“Sluttery feels so negative”: The “Broad City” women explain where they draw

“Sluttery feels so negative”: The “Broad City” women explain where they draw the lineNew York Magazine followed the two stars as they encountered a fan with some unsolicited comedy advice““Broad City’s” wildly funny co-creators Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer have blessed our television screens with some excellently raunchy moments — from “pegging” to peeing out condoms to “pussy weed.” At times, it may seem like there’s no place they won’t go to achieve their signature “barebones-honest” brand of comedy.But, in fact, there are a few places. New York Magazine’s March 9 cover story on Jacobson and Glazer helps distinguish the creators from their creation. That in mind: It’s not totally surprising that some fans are unable to detach these women from their on-screen personas. Take for example, Lauren, the fan in the profile who encounters Jacobson and Glazer out in the wild and can’t resist serving up some unsolicited comedy suggestions.  At first, Glazer seems really responsive to the feedback and, maybe, genuinely into it (?) but things escalate quickly and before the two know it, Lauren is pitching some jokes that Glazer feels totally uncomfortable with as a white person. They cross the line.Her last idea is to put a “fun” spin on the n-word — a cringe-worthy suggestion that prompts Glazer to explain that she’s “white as fuck” and would feel uneasy including that in her show. (Plus, as author Jada Yuan points out, “tiny black people” is a topic that had already been delegated to Donald Glover to address on the show.)“Can you say ‘cuntastic’?” (No.) “Can you say ‘cuntery’?” (No.) “Can you say ‘sluttery’?”“We could, but I don’t want to,” says Glazer. “Sluttery feels so negative,” says Jacobson.“I mean, I like sluts,” says Glazer. “Well, it was awesome meeting you! Thank you so much for all of this material.”The profile, which you can read in full here, is a fascinating examination of this line that the two friends and business partners grapple with every day while navigating the comedy world.”Read the full piece hereLove this show! Looking forward to a new episode tonight. -- source link
