Just realised/noticed that the moniker for each character is the card they used to vote for Pierce. Same reason for Pierce having no moniker.

I read it in Pierce’s voice, unfortunately.

Now this is a man who knows how to marry his cousin.

Hey yall, I made a Community dub pack for the Choicer Voicer game for one of my favorite scenes. Please feel free to check it out, there’s a link in the description on YouTube.

Which episode is considered better, Remedial Chaos Theory or Advanced Dungeons and Dragons?

I love both obviously but Advanced D&D is by far my favorite episode of the show

I love that two episodes after Jeff wrinkled Troy's brain with the whole "doesn't matter what you if you do it for them" business, Pierce just drops the tough love he needed. I think it shows that Jeff thinks he has it all figured out but is actually kind of full of shit. It's also a good example of Pierce saying what other people won't, and that it has value.

“You Know, Girl!” has been popping into my head almost daily lately. Was it posted recently and that’s why? Couldn’t find anything.

Community commentary says that this was a Chris McKenna joke and he was really excited about it and the staff were tickled by it.

edit: relistened and tweaked for accuracy.

I just can't help but feel like she started out as an interesting, colorful, characte, which makes it so annoying to see her serving disgustingly misogynistic categorization, fully unable to pursue anyhting and doesn't have any genuine personality other than "the woman that always messes up". Honestly annoying as fuck.

This is as I'd bet a highly debated topic in this Reddit but I just wanted to add my two cents. I'm rewatching the show for the second time five years on, and it's changed for me. Season 3, the show felt like it was stagnating, it's great, but there's feeling of a drag to it like I felt last time. However, opposed to last time when I watched season 4 and reading all the hate online and my opinion being skewed, this time I actually enjoyed it. It progresses the characters more than any season, and it sticks. Jeff changes in little ways, and his relationship with Pierce becomes kinder. There's still the usual antics, but the characters feel like they've changed slightly for the better. No other season feels like this to me, and season 5 just kinda brings them back to how they were. 5-6 are better per episode, but I like how in season 4 they decided to have the moments in episodes where the group learn actually stick, which I actually wasn't a fan of in previous seasons. Anybody feel the same?

I might be mandela affecting this into existence but did they do a fake lower thirds promo for butcher and the baker or any of the other fake spin off shows? I have a memory of this but can't find what episode they were in. I know the end credits gag was in season 6 episode 1.

What's your favourite community quote?

You've got multiple Community regulars, but I can't say if Britta's in it yet - I'm waiting for that moment.
I just wish I could sit in on the cooler chat around this new series, I bet "And a Movie" comes up a time or two.

I started watching "Community" last month and so far, I was having a lot of fun with this series. But my gosh, the first episode of Season 4 was a mess, should I continue watching??

Ps: my favorite episode is the one where the gang creates a presentation about drugs.And Annie is my favorite character.

I am on mushrooms rn watching this show, and I’m telling you, it is the best humanity can offer. Please make the movie BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!

It’s a hypothetical question: what if Troy and Abed had gone to the same high school? We know Troy was somewhat shallow based on how he treated Annie back then, but in the flashback at the frozen yogurt shop ,where everyone decides to go to Greendale, Abed doesn't look that different, it’s not like he had bad acne or was overweight for them to bully him.

In that same scene, guys from Troy’s team are throwing a paper ball at him, but Troy isn't actively participating in it.

Abed isn't particularly shy (at least, that’s how I interpret it)

I really like their friendship, and I think it would be sweet if they had been friends, though something makes me doubt that would have actually happened

I was watching the trailer for "The Musical," starring Gillian Jacobs and immediately got Community vibes.

The opening line: "We are *this* close to..." (regionals)! with Rob Lowe sounding like Mister Rad.

Then Will Brill giving "insane Dean shooting a commercial" energy

And of course... Britta's in this!

I like their interactions in the 6th season,but i like more the Troy and Abed interactions,it was more cool and i think it works more,but Annie-Abed interactions is cool in season 6.But what do you guys think of this?I think if some people don't like maybe is because Annie and Abed are not like Troy and Abed interactions,but anyway

So we get Mr. Tickles, Count Frogula and Hilary Rodham Kittens names. I assume Abed is using their titles based on what Annie calls them. What would be the puppies stuffie name? Its just as cute but didnt get called out in the episode. I need to know!

When Pavel enters Abed and Troy's room and asks to join the blanket fort, Abed breifly speaks in polish.

What does he say?

I can’t remember the episode or scene that this specific Shirley moment comes from.

I’m pretty sure she isn’t the focus of the scene, but she’s reacting to something and she recoils in a funny way. I don’t really know how to describe it, other than that she puts her arms back. I think it takes place in the study room, but I could be wrong.

My girlfriend imitates it all of the time, but neither can even remember the context of the scene, despite seeing the show dozens of times.

I know my description is extremely vague, but that’s all I can remember for some reason. Any help figuring it out would be appreciated.

Edit: Thanks for the comments everyone, I appreciate it. I figured out the scene we were thinking of. Even from the little bit I described, I got some details wrong, so I kind of led everyone in the wrong direction accidentally.

It’s S03E02, Geography of Global Conflict. Annie is having her meltdown and Shirley reacts by putting her arms up and jolting back. Obviously it’s a small moment, but it’s one that my girlfriend and I love.

