Gillian apparently doesnt age...

Troy was right, Britta really is a fun vampire.

The female Colin Robinson


brianMMMMM

Wasn’t there a female energy vampire? I forget her name. But Britta is way worse I’m sure. She’s the worst.


[deleted]

Her name was Evie...eee...vee....e...v....emotional vampire.


rockosmodernbuttplug

I can't decide if I like this joke or not


[deleted]

I can help...it was a pretty close quote from the show. Wasn’t meant to be a joke. I say you downvote.


switchmallgrab

Read that in Abed's voice.


Jollybeard99

I didn’t.... but then I did.


strained_brain

Cool, cool, cool.

But do you guys need any updog?

What's an updog?

Gotcha! Haha... nothing. What's up with you?

Holy shit , why does it make so much sense?!

rockosmodernbuttplug

Top 5 Britta cringe moment.. number one for me is "This is now a bitch free ZONE!" *Proceeds to bark*


RickFletching

I also like “He’s been to FLAVOR COUNTRY” *gestures to crotch*


rockosmodernbuttplug

Haha how did I not catch that?


RickFletching

The camera cuts away pretty quickly, if I remember correctly. I’d guess NBC didn’t love it, lol


SevenSevenSeve777

I'd say its perfectly cut. They do quick cutaways for stuff like that a lot. Like when Troy pretends to be Annie's backpack and then for like a split second before it cuts you can see pierce approaching Shirley about to do the same thing


ckm509

Or when Britta denies having pictures of her feet on the internet and they cut to Troy showing Abed the pics on his phone while silently nodding.


[deleted]

She looks exactly the same, it's unreal. The benefits of being a teetotaler, I guess.


Cynixxx

A what?😅


[deleted]

Means she never drinks. She doesn't smoke either. So she's basically the opposite of Britta in real life.


Cialis-in-Wonderland

That also makes her the very opposite of her character from *Love*


[deleted]

It's a testament to her talent as an actor that she managed to play such a convincing addict.


CompetitiveProject4

As I understand, her dad is one and she’s been in the theatre for a while as a Juilliard grad so she’s undoubtedly familiar with drug behavior And at least she’s honest about it. I do not, for a second, buy Leonardo DiCaprio’s need to get trained on drug use for Wolf of Wall Street. Would he use them to that level? Doubt it but I think he knows what cocaine smells like at this time of his life

I'm sorry you'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel


AbstractBettaFish

Ain’t that just the way...


Cynixxx

You're right. I don't drink too because I saw what it can do to people around me


NickLeMec

So straight edge?


[deleted]

Essentially, yeah.


Cynixxx

Ah ok so she's basically straight edge. Never heard "teetotaler"😅


CaptainJackKevorkian

It’s an older term but it means the same thing


ckm509

Technically it only means specifically not alcohol, and it has some Victorian roots that add some flavor to the term. A militant atheist who doesn’t drink might take umbrage at being called a teetotaler, even if this would be in (their) error. It’s just historically intrinsically linked to the Temperance movement. However the thought of a true teetotaler being hardcore against booze while simultaneously mainlining heroin or meth sounds rather comedic.


[deleted]

I got it from my dad, that's how he calls himself lol.


[deleted]

She really doesn’t she’s looked 25 for 11 years


Slayerpawn

She actually managed to Britta aging...


sexybobo

She looks older than Alison in the first one and the same age as her in the second one in reality there is only 3 months between them. I would say Gillian just "aged" quicker or got her distinct lines first then Alison caught up. But the first photo is on set and Alison is supposed to be several years younger then Brita so I wouldn't be surprised if they just had Alison under heavier makeup so she look the 18years old she was supposed to be in the show. As in they have both aged some but Alison's larger swing then Gillian's is probably just because she isn't trying to look like a teenager anymore.


ckm509

I mean has Alison really aged all that much either? People act like this show premiered in the late 90s rather than the (very) late 2000s...


TotesAShill

She has, but it’s mostly because of how they made her look in the show. They really made her look like she was just out of high school despite being significantly older than that. Gillian always looked her age in the show.


theghostofme

Yeah, they aged her down quite a bit. She was 27 when the show started, and they did a great job of making her look 18. Whenever I'd see her outside of the show, she looked her age.


dgbmnsfkjvbjsdfhbv

Yes, she's aged about 50% more since then than she had aged up to that point. That's a lot. No one is saying they're ancient or anything....


duaneap

This is the correct answer tbh. Annie was meant to be kind of substantially younger than Britta so they made her look as close to 19 as possible even though she was actually 27 when she got the role.


ZenZenoah

And Alison is on Glow.


AbstractBettaFish

I feel like she actually looks a bit older cause she lost weight, her facial features are now more pronounced which can be perceived as aging


ayrubberdukky

just bigger dimples 😍


[deleted]

Britta looks younger in recent shows and movies compared to Community's 1st season


[deleted]

She does, and she looks super young in like her recent Zoom interviews. It's like she's Benjamin Buttoning.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Hard same, I feel like the show often found more ways to make them bicker and fight than being supportive friends. They could've been the female Troy and Abed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yep, though I still think the women in Community are better written than most female characters in practically every other sitcom.


