The Problem with Lisa Kudrow
is that with every part, she has to show how "superior" to the character she thinks she is.
shareNot sure what you mean. Superior to another character or superior to the character she's playing? If it's the latter then, seeing as most of her biggest characters are the subject of satire, then of course she's commenting on certain issues and poking fun at them.
Michelle is a lazy, insecure, vain and unproductive member of society
Fiona is horrible, self-serving, manipulative and stuck-up
Valerie is deluded, has her priorities all messed up and vain (although Valerie is treated with more complexity given the realism of the show).
Phoebe is not the subject of satire exactly, but she is still the street-smart but not knowledge smart character on the show. She's uneducated and child-like and since its a sitcom, it's to an extreme level.
