Earlier, Coughlan played Betches' “How Online Are You” and answered almost every question. She knew J.Lo's favorite bodega order – if you know, you know – the name of the Oompa Loompa at Willy Wonka Experience in Glasgowand the joke that Down' Ayo Edebiri played Jenny, the donkey, in Banshees of Inisherin.

In an age where many celebrities are mocked for being offline and disconnected from plebeian internet culture, a luxury people in most industries can't afford, it's refreshing to see someone in the public eye who takes pleasure in the stupid aspects of being online. As user said“She represents girls who are online regularly but still have lives. Thank you, princess.”
She differs from the rising class of comedic actresses who gained popularity on Twitter before the mainstream for their wry remarks and contributions to meme culture, like Edebiri and Rachel Sennott, because, like many of us, she is a lurker. Like you, she does not shape Internet culture but consumes it. She doesn't post on Instagram outside of standard promotional posts and uses her platform to advocate for a ceasefire in Palestine.
Not to mention she's breaking barriers so 37-year-old women can have fun online too.
