With "Broad City" returning for season 3 in less than a week, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer are back on the press circuit -- and back to shutting down misguided interviewers.
In a recent interview with Playboy's Eric Spitznagel, Jacobson and Glazer discussed the third season of their hit show, the upcoming presidential election and their thoughts on feminism.
Spitznagel asked what the dynamic duo thinks of The Wall Street Journal's description of "Broad City" as "sneak-attack feminism." "Why are you so sneaky?" Spitznagel asked Glazer and Jacobson.
The two responded accordingly:
Jacobson: Weβre both totally up-front and proud feminists. Weβre not being all secretive about it. I feel weβre pretty blatant in our approach.
Glazer: I think itβs kind of crazy that weβre still calling comedians βfemale comedians.β That seems more like a sneak attack.
Jacobson: I mean, sure, if you play the episodes of "Broad City" backward, there are hidden messages.
Glazer: βDiiiie, men.β If you play any "Broad City" episode backward, thatβs all weβre saying.
In the words of Ilana:
Glazer and Jacobson also brushed off the assumption that HBO's series "Girls" is similar to "Broad City."
"How are the two shows different?" Spitznagel asked.
"If somebody asks, I usually just tell them to google it," Glazer said.
She went on to point out the subtle sexism in the assumption that shows with female-driven casts are somehow similar simply because they're about women.
"Itβs so weird that thatβs a thing... Youβve got the one show about some vaginas," Glazer said, with Jacobson interrupting: "And then thereβs that other show with the other talking and walking vaginas."
"Iβm not going to watch two TV shows with vaginas in them unless somebody tells me why theyβre different!" Glazer said.
We'll happily watch all the shows with talking and walking vaginas, ladies -- just, please, keep making them.
