To be fair we didn’t see much from her during Parks and Rec because she WAS April for years. She’s kind of been working from that character since then and alternately embracing and pushing away the April persona. Holy cow tho she IS Daria. We need that
She always looks like she's full of devilish mischief, which is extremely attractive. It's great that she gets a little love these days, she has fought hard carving out that special niche for herself in Hollywood, she deserves all the love that she gets.
It's so nice to have a channel that keeps the content classy and non-sensationalist and where the narrator isn't fighting for their life to put on a bizarre trailer-voicesque intonation. Thanks for doing this.
Same we need more genuinely enthusiastic presenters when it comes to long-form content, sick and tired of nearly every mainstream youtuber sounding like a coked-out voiceover guy lmao
She suffered from a stroke when she was 20. She said she ended up with a "blood clot in the speech center" of her brain and she speculated that that was why she says things without thinking. Source: I have watched a lot of her interviews and she blurts this out a lot.
I know. Black Bear made me see another side of her that I didn't know about, man, it's difficult to follow the career of every actor, but with her since Agatha All Along she made me investigate her work more and I was amazed. She's one of the best actresses... They say that comedians are better doing drama, than those who only do drama, and boy, yes. She's already in my top list of best actors along with Kathryn Hahn.
Best analysis of Aubrey Plaza on UA-cam. You totally get her, or at least we share the same exact opinion of her and her different personas, acting roles, etc. There have been so many people on UA-cam over the years (usually in the comments section of a talk show appearance), saying things like OMG she’s so awkward but it’s adorable, or she seems so nervous at first, or whatever. Of course, that sort of thing has died down in recent years, but I could always tell she was doing a shtick. As you said, her early work as April Ludgate and in films like Safety Not Guaranteed (which I own because it’s awesome) was basically this character just tweaked a bit from project to project. Then through her thirties she really came into her own as a movie actress, and explored different personas without “selling out”, whatever that means. I mean she has always kept an edge to her. I’m loving her in Agatha because she’s sort of come full circle…like she’s just playing herself, back to her evilhag-screenname days. And she crushes everything she does. Keep up the great work! Have a spooky Halloween and be sure to catch the double episode finale of Agatha All Along on the All Hallows Eve eve. Rio Vidal (_ _ _ _ _) guaranteed to be there!
That promotional tour she did for her book about The Christmas Witch was an absolute pleasure. I watched every appearance because it was delightful. Plus, the witch outfits ruled.
Ingrid Goes West and Emily the Criminal were both great. I haven't seen many of the others (I've actually never watched Parks & Rec) but I've been aware of her through pop culture osmosis and proximity for a long time (being a frequent commenter on AV Club during its prime probably being the largest contributor to that). And yeah I've really grown to love her as an interesting and surprisingly ranged actor.
@@joywagner979no lol, aubrey is also connected to kathryn! the casting was likely both a mix of the casting directors seeing chemistry between certain actors as well as which actors have been comedians, or in marvel or marvel connected shows/movies (which aubrey has) because of the comedic aspect of the show
@@joywagner979 other way around. Patty and Aubrey spoke about the play on the Set of Agatha and Patty basically forced Aubrey to live with her during the play.
Aubrey Plaza is incredibly talented and has worked very hard to develop her skills. She just keeps getting better and better. Her latest films are incredible, she's iconic in these films, specifically "Emily the Criminal" and some of the other films mentioned. She's a serious strong actor who is going to keep rocking our minds in different roles. She can do many kinds of roles, funny, serious, everything
I went to an early screening of My Old Ass and when we were asked for feedback it was all dudes yelling “AUBREY, MORE AUBREY, IT WAS GREAT WE LOVED AUBREY” as an answer to every questions 🤦🏻♀️. Cute movie btw! Highly recommend if you’re into coming of age movies.
I loved her since Mystery Team. I think that was the first thing I saw. Or maybe it was Parks. Followed everything she did. Loved it. But then she did Legion. And I knew she was something special. She will have an Oscar one day. mamy Emmys. We have only got the start of her career and shes only getting warmed up. And legitimately. Who Aubrey is playing in Agatha is perfect casting. Its a spoiler so I wont mention who she is. If anyone wants to know they can Google the leak. Point is. I cannot wait to see more of her playing this character.
I just know that she will blow me away in the last few episodes of Agatha all along. It seems like some juicy things are coming for her character! And even though it's a different role, I feel like Rio is kind of in the same category as Lenny from Legion which is probably my favourite role of hers. I do have to say though, she absolutely KILLED it in Black Bear, the rawness of her performance stayed with me long after watching the film.
Aubrey Plaza is Lily from Modern Family, all grown up. Like if they ever do some kind of time travel where are they now sequel to MoFy, and if the Lily actress doesn't want to do it, I pray that Aubrey will do it.
The first thing I saw her in was a music video from Father John Misty called Hollywood Cemetery Forever. Love that song, and she's pretty hypnotic in the video.
Not to mention she's already casted in Honey Don't along side Margeret Qualley and Animal Friends with Dan Levy (Ryan Reynolds, Chris Hemsworth). Shes also set to star in John Waters film Liarmouth
It's funny because all throughout my twenties I was kind of like Aubrey Plaza in real life, and even sort of look like her (you'll have to take my word for it, sorry!) ... but men who stan Aubrey Plaza very much do not Get It when that type of person is directly in front of them. Other women who like women, on the other hand, were all about it. Take that as you will!
What does her ethnicity have to do with anything unless you are racist? It doesn't change the fact that she can't act and has an off-putting demeanor 99% of the time.
Imagine her as the all grown up version of Wednesday in the working world and getting married. Like how good would that movie!!!! Doesnt exist and its already my new favourite movie 😂
W vid, but in all actuality, there is nothing wrong about this 8:48 if anything what's the weird thing is that Scott program was being a little bit of a dickhead, like seriously! If you grab my mic and I have to be in front of all these cameras and be at a place that I low-key don't want to have to be at and you grab my mic and your fucking with the interview that I'm trying to pass along...Yeah, my gonna tweak at you a little bit.
I Don't watch movies to PLACATE! Movies have become political! They've LOST their ENTERTAINMENT VALUE! HAVE THEY EVER LOOKED OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST!? Or, did they pass it down (PUNCH DOWN) on lesser people? AND THEN BLAME YOU!?
Legion is the performance where I really saw how amazing she could be as an actress. Her post-Legion work shows so much more depth.
To be fair we didn’t see much from her during Parks and Rec because she WAS April for years. She’s kind of been working from that character since then and alternately embracing and pushing away the April persona. Holy cow tho she IS Daria. We need that
Ditto
Legion was SO underrated
search aubrey de grey. she and him should talk
@@gateauxq4604years ago Aubrey was perfect for Daria might be too old now cause Daria is in HS
She always looks like she's full of devilish mischief, which is extremely attractive.
It's great that she gets a little love these days, she has fought hard carving out that special niche for herself in Hollywood, she deserves all the love that she gets.
she should collabprate woth aubrey de grey
No she does not look attractively mischievious, she looks like a dead eyed sex doll who hits the uncanny valley pretty hard.
It's so nice to have a channel that keeps the content classy and non-sensationalist and where the narrator isn't fighting for their life to put on a bizarre trailer-voicesque intonation. Thanks for doing this.
This is legitimately one of my favorite compliments. I try hard to pivot away from being like that.
Same we need more genuinely enthusiastic presenters when it comes to long-form content, sick and tired of nearly every mainstream youtuber sounding like a coked-out voiceover guy lmao
YES!! The voices of other ppl in this genre drive me NUTS.
@@TheBackFocus Thank you for that! Got a new subscriber. Came for the Aubrey, subbed for the rest of your content 😊
OP: “trailer-voicesque” lol. Sounds like something Strong Bad would say 😂

