[motherfuckingbrad]

megan ganz is the smartest woman alive because if Brad From Monetization was played by literally anyone else i would hate his stupid fucking guts for being so greedy and capitalistic and mean because that’s literally everything i’m against but because she got danny pudi to play brad i suddenly excuse every single one of his misdeeds and just want to wrap him up in a blanket and hug him to my chest. she’s brilliant

#like seriously #i hate people like that #and i get that’s kind of the joke but i would give him so much more shit #but because brad is The Danny Pudi i love him so so so so much #i say this like i would even know he existed if he wasn’t played by danny #danny is the only reason i even found out about and watched the show LOL #mq owes like half their viewers to that man alone #anyway that’s why meghan is a brilliant genius because she knew this would happen #because it’s fucking danny pudi how could you not love him yknow #<3 #mythic quest #danny pudi #brad bakshi #brad from monetization #megan ganz

Brad Bakshi blorbo bingo (excuse my alliteration)

#I think he would actually scam the phishers so that’s why I checked that one off #I thought it’d be funny #brad bakshi #mythic quest #danny pudi #mq #he’s such a silly little guy #my baby boy #I want to consume him like a void consumes light #i love him so much #he’s so dear to me #my little blorbo man #he’s so silly #I want to kick him in the shins and give him a hug #I’m going to put him in the microwave just to see him spin around like a cup of instant ramen #actively throwing him in the washing machine and putting it on a full cycle so I can watch him clatter about like he’s in a hamster wheel #(but I want to throw him delicately because he is like porcelain and I don’t want to break him) #he’s so perfect #and so emotionally damaged #i love him so dearly #my little guy #so many tags #wall of tags #i’m sorry #i deeply apologize #he’s so innocent #what crimes? #what fraud? #what murder? #he can do no wrong

PLEASE WHAT IS COMMUNITY WHO IS DANIEL PUDI 😭😭😭😭

BLASPHEMY.

anyway I forgive you because I love talking about community and Daniel Pudi

be prepared.

community is a 2009-2015 sitcom featuring a study group with a found family dynamic at a community college. the found family includes (in order of how much I like them)

ABED my bisexual autistic babygirl who likes tv, movies and buttered noodles. he is amazing and wonderful and PLAYED BY DANNY PUDI

TROY abeds low key boyfriend he's dumb he's cute he's a recovering jock he's amazing

ANNIE starts off as nerd character but becomes way cooler and fun and she once chloroformed someone

JEFF idk he's Jeff he's like an asshole but not

BRITTA stupid fake activist girl who is low key the worst

SHIRLEY I feel nothing for her she's a bit badass but mostly Christian

PIERCE token old white racist homophobic guy. yay.

yeah so the show is amazing I love it for a taste of what you're in for, there is a zombie episode, a claymation episode, two paintball episodes, two pillow fight episodes, a glee episodes, and a multiple realities episode (the most episode of anything ever). everyone should watch it.

MOVING ON TO MY HUSBAND DANNY PUDI

this is Danny Pudi. 44 yr old American actor. he also plays Brad from Mythic Quest (that's a whole other ask) and he is just the best. I can't form coherent sentences about him so idk Google him if you want more than crazy fangirlling.

if you don't like community or Danny Pudi, you'll hate my blog!! (has been described as a "Danny Pudi thirst account")

also thank you so so much for the ask i love talking about my babies

do you regret asking?

#i envy people who can form eloquent sentences when talking about their hyperfixations #i just babble #thank you for the ask! #abed nadir #community #brad bakshi #community tv show #mythic quest #asks #danny pudi #danny pudi thirst account #danny pudi is such a good actor

[umjamlam]

just read the interview danny pudi did with the last laugh, and i just have to say:

it makes me so sad to hear that he doesnt know if we like him outside of abed. yes, its his most iconic role, but ive seen so many edits and posts for his other characters!! a lot of people like him as an actor, and especially in mythic quest! and he said that he really liked playing a more villainous character and getting the chance to direct and-

i know he didn't say that he doesnt get support or anything from us fans, but he said like "i dont know if they like seeing my evil side" and the fact that he said 'i dont know' just makes me so sad because i want him to know that we adore him so much!!! he's such a wonderful actor and brad is one of my fav characters in tv history and i cant even express how thankful i am for everything danny has done

i love you danny pudi :( ♡

#umjamlam #im sorry this turned into a rant almost lol #long post #danny pudi #abed nadir #brad bakshi

[grendelsmilf]

have you seen the new mq ep? i'm so mad that they're trying to give brad depth... let him be cartoonishly evil! also hoping for dana's corruption arc. more yelling at poppy for her <3

I mean I think it’s great that they’re letting danny pudi broaden his range more, bc he’s an incredible actor who can convey more with his eyes than many actors can convey in a whole movie. and brad is clearly a very broken person. even poppy can recognize this, and she’s... well... poppy. like, brad being cartoonishly evil was very fun for him, especially because they made the brilliant decision of casting someone so charming you can’t help but root for him even though he’s a complete and utter asshole. but brad is now getting the same backstory ian got at the end of the first season when it was revealed that his father was abusive and he then abandoned his own son out of the fear of perpetuating that cycle of paternal estrangement (thus perpetuating the cycle nonetheless). he’s sympathetic now without being any less of an asshole. he’s evil enough to put profit before merit, but not evil enough to slaughter his pet (sidenote: was brad raised xtian or did his father just make him slaughter a pig as a test even tho they weren’t gonna eat it... either way, explains a lot ngl). jo, on the other hand, was established very early on as being completely remorseless, seeing as she takes pleasure in driving children to suicide, so I think this will be a good payoff to that setup, however that arc may end. but yeah, I think it’s a good thing that they’re giving brad depth, because if they cast danny pudi in the first place, it’s because they know not to waste his talent.

