[TheEpicOfTyler]

I love Community. Senor Chang's meltdown during the Duncan Principle episode was hillarious.

[MachEnergy]

He's definitely my favorite part of the show

[muddi900]

The Dark Knight riff was fucking hilarious as well. One of the better new shows this season.

[n3rdXcore]

I was rather disappointed by the first episode, but each episode since has gotten better and better. This quickly turned into a must-watch for me.

[evilgoodwin]

I, too, was surprised by how funny this show got. I gave it a chance becuase I was sure it could improve after establishing the characters after a few episodes.

[Xerxes]

"I have the body of a five year old."

Senor Change is indeed a great character. Chevy is also pretty likable.

[LongStepMantis]

He's definitely my favorite part of the show

They need more of him and John Oliver's character together. The "trial" next to the pool showed me how well they work together. But the Spanish Class parts are always my favorite. Senor Chang is the fucking shit.

Also this. My wife got me to watch the first episode and I was like "The guy from The Soup? Get the fuck outta here." But each episode has made me more of a fan. The weird mix of characters works much better than I thought it would at first.

[Hawkzombie]

Uh...what show is this?

[Stoke]

Uh...what show is this?

I believe it's called Community but that's just from seeing it scroll by on Hulu. I could easily be wrong. I may have to Q it up for download though since it seems to be viewed favorably here.

They need more John Oliver, period.

Yes, that's it. Community. It's not a bad show, by any means. In particular, the one-minute bits during the credits have an improvised, free-flowing feel that I really enjoy.

You really should. I think NBC has a powerful comedy line up now. I haven't checked out Park and Recreation though.

[muddi900]

Am I the only one who disliked the John Oliver parts?

[Whunpo]

Am I the only one who disliked the John Oliver parts?

Burn the hater!
I'm behind on this and the office. I need to catch up.

[muddi900]

Well, dislike is a strong word. I just didn't think they were any special.

[Suave Peanut]

I can see where you're coming from about John Oliver. He really seems underused, given his talents.

[LongStepMantis]

I can see where you're coming from about John Oliver. He really seems underused, given his talents.

I can agree with that. He was/is great on the Daily Show, and his stand up special was side-splittingly funny. I kind of assumed that he would only make brief appearances in Community as I'm sure his other projects come first. I do agree they need to at least have him around for a few minutes per episode, if nothing else.

I can also see why his performance here isn't lauded...he's been in what, 3 episodes, and only two of those for more than a minute or two.

[MachEnergy]

Last night's episode had me in stitches. When Troy's grandmother made Britta go get a switch...

http://mach-energy.com/switch.JPG

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh god.......still cracking up :D

[Vermillion]

The last two weeks have been the best comedy on TV that I've seen in quite some time. I can't remember the last time I've lollercoptered as much during a show. I'm glad I made the wife stick out the first couple of episodes.

http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kyshx1JMef1qz82gvo1_500.jpg

White Abed is still my favorite. He's like Abed, but employable.

Yes! Also, I need to remember to have my DVR record an extra minute or two, because the after-credits segments keep getting chopped. What happened last week during Abed and Troy's strangely random Burt and Ernie routine? They took a bite of cookie and then it chopped out.

I just realized that Hulu is my friend and that I should consult it.

[Suave Peanut]

Oh man, I really need to catch up on this show. I've been slacking on my TV watching and I'm probably 10 episodes behind on both Community and Parks and Rec. I just this week got myself up-to-date on The Office and 30 Rock.

[muddi900]

"Isn't Abed Brown-Joey?"
"He is if you want to be racist about it!"

[Xerxes]

I didn't know anybody was still watching.

[muddi900]

AmAUlGR3_ZY

EDIT: Sadly, this cuts out the expression Troy makes at the end.

[Mike Kelehan]

I didn't know anybody was still watching.

Its ratings have steadily improved thanks to strong word of mouth, and it got renewed for another season. As it well should; the quality has kept improving as well.

[Drayven]

It started out a little rough but now that they've gotten the feel for the characters it's much better and one of my favorite shows on TV right now.

[Xerxes]

I am a man who can not die. I AM SENOR CHANG!

[evilgoodwin]

El Tigre!

tooshort

[muddi900]

Fool! Its El Tigre Chino!

Also, I don't think they were expecting to go beyond the christmas break. It feels like they were holding back.

[LongStepMantis]

When the show started it did seem like they were just going through the motions. I honestly didn't expect it to last either. But it improves with nearly every episode and is one of the few shows left that my wife and I watch every single week. We both agreed that Troy and Abed (mostly Abed) are the reason the show is so awesome. Case in point, the Bert & Ernie skit at the end of the last episode...classic.

