Selfie	comment	Selfie is a television series created by Emily Kapnek (Suburgatory and As Told by Ginger) and based loosely on My Fair Lady. It premiered on September 30, 2014 on ABC, although its pilot was made available over a month earlier on August 20 through video-on-demand and online streaming.The show centers around vapid, attention-hungry former ugly girl Eliza Dooley (Karen Gillan), and explores her attempts to become more of an actual likable person as opposed to a person who just receives a lot of "likes" online. To do so, she enlists the help of Henry Higgs (John Cho), who works at her pediatric pharmaceutical company as a PR man (she's a hot pharma rep, the 2010s version of sexy stewardesses), to "re-brand" her. Of course, Henry isn't perfect himself: if Eliza has loose morals, he's too uptight, and while he starts out trying to help her, she might be helping him just as much.The show also features David Harewood as Sam Saperstein, the head of Eliza and Henry's company, and Allyn Rachel as Bryn, Eliza's "hipster-crite" neighbor and reluctant friend.Due to insufficient marketing and stiff time-slot competition from the likes of NCIS and The Voice, Selfie saw poor ratings and was cancelled mid-season on November 7, 2014. Shortly after, ABC announced that they would pull the remaining episodes from TV airing; they were instead released weekly on Hulu through December 30.However, the show has gained a cult following, with critics who initially gave harsh reviews seeing its potential after watching more episodes and a sizable fan campaign being created to advocate for the reversal of the show's cancellation. TV Guide called it the "Best Turnaround" series of the decade in 2019.

Selfie / int_1171ed72	comment	Sexy Shirt Switch: A variation in "Follow Through." After Eliza says that she's worried her work dress wouldn't work for meeting Freddy's parents, Henry offers her his coat. She makes him turn around, and it turns out she's decided to wear only his coat. Later on, having dumped Freddy, she decides she wants to return the coat to Henry.

Selfie / int_15b2cab3	comment	Tempting Fate: Done twice in "Un-Tag my Heart", Henry joins Facebook after being mocked about it by a few people. He initially dismisses it as "mildly entertaining, certainly not all-consuming." Cue montage of him crying at videos, picking favorite Mean Girls quote (I'm a cool mom!), finding out what Game of Thrones character he is (Sansa Stark), and being on it from night to the next morning, drinking and eating pizza. Eliza does this in the same episode, planning on sleeping with her casual sex partner who she's been trying to avoid (so she has the strength to avoid him more, inspired by her friend's comments about cheating on her diet). Internally, she thinks that if she really wasn't supposed to see him, the universe would send her a sign. She then immediately gets hit by a car, but because its a Smart car, she's kind of ok. She pops up, says it didn't even hurt-and then falls down a manhole.

When he finds out, he says he will of course be deleting that jam off his playlist. Also in the song department, Henry points out that a lot of people misinterpret the song "No Woman, no cry", which isn't about not crying because you don't have a woman, its about consoling a woman and telling her not to cry.

In "Never Block Cookies", Eliza is trying to get Henry laid so he can relax some. She does this by asking questions about him to secretly set up a few dozen dating site profiles, which he misinterprets as interest in him. This culminates in her showing up at his house one night to give him dating tips, telling him it's "her turn" to boss him around, and that women like it when he finds an excuse to touch him, and him promptly clutching her to him in a sexual manner. After a few awkward seconds, she hurriedly leaves. She's shown to be quite picky with the dating site choices, and both she and Charmonique end up choosing a bunch of women who look like them. Also, 'Nique herself pays enough attention to Henry to guess his computer's password on the second try.

His further attempts result in him tweeting the video to all of Eliza's followers (several hundred thousand).

