- A deep dive into Aubrey Plaza telling the epic story of how she cracked into Hollywood by landing her Parks and Rec role as April Ludgate, as well as Judd Apatow's Funny People and Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs The World in the span of a single week.
Her interviews with Conan O’Brien (Conan Needs a Friend podcast) and Sam Jones are mashed up - along with clips of April in Parks and Recreation - as she recounts the exact series events that led her from being an unemployed actress and budding comedian in Queens, NYC to flying out to LA to audition for Funny People, which then led to Parks and Rec and Scott Pilgrim.
Plus, bonus clips of some of April Ludgate’s funniest moments on the show.

Wow, this is pretty wild. According to RUclips's analytics, 94% of people who watched this video so far were male and only 6% were female! Any theories as to why? (I think we'd have more clarity if RUclips could tell us how many of those men watched it with their pants off).
The demographic breakdown was also unexpected (to me anyway).
18-24 year olds = 0.2%
25-34 = 5%
35-44 = 21%
45-54 = 31%
55-64 = 27%
65+ = 15%
I assumed most of the viewers would be younger….but maybe they're too young to even know or care about her? And I almost forgot, I'd old af now.
Comment below and tell us your age and what's appealing about her to you, as well as how you came to know her (Parks and Rec? White Lotus? One of her movies?).
Male, 35-44 cis-het. Pants on.
I identify with April/Aubrey because she's the kind of person I wanted to be when I was like 17-22, but I wasn't witty enough and cared way too much about what people thought about me.
Discovered her in Parks but she's great in everything, especially Emily the Criminal.
Wait, you have trouble thinking about men liking pretty girls? Lol
44M. I did watch it with my pants off but not like that. I never wear clothes at home. Also, I’ve never watched Parks and Recreation, but this compilation makes me want to.
24 y/o here; saw her on Parks of course. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is, but she just seems like the kind of person I'd never get tired of talking to. It's not just the deadpan delivery-everything she says is steeped in a strange sort of meta-irony. It seems like she aknowledges the validity of cynicism, but still appreciates the absurdity of the human condition and loves the chaos of life. She's smart enough to keep herself out of trouble, but she doesn't feel the need to behave exactly as every 'perfect' holywood type has no doubt perscribed. She just keeps it real and does what she knows is entertaining.
Also hot as fuck, can't go wrong with that.
Hail the Deadpan Goddess-Empress.
She was the reason, or her meme actually for me to start watching that show.
She represented the universal next gen, who is a mystery.
Aubrey was great in P & R, but she was brilliant in Legion. Lenny Busker was the rôle she was born to play.
I don’t remember any of that… priceless
9:56 😂😂
Perfect woman.
She's so funny, one of the funniest people I've ever seen, heard... you know. Who cares, watever. 😊
10:19 As a pretty passionate fan of catch-22, I often wonder if this scene is inspired by major major major doing the same thing 🤔
Weirdo's are the best people. I've been told this all my life. Hence my attraction; I kept my pans on.
In the Conan interview, is it just me or does Aubrey look exactly like Dave Grohl? 😂😂
Not really 😂😂 it’s you
It is so strange that she is so cute and appealing, and so weird at the same time! WTF! Who can explain it to me, please?
I’ve heard the theory she’s an alien sent to earth to observe. She became famous and now can’t leave.
you're a creep?
She’s someone we all want to watch (and bang), but wouldn’t want to live with, lol.
@@sellingacoerwa8318are you asking them? 😂😂😂...... They literally just stated the exact appeal and why Aubrey Plaza is so popular. There's enough negativity in the world. Stop adding to it
She is cute as F!@#$%k!
The very rare clip I watched the whole thing when Conan is involved. His fake laugh is annoying. He's not remotely funny. And too tall.
Good point. The most important quality of an interviewer on a podcast is to be the correct height.
@@thesaltycobra Needed to be said. So I said it. Plainly.
@@gailtaylor1636 I can believe things that are true and things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not.
I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and the Beatles and Marilyn Monroe and Elvis and Mister Ed. Listen - I believe that people are perfectable, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice ones that look like wrinkled lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women.
I believe that the future sucks and I believe that the future rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone's ass. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline in good sex in America is coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state to state.
I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste.
I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like martians in War of the Worlds.
I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman.
I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumble bee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself.
I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck.
I believe that anyone who says sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly. I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too.
I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system.
I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.
You are both observant.
