'Parks & Rec' Star Aubrey Plaza Was An NBC Page | TODAY

[@Whippets]

"I like to lie, I get paid to lie, and it makes me happy". She's priceless.

[@momonina2927]

She treated them the same way April treated Tynnyfer lol

[@gabeux]

+Angela Bell LOL thank you! I thought the same thing and was trying to remember that moment. I cried of laughter when I watched it back then hahaha

[@TheProtege00]

Aubrey is the sole reason why i started watching Parks. I eventually grew to love just about everyone on the show, but shes still my all time favorite.

[@snowball7829]

same, I watched an April montage and was like I need to watch this show, but was sad to find it's not on Netlfix

[@wonderland03]

I think Aubrey handled this so well. These two women were difficult to listen to, and they were rude. Side note: I love how Aubrey started to do her valley girl voice (like in Parks and Rec) when the women were calling her "crazy".

[@El.dude97]

Those are clucking hens. Aubrey is the woman here.

[@SpaceMonkey616]

They weren't rude at all, they clearly liked her and she liked them, they were all just having fun.

[@ilovetati91]

do you struggle to read people

[@dannybattinieri5118]

She’s literally mocking them in front of their faces and they don’t even have a clue 😂

[@mgtowbooboo8530]

yep

[@cruzechevy3485]

They know how she talks they're just having fun

[@DylanKipMorris]

And I’m so here for it 😂

[@bobs182]

She mocks everything including herself. She knows that the world is ridiculous.

[@Havanorange]

they knew it and they loved it

[@flapotter]

they should treat her more respectfully as an actress

[@ETbarcelonafan101216]

I know right. Like when she said "so you are just playing yourself" and "I didn't want to watch this movie"

[@impracticalandres]

+ETbarcelonafan101216 I think it's just their dynamic with her, Aubrey seems to be a very easy going and I think she already has previously gotten along with these women well. They love her!

[@eosdelb]

She is too good.

[@brendantaylor3570]

The approach these women have to Aubrey is absurd and she exploits it without having to resort to being mean. Their approach is so condescending and overblown.

[@DarkHarvest666]

+Brendan Taylor I so agree!

[@rocren6246]

Their sound of voice makes one's head blown. It's like bomb bomb bang bang...😣

[@Havanorange]

they were all doing it purposely, to joke with each other

[@dmgmail7021]

Or they just really find her funny and Aubrey makes them channel their inner goofy side and they can't stop laughing but they also need to host show at the same time...Aubrey is the definition of a vibe

[@BigEnoughUmbrella]

These women are acting like aubrey is saying the most outrageous bananas stuff.

[@fridaymorning139]

BigEnoughUmbrella “oh my gosh you’re so weird!” Ugh

[@alicemeraviglia8863]

She's giving them the Tynnifer treatment! This is so cool... I'm in love.

[@macbookproearly2011]

Aubrey doesn't give a fuck, I love it! ha

[@eosdelb]

She is always the boss. Ask Robert Deniro. He was scared of her. I ain't scared. Bring it on bitch. I''ll fix your ass.

[@WinterlyHeights]

i will never get tired of this interview. even 8 years later

[@superreverbfreak]

She came so close to acting like she did on the episode of parks and rec "doppelgängers" when she got paired up with Tynnifer! I was so hoping she would have !

[@Poetic_Justice1962]

Aubrey rules every conversation and makes it interesting and hilarious. That's genius.

[@Louisiana1219]

I'm miss Parks and Rec so bad. Aubrey was amazing on it. April and Andy were my favorite.

[@0112dancer]

UGH SAMEEE

[@CorrectWord]

You can just tell Aubrey doesn't wanna be talking to them.

[@kurrygoat83]

I love this clip…. I have watched it a bunch of times… when Hoda said “your are so crazy” and Aubrey replies back “you are!” It’s so hilarious OMG 😆

[@pommeblossom]

She handles them really well. Even if she did get kicked out of the Page program, why would you make your whole "interview" an accusation session? They were just having fun, I know, but I feel like she did well in the given situation.

[@charlesleerae9023]

@3:15 Her face then +"I'm crazy"+ how she laughs because of what she just did at that moment = catastrophically amazing person.

[@adamromero]

Shes soooo attractive! Her smile is perfect.

