As a seasoned theater enthusiast who has watched my fair share of performances, I must admit that Aubrey Plaza’s antics at the WNBA game left me utterly captivated! The way she effortlessly played to the camera, knowing exactly where it was, reminded me of a seasoned stage actress. It was as if she was performing in real life, and I couldn’t help but admire her ability to multitask so gracefully.


Aubrey Plaza delighted fans at the Game 1 of the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty WNBA finals.

As a fervent admirer, I found myself, at the tender age of 40, perched courtside, seemingly engrossed in a book. Yet, the electrifying action happening just inches away was impossible to ignore.

She appeared completely absorbed in the book, swiftly flipping through its pages as the camera zeroed in on her.

At the Megalopolis premiere, Aubrey, looking radiant, let out a deep sigh, one unique to her, and gazed upward, giving the impression of being troubled.

In a playful turn of events, Ellie the Elephant, the beloved mascot of Liberty, approached the actress from White Lotus and planted a kiss on her. This unexpected action caused the actress to shut her book and break into a smile.

Audience members couldn’t contain their excitement over Aubrey’s performance, quickly posting humorous remarks and memes as soon as clips from the event appeared on X (previously known as Twitter).

One person shared a video of Aubrey looking like the proverbial cat that ate the canary and captioned it, ‘This is the correct reaction.’ 

Merriam-Webster’s dictionary joined the fun with a tweet that said, “We almost thought she was addressing us directly.

Another person could have written, ‘It reminded them of myself whenever the football coach, dean, or history teacher scolded me to stand up during a school spirit event.’

A fan suggested that instead of showing Jason Sudekis’ shots, the broadcast should switch to Aubrey Plaza, but each time it does, she’s engaged in a different activity.

One X user aptly said, ‘When you’re trying to read a book and there’s a basketball game going on,’ while sharing a shot of Aubrey looking annoyed that her reading was interrupted.  

Someone mentioned they would be doing the same thing as if they were attending a WNBA game featuring Indiana Fever’s Caitlin Clark, but without closed captioning available.

As the game concluded, Aubrey along with her companion rose from their seats, and the actor famously known as Dirty Grandpa made an obscene gesture towards the crowd.

An X user shared a photo of that moment and captioned it, ‘The Liberty may have lost game one last night but I have this video of Aubrey Plaza forever.’

Still other fans called out the Agatha All Along star’s acting talent. 

One individual commented, ‘She knew exactly where the camera was and gazed straight at it. Great tactic,’ while another stated, ‘This is the epitome of Aubrey Plaza-like behavior.’ (In a more informal style: One person said, ‘She totally knew where the camera was and gave it a direct stare. Smart move,’ while another exclaimed, ‘This is so Aubrey Plaza-ish!’)

‘Aubrey’s out here multitasking and we love to see it,’ another person pointed out.

At a WNBA match, you might expect them to introduce her as an actress on the large screens, said someone else.
