Just Frankie progressively getting goofy | Community

I love that the more time Frankie spends around Greendale, and the study group, the wackier her personality becomes. Paget Brewster was a great addition to the final season.

They really did just Britta-ed her. She was originally a super serious, no jokes, self important, firm in her beliefs, unliked outsider into just a zany go with the flow member of the greendale 7. But she really was one of the best character they introduced. Shame she wasn't introduced earlier when Troy was around

People often overlook the IT Lady scene about the e-mails getting bounced back in Aramaic, and when Frankie calls, all she gets is a weird tone that makes her nose bleed. It's because they're both played by Paget Brewster 😂

The monologue she gives Abed (the “Frankie loves quirky” section of this video) is sooo good and SUCH a good way to explain how her character will fit into this show.

I also think it's a good way to contrast her deliberately abrasive and condescending introduction to the rest of the group and give her enough nuance to be embraced later.
