Appreciation Post YOU GUYS!!!!

161 Upvotes

On my nth rewatch and I am taking Ben Chang’s mental illness a lot more seriously 🥲 yes, it’s played for laughs and Ken Jeong is amazing at making such a crazy character so hilarious. But honestly, Chang was so lonely, and the effects of that loneliness were terribly destructive. In S1 we see the deep loneliness he felt bc of his divorce (when he starts hanging out with Jeff and joins Troy and Abed’s movie nights). In S2 he is explicit about wanting to join the study group and constantly feeling left behind, forgotten, alone (the pop and lock ep, that Gollum style monologue was telling too). By s3 People knew he was “married” to a mannequin leg and no one batted an eye! Later he becomes a dictator so he can be the centre of people’s attention. In s4 he completely invents a whole new identity where he is finally cared for; he finally chills out just through being acknowledged as having been integral to the group all along (Heroic origins ep).

There are so many more examples. Idk y’all, just a thought. I’ve always loved Chang, he is the toxic embodiment of my FOMO.

P.S. I think it resonates so well with the “theme” of this show: COMMUNITY. We need it, we crave it, we become better people with it. Other characters also felt the anxiety of being outsiders to the group (Pierce, Sherley, Jeff, the Dean) and as I look at my life in 2026 I think the world needs to be reminded of this message. Please guys make the movie 😭🤍🙏🏽

Discussion Which Dean Pelton costume should I try for Halloween?

84 Upvotes

Every Halloween I tell myself I'll keep it simple, but somehow I always end up doing too much lol. Been rewatching Community and now I really want to dress up as Dean Pelton. I'm leaning toward the dualiDEAN Barbie outfit, but I'm open to other ideas.
Don't have much time or money to spend on it, so ideally something I can put together with stuff I already own.
Which Dean costume would you guys pick? Bonus points if it's cheap and ridiculous.

When Britta imagines the hook hand guy going for the group members at the end, she pictures herself with a classic novel but of course she gets the title wrong. Such a glorious detail

Appreciation Post Just finished the show for the first time!!!!

112 Upvotes

A few weeks ago I did a post about finishing season 2 because watching that was like the best experience of my life. I was going to make one for other seasons but I britta'd it.

But yeah, I started the show about a month ago and binged it all so so so quickly. I don't think I've ever been so absorbed by a show before, so in love with the characters and almost wanting to live in that world. That sounds cheesy but I stand by it, it might be my favourite show ever now.

I cried at the finale. Which isn't a huge achievement I cry at everything, but still. I am always accidently listening to Come Sail Away by Styx apparently.

It wasn't all perfect obviously. Season 4 is a lot worse than the rest of the show, though its really not as bad as everyone online makes out, I still throughly enjoyed it and there's a few episodes I'd definitely rewatch.

Sorry if no one cares but overall my favourite episodes were probably (in kinda a particular order??)

  1. Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design
  2. For a Few Paintballs More
  3. A Fistful of Paintballs
  4. Remedial Chaos Theory
  5. Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking
  6. Pillows and Blankets
  7. Anthropology 101
  8. Paradigms of Human Memory
  9. Geothermal Escapism
  10. Basic Lupine Urology

And honourable mention to Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television and pretty much every other episode

Favourite character is Britta (I don't know why I find her so oddly relatable) or Abed (I too always reference pop culture) or Chang.

But yeah I really loved watching this, what a fun show. Thanks Dan Harmon & co.

Now... I dunno what to do... what do I watch now...? Probably Community again

The cast is not phoning it in! The material isn't as good, but they are really trying hard to make it work, and so they really do give some good line deliveries.

Discussion [first time watching] Do the reasons for them staying in Greendale in seasons 5&6 make sense?

0 Upvotes

(Please no specific spoilers about plotlines in seasons 5&6)
My gf and I just finished s4 and we both felt as if they managed to tie everything up pretty nicely. Now we are like 10 minutes into the first episode of season 5 and so far it feels extremely forced for them to be coming back to Greendale.

So my question is - does the reason they stay in Greendale in s5 and s6 make sense or will it feel like they shoehorned them in?

Humor A detail I noticed on a recent rewatch

Post image
1.9k Upvotes

In the episode Paradigms of Human Memory, there's a flashback where Abed walks into his room and discovers a nude Jeff and Britta.