Her acting on Black Bear made my jaw drop, she's absurdly talented.

Definitely
I missed her as Eska in The Legend of Korra. She was amazing there
omg WHAT THATS HER?!!??!!??
@@icewaterwitlemon yep! Only her can be that creepy and that funny

Aubrey has some amazing tales about living with Patti Lupone, at Patti's insistence, while acting in a Broadway play.
Is that how Agatha All Along happened?
(I don't care about that show, but love Patti LuPone.)

I would LOVE to see TheBackFocus do a video on the guy from TheBackFocus!! He has been around for a long time an quite an interesting dude.
That might be fun, actually. I’d have to figure out a way to do it that’s not just completely egotistical, lol

She doesn't have any skills...what are you even talking about? Anyone can read lines like a robot with zero expression. She's just cringey

00:33 Brandon & team, that's me on the left! Thanks for showing this!

Mike Judge should team up with her for the Daria movie, she would be great as Daria.
She's 40 tho
@@SpongeBobaFettShe’s WHAT!?
Based
She played Daria in a CollegeHumor sketch around 10 years ago
She'd be a super Daria but I think she's way beyond that now. She's gone into another dimension and now we're all trying to keep up
I just know that she will blow me away in the last few episodes of Agatha all along. It seems like some juicy things are coming for her character!

