History Characters / BroadCity

* DepravedBisexual: Confirmed in the episode "Coat Check" which gives Ilana a same-sex relationship without much fanfare, [[spoiler: who, as Abbi points out, looks and acts exactly like her]]. Ilana constantly tries to get Abbi to have a threesome with her (among other things, including a HomoeroticDream about Abbi), makes out with a female intern in "Mochalatta Chills," and suddenly gets new ambition at work when she gets the hots for her company's new investor (played by Vanessa Williams) in "Game Over."

* JustForPun: Has a love of incredibly tame and corny "dad jokes".

* BareYourMidriff: Among other outfits, Ilana is observed by a coworker to be "wearing a napkin."

* AmbiguouslyBrown: She actually enjoys her "ethnic ambiguity," mostly because she gets looks from a lot of different guys.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Ilana refers to him as a "hunky quarter-Latino".

* ShesGotLegs: Frequently wears short-shorts, exposing these.

* GoalInLife: Aspires to be a successful illustrator.
* GranolaGirl: Abbi was this when she was younger, complete with foul-smelling dreadlocks.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Ilana. They're very close with each other, and Ilana even refers to Abbi as her "soulmate" on various occasions, but despite their more homoerotic tendencies (Ilana making a video dedicated to Abbi's ass, for instance), they're strictly platonic.

** GibberishOfLove: Her interactions with him usually lead to this.
* ManChild: She's not particularly mature. Though unlike Ilana, she makes an effort to try and act more adult, though it almost never lasts.

* AmbiguousCriminalHistory: Revealed in "Kirk Steele." This one goes by so fast, it's easy to overlook. [[spoiler:Following her accidental destruction of Soulstice's giant wall mirror, Abbi [[ThinkingOutLoud panics and brainstorms]] how to quickly raise $700 in order to replace it. She momentarily considers selling "[[MagicMushrooms mushroom chocolates]]," but immediately dismisses the idea as too risky when she realizes her "record" was only recently "expunged."]]

* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: For Ilana, of course! [[OnlySanerByComparison Not that she's always successful at this, though.]]

* OnlySanerByComparison: She frequently plays the StraightMan to Ilana's antics, but she has a lot of her own foibles as well. She's very much prone to making bad and reckless decisions, and she only manages to be the more seemingly put-together of the main duo because [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Ilana]] is just that much more reckless and id-driven.

* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: For Ilana, of course!

* ManChild: Though unlike Ilana, she makes an effort to try and act more adult, though it almost never lasts.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Ilana.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Abbi tells Ilana that she's "so anti-racist that sometimes you're actually really racist". In general, Ilana is fairly well meaning, but comes off as incredibly egotistical and indifferent to the feelings of others.

* InformedJudaism: Like Ilana, she's Jewish, but not much is ever made of it. It's especially pronounced in the "Jews on a Plane" two-parter where she and Ilana are odd ducks among the more devout Jewish kids.
-->'''Abbi''': I'm a hundred percent Jewish!
-->'''Ilana''': Emphasis on the "''ish''".

* InformedJudaism: Like Abbi, she's Jewish, but not much is ever made of it. It's especially pronounced in the "Jews on a Plane" two-parter where she and Abbi are odd ducks among the more devout Jewish kids.
