* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Likes to make use of her singing skills by playing pop stars (most notably [[Christina Aguilera]], but she's played other pop singers too, like Melissa Etheridge, [[KeshaKe$ha]], [[Katy Perry]], K[[k.Dd. Langlang]], [[Sarah McLachlan]], and Wynonna Judd) on ''SNL''. She now has a recurring bit as [[Zooey Deschanel]], and manages to mimic her voice rather successfully.
** She also could pass for Anna Faris, as seen in a recent ''SNL'' monologue where she plays a girl named Hanna Garis who looks and acts just like Faris.
* [[Cute but Cacophonic]]: Her portrayals of Khloe Kardashian, [[Anna Faris]], and [[Joan Cusack]].
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Her dad is Chris Elliott, from the short-lived FOX[[Fox]] sitcom ''Get Aa Life''. He also was a cast member on ''SNL'' during its 20th season, which, like seasons six and eleven, was despised by fans and critics for [[Seasonal Rot|being bad]] (this makes Abby Elliot the first ''SNL'' cast member to be the child of another). Her [[Bob and Ray|grandfather]] is a famous comedian too and cameoed on a 1978 Christmas episode of ''SNL'' hosted by Elliot Gould, making Abby Elliott a third-generation ''SNL'' performer.
** Furthermore, Chris Elliott gained a following during [[The Eighties]] for his frequent appearances on the David Letterman incarnation of ''[[Late Night]]''. These days, Abby often pops up in bits on ''[[Late Night]]'' with ''[[Jimmy Fallon]]''.
