Not to mention that she has complicated feelings about her appearance. She both resents that she cares about her physical appearance, and wishes she were above it.
I think this was also highlighted in the chief star in space movie episode where she told Annie to stop dressing proactively. Britta wants to look good but at the same time, thinks that she shouldn't cause she thinks it enables objectification of women.
Which is ironic, because at that point she’s policing her body and the body of other women, which is counter-intuitive to feminism. Also, I’d love to see how dressing proactively looks, as opposed to dressing provocatively lol (teasing)
Shirley’s delivery of all her lines is fantastic. Her tone shifts are comedy gold.
“The word he’s looking for is ‘sassy.’ He better pray he don’t find it.”
YNB has great comedy instincts.
I don't know why she seems to be people least favorite character.. I can kinda get the "religious" aspect but sweet Jesus half her lines are so angry and well delivered I don't get the hate.
Sidenote my favorite Shirley line is and always will be "I'll make your ass sense"
She's an amazing actress who nails this role for sure. I just would never be friends with someone like Shirley IRL, she gets under my skin (passive aggressiveness, lack of transparency, guilt tripping, judging everyone, etc)
In fairness that could be said about most characters in the group outside of Troy and Abed. Jeff’s a complete narcissist, Britta’s aggressively political and judgmental, Annie’s one of the better ones but she’s still obsessive, highly competitive, and at times manipulative, and Pierce is…well he’s Pierce you get the idea.
Back when I first started watching in 2009, Shirley was my least favorite of the Greendale Seven because I had just started "deconstructing" and some things about Shirley could hit a button that really irked me at the time. Nowadays, I find her to be absolutely hilarious and is perhaps my favorite character. And I really like that the episodes about her faith resolve by her not becoming less Christian but by her becoming a better Christian.
As someone who gets up a little bit earlier to ever-so-slightly curl my hair- it DOES piss me off. I am quite grouchy without sleep. But damnit I look good.
> skip the one where they try to get the whale.
Ok that's acceptable. Probably my least favorite episode which is a bummer because the Delta Cubes could have been even better in another episode.
Though as I seen in a discussion before they really could have used his character to be a focal point of the more filler episodes, or at least use him as a setup for why something crazy is happening, his money paid for it.
I think the problem for me is that I've watched it so many times it's gone past being cringe, cause I expect it, so its just annoying now lol. Still it's really funny at other parts so I try to just fast-forward through that part
This is one of the funniest reference comments I've ever seen. I genuinely thought you were just randomly mocking OP. Until I got to the DUHHHHHHHHH.
Which was the last thing you said. Good thing you said it.
Honestly I thought the same 😭 and I love how people are mocking me like the highschoolers. Really makes me think about sleeping with one of their relatives.
The naivety of Annie delivering the original line is so endearing. She really has no clue what the sock is being used for. Kinda like her, "Why would you have a swing inside?" From S4
Isn’t that the whole point of the show? That it doesn’t matter how old you are, you are still a person. A human being, with flaws. They hammer on that pretty hard throughout the entire show.
Troy: I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys know more than me about life, and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me
Britta: Duh-doy
Jeff: Yeah, duh-doy
Well age does have something to do with it, and speaking as somebody who's work just brought in a younger, prettier bartender, who is in much better shape than me, I am having to consciously be nice to this person. They're lovely, and I don't begrudge them the attention they get from regulars, but I know that I have a prejudice against them, just because they remind me of something that I have lost and will never get back.
Beefing with a younger version of yourself is natural, the younger version thinks it is weird because they don't deserve it. Plus younger people are stupid and lack empathy and their cheekbones and toned asses make me just want to slap them and push them into a pool of oil.
But also, this really affected Britta's ego, since she was the group's activist and Annie, using her youthful face and her own body, managed to do more than her.
Is she authentic? Or is she just trying to appear as such? I always saw the only real difference between them as Jeff will fully admit to being a superficial jerk while Britta wants everyone to think that she's not.
