Daria and Jane from Daria

Daria was the ˜90s misfit character not really seen on screen before, especially in female form. After being written as a character on Beavis and Butthead, the spinoff got some serious legs and MTV struck gold. The woman behind Daria’s monotone voice, Tracy Grandstaff (who’s now a VP at Comedy Central), was not just the voice behind the banter, but she was part of the writing team as well. Who doesn’t love watching high school antics play out through deadpan humour and spoonfuls of sarcasm? Daria spoke the truths many of us feel inside, but we often end up smiling with I really can’t stand you eyes instead, perhaps this is why we loved the show so much. Daria and Jane’s sound relationship (even being cool with sharing the same guy) pushed varying viewpoints yet somehow the two always found common ground. Their unbreakable bond reinforced the strength of a solid gal pal with whom life feels just a little better beside. Plus, quotes like I hate this place, reminded us we were not alone. In sum, we get you D and J, we get you.
