6	She had small roles in films like ''Film/MyStepmotherIsAnAlien'' (as the daughter) and ''Film/DeadManOnCampus'' before her breakout film role as Michelle Flaherty in ''Film/AmericanPie'', where she shocked everyone with the now-infamous "band camp" line. The world was never the same after that moment. [[CovertPervert It's always the quiet ones.]]

11	!!This actress provides examples of:
12
13	%%* CovertPervert: Her most common role.
14	* CreatorBacklash: Like many of the series' fans, Hannigan wasn't happy at ''all'' with how ''How I Met Your Mother'' ended, saying it was "like slapping [the fans] in the face." She's also said that she was never happy with the Barney and Robin pairing, feeling it complicated the Ted and Robin relationship too much.
15	%%* EndearinglyDorky: Lots of her roles happen to be quirky yet adorable.
16	%%-->'''Willow:''' You're supposed to stop me when I do that.
17	%%-->'''Oz:''' I like it when you do that.
18	* FascinatingEyebrow: Her right eyebrow is slightly higher than her left, making this a permanent look for her.
19	* PlayingAgainstType: Her roles as [[WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst Winter]] and [[WesternAnimation/FancyNancy Claire Clancy]] are definitely more laid back and softer than what she's known for.
20	* PuppyDogEyes: She can pull off the vulnerable look very well.
21	** Marshall in ''How I Met Your Mother'' - "she's all eyes and boobs".
22	--->'''Creator/JossWhedon:''' There is nothing more painful in the world than Aly when she makes her big eyes. She makes her big, hurt eyes, there's nothing you can do. She just kills you.
23	** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in a ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'' strip. She makes [[SealedEvilInACan the demonwolf, violator of the worlds]], cry.
24	--->'''Thugboy:''' Man! That Alyson Hannigan's a friggin' ''menace!''.