Loved Plaza from way back but lost touch with how much she's done to already exceed her legend status. Goddess
That "and of murder" + the side glance at 1:19 awakened something in me
What no mention of “Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever”?
Aubrey Plaza is Lily from Modern Family, all grown up. Like if they ever do some kind of time travel where are they now sequel to MoFy, and if the Lily actress doesn't want to do it, I pray that Aubrey will do it.
First saw her in Legion... and I have been an unconditional fan since
Aubrey is simply incredible and deserves all the love she gets from her fans!
She's great. Also, her bromance with Elizabeth Olson is... interesting.
She’s a Neutral Milk Hotel fan, that’s all I need to know❤
A special artist, very attractive for her original reactions rather than for her physical attributes.
The first thing I saw her in was a music video from Father John Misty called Hollywood Cemetery Forever. Love that song, and she's pretty hypnotic in the video.
You got what the kids these days call moxie.
Not to mention she's already casted in Honey Don't along side Margeret Qualley and Animal Friends with Dan Levy (Ryan Reynolds, Chris Hemsworth). Shes also set to star in John Waters film Liarmouth
She was so incredibly good in Criminal Minds

Other women who like women, on the other hand, were all about it.
Take that as you will!
its a gay personality i agree. i have the same one. its great women clamber for me.
He role in LEGION WAS GASSSS
She is so good in Legion
So refreshing to see a video on an actress that isnt the ingenue. Her and her mixed ethnic background defines and represents many women in the world.
What does her ethnicity have to do with anything unless you are racist? It doesn't change the fact that she can't act and has an off-putting demeanor 99% of the time.
Also my favorite Aubrey Plaza movie is Beverly Luff Linn
Her performance in Agatha All
along is superb
She is crazy and she know it and how to use it to her advantage. Love her.
I really like Aubrey Plaza, I'll watch whatever she's in, just to watch her. Which I can't really say about any other actor I like.
Shes fascinating because shes gorgeous and awkward and that's a beautiful combination in people. Very endearing and easy to fall in love with.
People very much do not Get It in real life.
They just act perplexed and sometimes get angry at that type of woman for no real reason.
Great work, nice video. (Love Aubrey🥰)
Loved Emily the Criminal. So freaking good
She's the manic pixie dream girl we really deserve, the low-energy goth nightmare wild card.
A true star.
I didn't know she played daria. that's funny! perfect casting!
most characters she plays aren't remotely as weird as her irl
she is absolutely brilliant it almost feels wrong
Agatha was a great role for her. Lady Death
She was also the voice of Gumpy Cat in ‘Grumpy Cat Christmas’.
1:04 That's Agatha All Along? What episode is it, where she dances in the kitchen like this?
Thats from Legion
@@LadyCylia Thank you. Do you know which episode?
I love aubrey plaza she is really a great actor
She reminds me of Angus Cloud. They both are there true selves when they act.
Aubrey Plaza avoided being type casted, she casted her type.
I'll see myself out.
I loved her in Legion ❤ she’s great in Agatha but doesn’t have a lot of screen time yet
If Aubrey’s in it, I’m watching it, and that’s the end of it. Or whatever those crazy Christians say.
i love her
“Notice me, Aubrey” the video
She should be a Bond girl I can see it happening.
Yeah I’m a fan
what makes her crazy or strange? i don't understand why people say that shes crazy
Michael Cera was scared shitless at the end
She's the Bill Murray of her current generation of actors.
"Snarky foul-mouthed friend of Ramona"? Have you even seen the movie?
Shes pretty cool actually
Forgot her role of a lifetime: Grumpy Cat
Imagine her as the all grown up version of Wednesday in the working world and getting married. Like how good would that movie!!!! Doesnt exist and its already my new favourite movie 😂
I've wondered for a while how much of her public persona is an act, and how much is related to the stroke she had when she was about 20.
Ya, she's awesome, lol
She was also amazing in My Old Ass even tho she had 2 on-screen scenes
Unfortunately, for me, my magical spot drifted starting about 930 last night and my plan was all fucked up and
Is it just me or does Aubrey Plaza look really young for her age?
she really does, she's 40 but I could've been convinced she's mid 20s
This is understandable at 2x speed.
Weird. Like Aubrey's characters.
Let's be honest. She plays the same character in every role. Wednesday Adams. There are only shades of difference between them all.
W vid, but in all actuality, there is nothing wrong about this 8:48 if anything what's the weird thing is that Scott program was being a little bit of a dickhead, like seriously!

Mother.
Was she making out with Jordan Peterson @ 8:23 ??
Sounds like to me somebody wants a date with ole good old Aubrey. You know you can just ask her right?
The fact that i grew up around the same time and only 20 minutes away from her is amazing. Not so much about joe biden lol
I am crazy.. and you will like it..
Are high
maybe you also like the joker. she is evil thats why you like her. its devils work
She is not acting actually XD
Oh I get it, she's weird.
Aubrey isn’t strange. She is a cancer zodiac. If you understand that then you understand why she’s “different.”
I Don't watch movies to PLACATE! Movies have become political! They've LOST their ENTERTAINMENT VALUE!
HAVE THEY EVER LOOKED OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST!? Or, did they pass it down (PUNCH DOWN) on lesser people? AND THEN BLAME YOU!?
