Aubrey Plaza - “Megalopolis” & “My Old Ass” | The Daily Show

[@ion1984]

2 women with the most unique personas ... this was a LOT more normal of a conversation than I anticipated, LOL. unexpected but awesome.

[@sploosh1425]

Okay Aubrey Plaza has a unique persona. There is almost nothing unique about Desi.

[@MisterJIFF]

I love every single time Desi gets to interview another woman around her age, it is always a blast

[@Fokko]

@@sploosh1425Desi has an unique gift of playing certain types when she does a bit satire joking around, Types where people often can identify with a part of themself, and that way she seems to include you within the joke and that way she often demonstrate a lot of times we tend to be uncomfortable or insecure about but we taking ourself to serious which can be fixed with some subtle self-spot, being able to laugh about your silly self! En Audrey has always been very special and she always will be I think! She still gives me vibes of that she is struggling with just being herself or uphold some behavior etiquette what goes a bit in against her own inner nature❗️ She’s still lovely though😘

[@Grimerpr2016]

Desi is also pretty hilarious, they both are, plus they're both cancers in terms of zodiac signs, aubrey and i share the same bday, except she's 5 yesrs older than me ​@sploosh1425

Я “The list to do” и “Scott Pilgrim vs the World” пересмотрел по много раз:)

[@TreiberSeptim]

I love how Desi is just completely unfazed by Aubrey‘s weird habits and leans into them, so most of the conversation actually becomes surprisingly normal.

[@bearbryant3495]

I was thinking this is about the most sedate and normal I've seen Aubrey. She definitely has a gift for being her self.

[@desert_sky_guy]

Two peas from the same pod. This was absolutely awesome!

[@DuncanJimmy]

Desi Lydic's style of interview is so refreshing and smooth. Love how well she and Plaza played off each other during this interview. P.S. Aubrey looked like a million bucks in that suit!

[@batmanwins5701]

It was the least standoffish and modt relaxed I've ever see Aubrey in an interview. Almost disappointed 😂

[@lupo3694]

@@batmanwins5701 ikr, it's almost weird to see her so relaxed. Maybe Desi did give her something.

[@MrDlenrek]

She is a very busy Actress! Talking about 2 movies and a tv series coming out about the same time! Dang

[@paulwilliammonks1]

The writers strike caused lots of delays so things have been released all at once even though they were filmed long before. Thankfully everything is catching up now.

[@timoooo7320]

Are the two movies coming out on the same day?

[@Mustin]

This is actually how she got her start as well. Having never acted, she got the roles in Funny People and Scott Pilgrim within days of each other. So this is old hat for her 😅

[@jstmarton]

​@Mustin sure but they didn't get released together but a year apart. That's kinda the irony here the release periods.

[@ReScqAkaPantee]

It´s kind of reminiscent to the start of her career when she was cast for Parks & Rec, Scott Pilgrim and Funny People within the span of just one week - the rest is weird history.

[@repeat_defender]

Desi is like the only person who can act natural and ask funny questions of Plaza, this was a great interview.

[@momohmart]

Chemistry is great. They riff off each other well!

[@RJ420NL]

why do i think that an older Plaza would totally troll her younger self? 😅

I could see her starting off with a...."you really think you're a big shot, huh?"

​@@ajay1589 No, her 75 year old will start with "Remember when you said FU** old people, I'm gonna live forever? We'll guess what? You die at 70 and I'M NOT REAL" just to troll.

[@cconnon1912]

It’s awesome that awkward girl doing something different than anyone else has made it well. I followed her career from the beginning and she is really cool. She’s probably a bit unhinged in real life.

[@aijiang]

I’ve always wondered what it was that made Aubrey Plaza different. I think I finally realized she’s just really comfortable in herself, flaws and all.

[@theunknownkadath]

Or so deeply uncomfortable? It's hard to tell the difference.

[@MadAboutBrows]

​@@theunknownkadath only if you're uncomfortable is it hard to tell 🙏

[@danielriggs8167]

I feel like she's very aware of herself and just can't help but be honest, and that's hard, but that's how she lives every day so what are you gonna do, and it's great

[@dukeon]

Aubrey has no flaws!

[@XtraTori]

Aubrey Plaza is wonderful. Her role in Legion was fantastic.

[@ARGYLLE_IS_NOWHERE]

💯

[@oe5580]

Yes 💯! I wanted to say the same

[@bigplayray1625]

🤩I was already addressing her as WOW before she played this character.

[@sethjoyce]

I think so much of Aubry's deadpan slightly smirking sarcasm comes from not taking most of her interviewers seriously or respecting them, but here she's so level (still a little weird and smirky) because she really does respect and feel comfortable with Desi, so there's less of a guard up. Desi comes off as a really genuine, honest person, and she can be wicked mean too with people she doesn't respect or like in much the same way. It feels like a case of real recognizes real and because they're kinda kindred spirits is why this interview felt so... normal.

[@mattking68]

Spot on.

[@KingOfAllJackals]

Desi’s suit jacket, undone tie look is SO FRIGGIN’ COOL.

She almost made it through the whole interview before the nerves kicked in and it got typically weird. This is the most normal interview I've seen her give.

[@thesuncollective1475]

It was a bit pedestrian, I want zany, fun

[@JCDofNYC]

If her film career takes off, she may, unfortunately, have to mainstream herself. If there's big Hollywood money involved, and she's out promoting films, those production companies may hem her in, afraid the quirky oddball we all find so charming, might scare off some moviegoers.

[@eastvandb]

​@@JCDofNYC "takes off"? I think she's doing just fine.

[@dgthe3]

You do recall that the very first thing she did was put her foot up on the desk, then take it off, the put it back up, only to take it off again. Right?

[@JCDofNYC]

@@eastvandb I didn't mean to suggest she wasn't doing fine. What she isn't, right now, but these roles indicate she could be: a lead actress. That was my only concern is that if she rose to the top of the A list, she might lose some of her quirky charm.

And with HER, she can make that work in both in an angry/crazy way, AND/OR in a sweet/loving/deep soul way. I fell in love the 1st time I ever saw her. I didn't know who she was, but she was on a late-night talk show. She was super cute, & they way she answered questions & behaved made me take notice - Instant Fan!! That made me start watching P&R, & she's a FUN person - too cool for words, but, yeh, BEAUTIFUL EYES!!