as for dana, I love that they’re showing that there’s a limit to how much she can actually put up with. because she’s such an angel, and so accommodating, but she’s not a doormat either. and the contrast between her and rachel, and how race plays such a (previously) unspoken role in their dynamic, which they’re establishing now is so good. I loved when poppy was like “I’m a woman of color so it’s fine” god that was good. i love how many pee oh cee on this show get to be assholes but not necessarily in a white way (whereas jo and david are assholes in an especially white way lmfao). the gag is that if rachel were being mentored by poppy and dana was being mentored by ian, both pairs would get along so much better. ian has a way of comforting people and making them feel good about themselves even when he’s blatantly exploiting them, whereas poppy and rachel are both in their comfort zone when being argumentative and confrontational, so they would probably build off of each other’s ideas really well. unfortunately, poppy is the one who knows how to code, and ian is the one who can actually grant rachel access to resources, so they’re stuck with each other. lmao

#I just want to make it clear that I literally never said that brad being given depth would be a bad thing #all I said was that he didn’t have any #which is true! #and now he does! #which is good! #and giving dana depth is EVEN BETTER #dana my angelll #it’s s2 dana being a beautiful shining force of good was fine and all but now it’s time for her to SNAP #(I mean. she’s still a beautiful shining force for good but now she has AMBITION and also RAGE. we love that for her!!!!) #mythic quest #o.tv #ask #anon #danny pudi is such a good actor where is his oscarbait vehicle!!!! WHERE !!!!! #or at the very least his community emmys.... wtf

Mythic Quest Quarantine Episode Watch Notes (SPOILERS)

Of course Brittlesby is a Gloria Estefan stan.

David Hornsby is really the unsung hero of this show, he’s crushing it.

I mean honestly this whole ensemble is fantastic, Danny Pudi and Charlotte Nicdao both need way more mainstream attention.

Nice tie-in with Blood Ocean!

How did Rob McElhenney make such a fit butt that unattractive in such a short span of time? Is Ian Grimm just radioactively unsexy? Is it because I snorted Red Bull up my nose at that shot and it just ruined the tight ass vibe?

Dana and Rachel are my least favorites of the main ensemble (except Jo) but that chip thing was super cute. They’re actually always super cute together, it’s more that I wish their characterization extended beyond being an adorable wholesome ship.

Sue’s back! Sue!!!! MY GIRL i am so happy I thought she wouldn’t be here for this ep.

Carol!!!! Carol’s back!!!!

Ian immediately cracking an obscene sex joke in front of the HR head is so on-brand.

THE MUSIC VIDEO

oh my god Charlotte Nicdao broke my heart with how excellent and uncertain and quietly despairing her face was during the vaccine programming section, I wasn’t expecting to actually tear up at Mythic Quest of all things

poppy baby I’m a workholic too I feel you so hard right now

THE DIAL UP NOISES holy shit

“It’s less sad if I can see you when I’m drinking alone.” Ouch, that rang true.

CALL HIM A NARCISSIST, POPPY, CALL HIM OUT. DRAG HIMMMM

“David, hey David, David, are we at your divorce trial right now? Because I just watched a hot Asian chick rip your heart out.”

Brad’s bare-bones extremely utilitarian apartment is so in-character.

So is Brittlesby’s home that looks like a college dorm room with art of...chairs?

How is Ian such a ridiculous garbage manipulative monster of a person and yet somehow lovable? Even when I know he’s playing Poppy, he sucks me in.

“You okay? ...can I see you, then?” ;A;

I LOVE THIS FRENEMYLATIONSHIP.

HOLY SHIT

I just cried ugly tears, Poppy’s meltdown just hit me right on that raw nerve where it hurts.

I loved that, I needed that.

Charlotte Nicdao and Rob McElhenney both do a really great job with dramatic scenes. I’d love to see both of them do them more often, even if on other projects.

Also mad props to Rob McElhenney for still inhabiting that image-obsessed bonehead archetype that Ian and Mac share but having the characterization, body language, tone of voice and emotional telegraphing be so different between the two characters.

I guess we aren’t getting Michelle this episode.

Props to Hornsby for commitment y’all

“You look like a baby turrrtle :3c” I love Sue so much guys

Oh my god that ending bit was SO CUTE, I was gleefully cheering along with them.

#mythic quest #ian you ridiculous creature #dinner party~*~* #zero nazis is the target number of nazis #i own you #nymphdaddy #kids at work kids at home #dana and rachel #let me noodle

[motherfuckingbrad]

From watching the dvd commentary for community I learned that Abed is addicted to lip balm because Danny Pudi is and they needed to have a cover or explanation if the addiction to lip balm ever accidentally didn’t get cut out in the editing room. (Actually I’m pretty sure it’s addictive because I remember a study and I myself have been for over 10 years 😬)

But like Rosa Diaz, Brad would like nobody to know anything about him but like eventually somehow the collection of empty lip balms get discovered or like someone finds him in a closet applying it because he’s too paranoid to do it without hiding anyway it’s just super funny and weird but yeah I think that should happen in the show

wait i love this

brad being an anxious mess just like me is something very near and dear to my heart

also did not know this abt danny or abed or that there was dvd commentary so feel free (pls) to share any and every little detail of info (if you want to ofc, i’m just very lazy) because i love it so much

i also love the idea of david trying to clean out brad’s desk before he gets back from jail <3 because he wants the office to be nice for him and he just discovers like an entire drawer of empty lip balm tubes because brad was too anxious to be seen throwing them away again and again in fear someone would catch on and think he’s weird

#he is weird #but that’s why i love him #otherwise he’d just be an asshole #<3 #brad bakshi #mythic quest #lip balm