When the show started, I thought Troy was a completely useless character. Now, he's got many of the funniest bits every week.

"I have the weirdest boner right now."

I love those two. Now not knocking Chevy, but Pierce has always seemed like a useless character too me. And Annie has always looked tasty to me. O_o

I'm not hear to talk about my other half. (Abed)

And when Shirley referred to their weird little relationship and they both said "their just jealous."

[muddi900]

There is a homoerotic undertone in the Troy/Abed dynamic. In fact the whole humor is kinda dark.

It's kind of what I liked about JD and Turk or Shawn and Gus.

[muddi900]

It's kind of what I liked about JD and Turk or Shawn and Gus.

Shawn and Gus are more like Albert and Costello. But yeah JD and Turk were totally partially-gay for each other!

Also, I just found out that was Kathreen McPhee last episode. Dear God she's hotter than I remember!

[Psykoboy2]

Shawn and Gus are more like Albert and Costello.

Abbott & Costello

[muddi900]

Corrected*

[Xerxes]

Abbott & Costello

No, he meant Fat Albert and Costello from Abbott and Costello. :p

I don't really know who Kathreen McPhee is but yes, she was a cutie.

[cp#]

Best show on NBC

[Xerxes]

Best show on NBC

:(

I'm sad cause I use to say this about 30 Rock. I mean it's still pretty funny, but not Community funny.

[Sazime]

I absolutely love Community. Abed is probably one of my favorite characters in a show in a long long time. I just worry that after a time, it will stop attracting new viewers because of "in jokes" that new people might not catch.

[Wraith]

Abed is drunk on chicken-power.

[Xerxes]

Why couldn't Better Off Ted get steam like this show. ABC hasn't been none for comedy in a while for one I suppose.

[Urizen]

Agreed. BOT is really good. Often not as fast-paced as Community, but I feel that's because it paces itself for bigger laughs.

[muddi900]

Better off Ted is an absolutely funny show and its sad how underrated it is.

[boratika]

I second this motion.

"Come with me if you don't want paint on your clothes"
Best episode yet

[Urizen]

Great episode. Great show. It's now officially free of the limitations of its setting. They don't have to talk about classes, or teachers, or papers or finals at all if they don't want to. The characters are developed enough for them to be able to any outlandish shit they want with them.

I even love seeing Starburns from week to week. I feel like it's some huge name stepping in to do a cameo.

[muddi900]

Man the internets has hyped this weeks episode to death. It must be awesome or someone will pay!

[muddi900]

OK, the internets was right. I lost it at Senor Chang as Tequila!

[Xerxes]

Oh definitely. That episode was so great. I loved when Troy saw Jeff like it was for the first time in a long time.

[muddi900]

The post-apocalyptic Day of the triffids opening was brilliant too.

[TheEpicOfTyler]

Best episode ever. Community is king of sitcoms.

[Urizen]

OK, the internets was right. I lost it at Senor Chang as Tequila!

I told my wife to expect a slow-mo white dove to glide across the screen when he stepped through the door. I can't believe they missed that opportunity.

The El Tigre modified Paintball canon was pretty awesome, though.

[Rogue_hunter]

I was waiting for the doves to fly by as well, disappointed that they didn't. But the paint bomb on the timer was good to use a Predator reference.

[Zonkuya]

SPOILERS
A lot can happen in an hour... (It's like the world ended with paint balls that rained from the sky..)

Tons of references and tropes! It's certainly up to date with the Glee bashing (a show I love) "Really? People fall for that?" Insinuating Glee uses cheap ploys, cue undressing. Also, "~Hit me with your best shot!~"

"Leonard, I'm not playing!"

"EVERYONE is playing..."

[TheEpicOfTyler]

I love how they made Britta and Jeff getting together a part of such a nonsense crazy plot. Completely turns the whole dynamic on it's head as far as these types of shows go lately, it's not even the season finale!

I am pleased with that because I was afraid the show would boil down into one of those shows.

[Cactaur]

My sister is asking which John Woo film is it a homage of? Checking youtube it doesn't seem to be hard boiled or better tomorrow.

[Sazime]

Is it The Killer?

EDIT: More I look around, the more people point to Hard Boiled (two guns) and Scarface (machine gun wielding). I'd be willing to bet it was a mix of the two. :)

[ShivaX]

Chang was Tequila from Hard Boiled.
Two guns is always a Woo tribute.

