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

Her latest Old Navy commercials are horrible! Besides her fake accent and horrific posture, she acts like she's an elderly woman. And the whole commercial is just weird. Who thought this was a good idea?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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"?

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.

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.

by Anonymousreply 37September 25, 2023 6:25 PM

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.

by Anonymousreply 38September 25, 2023 8:59 PM

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.

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.

by Anonymousreply 45September 26, 2023 12:41 AM

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.

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.

Old Navy's marketing team needs to be fired.

The entire team.

The Natasha commercials are the worst.

by Anonymousreply 61December 9, 2023 7:42 PM

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.

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.