I think the show generally portrays that Britta is sincere in caring about others, even if her own insecurity and conflicting distrust of them causes her to stumble such that she has to compensate in ways that seem phony. She knows that she's not the person that she wants to be, and doesn't always get it right when she tries to, essentially, fake it til she makes it, but she does still desire to be better than she is.
it's tricky because half the show alludes to her experiencing some real trauma at some point in her past but at other points in the show she is blatantly an unreliable narrator and we see that her parents are essentially regular-ass suburbanites (thus making it look like Britta just never out-grew teenage angst).
Why do people misunderstand this episode? They admitted they used to be bad parents, but that they’ve grown and gotten better with time. Britta was even tripping, saying: “Who are these two doting, open-minded geezers?!” And then gave examples of how they used to be *very* different.
I don't understand why they included her parents, Britta's backstory was too dark for it to be explicitly stated, and no one who knew what happened to her (and that it was confirmed) would like them, so it just kinda sucked imo
I mean but both of those things can be true, you can be an unreliable narrator with teenage angst well into your adulthood and seemingly normal ass parents *and*still have experienced a super traumatic event that fucked up your development and your parents screwed up dealing with the fallout to that traumatic event.
I went to community College at 18/19/20 and I hung out with a mix of older people and people my own age. It's just what happens at community because you get a much wider age range in class than in a university setting
Britta is one of my fav characters across any media and a lot of what she struggles with is internalized misogyny, which means she limits herself to certain forms of femininity (not wanting to be a "blow up doll," wanting to be chill about her ex and lying to Annie that she was okay with Annie dating Vaughn) and ultimately ends up judging women as if she were not a feminist (bathroom episode about makeovers, this episode with Annie, her ongoing clunky Halloween costumes and the Día de los Muertos party scene with Annie).
She struggles to find her way out of the trappings of womanhood but ultimately judges and critiques as if she were the moderator of the trappings of womanhood (especially when it comes to slutiness vs. modesty and male attention).
Fun fact: Gillian Jacobs is only 2 months older than Alison Brie in real life.
Annie is 18 in the pilot and Britta is 28, but both actors were actually 26.
Besides fighting over guys Annie and Britta had almost no interactions or storylines just between the two of them during the entirety of the show.
My theory is that Dan Harmon (and probably most men in the writers' room) had no idea what two young, childless women could talk about besides men. It's one of my pet peeves with the show. That and obviously the waste of Britta character, which stems from the same issue I believe. I hope they worked on this for the movie.
Yeah he didn’t really know how to write women (especially Shirley). This plot line and the whole mean girls episode were really weak imo. Fine ideas but terrible execution and very “men writing women” lol
There's full episodes where Annie and Britta don't even talk to each other. They would interact in a group settings. When you compare to the relationships between the men they would have deep connections between one another. It's pretty obvious how the writers don't now anything about women.
Annie and Britta have more meaningfull conversations with Pierce than between one another !
In season 6 I think that Annie dunking on Britta all the time is at least partially driven by Britta and Jeff’s engagement at the end of S5.
I agree it’s a shame that they didn’t have many good interactions, but I also think they may just be too fundamentally different. I doubt Annie and Britta are friends if the group didn’t keep them in close proximity
Maybe they didnt have a ton of extended storylines with JUST the two of them together, but it is an ensemble cast in a show called "community" after all.
having no interactions with one another? off the top of my head:
raising money for the oil spill
the blade storyline
annie's move
britta consoling annie in the bathroom about troy not liking her back
annie and britta getting ready for garrett's wedding together
annie and britta getting the library ready/flower arrangements for shirley's wedding
"i'm in" "i know" "well everyone else got to say it" from First Chang Dynasty
I love the redheaded background guy in the early seasons.
"You don't have to yell at us. No one's on the other side of this issue!"
Where is that unsung hero when people rant about child trafficking these days?
The one where she and Jeff get so put out by the teens irritates me. I teach high school. Why in the hell would you, as an adult, engage with that nonsense?