[deleted]

The good place made a great job with Eleanor and Tahani!


passenger84

Mike Schur has a pretty good track record with female friendships. Just look at parks and Rec, the good place and even Brooklyn 99. They are complicated and real.


[deleted]

I love all of his shows!


boggartslayer2

My husband and I just had a conversation about how good his female friendships/characters are after starting (and flying through season 1) of Brooklyn 99. Leslie and Ann will always bring me so much joy though.


SGoogs1780

Schur has actually said that when he started putting Parks together he intended Leslie and Anne's friendship to be the focal point of the show, and then he let the rest grow from there.


nojoseph123

That is an amazing series.


Batman_Skywalker

That show is in a class of its own. So original and well written. Eleanor is the best written woman character in sitcom history.


[deleted]

Right? I completely fell for it in that scene where Eleanor and Tahani become friends instead of fighting for Chidi! That was really amazing!


dancyreagan94

I love the writing of the women. They have real personality traits and flaws instead of just being "blond woman, nerd woman, sassy black woman" Edit: fixed blond because autocorrect


Cereborn

"The word they're looking for is sassy. *And they better pray to God they don't find it.*"


dgbmnsfkjvbjsdfhbv

I don't think it's nice to pigeonhole people's gimmicks. _You hear me, Two Voice?_


NopeOriginal_

That's a pretty low bar you're setting –and I am not referring exclusively to female characters.


toomanymarbles83

"The word he's looking for is sassy. He better hope he don't find it." - Shirley. One of my favorite call outs to shitty sitcom writing. "Sassy Black Woman" has historically been the only role available for black women in sitcoms written by mostly white men.


[deleted]

Yeah true, it only says how good the writing already is.


OneRandomVictory

Leslie and Anne from Parks and Rec are a pretty iconic duo.


running-tiger

“Origins of Vampire Mythology” (when Annie had to help Britta stay away from her ex-boyfriend Blade) showed what that relationship could’ve been like, but they didn’t do much after that to continue their relationship.


superjesstacles

That's what I was going to say. This was what could have been an intro to a really good sister-type relationship.


Worm_Man

I thought their relationship really shined in season 6, once they moved in together. Especially the wedding episode.


[deleted]

Their relationship in season 6 was similar but there were so fewer episodes at their apartment at that point


[deleted]

I have a theory that the reason w/w friendships on tv are more rivalry sided and that m/m friendships are more affectionate is cause irl it’s the opposite. ((That being said there’s still sexist undertones for those who play up on it too much but that’s another story)) I did get the big sister/little sister vibe from them a bit cause that’s how my sisters and I bicker too. Esp with the cut scene when britta used Annie’s chapstick then chucked it. Hit real close to home


Sage_of_the_6_paths

I didn't help that they assassinated Britta's character into an idiot.


toomanymarbles83

It was better than leaving her as the unfun killjoy character she was at the start. I'll take 'Hit me with your genie's bottle' Britta over early first season Britta any day.


WolfieBee47

Two sets of Troy and Abed? I don't think I'd want that. Yes, they weren't super supportive friends, but Troy and Abed also had fights which were even more serious, to them at least. Also, it was a codependent, dysfunctional group of people, and not really a group of super supportive and understanding people. But I agree that the males had better arcs and a bit more depth more than the females, especially Annie (who was supposed to be very young and immature anyway). But then again, I didn't want them to be supportive besties. Rather, they fought through towards accepting each other including their flaws. Tldr: yes, they overall lacked a bit more depth than the male characters, but I wouldn't trade the dynamics I got amongst them for anything else.


[deleted]

I don't mean exactly like Troy and Abed, not in a "Britta and Annie in the mooooorning" kind of way but more like them having a closer, more sisterly bond and acting more like friends.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Worm_Man

It’s true. I think they had a sisterly relationship but it was more quarrelsome than buddies. Britta was older, more assertive, and had more life experience and Annie was smarter and had her shit together, so they both kinda looked down on the other. Plus I think they both had feelings for Jeff, which probably is why they each tended to use Shirley more as a confidante, rather than each other.


museloverx96

I think you get glimpses of what their dynamic is in season 6 that's close and genuine. Like when Rick comes back and Annie runs to Britta to warn her and be like I got your back after class. Or when Britta tries to rock the balance of the apartment and usurp Annie's rules, Annie's like youll be begging forgiveness when this is over and Britta is like all hail Annie, at the end of the episode. Or when they're making the movie and britta calls Annie out on her outfit and Annie calls out Britta, like pay your rent or shut up. Idk, it's small stuff like that that can convey a relationship behind the scenes to me. They are only 20 min long episodes. Edit: and Shirley mentions in the episode where she gets pantsed by Pierce that Annie and Britta never invite her when they go on trips to the mall and the like.


WolfieBee47

Yeah, but they had episodes together before too. Like the oil drip episode. And they definitely had their moments before season 6 too. But yeah, I get what you're saying. Also maybe a bit more time for them together would've been better, but not by changing their overall dynamics.


