It's always great to remember a time when MTV wasn't a terrible, endless cycle of pregnant teen reality shows, drunkorexia docs, cut-off music videos by whatever bands the kids are listening to these days, and energy drink commercials. Everything's so flashy now! So what better way to revisit the simpler times of the 1990s than through Daria, who would totally hate 2013 MTV.
This fake trailer for a Daria movie stars Aubrey Plaza, casting so perfect that we would put aside our criticism of celebrity Kickstarters and totally support a Daria movie Kickstarter if Aubrey Plaza promised to star. Until that magical day comes, enjoy this trailer:
And ICYMI: Here's the original Daria pilot from 1997.
