The fact she cared more for her co star's health than dropping everything and ditching him AND the fact she politely told me she couldn't take my flowers at the moment (I ended up giving them to her security) proves She's as chill as can be.

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.

[@bitofalice]

I think is also important that Aubrey is talented, hardworking, experienced knows comedy. She's not JUST being genuine or authentic, she's that *as well*

[@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.

[@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!

[@Areyasatisfied1]

Nice little title you got me

[@hudooguru2]

Great content. Well done.

[@MrGMovieReviews]

I’ve had a crush on her since I was 13 lol she’s one of the best of her generation

[@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).

[@kailomonkey]

I've only seen her in Life After Beth. She was amazing in that. You didn't even mention it.

[@HermeticWorlds]

It's easy to answer - she's autistic with amazing charisma and comedy timing. She's awesome.

[@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.

[@PhilipVeinstein]

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

[@Renzy_YT]

Thanks Philip! happy to have you here :D

[@PokeySoggybottom]

'What risk? 'Awkward' and 'anxious' personalities have been trendy for a long time now. Michael Cera, Jessie Eisenberg, Kristin Stewart etc...The public eats it up.

[@lightlightlight]

Actually her younger self does not have such an effected tone. I think she really clung to her “parks” character and hides her real self in it. April’s deadpan is indeed more interesting than a more normal Girl after all.

[@allyjay7395]

Did you not hear the part when they said April's character was written in based on her personality?

[@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.

[@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.

[@fembot521]

She’s an amazing actor. I just watched Emily The Criminal and she was awesome in it. Under rated.

[@kat_a_bru]

Emily the Criminal was *wait for it* criminally underrated 🙃 And her chemistry with Theo Rossi ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@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.

[@zorkblat3858]

This earned you a sub. Well done.

[@laurenbreeze94]

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

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

[@sr28774]

Shes normal now. Prolly grew up, got tired of the schtick or shes too well known.

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

[@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.

[@emmagucci_art]

ok, but can we mention how good she's been in Legion? The role was perfect for her!

[@deuxforever13]

She is amazing! All the men want her, she is the cool girl in the group of friends, she is the amazing wife/partner that any men want. She is honest, brutal, brutally honest, and legitimately genuine. I dont think she is acting, she is just being herself. She is simply an amazing woman.

[@Trump20-24years]

“All men want her.” No def not. Also she is deadpan and “quirky.” That’s literally it 😂😂😂😂

[@ronmackinnon9374]

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

[@cecilereyna]

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