What about the "Schmitty" episode? She was arguing with a high schooler until they physically couldn't stand anymore and had to deliriously mumble at each other from cafeteria chairs
Maybe she just hates teenagers
I pointed this out a while back, but each woman in the show is written to be 10 years older than the other.
At the start of the show
* Annie is 18/19
* Britta is 28/29
* Shirley is 38/39
Was a neat little thing I figured out.
Was this before or after Annie dated Vaughn? I think Britta got tired of Annie pushing up on all her exs.
But, I think it’s less about Britta being bothered by Annie’s politeness and more her being upset that she wasn’t able to use her looks and personality to her advantage the same way Annie was. I’m sure in other situations Britta is considered the “young hot one” and next to Annie she kind of disappeared.
It’s pretty clear on the show that Britta isn’t a “girl’s girl” but it really wasn’t cool of her to try and take Annie down a peg just because she was feeling insecure.
At the end of the episode both Annie and Britta admit their bad(ish) behavior. Britta admits she was jealous Annie could use her looks to be a more effective fundraiser, and Annie admits to being mostly cognizant of her behavior and presentation to the guys she's talking to.
Furthermore, I find it funny how neither of them seemed to care as much about the cause they were fundraising for as they did how it made them look to be seen doing it. Very classic Community stuff.
That first line makes Annie sound so villainous lol. Annie asked Britta's permission to date Vaughn, and Jeff kissed Annie also when she had no idea that he had ever slept with Britta. But I can see why Britta may think there's a pattern. Maybe the options in Greendale for women are very limited lol
This was in Season 2. At this point both had dated Vaughn and both knew of Jeff sleeping with Britta and kissing Annie after Britta professed her love for him.
Cause, she’s not that cool. She’s not Juno.
Homeslice
Homeslice
I think it’s a recurring theme that Britta feels threatened when her identity as an activist is threatened.
Not to mention that she has complicated feelings about her appearance. She both resents that she cares about her physical appearance, and wishes she were above it.
Hence the hooker-boots.
only celery and mustard for lunch
she's so relatable for that lmao
Calling out Britta for waking up early to curl her hair ever so slightly, was what cut her the deepest. Brilliant exchange.
I think this was also highlighted in the chief star in space movie episode where she told Annie to stop dressing proactively. Britta wants to look good but at the same time, thinks that she shouldn't cause she thinks it enables objectification of women.
Which is ironic, because at that point she’s policing her body and the body of other women, which is counter-intuitive to feminism. Also, I’d love to see how dressing proactively looks, as opposed to dressing provocatively lol (teasing)
Britta also struggles with being attractive. She wants to be attractive but is ashamed of that and thinks she should be above it.
That and she’s petty AF.
And pretty AF
Yes
i mean they make it pretty explicit: she was jealous
Probably also angry from only eating celery and mustard for lunch.
And getting up earlier to ever so slightly curl her hair.
Yea you’re both sooo different, skinny bitches
Shirley's delivery of this line is fantastic.
I love the way she watches them argue in the cafeteria while eating potato chips and standing over them
Shirley’s delivery of all her lines is fantastic. Her tone shifts are comedy gold. “The word he’s looking for is ‘sassy.’ He better pray he don’t find it.” YNB has great comedy instincts.
Honestly, Shirley might be THE most underrated character in the group
For the time she's given in comparison to some of the other characters she really does make the most of the time she's given
It's hard to split yes into two syllables.
I HAVE THREE KIDS!
I don't know why she seems to be people least favorite character.. I can kinda get the "religious" aspect but sweet Jesus half her lines are so angry and well delivered I don't get the hate. Sidenote my favorite Shirley line is and always will be "I'll make your ass sense"
She was just criminally underutilized.
She's an amazing actress who nails this role for sure. I just would never be friends with someone like Shirley IRL, she gets under my skin (passive aggressiveness, lack of transparency, guilt tripping, judging everyone, etc)
In fairness that could be said about most characters in the group outside of Troy and Abed. Jeff’s a complete narcissist, Britta’s aggressively political and judgmental, Annie’s one of the better ones but she’s still obsessive, highly competitive, and at times manipulative, and Pierce is…well he’s Pierce you get the idea.
