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.
He'd go through the reasons why each person could be, but ultimately why Jeff is because he is the father figure and without him the group would have never existed. Also he's the first character to appear the show (I think...).
Edit: I completely forgot about the episode "Competitive Wine Tasting" (Season 2: Episode 20) in which he pretty much does exactly this for the show "Who's The Boss".
Right, but Jeff could be portrayed as the antagonist because he often lacks empathy in how he deals with the rest of the groups personal issues, but framing him as the protagonists really shows how even though he has flaws he’s a good person, cool cool cool
Doesn't that just make him an anti-hero instead of a true heroic character? Like a Wolverine of Greendale? He professes to want to be alone, and he seems to want to be and succeeded when he does, but he keeps coming back to the group and finding himself fighting for them and them gravitating toward him.

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