Martha MacIsaac is an actress probably best known for her role as Becca in Superbad. Currently, she plays another character named Becca on 1600 Penn, the NBC comedy about a dysfunctional First Family that co-stars Jenna Elfman, Bill Pullman and Josh Gad. Additionally, MacIsaac — who hails from Canada — watches both Jeopardy! and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo religiously. Talk about a well-rounded gal!

Again with the Family Guy?!? I thought it was a given that South Park is clearly a better show!
Maddening and baffling.
Theres no accounting for taste.
don’t even get me started.
If someone could make a GIF of the South Park episode where Cartman EXPLAINS why Family Guy sucks, that might help inform some of these wayward souls
Family Guy would not exist without South Park.
Close enough.

Additional question: If she could have anyone else in the world play her brother on 1600 Penn, who would she choose? I can provide a list of anyone if necessary.
lol. Co-signed.
I’m fat, unemployed, and loud. I’ll do it for scale.
But will you also help write the show, Dennis? And keep craft services in business with your outrageous demands?
DAMMIT, WHERE ARE MY RED STARBURST YOU BASTARDS!?!
Someone named MacIsaac going to the farmer’s market, eating PEI lobster and drinking Moosehead. This questionnaire was so Canadian my monitor started leaking maple syrup.
I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that based on her answer she pronounces meme as me-me.
See, this is how you answer one of these: nothing inflammatory or ignorant, and you make sure to let the fanboys know that you have a husband. Well played, miss.
I love how in question #9, you answered your own question for her. I’m going to start doing that with all my questions.
She drinks Moosehead, she’s a good egg in my book or potato since she’s from PEI.
I’m going to give you the best. blow jay. ever…
…with my mouth.
God her face bugs me. But I love that she said JTT for first crush.
How do people not know what a meme is? Are they so out of touch or are we just losers?
Of all of these that we’re done, I think Eugene Mirman was the only one who knows what a meme is. Really kind of shocking.
What’s really weird about it is that “meme” has had a meaning since before the internet, so what does it really say that nobody seems to know what the hell a meme is?
It’s as if things that are super popular on the Internet aren’t in real life
/watches Community with 19 million people
Goddamnit, every single one of these people puts me on fence at South Park/Family Guy and loses me at iPhone.
Hahaha, it’s so disappointing every time
4. she’s vegetarian
17. best meal ever was sushi
???
Answer:
a. she recently became vegetarian
b. she ate vegetarian sushi
c. she was reading her answers off cue-cards written by her publicist
A vegetarian and Family Guy over South park, clearly an absolute idiot. I would totally punch her in the face and then shit on her face while she was down.
I like Family Guy fans more than South Park fans. If I tell a Family Guy fan I don’t like it, they don’t really care. If I tell a South Park fan that the show is crap, they demand 35 pages on why, with sources.