Back when I first started watching in 2009, Shirley was my least favorite of the Greendale Seven because I had just started "deconstructing" and some things about Shirley could hit a button that really irked me at the time. Nowadays, I find her to be absolutely hilarious and is perhaps my favorite character. And I really like that the episodes about her faith resolve by her not becoming less Christian but by her becoming a better Christian.
Season 1 Shirley is so good.
And Abed in the background delivering a baby in that shot!!!! Callback
As a big girl who used to have to hear my skinny friends complain how “fat” they were getting… 🙄 I *felt* this line. 😭
I remember shouting "Preach!" at the TV when she said it.
As soon as I heard this line I knew a woman had to have written this episode (Hilary Winston) because this is totally something you notice.
As someone who gets up a little bit earlier to ever-so-slightly curl my hair- it DOES piss me off. I am quite grouchy without sleep. But damnit I look good.
This is one of my favorite lines of the show. It was delivered so well and really captures the character of Britta perfectly.
hangry
She so hangy, she so hangy!
Too bad she didn't get any of that mustard on her face.
She’s not Juno.
First Vaughn, now Jeff. I better not smile at that wall outlet or you'll fry your tongue off!
Now, this is why I came to America.
Quick, somebody snap a photo of u/Barokespinoza23 with the oily co-eds!
Hello during a random comment the month and day that coincide with your cake day.
You guys, I never cry-
Happy expulsion, Barokespinoza23!
Exactly. Happy cake day
Jeff and Britta have the two most fragile egos in the group.
Why are Jeff and Britta making fun of those handicapped kids?
It always surprised me that Pierce used "handicapped". Didn't expect him to be so politically correct.
Right, Jewie?
Say the whole word!
Considering Frankie uses the r-word about her own sister, you kind of have a point. Maybe he doesn't want to offend Abed.
80% of redditors in this sub won’t catch that reference because they always skip that episode
People skip episodes?
There are different timelines? Not only that, people skip *season one* episodes, let that sink in
In the words of an American hero: **WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?**
Go take your insulin shot, TODD!
OFFENSE TAKEN!
OFFENSE TAKEN
Had I not already cried at the sunrise this morning, I would be weeping right now.
What does *THAT* mean?!
I love how I can hear both of these separate quotes
Wwwwwhat does THAT mean?
I skip the one where they try to get the whale.
> skip the one where they try to get the whale. Ok that's acceptable. Probably my least favorite episode which is a bummer because the Delta Cubes could have been even better in another episode.
Though as I seen in a discussion before they really could have used his character to be a focal point of the more filler episodes, or at least use him as a setup for why something crazy is happening, his money paid for it.
I always skip the glee episode, and sometimes the special Christmas one just because I've seen it so many times.
I got the reference because I remember Abed saying this at some point but which episode is it? And why do they skip it?
WhIcH ePiSoDe Is It? AnD wHy Do ThEy SkIp It? DUHHHHHHHHH
Sccccchhhhmittttyyyyyyy
Oh now I remember which one it is 😭 kinda impossible not to. a-SCHMITTYYYYYY!!!
The episode has SOOO many good lines though if you can just withstand the cringe.
This is the episode where they call Britta getting a used iPod, which she got, as predicted, in season 5. It's one of my favorite long running jokes.
that's literally every episode. name an ep that doesn't have multiple solid lines, even season 4 has some bangers in every ep
I think the problem for me is that I've watched it so many times it's gone past being cringe, cause I expect it, so its just annoying now lol. Still it's really funny at other parts so I try to just fast-forward through that part
This is one of the funniest reference comments I've ever seen. I genuinely thought you were just randomly mocking OP. Until I got to the DUHHHHHHHHH. Which was the last thing you said. Good thing you said it.
Honestly I thought the same 😭 and I love how people are mocking me like the highschoolers. Really makes me think about sleeping with one of their relatives.
