. You say your a connoisseur. Well your looking but not really seeing. Factually correct. I am correct. Watch her go in and out of that look. You can even see it from her profile. And yes she's acting wonderfully childish and funny playing off of Jimmy. It's great.

[@superstygian3751]

The immortal Aubrey Plaza is glowing at 38

[@doodletownpipers]

woman who is 38=immortal

[@mariepanimdim4303]

I just discovered Aubrey in parks & recreation. I can't wait to watch her in any show from now on~ congrats to her on her success 👌

[@lexsea]

only Conan and (weirdly) David letterman can properly interview her. they truly get her awkwardness and humor and make it gold. wish one of them were still going so we could get another gold interview from her

[@timbell6870]

So true....great point!

[@grassfedcharlie]

Conan 🧡 miss him

[@stephen1896]

Conan has an expansive podcast with lots of content and recently his own Sirius XM channel. There's absolutely a good chance to see him interview her again, and on camera. They record video for most of their content.

[@rootsradical]

She was on Conan's podcast recently and it was exactly what you would hope for.

[@mariabuglione8122]

Actually would like to see her interviewed by Howard Stern

[@symphonybarnes]

absolutely one of the most underrated actresses out there! she killed it in twl and emily the criminal and deserves the praise and accolades!! her facial expression at 2:58 looks so genuine and sweet, in taking it in here. would be awesome to see her get an oscar in the near future!

[@samara.ariel.jpg_]

hollywood i feel like finally is getting aubreys whole career and things shes done is masterful. i can understand now looking back even 5 years ago ppl not understanding her. Her fans have always related to her and knew her. Aubrey in white lotus was amazing and her straight on acting was brilliant. she can do it all and i feel like now that she has more agency and movie cred she will do it all! you're absolutely a huge inspiration but also i relate to aubrey so much. would be a dream to work with aubrey in any capacity i feel like she understands me

[@crazycatches1140]

she was sooo funny on parks and rec

[@delmyelias467]

I am so happy they keep promoting Emily The Criminal! It's soo good!

[@jimmynoir]

I’ve noticed that Aubrey’s been serving some real sartorial savvy lately. Her outfits are always on point.

[@catherinecampbell1215]

I think because she has been spending so much time in Italy, the style is rubbing off on her.

[@lethewards]

I assume the more popular the celebrity the more access they have to the best stylists, and brands offering clothing… whoever she is with right now is having a blast dressing her.

[@heynowls3058]

Emily the criminal was one of my fav movies of the year. Well done.

[@anne8511]

I’m a long time fan of Aubrey Plaza and I’m very happy for her success! Not having guns in Emily the Criminal made it even more thrilling. It was more real and less predictable. When guns start firing I usually take a bathroom break.

[@visionbishop9517]

This woman hits all the buttons. I cant even explain why. She's magnetic

[@curtistignor3966]

Love that more people are seeing how awesome see is. She deserves success

[@Daniel-mh9xr]

Jimmy is such a great host that he managed to get in at least twice the speaking time of Aubrey

[@kbanghart]

Try to cope with his style, if possible.

[@oppositeofh8]

halfway through ETC, it hit me -- the absence of guns. it made it even more suspenseful & creative. loved that movie. & love AP! she was outstanding in ETC.

One of the things I love about Severance is its thrilling without a single gunshot the whole season. I wish there was more thrillers that took this approach. Thankful that this movie does.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Annnnnd, they play a clip featuring John Billingsley, who's been in so many films and TV shows, always as a support or secondary character, fabulous to see him in mainstream and gives Ms Plaza an experienced opposite to play against.

Loved Emily the criminal. I honestly thought she was from Jersey her accent in that movie was great. I did not expect her to sit down and sound like this lol. *Also had no idea that 1 she produced it!! What amazing talent. 2 she didn't use guns in the entire movie (but that stun gun hillbilly take down was amazing on her part).

[@divagirl10]

I became a big fan after that Netflix movie she was in Emily, the criminal Wow. She was amazing in it

[@AlexAnder-ut9es]

I perk up anytime I hear a project with her in it. Why does she inspire us to root hard for her like she's a student trying to make it big instead of an already successful star? That is star quality.

[@GwaiZai]

Hmm maybe because she's always in the driver seat of good movies? She picks indies with great stories. And she's awkward/quirky which humanises her much more than the modern day perfect actors (who are boring). We don't have many like her these days.

Emily the Criminal was so smart and nuanced. It is so difficult to capture the inner strength of the character without making it insultingly obvious or obscuring and hidden. Everyone had the same vision. I was really a fan of Aubrey (not really on a first name basis…lol) as a producer. I really am looking forward to future projects she will produce.
