I use it as a kind of occasional self-check test whenever I feel I've been on social media sites too long. Okay, I'll say, so am I becoming like Ingrid ? Am I channeling Ingrid ? When Aubrey says in an interview, I scare myself when I think of what I might be capable of, I think she means all what Ingrid did. 🤔 😊 😐 😳

[@00shivani]

honestly this personality might be received well for her but irl ppl just avoid me for being awkward or they think im mean when i am actually a sweetheart. Wish i was a Hollywood actress

[@linedwell]

She's absolutely beautiful and fantastically funny. I hope she never changes.

[@ArtVandelayLovesPretzels]

She has been fully embraced by the autistic community. I don’t know if she actually is, but there are so many similarities and she outwardly acts how many of us feel inside.

[@rellis881]

she's funny and she has a great personality but she's an actress and a comedian and she's playing a role. if you fan boys really want to see the real Aubrey plaza, watch her on Conan's podcast and you get to see the real her when she's with Conan on his show you see the real human being that she is she's actually far more interesting because she actually goes into detail about different things in our life and you 100% see that with everyone else she's in character with Conan O'Brien who has known her for years she's genuine.

Love Aubrey Plaza, love your videos! Another great one! 👏🏻

Thanks Philip! happy to have you here :D

She’s got the ‘tism

[@lizzyandheradhdcreations]

This right here. As a Puerto Rican autistic woman born in New York I agree with this. It’s highly likely she’s one of us.

[@laurenbreeze94]

@@lizzyandheradhdcreations like she’s def a sarcastic bitch and I love her for it. But it’s some kind of neurodivergency that caused her to use humor and darkness as a coping skill lol

[@cecilereyna]

Her role in The White Lotus was perfection. Fit her like no other performance I've seen

[@hlb979]

I think she's a *truly* fantastic actress; one doesn't get to witness this many times in a lifetime. One of the first things I've noticed about this, the first time I've seen her act: her role required intensity, and what I saw in her was an intensity on par with Anna Magnani (an actress from a distant past in italian cinema, that is still very much on the mind of people to this day here; one of a kind).

[@truenough86]

Watch here eyes as she says “right back” 11:25 🤯

[@sxty8goats]

All that and no mention of her roll on Legion. She was fucking brilliant on that show. First time she wasn't doing 'Evil Aubrey' that I saw. I enjoyed her work before that, became a fan because of that.

[@Nebol]

Noooo? Is there? Woooooooooow!! Fresh take, bro!!

[@Sophadegus]

MK ultra imo. Give her “Hot Ones” episode a watch. When they’re eating the super hot stuff, the host busts out some printed paper with images that supposedly matches what we see. We can’t see the actual printed paper since it’s faced the other way, but you can clearly make out whatever she is being shown is not what we are being shown.

[@urbangypsy770]

I’m with you but could you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by this example?

[@Sophadegus]

@@urbangypsy770 So what I’ve heard is that celebs under MK ultra have “trigger” words/images/videos/etc, that’s used to control/hypnotize them. Apparently they call this “going to the happy place”. - In Aubrey Plaza’s “Hot ones” episode, there’s a sketchy bit around the end where (to me) it appears she’s being hypnotized using images. I recommend watching the whole episode, but interesting bit starts from 22:18. The interviewer shows her multiple random images for her to make a “poker face”, which I don’t really understand the point of. Anyways, the video shows the image she’s supposedly looking at in bottom left corner. But pause at 22:49 and 22:53. Compare the image shown at the bottom left to what the interview is holding. They don’t show the front view, but you can see through the paper and make out he isn’t showing the same picture the viewer is shown. Mind you, this is her after eating the spiciest wing. Hard to explain but I hope you know what I mean after watching. It’ll be great if you could let me know if you did and tell me if I’m crazy or not

[@Shackl3d]

@@Sophadegus I don't think you're crazy for spotting that but I think occam's razor applies here.The one at 22:49 can easily be attributed to an editing error. The one with Jeff Goldblum, it seems like they show her two frame from his hot ones episode and showed us only one probably because it didn't matter all that much about seeing two frames. Plenty of multi-million dollar movies have similar continuity error so it's not hard to imagine a show on scale of hot ones would make a similar error. With things like MK Ultra theories it's always best to apply occams razor. The simplest explanation is probably the best. Hollywood is an industry driven by looks, fame, and money. Therefor a majority of those that succeed are the ones willing to do whatever it takes. So it's much more likely you have a bunch of people putting on fake appearances and following PR managed guidelines in order to keep their fame and money as opposed to some elaborate hypnotization scheme that would require some expert level worldwide coordination in order to keep it a secrete AND successful.

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

I think you dropped your tin foil hat.

[@internisus]

Her role on Legion deserves a shout as something really different, too.

[@SuperDuperVision]

I’ve always had a crush on Aubrey. You did great on this video essay. Got a subscriber and supporter in me, can’t wait to see what you come out with next.

[@goldenbird1030]

If someone should ever play Courtney Kardashian in a movie, she would be the perfect choice. With blonde hair, however, she has some serious resemblence to Lady Gaga. Also, she really looks like Ráhel Orbán, the daughter of Hungary's Prime Minister.

For the gals. For the guys it's more like bleach

[@mangaas]

As someone who stopped having cable and watching television in the mid 2000's as the internet made cable irrelevant, its amazing how many celebrities peaked at the tail end of the death of cable that I have no clue who they are. I've seen Scott Pilgrim vs the world and didn't know this actress was famous.

[@sr28774]

I first remember her from the serie Legion, and she was amazing.

[@jonathanhuerta7715]

you mean legion

[@sr28774]

@@jonathanhuerta7715 Yes, thanks for the correction 😁

[@squirlmy]

The background music, at least at the start, is Erik Satie - Gnossienne No. 1(?) and it fits beautifully. It should be Aubrey's theme music from now on!

[@ThePancakeJedi]

I can see why people would feel attracted to the snarky behavior. But I don't think it would be a very sustainable relationship. Especially for those dealing with unprocessed childhood trauma.

[@ronmackinnon9374]

For anyone wondering, the clip at 9:41 is from 'Emily the Criminal.'

[@okamifang4059]

She's amazing. Not enough people give her credit for Legion chefs kiss

[@emomuzz5883]

The word "unique' does not take a modifier. In Aubrey I will make an exception. GENUINELY unique.

[@keeleon]

It probably helps that she is physically attractive.

[@elainestokes2787]

Yeah, I don’t think she’d be seen as endearing or have the fanbase she does if she wasn’t.

[@fayegopop]

@@elainestokes2787yeah but that’s how things are within that industry. her being pretty is a minimum requirement, everything else she offers to the table are bonus points

[@721rena]

But she's average looking though

[@JeffMTX]

Janine Garofalo pulled it off. And then got terminal TDS.

[@yega3k]

People say this a lot and I think it’s dumb and disrespectful towards the actor. There’re tons of physically attractive people with failed acting careers. And there’re “unattractive” people with hugely successful acting careers. You do need the talent, the hard work and a bit of luck like anything else in life.

[@yianna147]

Aubrey is easily my favorite actress. She's so talented.

[@noiJadisCailleach]

To anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Her performance in Disney's "Legion" hits it home. Even if you're just a slight fan of her, you've gotta check it out.