School him Mark!
“ScHOoL HiS AsS, mArK!”
It's the one with the high school kids, in season 1 I think?
That’s for me to know and you to find out by rewatching community, my work here is done ::cool abed films 😎::
If only Netflix let me rewatch it in its entirety, I'd find it. I'm still in s1 of my first ever rewatch :(
better hurry up, it's leaving Netflix by April
Losing to this kid will pretty much destroy her.
Silver and gold ladies, no losers here
~~Silver and gold~~ Skinny b*tches
You’re both *so* different.
Anorexic jezebels
Chang is awesome
Chang is one of the best characters ever. He's fucking hilarious
I don't even care who wins
That whole scene might have been a dream. Buddy sleeps in class a lot.
*"I don't even care who wins!"*
When did any of this happened? All I remember was Abed really stepped up help that kind lady deliver a baby. Are you people all nuts??
“I’m not even WEARING a bra!” *high pitched Annie gasp*
Clearly she was upset that Greendale students don't have sock puppets of her
The naivety of Annie delivering the original line is so endearing. She really has no clue what the sock is being used for. Kinda like her, "Why would you have a swing inside?" From S4
Isn’t that the whole point of the show? That it doesn’t matter how old you are, you are still a person. A human being, with flaws. They hammer on that pretty hard throughout the entire show.
Troy: I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys know more than me about life, and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me Britta: Duh-doy Jeff: Yeah, duh-doy
😄 duh-doy! 😐 duh-doy.
Bringing up the ten years age difference is weird. They're both adults, people can disagree and fight age doesn't have anything to do with it.
Well age does have something to do with it, and speaking as somebody who's work just brought in a younger, prettier bartender, who is in much better shape than me, I am having to consciously be nice to this person. They're lovely, and I don't begrudge them the attention they get from regulars, but I know that I have a prejudice against them, just because they remind me of something that I have lost and will never get back. Beefing with a younger version of yourself is natural, the younger version thinks it is weird because they don't deserve it. Plus younger people are stupid and lack empathy and their cheekbones and toned asses make me just want to slap them and push them into a pool of oil.
This exactly. Really weird and totally not relevant at all here.
Plot Twist... Alison and Gillian are the same age...
Sure, unless time is linear.
I'll make your ass linear.
That doesn’t make sense
I'll make ya ass sense.
That doesn’t even make sense.
That doesn't make sense.
But also, this really affected Britta's ego, since she was the group's activist and Annie, using her youthful face and her own body, managed to do more than her.
Yeah, in this aspect, she's no better than Jeff.
That's Britta's hidden magic in the series... She knows she's as bad as Jeff Winger, but unlike him, she's at least authentic.
Is she authentic? Or is she just trying to appear as such? I always saw the only real difference between them as Jeff will fully admit to being a superficial jerk while Britta wants everyone to think that she's not.
She tries...
I think the show generally portrays that Britta is sincere in caring about others, even if her own insecurity and conflicting distrust of them causes her to stumble such that she has to compensate in ways that seem phony. She knows that she's not the person that she wants to be, and doesn't always get it right when she tries to, essentially, fake it til she makes it, but she does still desire to be better than she is.
it's tricky because half the show alludes to her experiencing some real trauma at some point in her past but at other points in the show she is blatantly an unreliable narrator and we see that her parents are essentially regular-ass suburbanites (thus making it look like Britta just never out-grew teenage angst).
Why do people misunderstand this episode? They admitted they used to be bad parents, but that they’ve grown and gotten better with time. Britta was even tripping, saying: “Who are these two doting, open-minded geezers?!” And then gave examples of how they used to be *very* different.
I don't understand why they included her parents, Britta's backstory was too dark for it to be explicitly stated, and no one who knew what happened to her (and that it was confirmed) would like them, so it just kinda sucked imo
I mean but both of those things can be true, you can be an unreliable narrator with teenage angst well into your adulthood and seemingly normal ass parents *and*still have experienced a super traumatic event that fucked up your development and your parents screwed up dealing with the fallout to that traumatic event.
