When did Natasha Lyonne become a 100 year old New York Italian woman?

The "Taylor Pant."

In real life, is she more like this person in the commercials, or like the girl in American Pie?

They're so different.

That's just her voice. She's like Norm MacDonald acting litan old man. She likes New Yawkas, she's proud of it, its her identity. I like it.

She's never done a thing for me. Not only that, but I've never liked anything she's been in.

I guess I just don't "get" her.

That's how she talks

Wow, so she was actually acting in American Pie.

Watch Russian Doll too. She’s doing something with that role. I think she’s trying to be Joe Pesci AND Carole Burnett simultaneously. It’s kinda fascinating.

I don't care I like her. Like seeing a rough but funny New York dude in broad's body.

Talk about ugly

I love her. She’s a bit extra sometimes, but who cares.

Knock knock.

Natasha Lyonne.

[italic]Natasha Lyonne who?[/italic]

Just kidding, she’s not here. She’s in the hospital with Hepatitis C.

Knock knock

Who’s there?

Ugly-ass bitch with no neck

Bingo, bango. Just own it!

I’ve always thought she was adorable.

I love her and that's how she talks.

OP, I love Natasha, and I will cut you for saying anything negative about her!

Old Navy is a great place to get cheap clothes to hack around in around the house. Especially since places like Penneys have had a major mass exodus. I never find Target clothes or even most Walmart things that great.

I like old Navy and Penney’s too.

Love her!

She's definitely exaggerating the accent. I used to love her but sometime after Orange is the New Black she became annoying. I'd love to see her play a character without the heavy accent.

But she's a cheerleader!

Thanks for the Medicare

OP = Tara Reid

I still cannot fathom the notion that she is not a lesbian

I thought she was supposed to be a NYC 70s V.I. Warshawski without the shoe fetish - “You’re a loose cannon!” “You can’t handle the truth!” Type of shit.

Young Natasha Lyonne is the cutest thing

How can someone as tiny as Natasha look like she has a hunchback?

Those Old Navy outfits basically show every curve on her body, and she really does have bad posture.

What's she say at the very end after she says "Thanks, they're Old Navy"?

Millennium? Mullulala?

^ "Brilliant", I think.

I put on the Closed Captioning on my YouTube, and the last word in the video is "Brilliant."

This whole "own it" when someone compliments you on your clothes, is such a weird concept.

I don't get what it has to do with anything.

She makes me cringe and I'm not entirely sure why. Her whole schtick seems fake and played out. I avoid any shows with her in them.

R17 they usually last for 2-3 washings, too.

Old Navy, just wear it! 🚬

Met her once—not very polite.

There’s currently a thread on the Movies subreddit about actors who ‘always come across as themselves’ regardless of whatever role they’re in. She’s high on the list. She’s well suited for certain roles I suppose, and that’s her shtick. My main takeaway is her terrible posture.

She looks like she smells like an ashtray — inside and out.

She played herself in Orange is the New Black.

Plus, isn't she with Fred Armisen these days? The two weirdos can have each other.

I always assumed she was hitting this persona hard these days so as to try to sell herself and her series (Pokerface) as the new Columbo.

She and Fred ended things early last year.

I just wish she’d wear her real hair. She always seems to wear those heavy wigs.

R24 Or she was the most lesbionic lesbian in a past life and some things rolled over to this life? That's all I got at this point and I don’t even believe in past lives.

She’s having a small moment. She’s going to squeeze every dime, she can out of it.

She is one of those persons who radically changed looks as she aged. I didn’t see her in anything until Russian Doll and thought she was actually 10 years older.

Die...!

WDMCT?

(What Does Mindy Cohn Think?)