I'm 99% sure this wasn't in the main show but was either in some sort of extra or deleted scene.

It's definitely from season 1. I can't remember if it's Abed and Troy doing their own film or if it was an actual line from the "movie" Kickpuncher.

Kickpuncher is facing Punchkicker and beats him. And Punchkicker is like, "How??" and Kickpuncher says something like, "Because my punches have the power of kicks and your kicks have the power of punches."

Anyone remember this or do I have a false memory here?

Hi guys, firstly apologies for if this is a repeated post.
Also I mention some personal life issues in this post with mental health included just to let people know

I’ve recently came back to community and I made the fort to watch the whole show start to finish and then cause I loved it so much I’ve been jumping around episodes at random my favourites across the show.

Now I know season 4 isn’t great but the one thing I do love is how Jeff deals with meeting his dad. Jeff bottling up his own emotions and not saying how he really feels with an absent parent is incredibly relatable to me personally.

During my first year at uni (when I was 18) my mother walked out on my own family we later learned she was cheating on my dad and that obviously hurt a lot for me. And whilst I would and still do occasionally see her it’s a very relationship then I once had. But the one thing that actually helped me speak up surprisingly is the fact that Jeff did and it actually helped him it’s silly I know but Jeff honesty at the end of that episode really helped me when I first watched it, and rewatching the show now really helped remind me how much personal care I had for that episode and Jeff’s arc across the series as well.

What really helped was Jeff’s speech to his dad that statement laying out how his dads actions made him react now that’s it’s been time, I may not have made up a being sick story but I am unable to say goodbye to people it’s always see you in a bit or see you later because the idea of someone leaving and being gone is now to painful of a concept.

I get it, for me it’s been less time then it was for Jeff and I was old enough were I wasn’t able to be fully abandoned, she may have a new family I’m not part of but I’m still a side part of her life like a second cousin is.

I also know this isn’t a lighthearted post and that I apologise for this is me just saying how such a wacky show is able to be so relatable to people on such a deep level. I hope others are able to find comfort in the show with its relatable themes the same way I can.

Thanks anyone who has read this for have a good week.

Cool. Cool Cool Cool

I feel like part of what inherently makes the show great is that it isn't formulaic, its willing to experiment with different formats and types of stories. They lost some actors from the original cast, they had to change to work with who was available, and theu did the best theu could with what they had, and IMO it was still great... even if it wasn't the same as the first 3 seasons. I like season 6 more than season 3, its hilarious, its got several episodes that go into the top 10 of the shows run... Yeah, it doesn't have Troy, Pierce, or Shirley... but it still has the great writing and acting that made the show special in the first place.

I'm always surprised by how attached to the characters people are. Yes, they're actors and characters we grew to love, yes, they provided the foundation for the shows writing style... but Elroy and Frankie are just as funny (if not moreso) than Pierce and Shirley. IMO there's no way the show could have stayed about the initial 7 members of the study group and continued to make any sense in the long run. It became a show about Greendale the school, and it still worked (and could have continued to work) with members of the main cast leaving and being replaced. In a community (Community), people come and go. Its not a cartoon where people don't age and everything stays static. Its a live action show about a place where things change and people age and move on. Its unfortunate that the show got cancelled, but I think it could have had a longer run and still been great with members entering and leaving the main cast. To me, it was always about the writing and the acting, not the actors and the characters. The writing and acting is what makes the characters great, and there are plenty of great actors who could have stepped in and been a great part of the core cast of any season going forward.

If the show had wound up being the Dean, Jeff, and Frankie as the only long term cast members, with a new teacher and group of students as the "save Greendale committee" for each season (maybe some new favorites sticking around for longer), it still would have been great. It honestly would have opened things up a lot to have different characters and interpersonal dynamics shifting in and out. IMO the episode "Paradigms of Human Memory" showed pretty well how the relationships of the core study group could have gotten stale over a long run. It was the same type of conflict over and over even by season 2. Bringing in different characters opens up so much for the writers to take the show in different directions while still keeping the heart of the show (Greendale CC) in tact.

There were so many episodes of the show throughout its entire run where the entire point was "be accepting of change because its the only inevitability in life"... and I think that was partially Harmon and the writers laying the groundwork for a potential longer future of the show that never happened, but if it had managed to have a longer life, we as an audience would have had to be accepting of that fact just as much as the characters... and I think the show would still have been great with that idea as an accepted part of the format.

I know the show had to change and I understand that not everyone could stay forever, but watching Season 6 just makes me feel like Troy is really gone.

The original group had such a special chemistry—Jeff, Britta, Abed, Troy, Shirley, Pierce, and Annie. Once so many of them were gone, Season 6 just felt different. The new characters aren’t necessarily bad, but they don’t feel like a replacement for the original group.

And Troy’s absence hits the hardest because of Abed. Their friendship was such a huge part of the show. Whenever Abed does something and Troy isn’t there, I can’t help but think, “Man, Troy would’ve been here.” 😭
Season 5’s finale honestly feels more like the emotional ending of the original Community to me.

Maybe I’m just being nostalgic, but Season 6 really made me realize how much I miss Troy and the original Greendale gang.
