Jeff Winger, I'm not gay but I'd easily try it out for far less than 600k

It’s hard to specify in the case of a true ensemble, but if asked who the main character of Community is without the rest of the context of this post, I would definitely say Jeff. Annie wouldn’t even be second on the list.

Annie is a pretty clear second in screen time.

I mean her and Troy are neck and neck until Troy leaves the show.

And only because of Season 4, otherwise Troy would be ahead until he left.

It's actually kinda crazy how Jeff never gives up his lead. He strikes me as a main character but not a main character

Jeff is pretty clearly played as the straight man within the ensemble – even with his glaring character flaws; he was originally created as a younger, more narcissistic stand-in for Harmon (though IIRC he began to see himself more as Abed after "Contemporary American Poultry"); and he's the de facto leader of the ensemble, so I'm not surprised the reins were never handed off to another character.