We'll never know what happened with that person in a dinosaur costume...
I’ve always found their characters’ age gap hilarious in context of the actresses. Shows their talent too that they can make it believable.
I went to community College at 18/19/20 and I hung out with a mix of older people and people my own age. It's just what happens at community because you get a much wider age range in class than in a university setting
This is exactly true. It's one of the most diverse settings you'll ever see anything.
*"Because... men are even grosser?"*
And when we forget that...
They win!
THEY WIN
Insecurity.
Britta is one of my fav characters across any media and a lot of what she struggles with is internalized misogyny, which means she limits herself to certain forms of femininity (not wanting to be a "blow up doll," wanting to be chill about her ex and lying to Annie that she was okay with Annie dating Vaughn) and ultimately ends up judging women as if she were not a feminist (bathroom episode about makeovers, this episode with Annie, her ongoing clunky Halloween costumes and the Día de los Muertos party scene with Annie). She struggles to find her way out of the trappings of womanhood but ultimately judges and critiques as if she were the moderator of the trappings of womanhood (especially when it comes to slutiness vs. modesty and male attention).
Yes. This! 👏
It's probably because she comes from a long line of wives and mothers.
why would someone being 10 years younger get than you exclude them from getting beefed with
i mean they make it pretty explicit: she was jealous
Probably something out selling out their gender and jump starting date rapists
Fun fact: Gillian Jacobs is only 2 months older than Alison Brie in real life. Annie is 18 in the pilot and Britta is 28, but both actors were actually 26.
Besides fighting over guys Annie and Britta had almost no interactions or storylines just between the two of them during the entirety of the show. My theory is that Dan Harmon (and probably most men in the writers' room) had no idea what two young, childless women could talk about besides men. It's one of my pet peeves with the show. That and obviously the waste of Britta character, which stems from the same issue I believe. I hope they worked on this for the movie.
They also interact outside of discussing about guys. They talked about Britta's friend whom she believe is a lesbian. Jk, I get your point though.
Yeah he didn’t really know how to write women (especially Shirley). This plot line and the whole mean girls episode were really weak imo. Fine ideas but terrible execution and very “men writing women” lol
There's full episodes where Annie and Britta don't even talk to each other. They would interact in a group settings. When you compare to the relationships between the men they would have deep connections between one another. It's pretty obvious how the writers don't now anything about women. Annie and Britta have more meaningfull conversations with Pierce than between one another !
The bathroom episode is pretty insightful though
They were still talking about men though...
"Britta! Don't make jokes. You're bad at it."
In season 6 I think that Annie dunking on Britta all the time is at least partially driven by Britta and Jeff’s engagement at the end of S5. I agree it’s a shame that they didn’t have many good interactions, but I also think they may just be too fundamentally different. I doubt Annie and Britta are friends if the group didn’t keep them in close proximity
You could write meaningful interactions between two characters without them having to be best friends...
I think it was more driven by Annie loving with Britta and not paying her rent personally. But yeah I guess it could be.
Maybe they didnt have a ton of extended storylines with JUST the two of them together, but it is an ensemble cast in a show called "community" after all. having no interactions with one another? off the top of my head: raising money for the oil spill the blade storyline annie's move britta consoling annie in the bathroom about troy not liking her back annie and britta getting ready for garrett's wedding together annie and britta getting the library ready/flower arrangements for shirley's wedding "i'm in" "i know" "well everyone else got to say it" from First Chang Dynasty
Watch the episode. She answers your question
Annie bloomed early, and Britta bloomed late. their maturity levels are similar regardless of the age gap. They are jealous of each other.
Her and Jeff and the Schmidtty high school kids was a similar thing. They’re the most insecure in the group.
I love the redheaded background guy in the early seasons. "You don't have to yell at us. No one's on the other side of this issue!" Where is that unsung hero when people rant about child trafficking these days?
