Aubrey Plaza sparks memes after pretending to read a book during WNBA finals

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

The Community star, 40, had courtside seats for the match and pretended to read a book as the action took place just inches away from her.

She pretended to be deep in the book, turning the pages at high speed as the camera focused on her.

Aubrey – who looked stunning at the Megalopolis premiere – sighed heavily, in a way that only Aubrey can, and looked up as if it bothered her.

Ellie the Elephant, Freedom’s mascot, called her bluff and ran over to kiss her, causing the White Lotus star to close her book and smile.

Fans went wild over Aubrey’s performance, sharing funny comments and memes within moments of videos of the incident hitting X (formerly Twitter).

One person shared a video of Aubrey looking like the proverbial cat that ate the canary and captioned it, “This is the right response.”

Merriam Webster’s Dictionary even got in on the jokes, tweeting, “For a moment we thought she was reading us.”

Someone else saw herself writing in Aubrey, “I felt every time the football coach/dean/history teacher yelled at me to get up during a pep rally.

“Instead of Jason Sudekis tapings, we need broadcasts going to Aubrey Plaza, but she does a different activity every time it appeals to her,” one fan offered.

“Exactly what I would do in a WNBA game without CC,” one person wrote, referring to Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.

At the end of the match, Aubrey and her friend stood up and the Dirty Grandpa star turned from the crowd.

‘She knew where the camera was and looked straight into it. Pro move,” one wrote, while another said, “This is the most Aubrey Plaza thing ever.”
