Britta: Hey, Jeff! I’m sure you know Phillip. Do you know that if I sleep with Phillip once a month, I can use his beach house in Rio whenever I want?
Jeff: Wow. You guys are really on to something. I think you found the world’s newest profession!

Troy: Way to hog all the girls, Jeff. You know, when there’s three sprinkle donuts, you don’t eat one and then lick another!
Britta: Anyone object to us being referred to as donuts? No one?

I love Gillian Jacobs’ expressions, but Britta’s terrified face is the greatest one.
Days #24 & #25 A Scene That Made You Angry / Something That Happened That You Wish It Didn’t
“Jeff Winger, do not get back with Slater! I love you.”
I put these two together because…well, because they made me equally angry and sad at the same time. See, despite the fact that I liked the outcome of this episode (because I’d be a very bad shipper if I didn’t), it makes me so angry THIS had to happen for Jeff and Annie to kiss. I love Britta, and I hate so much that she was humiliated like this. Whether she was doing it to win or she really feels it, it’s just… ugh, I always say it, putting yourself out there, especially if you are as guarded about your feelings as Britta is, it was way too much. It was out of character, and UGH. I don’t even care if the theme of the episode was jumping the shark as many people are saying, you don’t sacrifice a whole season of creating a character as Britta to then ruin it like that by doing something that sounds so… un-Britta. And then Jeff had to run away. He could not have stayed, talked to her, clear things (if that had been the case I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have hooked up, probably Britta would have taken it back and they would’ve been back to being awkward), and yes, it looks like she understood, but that didn’t make it better.
So yeah, pretty much, I hated this. And I hate that it might ruin my favorite part of Jeff and Britta, the one in which they’re friends and have fun together. Now even if they fix it, there’s gonna be this huge elephant in the room. ANGRY.
ETA: Btw, I also have to say, it was a *bit* selfish of Britta to do that to Jeff, as well. He is not good at facing feelings, and she went and said she loved him in front of a room full of people. He should have not run away BUT in his case, THAT was in character. I definitely see why he freaked out.