R24 I met a woman at a jazz club a few years ago. We were chatting at the bar. I mentioned where I live and somehow that triggered her to bring up Natasha Lyonne, who I guess maybe went to college where I live, or moved from where I live now to where this woman grew up - something. Anyway. she claimed that they were young lovers, that she was in love with Natasha and thought that Natasha was in love with her. And that Natasha later on cut her out of her life and changed when she got to Hollywood (uh, duh, yeah. that's what you do). The woman was bitter and hurt that Natasha began dating men and wouldn't respond to communication that this woman tried to get through to NL through mutual friends. Not sure if it's true or if it means that Natasha is lesbionic and closeted, or if she was just experimenting, as is normal and natural in youth, or what.

If she wasn't a lesbian before she probably became one after dating Fred Armisen

R45 your story reminded me of a notorious hookup of my youth. I showed up at the guy’s place and upon walking in took in the scene: a bit messy living room with a large screen TV playing pron and a beefy, hairy man in a jockstrap before me.

He got down on his knees and we got down to business. The pron scene on the TV eventually changed… changed to Dawson. Not his infamous weekend video, but a more tame one. I know DL’s general opinion of Dawson, but I always thought his vids were hot. Whatever.

Anyhow. While I’m fucking this guy, he starts talking about Dawson. Except he’s not talking about him as a fan would, he’s talking about him as if he’s his boyfriend. “He’s out of town, but if he was here, he’d think this is so hot” is a close-to-accurate quote. But other things he said made him sound like a deluded individual clearly separated from reality.

Total buzzkill. I faked cumming to explain the near-immediate deflation and made a quick exit. A hot shower, and a good measure of bourbon to alter my mood followed. That was at least 12 years ago and I still remember it.

Since I’ve found DL, I think I would prefer a story along the lines of that poor “Da Suck Job!” recipient.

Don’t see her as closeted. She seems to own who she is.

R46 is one of the funniest people on dl. We should put them in a chair and carry them and sing their praises. Long live R46

Old Navy is really doubling down on their horrible Natasha commercials.

I don't get the appeal, but their advertising team really seem to love her.

She's awful.

Some of her wigs lately have been veering into caricature.

Though I don’t think she’d mind that observation. She’s learned to survive through a lot, and seems to have learned how to enjoy herself.

Wait — that’s not Coco Peru?

Italian? You clearly have never been around Italians if you think that is what they sound like. Retard. She sounds JEWISH.

Let’s hope that Armisen and Lyonne never filmed their dalliances together.

I would say her new persona is the character she plays on Poker Face. All day every day. And I only saw the first episode.

Shaped like an over 80 yr old

Pulls her pants up under her arm pits

Let's see: No forehead, no neck, no talent. New Yawk accent. Rosie Perez, right?

What is her real hair like?

What's the big deal, I think her posture is just fine...

I approve!

Old Navy's marketing team needs to be fired.

The entire team.

The Natasha commercials are the worst.

Old Navy has always had funky, fucked-up commercials.

Remember Luke Perry? Remember Morgan Fairchild and Joan Collins?

Going viral like this is integral to their marketing strategy. Their budgets aren't much, and their merchandise isn't that great, so buzz is all they've got.

You're a real saucy boss!

She’d make a great Mae West

LOL R63!! I've started calling telling my pug that he's a real 'saucy boss' because of that dumb commercial that played constantly.

Keep in mind that because of all the drug use, unemployment and successive illnesses/ surgeries, she's probably up to her Old Navy high-waisters in debt. Hence her taking any and every project that comes along. Including shitty commercials for fly over pants- which is hardly on brand for her with her "I never go above 14th street" schtick.

I like her and was excited for her comeback. But now it's getting old.

The new boyfriend doesn’t go with her schtick either. He’s a divorced dad of a very young child. Conventionally handsome. Ex of Maria Bello and Nora Kirkpatrick. Considers Elon Musk a mentor. Playing step mom, doing sponsored Dunkin posts, hosting kiddie pool parties and having Musk around for dinner will sure kill her rep as cooler than ice downtown Natasha “Pesci”. What next, a surrogate baby and a minivan? I kid, I like her and I’m patiently waiting for season 2 of Poker Face but damn if her choices aren’t odd lately!
