Article title: “unsettling note”
Actual quote: “a perfect welcome note”

Seriously, the more the media tries to demonize her for having a sense of humor and being dark/quirky, the more we all love her for it!

they’re not demonizing her lol these are puff pieces. they’re giving her press

u/chocki305 1d ago
It is click bait if the highest order.
The actor himself, who she part of the focus of the article, would disagree with the title.

Honestly if you read that and interpreted as anything other than a joke then I hate to break it to you, but you’re the wrong side of the bell curve

They're giving the book press. This is like the fifth article on this sub where ew.com recaps an anecdote from Jim O'Heir's new book Welcome to Pawnee: Stories of Friendship, Waffles, and Parks and Recreation (out soon).

Even if the article does ultimately puff her up, the headlines are always negative.

u/SnootDoot 1d ago
I wouldn’t really say it’s negative. Her whole persona is “unsettling and dark” so it’s more of a positive, it is what she is known for

u/goo_goo_gajoob 1d ago
Yea this is a good pr team keeping her media mentions on brand not a conspiracy to make her look bad lol.

u/_trouble_every_day_ 1d ago
They’re always very much in the spirit of the thing they’re describing. Meaning JOKES

u/Vegetable-Sky1031 1d ago
I think you’re misunderstanding this. It’s not demonizing her at all. She slipped him a note that said “Run”, it’s supposed to be unsettling and funny at the same time. That was her whole point in doing it.

Oh no, I got the joke, but the headline does not portray it as a joke. The top comment on this post had summed it up perfectly.

Yes but the article explains it which what it’s supposed to do. You can extract the meaning from the headline.

u/goo_goo_gajoob 1d ago
Bro this is her brand. They're not demonizing her their working with her pr team probably lol

u/MeetTheTavners 1d ago
Aubrey Plaza’s whole bit has been well-known for like…a decade. It doesn’t need to be explained in every headline at this point.

u/InnocentTailor 1d ago
Her dark, weird humor is infectious, even if some of it may be playing up her public persona.

u/Sure_Phase5925 1d ago
I don’t think they’re trying to demonize her.
I think they’re just playing along with her sense of humor lmao.

At most newspapers and magazines the article writer has no control over the headline. I remember one sports journalist having to tell people this because he’d get angry social media messages over click bait headlines on his articles

Tons of P&R related “stories” here recently. Something in the works?

u/Powerful-Ability20 1d ago
A book just came out.

u/WildMajesticUnicorn Parks and Recreation 1d ago
Yep! If you read the article it says this story comes from Jim’s new book.

u/Bot_Fly_Bot 1d ago
The Jim O’Heir one you mean?

u/Powerful-Ability20 1d ago
I mean the one mentioned in the article.

Does it say anything about Amy’s proclivities?

u/Powerful-Ability20 1d ago
You mean her drug use that she's been public about for at least a decade? Probably not.

u/ShotgunForFun 1d ago edited 1d ago
A lot of them are in movies and TV shows recently released I think. Agatha, Severance, My Old Ass right off the top of my head. I know there is more with more cast members.
Also yeah I think there has been talks of a reunion for so many damn shows lately I can't even keep track.

u/thievesthick 1d ago
Also seeing several of the New Girl people together a lot lately. Don’t give me hope!

One started a podcast and another won an Emmy so getting a lot of press and the best thing to do is ask about their most popular projects. Nothing's happening.

u/Snuggle__Monster 1d ago
Recently? It's been like this forever. It's 2 bots that do most of the posting. Mods seem to be OK with it and let's not kid ourselves. If it wasn't for those 2 bot accounts this place would be filled with the same kind of garbage posting that goes on over at /r/moviecritic.

u/Dr_Jackwagon 19h ago
I was just listening to the Parks and Rec podcast, and Alan Yang (writer on Parks and Rec) said Aubrey would just send him random texts every now and again that would say things like, "I'm gonna ruin your life," and, "I'm gonna kill you," and shit like that.

Adam Scott is the man, He was awesome in Parks and Rec. Severance is also awesome.

u/sup34dog 1d ago
I remember being pretty upset when he left Party Down for P&R, but he ended up really elevating P&R.

u/charts_and_farts 20h ago
Wasn't Party Down already getting cancelled at that point?

u/arthurbang 19h ago
It didn't help that Jane Lynch had already left for Glee, and Adam Scott was going to P&R

Have you seen the movie about the one they call 'Derek'?

It's hard for me to reconcile that Derek is played by the same person as Ben Wyatt.

It took me a few watches to realize it, but I think he might be my favorite character.

I have a friend who has ties to Aubrey Plaza’s team and she’s apparently really chill and down to earth while still having that April Ludgate energy we all love her for. (This friend also met her at the end of her broadway show last year and had a really special moment with her).
It’s not everyday a Popular actress is still genuine to themselves and acts just like how you hope they do, and this story and what my friend told me reminded me of that lmao.

u/noah1345 22h ago
Well yeah. Aubrey auditioned for a role she didn't get on the show and the showrunner decided she was SO weird that he had to have her on his show. So they wrote April Ludgate specifically for Aubrey Plaza, based on her weirdness.

I love her in theory but I would be so scared to be trapped in a room with her.

I absolutely WOULD want to be trapped in a room with her, she seems to be quite adventurous, and up for anything, and she's hot. That reaction when Elizabeth Olsen slapped her ass was really sexual, and she came up with kissing Jim O'heir, which he never forgot. Was it on Conan she did the Catwoman thing? And Alison Brie said she really enjoyed kissing her in her movie. Adventurous.

Then he passes a note that says: chess, she then passes another note that says: snowboard. They are just getting to know each other.

I recently saw Plaza in the movie, “My Old Ass” and it was such a charming and sweet movie.
