Aubrey Plaza did a strange, strange thing during Sunday night’s MTV Movie Awards. Presumably to promote her upcoming film The To Do List (which she had scrawled across her chest), Plaza rushed the stage while Will Ferrell accepted his award for Comedic Genius and tried to steal it from him.

Whether it was a planned stunt gone awry or a moment of ill-advised drunken enthusiasm, Plaza’s spotlight stealing was clearly the lowlight (in a love to hate it, kind of way), of the night. And no one would have more disdain for Plaza’s social awkwardness than her misanthropic character from Parks and Recreation, April Ludgate.