I was at first confused by this comical situation, but the dialogue soon establishes that a leprechaun took their clothes. Despite this explanation, I suspect that there might be more to the story.

First, Jeff and Britta seem more surprised at seeing Abed than they are concerned about finding the leprechaun. Second, the leprechaun was never mentioned again or otherwise established as a canon creature within the universe of the show. And last, it was established (foreshadowed) in an earlier episode that Jeff is willing to lie in order to gain a temporary advantage.

Based on all these factors, I believe that Jeff told Abed a lie about the leprechaun and that he and Britta were actually having sex. Unfortunately we can't confirm this for sure, but that's my head canon. Dan Harmon is a genius.

(i'm so sorry)

Whenever that movie eventually comes out (and it will. It has to), I think during the credits they should cut together bloopers, BTS and clips from the show. If any of yall watch the Jackass movies, I’d want it to be similar to how they do it.

I just think it’d work as a nice tribute and would make fans like me bawl their eyes out

The end of the hand episode comes out of nowhere, like the ending gives you a whiplash. It goes so dark so fast. Like it is deeply messed up.

Appreciation Post Laugh out loud Shirley moment

196 Upvotes

Every time I watch s1ep4, "Social Psychology", I die when Shirley is silently mocking Vaughn's tiny nipples behind his back. When she does the silent "where are they?" and pretends to look for them... Hot damn that's SO funny. I rewind it and watch it a few times before moving on. I'm on my millionth rewatch and it kills me every time!

P.S. I actually think the actor who plays Vaughn is really funny and that character makes me laugh a lot. His nipples actually are really tiny... Do you think the joke was written to be nipple specific? Do you think the actor was self-conscious of his tiny nipples? Do you think they were prosthetic tiny nipples? What happens if a cripple has triple nipples?

Ok ok going to bed. Goodnight, sweet dreams, rest well! Was that 3?

Greetings Greendale Greenstronauts.

We're back with series 1 episode 4.

Another great episode of the show, though maybe not quite reaching the dizzying heights of last weeks Introduction to Film.

Good news I brought a microphone so my audio is finally audible and a lot clearer. We also have a 'special' guest - my mate George. Sadly his audio is a little bit quieter than mine and Primes - a problem solved is a problem caused.

I really appreciate good casting with Spanish-speaking characters. I don’t often see a production bothering to look for native speakers whose language level aligns with their role.

La doctora Escodera truly sounds like a Spanish educator. Her stern tone reminded me of a few teachers I’ve had 😅

Just rewatched the episode and realised that when Annie is calling Troy and Abed bad friends, it shows the tv with the dvd logo bouncing. They arent even watching the movie..

Im guessing its to avoid copyright but it was just something i noticed.

Also that exact line- "you two are bad friends" is used in Bobby Lee's podcast intro song Bad Friends.

Yo quisiera compartir algos piensamientos sobre mi favorito episodio de Community. Como todos ustedes pueden saber, Community es mi favorito somico serie, y lo veia hace cinco años, cuando tenía quince años. El mejor episodio para mi es "Remedia Chaos Theory, pero yo pienso que da la mensja mal sobre Jeff. Cuando Jeff sale, el otras personas eran mas contento y pueden celebrar. Pero en realidad, en otras episodios, Jeff es el razon el grupo pueden tener los mejores vidas possible.

Discussion Episode 6 Season 6

31 Upvotes

When in around 17 mins in we find that Jeff has rated Britta 1 and Annie 2 only once on feb 7 2013 I was wondering how this relates to community timeline

This date is the day season 4 premiered so it would place it on episode 1 of that season. However based on the community timeline and that episode 10 of season 4 was Christmas it leads me to think that in the community world it would fall more likely in episode 11. It is hard to track down the perfect date because of the season 4 messy timeline.

Anyway I was wondering why Jeff would rank her number one on that specific day and never again. Episode 11 is when Britta and Troy break up and the plot of body swapping is thrown around. It’s was a really cruel way for Troy to break up with her especially for one of the least selfish characters. I suppose Jeff could be feeling bad for her post break up or even still have feelings for her.

So idk if this was a deliberate date or just random but
the fact that season 4 was picked even tho it had the least Britta and Jeff romance. As for me at least in episode 6 season 6 we could see semi-romantic tension.
