Aubrey Plaza Isn’t Mocking You, She Swears

SURE, Aubrey Plaza, we WAY believe you when you claim you’re being genuine and not sarcastic. That sounds EXACTLY like something you’d say. No, really, I actually do believe you: my Caps Lock key got stuck. Anyway, Plaza spoke to the New York Times (OK, Grey Lady, I bet you got ALL the news that’s fit to print — now, that’s sarcasm) about her new movies, About Alex (a.k.a. hipster Big Chill) and Life After Beth; Parks and Recreation; and being the eyeroll, personified.

You’re so sarcastic that it’s sometimes difficult to tell when you’re being sincere.

Believe me, it’s a bigger problem for me. I don’t even know when I’m being serious or not. I can’t tell how I truly feel about anything.

Can your friends or family tell when you’re being genuine with them?

Sometimes. I think it’s just the tone of my voice that throws people off. Zooey Deschanel recently told me, “Everything that you say to someone sounds like you’re mocking them.” I was like, “But I’m not.” And she was like, “Even when you just said that, it sounded like you were mocking me.”

Plaza’s basically a Simpsons joke come to life.

There are worse things to be.