Selfie / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: In "Un-Tag My Heart" Henry comes looking for Eliza and finds her at Bryn's apartment during bookclub. A breathless Bryn asks if this is "a Jerry Maguire moment?" Another book club member complains that she's been in the club three years without one and Eliza gets one on her first night. Also in "Un-Tag My Heart", Mr. Saperstein shouts "Wallykazam!" as an expression of joy during an office meeting. In episode 3, Larry compares himself (fresh off a failed marriage) and Henry to Juan Pablo, The Bachelor. In the same episode, Eliza joins co-worker Joan at a dance class to try and befriend her, and they dance to the song "Straight Up" by Paula Abdul (the class is called Straight Up Now Tone Me Cardio). After, Eliza invites Joan to dinner; Joan is skeptical but Eliza wins her over with a "Please? Please? A-please please?" to the same cadence as the song. Doubles as Waxing Lyrical, and features a snippet of the song's tune as background music. In "Never Block Cookies", Sam Saperstein is being short with his son-in-law and employee, Terrance, which upsets Mrs. Saperstein. Sam says he always thought their daughter would marry "A strapping blue collar guy who turns out to be the Prince of Zamunda." Another few in "Never Block Cookies", Charmonique tells Eliza she needs to help Henry with his flirting, saying she needs to "get her Mr. Miyagi on. Wax on, wax dat ass." While going through potential dates for Henry (who Eliza doesn't like because of her own feelings for him), she says one of them is pretty "in a Flowers in the Attic kind of way. I mean, tell me she's not sleeping with her brother." After Eliza introduces a keynote speaker at Pharmacuticon (simply by saying "Here's this guy") Saperstein claps and says "Shine bright like a diamond." Also in "Here's This Guy", Julia, Henry's new girl who is rather short, is referred to as Polly Pocket, and Little Miss Muffet. Julia for her part refers to Eliza as a Jolly Ginger Giantess. When Freddy is telling Eliza that he wants her to spend every night at his place, permanently, she says "Boxing Helena style?", and he says "no, I don't want to keep you in a box in my apartment." When discussing the company 10K in "Stick In the Mud", Henry quotes the movie Prefontaine, without stating that beforehand, confusing Eliza as he refers to himself as "Steve" Higgs, before Raj sets her straight. For her part, Eliza is ignorant that "the guy from 30 Seconds to Mars" was in a movie. In the same episode, Charmonique mentions Eliza's sister, and Henry says that Eliza said her family was lost at sea. Charmonique says "somebody must'a Tom Hanksed her ass back to civilization." Another one from "Stick In the Mud", Henry and Freddy refer their rivalry in the mud run to the Rocky films ("We tied, like in Rocky 1." "Maybe we should bury the hatchet. Like in Rocky 3") In "Never Block Cookies", Eliza and Charmonique wants to find a date for Henry. Henry happens to be reading the book The Counterlife by Philip Roth, which features a character also named Henry who has intimacy issues.

Also see Shout-Out, above. Also, in "With a Little Yelp From My Friends", Henry unintentionally quotes a Biggie song and Eliza completes it, but he either doesn't get it or appreciate it.

He lies and says his parents are in town to get out of work (Henry, newly on Facebook, finds out through a posted video), and when he's very willing to participate in a flashmob for a co-worker:

Selfie / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: In "Never Block Cookies", Henry does exactly that-a cute barista at the coffee shop in the office building offers him a cookie for free, and he turns it down, not wanting the cookie, saying she's going to screw up her inventory, and totally missing that she's interested in him. Also, in "Even Hell Has Two Bars", Henry celebrates in front of Terrence and Charlie about being invited to Saperstein's house because as he puts it "he only invites upper level executives who are in line for a promotion to hob nob there."

Selfie / int_fe5c7660	comment	Eating Lunch Alone: Eliza has been shown doing this, and she doesn't even sit by herself in the office's kitchen-she eats standing up over a trash can. Henry points out its very anti-social, Eliza says its good for her digestion. By episode's end, she admits its because no one ever wanted to eat with her in lunch, and it became a habit. Henry (who bought a trash can so she'd eat lunch in his office and with her one work friend), stands up and eats lunch across the trash can from her.
