Day Eight: Female Character Meme
Mar. 14th, 2011 11:14 pmDay Eight: Favorite female character in a comedy show: Annie Edison
Annie is not the type of character I usually go fangirly over: she's perky, rather sexually repressed, and almost naïve at times in the ways she sees the world. Yet I find myself utterly charmed by everything she does. Even among a wonderfully bizarre and hilarious cast of characters, there's a kind of intense earnesstness about Annie that frequently makes her stand out, and in a group that includes the douchey cynicism of Jeff and the sheer trainwreck that is Pierce, it's nice to have Annie occasionally be the group's consciousness.
A large part of it is in the sheer genius of Allison Bree's performance. It would be easy to make an occasionally moralizing overachiever with past addiction issues and the dress sense of a ten-year-old into an annoying, OTT stereotype, but she plays Annie's quirkiness just right.
Just check out this clip of Annie and Abed playing D&D.
And for anyone who isn't: watch Community!
