Sometimes I find myself wondering what it is about Annie Edison.  I mean, obviously Alison Brie is some sort of magic creation in a lab because no one can possibly be so funny, charming, and sexy all at once just by an accidental quirk of nature, some sort of twisted science must be involved, right?  But Annie Edison seems to be part of her appeal, that character has caught the imagination.  I mean, I don’t see a bunch of Trudy Campbell gifs all over the internet and Mad Men is a great show as well as Community, just different.  I guess part of it must lie in the fact that sitcoms always, by necessity have to play with comedic archetypes.  The sort of repressed A personality type who is naive and innocent while possessing a clearly high sex drive is certainly a subset of the classic type and I think it might have a special appeal to nerds.  Maybe there is some easy fantasy fodder in the idea of the sweet, pretty girl striving near us if we can imagine secretly she’s just waiting for someone to come and sweep her off her feet and turn her into a wild animal.  Or maybe it’s just that they seem to find a way to make her boobs jiggle on the show and I am way, way over thinking this.  I like to think it’s a combination.  Lots of boobs jiggle not all of those boobs get devoted internet followings posting dozens of gifs every Friday morning (though I guess it will be Saturday now, how odd…).  I have to feel like that’s because not every set of boobs has Alison Brie’s performance behind it, the woman is undeniably attractive and undeniably skilled at what she does.  I think it’s easy to take a picture of a pretty girl and stoke some desire, it is different to be able to stoke a following out of it.  I think there has to be more appealing than the physicality of the girl for a long term passion to settle in.  I think obviously this is why Alison Brie has her legion of devotees and it is definitely why today I want to fuck Alison Brie.
