Britta is definitely wayy better by the end, but I still think she's near the bottom of my list when it comes to main characters. I like the Dean more, too. That isn't a knock against her though, I love all these characters Hickey, Frankie, Pierce and Shirley are maybe the only main characters I like less?
When y’all are saying she gets better or is the best by the end, do y’all mean she becomes funny? Or her character is more likable? Because I don’t care if characters are likable or not as long as they’re funny and I’m pretty sure I haven’t laughed at her once in two seasons. But her humor makes me cringe in a bad way. Abed is the same for me but he’s had a few moments that have made me laugh.
She gets way funnier by the end, but still remains the punching bag of the group. I think she's at her absolute best in season 6, especially her scene in the series finale that I still occasionally look up the clip for on YouTube to laugh my ass off
She has a lot of awesome gags, and I especially love the awkwardness of the wedding episode lmao. I like Elroy more though
Watching through S2 again now though, and I have to say, the whole Britta thinking her new friend was a lesbian plot was really cringey to watch in 2020. A lot of the homophobic jokes in general, too The "look at me now Dad!" chant kills me though
Only “main” character I don’t care for is that old dude from season 5 that I don’t even remember the name of
Buzz Hickey! Oh man I love him. But maybe because I'm such a big Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fan. I love the D&D episode with him and his son. Still bottom of the barrel compared to other characters, but it was fun having him Abed's nod to him in the sci-fi movie episode of S6 was nice
the scene where she calls the Dean an idiot but keeps apologising is one of my favourites in the entire run
I remember watching their cast reunion on Vulture and Dan even saying that Britta improves so much over the show. I think Yvette and a few others have said that the show basically just started letting Gillian's sense of humor in more because she's apparently just a funny goof irl lol
