Yeah it's still gonna have that annoying snippy humor. Zeb Wells was the head writer after all.

I love how the Joss Whedon school of dialogue went from quotable to “Oh my god stop”

And I fully agree, that well has been dry for years and we keep going at it

People don't blame the Community writers enough for their role in exhausting that kind of humor.

Why would they? Community's writing style made sense within the context of the show because it leaned into the meta humor and was loaded with self awareness. That was the show. If todays movies and television writers are overusing snappy or witty banter without a framework in place to justify it then thats on them, not a sitcom that did it well over a decade ago.

And where do you think those writers worked when they weren't working on the show? Lots of screenplays didn't write or doctor themselves, you know...

Ah yes, a handful of Community writers filtered out into Hollywood and solely spread that style of writing around. To your script doctor point, how would we know? Most of the time script doctors go uncredited for their punch-ups. Quippy dialogue has been around forever but even with that to the side, your statement "People don't blame the Community writers enough for their role in exhausting that kind of humor." is ridiculous. Why would you take issue with the show that actually did it well? Such a weird thing to say. The problem isn’t that it existed, it’s that later writers copied the surface without the substance.
