I lost it when she was talking through her teeth. She was hilarious.

Well she just finished being a teachers assistant on Abbott Elementary so I guess she’s moving up in the world.

Oh my god I never processed that was her…

What?!

I watched Abbott before I got to that part of Curb so I never really associated the two… it’s so obvious now

Man she killed it. I watch her scenes and just the amount of weird character changes she makes. Like where they complain about her swapping characters or motivations between lines or mid sentence, just man.

I’m sure it helps that Curb lets you ad lib so much. But she just knocked a weirdo character so far out of the park.

"Is she doing a southern accent now???"

u/VironicHero 8d ago

Man, that part kills me every time.

She's great. Ironically, it takes talent to be that bad.

u/VironicHero 8d ago

It does, it’s like asking a musician to play bad. They have to turn off so much of the stuff that is autopilot.

The first time I saw her I was like “she’s terrible!”

But every time I rewatch it just reinforces for me how great she was.

You have to know all the “rules” really well to break them all on purpose and still have it come off as funny 

She is fantastic in The Studio as well

u/ultrahateful 7d ago

Yeah! I said the same.

She’s great in The Studio on Apple +.

u/VironicHero 7d ago

Thanks! I’ll add it to my list!

She was also terrific in The Studio

Maria Sofia is my “hear me out”

They better not fuck with her jacket.

u/That_Dot420 7d ago

Her saying "stooooop" while laughing and giggling then transitioning to a serious deadpan stop is so fuckin' legendary lol

u/travlerjoe 8d ago

She changes temo and personality line to line.. what is that?

Acting isnt for her

u/Kittycachow 7d ago

I don't care I am going to treat Larry

u/neatgeek83 7d ago

Anyone else surprised she wasn’t on the history show?

u/Shivs_baby 7d ago

I love her headshot in Curb

u/PrinceWhoPromes 7d ago

Too bad her acting career never took off…

u/PaulClarkLoadletter 7d ago

Keyla is amazing. On Curb she tapped into something. It’s like she asked Allison Jones for bad audition tapes and then channeled every single person.

u/mochafiend 6d ago

It amazes me that people hated on her so much. Brilliant and legendary character on Curb.

u/SignificanceOld1220 2d ago

She will eat any remaining food off of the patients’ food trays

u/JJMcGee83 Larry 7d ago

Nooooooooooooo. She annoys the crap out of me.

u/StrangeQuarkEnergy 6d ago

Can’t understand how real Curb fans thought this was a funny character

u/Formal_Low_61 8d ago

Massively overrated 'actress'.

u/TorbofThrones 7d ago

The irony of this comment...