[@meIatonin]

I like her gap in her teeth. It makes her look unique.

[@gnulen]

those two hosts are terrifying hell beasts.

[@levikiddd]

facts

[@ziper377]

They are the worst persons I've ever seen...... I bet she wants to travel the world with them

[@z0uLess]

+Andres M I wish I could unsee them forever

[@SlowMobius]

I love the reference.

[@DarthTurducken]

I understood that reference.

[@BrentWigginsWords]

Her awkwardness makes her interviews seem like interrogations. It's an interesting sense of humor nonetheless.

[@csgecko]

An interview with these two slags seems like more of a hostage situation.

[@PaulaKroll]

i love this girl so much omg

[@Poetic_Justice1962]

You know… we all loved each other… so much. Her timing and tone are comedy gold.

[@112233jjooee]

somebody put these women out of their misery

[@theycallmevitch]

Are those women drunk or

[@pogmofoil]

+Ivie Lee Almost always

[@sanjayrakshit8797]

+Ivie Lee That's Aubrey Plaza. That's inevitable

[@howerover]

+Ivie Lee two of them are.

[@theycallmevitch]

Sanjay Rakshit I didn't mean Aubrey haha

[@szkokee]

thats just the botox

[@hanatenorio7636]

did anyone else notice her doing the hair crunch thing she does when she’s nervous🥺

[@RcJoost]

3:12 - best reaction ever. I will remember this for my business meetings.

[@zebrahawk9329]

This feels like a Parks and Rec episode.

[@DaBase333]

What the heck? These two women keep dishing out insults and I don't know why. Aubrey is awesome!!!!

[@giveitupforgreggiraldo]

omg wtf rubber faced monsters

[@CauseSilenceIsHarder]

One of the best Aubrey Plaza interviews

[@brookeheartsbeauty1]

Aubrey looks beautiful! I miss Parks!

[@genevieve5480]

OMG, I love Aubrey Plaza!!! Ha. I love how she retaliated in this interview too, lol

[@juliemiller5196]

1:49 Is when she officially decides these women are crazy and decides to mess with them

[@garyhov6259]

I love Aubrey! She cracks me up

[@TheCatNoOneWanted]

never watched Parks & Rec... now I kinda want to. never heard of Ned Rifle... now I need to see it. I'll watch anything if Aubrey's in it.

[@firewordsparkler]

Oh my god I feel so bad for Aubrey.

[@raulfromthesky3561]

I would love to see a movie with Aubrey and Jim Carey.

[@Addy0401]

This Aubrey has an IQ of 200 and EQ of -200 and I am starting to fall for her ! She is sooooo uniquely amazing !

[@sadomasokistik]

she's so amazing. love Aubrey.

[@ShinRyojin]

It’s like seeing April deal with two middle aged Tynnyfers.

[@gerardomacias9278]

Some people need to learn how to read the room. This is clearly a nice interview. If it feels awkward>s because it is intended, it's Aubrey's style.

[@paulallen2919]

Exactly, people are haters

[@djross95]

I love this woman, she's a hoot!

[@Flem100DK]

I really like this interview. It's different and the interviewers are so funny. Even though they might come off a little rude, it's okay, because it's fits with her special kind of behavior.

[@scouser2010ify]

She gave them a run for their money lmao she’s so good at interviews

[@Jazzybot]

Aubrey Plaza is so talented, intelligent, funny & entertaining, its no wonder she is a successful artist in that she can play anyone. Love her xo

[@spunkiQT]

these two remind me of the geese in The Aristocrats! lol

[@Tren-uh8bx]

lol Aubrey punks these 2 malfunctioning robots

[@DannyPodcast]

I think this was totally great, you could tell they are friends in real life, like they hang out and drink, roller skate.

[@BikesNight]

Shes an Interesting personality,

[@joelfeb1988]

Im in love with Aubrey Plaza. There, I said it

[@taylorlydell1493]

i am going to physically hurt these woman i’ve never been more uncomfortable while watching an interview ever- this feels like when the popular kids go over to talk to the “quite” kid on a dare i hate this

[@taylorlydell1493]

aubrey is great tho

[@SharellJ]

LOL @ dude in the background 0:09. He's like what the hell? LOL

[@HiramSalinas]

lol 3:32

[@PatrickSmithPhD]

Aubrey Plaza playing Aubrey Plaza :P

[@theknowingnanny7708]

Aubrey hates them soooooo much!!!

