I didn't know about it until people on the internet started talking about that! I'm so slow that I didn't really put it together. Thanks for watching!

Has a lover ever wrote you a poem beginning: "Gillian, Gillian, one in a million..."
Ice-Town132 karma
So just how excited are you about tomorrow night? On a scale of 1 to Chang?
JustForGillian105 karma
Made this account just to tell you you're awesome! I love Community and Britta's my favourite character. Not many people interact with their fans as much as the cast of Community seem to and I love that about you.
My question for you would be if you could have one person guest direct an episode who would it be?
GillianJacobs200 karma
- Thank you! (love your username)
- I think a Wes Anderson episode of Community might be phenomenal.
bdubaya103 karma
(same question from the last thread, but it was late)
I've been hearing a lot about the effects of Chang-tongue on set. Do you or anyone else in the cast have other tricks to make people laugh during filming?
GillianJacobs199 karma
Donald has been known to flash his butt. Joel has an incredibly high butt crack so it is always showing. Danny and Alison make each other laugh all the time and then they can't stop.

Ever do the robot by the microwave while waiting for your food to cook? It's a great way to pass the time.

I love you dearly! If you could write an episode of Community, what would it be about? Also, if you could say you love me back, it would make my life.
Keep up the awesome work on the show!!!
GillianJacobs131 karma
Not the actual class but more of her psych skills at work- for sure
GillianJacobs124 karma
I only bought them once. They are too delicious. Very, very dangerous.
StephenR7771 karma
Hi again Gillian. I asked this question earlier but you may have missed it: was Alison's vocals modified for "Teach Me How to Understand Christmas"? I'm assuming they were but it's something I've been wondering for a while.
Oh, and just how awesome was Taran Killam in that episode?
GillianJacobs109 karma
That is all Ali! She has an amazing voice.
TARAN KILLAM ROCKED IT. His super creepy look to Abed right before the pageant had me crying with laughter.
GillianJacobs128 karma
Did you see the trailer for season 3.5 ? Britta def got high on Peyote. :)
DreamingMerc60 karma
Is Britta the kind of character who reads Catcher In the Rye, and takes it way too seriously?
GillianJacobs234 karma
She probably thinks it only speaks to the male experience. Maybe she has read a feminist retelling of it.
silentmeowth60 karma
Do you identify with Britta? and is there anything you can spoil for tommorow ;D
GillianJacobs100 karma
MJW dances. I identify with Britta, for sure! I mess things up all the time. I trip. I bump into things. I pronounce words incorrectly.
YC1991657 karma
If you could pick. What film/tv series would you like Community to honour with an Homage ?
GillianJacobs159 karma
Maybe a daytime soap! What if we did a Days of Our Lives-style episode?
thesmash51 karma
How was it working on Seeking a Friend for the End of the World with Keira Knightley? Is she cool? Also, you're cool.
GillianJacobs78 karma
She's super cool. I had so much fun. I got to work with her, TJ Miller and Steve Carell. What's not to like?
GillianJacobs77 karma
Mattress Factory and Spice Island Tea House (does that still exist?)
Moon-Base48 karma
Madame Jacobs. Would you support the construction of a permanent Moon-base?
We already have an exotic dance club, a zagat rated restaurant, a five star hotel and at least five hundred pounds of cocaine.
Also grocery store conveyor belts.
Spydarlee46 karma
With Abed as the catalyst, which TV show/movie/fictional world would you most like to see Community do a crossover episode with?
ETroyandEAbed46 karma
Does your family's brewery still exist? (I'm a recent transplant to the State College, PA area.)
LukeIsHear40 karma
Great job on the show! I just have one question. What type of music do you listen to? Keep up the great work!
GillianJacobs117 karma
I know next to nothing about music! Like Britta- I listen to a lot of NPR podcasts. Lame, I know.
njs4239 karma
I am currently writing an essay for a Political Social Movements class and I reckon Britta was at the Battle of Seattle in '99. Is this true?
Freedon38 karma
At a Childish Gambino concert last year in April in LA, I had an opportunity to take a picture with you and Yvonne. It was a surreal moment and I was completely starstruck to have a picture with the cast of my favorite show on television.
Just wanted to let you know, that you guys (+ the concert and getting to hug Danny Pudi) made that night one of the most memorable nights of my life. Keep up the good work.
GillianJacobs56 karma
Thank you! Glad you had the chance to get a picture with us. Thanks for watching the show!
KosstAmojan34 karma
Just watched your outtake reel. You should be banned from putting those on DVDs - it makes the rest of our jobs pale in comparison.
Question: I'm going to Alison Brie's show in NYC this coming April on my bday. How's her singing and how can I get her to take a picture with me?
GillianJacobs70 karma
Her singing is excellent. Ask politely! That is usually the best way.
Crystalyze1426 karma
How do you feel about Britta's changing character over the last three seasons? Going from the strong sarcastic (basically the female Jeff with a love for Radiohead and vegan dishes) to more slapsticky, silly humour?
nikkitheferret24 karma
No question - Just wanted to say I love Community and you are such a fantastic (and hilarious) part of it! Thanks so much!
MackLuster7723 karma
What's your favorite non-television type performance? I heard you on a couple of Pod F Tompkasts, and I thought you were great.
GillianJacobs41 karma
Thanks! I grew up doing theater so I relish any chance to be in front of a live audience. Thrilling Adventure Hour, the Paul F Tompkins show at Largo, etc.
mouthpiecejet22 karma
Are we going to see more community on The Soup? And how are Jim Rash's abs?
Skinnera19 karma
Gillian, what you know about Ukraine?) I'm from Odessa, Ukraine and there are many Community fans. we love you and all people who work at Community. Thanks for work!
GillianJacobs31 karma
I don't know a lot about the Ukraine but I bet it is wonderful. Thank you for watching!
bongobill982119 karma
First off, you've become one of my favourite characters in the show.
Since Community, it seems that you have now headed down the path of comedy, with the upcoming Steve Carell movies and popping up on comedy podcasts like Comedy Bang Bang. Would you ever decide to go back to doing drama, or is comedy the path you're going to stick to?
Was there any real reason you're character needed a British accent in Helena from the Wedding? (Not that it was a bad one)
GillianJacobs28 karma
- Would love to do a drama again.
- The character was written as British. The director's wife is British so maybe that is why. Also maybe it made her seem even more different and alienated from that friend group. She really was an outsider.
GillianJacobs63 karma
A few movies. Did a voice on Robot Chicken and one on Venture Brothers. Made a short film in Cleveland. Did a little sketch for the TV show of Comedy Bang Bang.
i_eversaw16 karma
Hey Gillian! Currently watching season 2. What's an insider easter egg that you can share so I can feel special knowing something while watching one of the episodes?
EquipDeadFish8 karma
What comedy were you into growing up and had you done much of it before the show?
GillianJacobs29 karma
Monty Python, Kids in the Hall, Absolutely Fabulous, Are You Being Served
pkabbabe3 karma
How long did you practice "hit me with your genies bottle" before doing it on the show to make sooo natural?
GillianJacobs434 karma
I am off. Sorry again that I can't answer everyone's questions. You guys are awesome. Sorry I somehow managed to Britta this AMA. AGAIN. :(
