Line 37:
Though Brittany is no Einstein and can prove shockingly ignorant and gullible, she sometimes displays an unusual sensibility about things. When Daria was having a crisis over wearing contact lenses in "[[Through a Lens Darkly]]," Brittany was able to console her and defuse the problem, perhaps repaying Daria for the help she gave Brittany in "[[The Misery Chick]]." She also displayed an uncanny knack for military tactics in the episode "[[The Daria Hunter]]", surprising many of the characters with her plan to win a paintball match. In several episodes, she displays an ability to manipulate males.
While it would be easy for many to say that Brittany is generally stupid, several facts must also be taken into consideration: that Brittany had her own advice column in the [[Lawndale Lowdown]], that she got some favourable comments on Creative Writing assignments for [[Timothy O'Neill]] (both seen in the [[The Daria Diaries]]), she has an interest in some Shakespeare plays and was able to perform lines from ''Romeo and Juliet'',
She is certainly smarter than Kevin. In [[Malled]] when Kevin stole "a cute thingy with a cute thingy" she dragged him back to the store to return it while Kevin apparently didn't understand why. (A few episodes have showed Kevin to be smarter - "[[Road Worrier]]" has Kevin stunned that Brittany doesn't know you sit on the ground at a concert - but they're the minority)