[@4RobinsonJ]

Damn, that was hard to watch.

[@devonzastre9666]

Jesus.....their completely disrespectful notes to self never watch this show or interviews again.

[@mreketis4]

"You are" 😍😍 hilarious

[@aaronnewell6105]

Omg she is fine!!

[@bepowerification]

omg her eyes are so amazing.

[@nishat5184]

3:11 ha.

[@TheEdge2002]

Something about her makes me attracted to her

[@jasondavis6890]

It's probably that she's stunningly beautiful.

[@jsharp1701]

You and about 20 million other guys. And gals.

[@KrazieSevin]

She'll keep me entertained and interested forever

[@toastee3]

Dont know why so many of the comments are so venomous... I think all three wonen are having a blast, I don't detect any scorn between them.

[@bluesquirrel2472]

She reminds me of myself when some girl keeps talking bullshit and I just play along and they don't get it. So everyone wins.

[@ParallelGamingReality]

I don't wanna end up in the "Fanboy" zone...

[@InAnotherLife90]

best interview ever

[@cpt0118]

Saw Ned Rifle on Vimeo on Demand, very good movie.

[@kevin71127]

What a gem.

[@turdferguson3475]

She's adorable AND interesting.

[@thenightaccelerates]

I love her dress.

[@danielmiller4159]

She is beautiful and fun

[@snydmark]

I don't know how she put up with those two acting like that!

[@hollys6427]

I LOVE HER

[@IIG]

Damn Hoda looks good! I know she works hard for it, but the results are insane.

[@snowball7829]

it would be cool if it was like April messing with Tyniffer, but I think Aubrey's just comfortable with these women, like sure they're always smiling, but they seam honest and non judgemental when they're questioning. They just seam fun to talk to like my Aunties.

[@imshadi]

I dream of spending a life with her... no matter how bad a day can be, watching her makes me smile... but at the same time wonder who she really is.

[@jfreeze5524]

Aubrey is too Sweet

[@juliolemos9671]

If anyone thinks that this interview was suppose to be funny and actually thinks that Aubrey likes these two woman y’all need help

[@sagelovescoffee]

Amazing!!!

[@Khajar]

How drunk are these interviewers?!

[@jacklynsmith23]

anyone who treats aubrey like this deserves to be punched in the face. she is too good for this world.

[@mbb9258]

She's great :)

[@2322zelda]

did they really think she is 18 yrs old? she's 35 now.

[@Larrymarx]

Holy Cow!!!! She sold me:-)

[@stevenseagal4987]

When the page surpasses the hosts

[@Graxster]

Aubrey looks sensational in that blue dress!!!

[@dansable4169]

Just keep pressing this. 3:13 If u r 1337 haxzorz, do it on slowmotion

[@ditlab2345]

1:47 you don't know anything... You don't know what you're talking about

[@pancholightsout]

Hey Aubrey trolled lizard woman nice.

[@OliviaHaruno]

That blonde woman on the right with the Botox seemed like she was out to get her. You can tell Aubrey was uncomfortable but I’m glad she handled it well. Love her!

[@williepughiii777]

only remember two of them hey ladies

[@raymonkravagna6365]

Her acting is just her being her.

[@taylorragland3667]

She looks like she couldn't stand being there... and I'm pretty sure she didn't. She was still so funny though. ^_^

[@MichaelButlerC]

I'm interested in the Ned Rifle film. Do I need to watch the first two films to watch this one?

[@claudisbxch]

No all three films are totally different.

[@teckyify]

Aubrey looks really lovely here. And those two ladies should work on their manners on how to treat guests.

[@phoenixfresh8681]

2 old barbies interview the relatable weirdo fren that you made prank calls with all night during sleepovers back in the day.

[@mynameisliana]

There’s a distinct awkwardness about people who don’t understand or vibe well with dead pan comedy. They had such awkward confused laughter. 😂 I understand that dead pan comedy in itself can be awkward and confusing, but the reactions are worse. 😭

[@12theplace]

i really love her, i wan to be like her.

[@adolphmartinez3544]

She was the realist person amongst those bleach blonde robots
