Ever since the HD trailer for Suicide Squad was released, giving us our best look at Margot Robbie’s mischievous Harley Quinn yet, Human Beings everywhere have been noting her resemblance to Britta (Gillian Jacobs) on Community. Specifically, Britta as rock ‘n’ roll magician Ricky Nightshade’s assistant, a.k.a. Goth Britta, in season three’s “The First Chang Dynasty.”
Basically, they both look like Hot Topic customers, with smeared makeup, pigtails, and scanty costumes. The Dean might be disappointed that “Britta’s in this,” but Harley looks like the best reason to see Suicide Squad so far. Here’s what people on Tumblr and Twitter — or the same fanbase that’s still disappointed Alison Brie isn’t playing Captain America — are saying.

Does the new Harley Quinn look like Britta from community, or am I just being weird.

WHO IS THIS MARGOT ROBBIE AND WHY IS BRITTA FROM COMMUNITY PLAYING HARLEY QUINN?

Also I support Margot Robbie's decision to play Harley Quinn as basically Britta from Community

Britta has her organization; Harley’s got a squad.