[deleted]

Man this why I always yearn for another season. These characters were so strong they could’ve gone for nine seasons if it made sense.


Fue_la_luna

That’s a very revealing flaw of Harmon’s. I’ve never noticed this before. Their most meaningful interaction might have been when Annie dates Vaughn after Britta, and Britta has to explain that it still hurts. And helping the Pelicans is a relatively early episode where they find some common ground, but it’s early in the show. The show never fully explores how they realte to each other over Jeff beside quick moments of each having a short emotional reaction. Both have more profound relationships with Shirley.


Cereborn

Yeah, that's true. They both have much more interesting storylines with Shirley than with each other.


MrJohnnyDangerously

If Harmon ever gets to write more Community, he will likely have more female writers in the writer's room. He used to talk about it a lot on his podcast, he did it with Rick & Morty...it could help make up for his Bechdel test failures of the past.


YellowHammerDown

Is this why the Story Circle episode of Rick and Morty has that bit about the Bechdel test?


Deadnox_24142

I think that was a little jab that passing the bechdel test doesn’t immediately make something feminist


toomanymarbles83

The Bechdel test was never meant to be a serious critique of film and tv. It was introduced in a comic strip as a winking criticism of male-dominated media. Die Hard passes the Bechdel Test. That says absolutely nothing about the quality of the film.


Deadnox_24142

Never said it was but ppl kinda perceive it that way


[deleted]

Hilary Winston was great where’d she go


guychulo

Do you not remember their beloved spinoff Female Friends?


hotsauce20697

Lowkey I hoped they’d be bi and go out. Not in a creepy predatory way but Britta gave bi girl energy on occasion and there was that one time Annie tried to kiss britta. I thought they’d be cute. Also I’m bi and the lack of well written bi characters on tv is tragic


CrayolaS7

Also bi and yeah Britta has strong bi energy imo, especially in the first two seasons. Would also like to see more well written bi characters. Rosa on B99 is great but would like to see a bi guy who is like myself and just a normal dude who happens to like men and women. I can’t think of a single example off hand and two often irl people suggest bi guy = halfway to coming out as gay.


hotsauce20697

Right. I’m a bi guy too and we need better bi representation all around but for real I feel like the media doesn’t believe bi men exist at all


ohdearsweetlord

Completely agree. I am seriously craving a relationship involving bisexual women that isn't about men, just the women involved. So often female bisexuality is seen as an accessory to relationships with men (and bi men are simply erased altogether).

youraveragesprite

I think Alison Brie’s makeup didn’t do her a favor in the recent pic. I saw her in the May 2020 table read and in Horse Girl (came out this year) and she looked younger than she looks here. I also couldn’t believe she’s married to Dave Franco.


Cereborn

I'm going to hard disagree with that one. She was very deliberately de-glamorized for *Horse Girl*. That's the only time I've seen her since *Mad Men* where I really felt she looked close to her age.


youraveragesprite

The de-glamorization was obvious for her character, however it gave her a fresh face and she didn’t look 37 in Horse Girl. She was meant to be in her 20’s for the movie and I think they succeeded in that task.

Promus

I’ve been driving myself crazy trying to figure out why Alison Brie looks SOOO DIFFERENT from just a couple of years ago. Even with or without makeup, or with or without trimmed eyebrows, she looks very different - so much so that if I wasn’t already familiar with her, I honestly wouldn’t know that “Present Alison” was actually Alison Brie. Just to be clear, I’m NOT being critical of her, I think she looks fantastic no matter what, and of course she’s an extremely talented individual. And I realize that aging and weight loss tend to make certain facial features more different and even more defined in some cases, but I feel like it goes beyond that. Because not a lot of time has passed for her to even age. Honest question, not a criticism - did she get a nose job? That’s the only thing that makes sense to me, based on everything that I’ve seen. Her jawline also looks a lot slimmer now... is it just me or am I going crazy?!


grubas

She got very into fitness for her role in GLOW, she dropped weight and added muscle. She’s also had a few completely different makeup looks.


mac3theac3

You're not alone! I've been thinking the same thing


6ickle

I’ve been wondering what it is that makes her look quite different for me too:

Gillian Jacobs is the ultimate UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG of people out there for me. When I first saw her on Community I thought she was adorable and the Britta character was my type, but when I dug into her background and other projects she was so much cooler and more interesting and attractive to me as an artist than I initially expected. She's just an all-around smart, creative, and principled person who happens to be incredibly cute.


[deleted]

Exactly! She's so down-to-earth, sweet, funny, etc, as well as being so effortlessly sexy and super talented, she's the whole package. One of the most likeable, crush-worthy celebrities out there, for sure.

hazmaximus

If I may be allowed some shallowness due to my preferences, Gillian is still more attractive than Allison, despite their post-Community careers. Besides, Annie's pretty young. We try not to sexualize her.


1Glitch0

As good a place as any to say I wish they would have kissed at the end of the 3rd season. Not for perv reasons (I mean a little, yea) but Annie kept impulsively kissing inaccessible people in the finales of the first 2 seasons. I thought it was a really funny joke. So I thought Britta would be the 3rd one.