For the life of me I can't remember which one had the bullets colliding in mid-air.

[Xerxes]

You guys are worry about the doves? Am I the only one who thought that was a miss opportunity for Troy to die in Abed's arms?

[Cactaur]

Pretty sure two bullets collide is matrix.

[MachEnergy]

Nobody's mentioned the First Blood shoot up at the end! "DEEEEAAAANNNN!!!" :D

Even my wife, who was slow to like this show, thought the paint ball episode was hilarious. Urizen, you are definitely right. They really have shown that they can do any sort of episode they want with these characters. I keep chanting, "please don't cancel it please don't cancel it please don't cancel it"...

Side note: it amuses me how I made this thread just as a laugh for afatlunchlady, and somehow it turned into the site's semi-official Community thread

[Cactaur]

Yeah, was expecting the Rambo line at the end when the Dean asks what he wants. But guess they wanted to do the die hard taped gun bit.

[Sazime]

I loved that. As soon as Jeff was walking around in a tank top I was waiting for more Die Hard.

This episode was so fun, I hope they don't try to make another, unless it's in true action sequel stylings. :)

[Mike Kelehan]

I keep chanting, "please don't cancel it please don't cancel it please don't cancel it"...

It was actually renewed back in March for a full second season.

Shirley seals it.

[Rogue_hunter]

[show gif]

Shirley seals it.

And with Abed, "She's the Ark of the Covenant"

[Xerxes]

Shirley seals it.

I loved it when Abed called her on go girling her self.

Shut up.

[muddi900]

"I have never seen it, but I am pretty sure they MAILED EACH OTHER PANTS!"


Good Troy Hunting was great too;

"Its from a movie."
"Then the movie its from is terrible."


Also, Xerexes posted a couple of Donald Glover stand-up clips in the you laugh, you lose thread. This was the funnier one:
http://comedians.jokes.com/donald-glover/videos/donald-glover---talk-about-penises

[Urizen]

This episode wasn't as top-notch as last few, but it was still pretty damn good. What sealed it for me was the credits gag. They make you think that in Dr. Escudera, Greendale finally has one legit, serious, no-nonsense, old-school teacher, and then you find out she threw the final for some of Pierce's loving.

I lost it hard with that reveal.

[Hg-203]

um... wow... what a wrap up... I have no idea of what to say...

I can say this, I loved all the call backs to previous episodes

[Sazime]

Just good stuff all around. Well, NBC in general had me laughing my ass off for two hours.

[Wraith]

Just good stuff all around. Well, NBC in general had me laughing my ass off for two hours.I just wish all four shows didn't have the (network mandated?) plot device of someone possibly going away.

Community: Annie going to Delaware.
Parks & Rec: Leslie getting fired.
The Office: Someone (Andy, Darrell, Pam, and/or Kelly) getting canned for whistle blowing.
30 Rock: Kenneth getting reassigned to L.A., then fired. (Though I'm sure he'll be back.)

[TheEpicOfTyler]

I'm not sure how I feel about the finale. I kind of thought they were throwing that whole thing away with the events of the paintball episode.

Then they flipped that on it's head anyway.

It was funny, but I'm not sure about the story.

[Urizen]

Thank goodness there was just enough Abed, Troy and Pierce to salvage this episode. The main arc was not very entertaining.

[Xerxes]

Paintball should of been the finale. O_o

It was a good episode, but I think I was better off with thinking last weeks episode was the finale.

[muddi900]

"And for the record, there was an episode of Happy Days where the guy literally jumped a shark. And it was the best one."

[TheEpicOfTyler]

It felt kind of staged as a series finale too. They brought back like every character that's been on the show. It just had a weird vibe going on in it.

It kind of made me a little anxious about what they'll do with the second season, but I will be there day one.

[muddi900]

They brought back everyone...except Joey/White Abed!

[MachEnergy]

Have you guys been watching the new season? I've been loving it, for the most part. I thought that this recent episode was a little weak, but then I was clued into Abed's storyline and suddenly I think it's brilliant. Kudos to those of you who picked up on it as it was happening! I honestly did not notice a single scene of his.

If you are like me, then you should watch this clip for a great A-HA! moment.....(no, not the 80s group):

[muddi900]

Uhm...there's a season 2 thread. On the first page of the forum.

[MachEnergy]

well now, don't I look the fool :D

last year, this seemed to be the semi-official Community thread to my knowledge, so I just assumed people were being silent about this......thanks for the tip