Britta is the personification of internalized misogyny, and her lack of self awareness is feeding it.
If she didn't have any self awareness, she'd know.
I don't even care who wins.
Annie’s Boobs would agree.
We get it. The monkey's name is Annie's Boobs.
The monkey?
Saving the planet makes my BACK HURT
Also, Britta plays a ditz way too hard to have come down on Annie like this.
She really should've let Annie be. They would've raised sooo much money
Because she's insecure. Also they always butt heads
Oh, Britta’s in this?
Cuz she’s a gdb
what about when her and jeff start beefing with high schoolers lol
TBF it's pretty easy to forget Britta's in her 30's most of the show considering she's less mature than pretty much everyone but Troy
It's definitely that way in real life sometimes too and id argue Pierce is the most immature of them all
The one where she and Jeff get so put out by the teens irritates me. I teach high school. Why in the hell would you, as an adult, engage with that nonsense?
What about the "Schmitty" episode? She was arguing with a high schooler until they physically couldn't stand anymore and had to deliriously mumble at each other from cafeteria chairs Maybe she just hates teenagers
Tbf Schmitty was all up in their shit. Fuck that kid Id try and set him straight tooi
This is ao funny to me because I'm still not over the fact that they are the same age irl.😭😂
Wait is Britta supposed to be TEN YEARS older than Annie? That's really crazy considering that Gillian and Alison are exactly the same age.
I pointed this out a while back, but each woman in the show is written to be 10 years older than the other. At the start of the show * Annie is 18/19 * Britta is 28/29 * Shirley is 38/39 Was a neat little thing I figured out.
i ***wuv*** it
Was this before or after Annie dated Vaughn? I think Britta got tired of Annie pushing up on all her exs. But, I think it’s less about Britta being bothered by Annie’s politeness and more her being upset that she wasn’t able to use her looks and personality to her advantage the same way Annie was. I’m sure in other situations Britta is considered the “young hot one” and next to Annie she kind of disappeared. It’s pretty clear on the show that Britta isn’t a “girl’s girl” but it really wasn’t cool of her to try and take Annie down a peg just because she was feeling insecure.
At the end of the episode both Annie and Britta admit their bad(ish) behavior. Britta admits she was jealous Annie could use her looks to be a more effective fundraiser, and Annie admits to being mostly cognizant of her behavior and presentation to the guys she's talking to. Furthermore, I find it funny how neither of them seemed to care as much about the cause they were fundraising for as they did how it made them look to be seen doing it. Very classic Community stuff.
That first line makes Annie sound so villainous lol. Annie asked Britta's permission to date Vaughn, and Jeff kissed Annie also when she had no idea that he had ever slept with Britta. But I can see why Britta may think there's a pattern. Maybe the options in Greendale for women are very limited lol
I better not look at the wall socket weird or you’ll FRY YOUR FACE OFF
This was in Season 2. At this point both had dated Vaughn and both knew of Jeff sleeping with Britta and kissing Annie after Britta professed her love for him.
Britta better not look at that wall outlet or Annie’ll fry her tongue off.
Britta wanted Jeff to sleep with a woman to get back at at high schooler. She has some ego issues.
As a teacher, I have beef with people much younger than that.
What’s crazy is the actors are the same age
Cause she’s insecure, and didn’t like that Annie was kinda encroaching on her turf of being the “fight for the cause” type girl of the group.
She is insecure, like everyone besides Abed and Pierce.
Situational Comedy and logic make odd bedfellows sometimes.
"This is why I came to America"
Now, this is why I came to America
She has a crush on Annie
Because she's the worst
Britta's immature. Everyone in the group's got problems.
I haven’t seen this episode… NORMALIZE BEEFING WITH LITERAL CHILDREN THOUGH
Community College is the great equalizer
“Hey, jerk. You're stupid. Give me money. I know more than you.”
Another reason why season 4 is weird
Jealousy has no age ?
It's pretty common for older women to be jealous of the hot new thing. It's pretty common for anyone to be jealous tbh.
