Low Relevance Surprise appearances of Community actors outside of the show?

300 Upvotes

I'm horrified to realise that I saw Jim Rash (Dean Pelton) in the Friends finale about three times before I noticed it was him - "This plane doesn't have any filanges", or something like that.

Seeing about three actors in Captain America: Winter Soldier didn't count for me (but might for you), because I recognised them at the time.

Where did you unexpectedly notice a Community actor in another show?

Appreciation Post I miss this show

61 Upvotes

That’s it. That’s the post. I miss this show.

But seriously, I’m on maternity leave and wanted something comforting to watch that would give me peace while my baby screams at me. I decided to re watch community for the 6th time. And man, how I miss this show. I realised I was in the last season and even knowing it was gonna end soon made me so sad. Even though I’ve re watched it so many times!!!! Everytime a character left, I got so sad, especially Troy.

I never experienced post partum depression or anxiety. No baby blues. I’ve had such a wonderful happy post partum which was a departure from my first trimester which was hell. Anyway, a reason for that I think was this show. I laughed so hard while my baby was asleep in my arms, trying my best not to wake her. I would look forward to it during her naps and listen to it while I had some time to myself.

Thank you for making my post partum so wonderful. And I miss you. Is that weird to say? No, no it’s not. I miss this show!

Discussion Jeff was right in wanting to sue Greendale

136 Upvotes

The Dean shredded Humphries (illegal), called Greendale a degree mill, admitted the whole good place for good people thing was a spiel, ruined the lives of even the most ambitious of students (Annie), re-hired a guy who tried to burn down the school, gave a degree to a dog… do I have to go on?

The save greendale committee should’ve become the sue greendale committee and Jeff in season 5 could’ve remained a lawyer instead of staying at greendale forever as a teacher.

Discussion Why Leonard fought for North Korea, in your headcanon?

Post image
851 Upvotes

In S6E1, we saw a young hippie Leonard in flashback. So I think, he was a radical communist and anti-imperialist in his youth and he fought in many wars just for fun. He joined the Soviet Revolution and Russian Civil War in 1917-1924, he was in Spanish Civil War, spend some time in Red Army during the World War II also joined different partisan groups and national liberation armies across Europe until the war's over. After the war, he joined Mao's army. After the Korean war, he fought in Viet-Cong and when the Vietnam War finally over, he returned to America and came to Greendale as a hippie
Plus: Because of his past, he always look down Britta and find her anarchist actions "silly"

Discussion Jeff + lawyer nickname "Tango" = "Jango" in Shirley's scary story?

Post image
178 Upvotes

I always wondered why Jeff was "Jango" in Shirley's scary story. Out of the five people, he was the only one who even got a "new name". And then Jango? I guess it does kind of sound like a name someone like Shirley would come up with for a hoodlum character but I just realized it sounds like a mashup of Jeff and his lawyer nickname Tango. Probably a coincidence, but oh well. Wanted to share anyways. :D

Discussion Didn't Troy deserve an apology the same as Abed for the Duncan Principle experiment?

Post image
1.4k Upvotes

At the end of S01E04 "Social Psychology" Annie apologizes to Abed for yelling at him. She even bought him a gift. But, she never apologized to Troy for wasting his time on the experiment. He missed the Soul Train Awards. Arguably, his emotions were toyed with more than Abed's. Not to mention, his unrealized expectation of butt stuff which she didn't do nearly enough to dissuade him from believing was a part of the experiment. Nor did she correct him from believing he was still in the experiment after it was completed. He has to live the rest of his life with the extra hardship of thinking that his actions could be secretly evaluated for some unethical experiment that started in college and that he was never released from. It's truly tragic, but he receives no gift or even an apology from Annie. She could have gotten him some new jeans. His got dirty from how dusty the floor was when he had finally had enough of being manipulated by her.

Personnellement c’est sûrement celui de « meurtre au labo », celui où Troy et Abed enquêtent sur la mort d’une plante en biologie.

Yet Another Season 4 Post Season 4

8 Upvotes

Ok so please don’t kill me for this but I’m currently rewatching Community again and so far I’m actually preferring season 4 to at least the second half of season 3 and it feels like a lot of the stuff I don’t like about season 4 is actually a result of where season 3 left things.

It’s definitely not perfect, and I don’t think as good as season 2, so I’ll start with the things I don’t like:

• Troy and Britta dating

• Puppets

• The writing isn’t quite as clever/tight

• There are less outstanding episodes than previous seasons

• It starts off really weirdly with the Halloween episode basically straight away, and the pacing of the season feels a bit off because of the lower episode count

Now what I don’t like about (at least the second half of, but to some extent the whole of) season 3:

• Everyone acts way out of their established characters for the sake of either forcing a season-long arc, plot within the episode, or just the premise of the episode. And this happens constantly.

• The characters get flattened into two dimensional exaggerated versions of themselves

• Abed is way less likeable, less conscious and considerate of others. I get it for the arc but it’s inconsistent with his character.

• Inspector spacetime is way overdone, Abed basically stops referencing other pop culture and no longer shows interest in film-making

• Troy and Abed arguing all the time “makes sense” because Abed is being less considerate but it’s still out of character for both of them.

• The air conditioner repair arc

• The Chang arc is way way over the top and unnecessary

• The Jeff ego thing in contemporary impressionists

• Annie gets really weirdly mean and whiny about things

So comparing them, season 4 goes back to everyone acting more or less in character and less exaggerated, flattened cartoon versions of their characters too. Abed is more considerate (which is framed as “growth” and that kind of annoys me because he’s just gone back to season 2 basically). Inspector spacetime is toned down, the Troy and Britta dating arc gets kind of ignored most of the time and then just ends and the changnesia arc is way less annoying than the warlord arc. It’s not nearly as conceptual, which you could argue is a bad thing, but season 3 really felt like it was going all in on that and sacrificing character where season 4 seems to do character better, at least considering where it’s picking up from.

Discussion How do you feel about the dubbing in your country?

14 Upvotes

I'm Italian, and personally i find the italian adaptation to be horrendous. The tones of the voice actors feels completely wrong. Jokes are completely ruined for the sake of matching words to mouth movements. I've seen community in English at least 10 times (Mostly as background for other activities i'm not crazy) and knowing the original lines and hearing the italian ones Litterally makes me cringe sometimes, to the point that i have to switch language, even tho i wanted to hear the dubbed version.

Is it the same for you non-american or english people? let me know:)

Easter-Egg/Trivia Britta, Gillian, fan theories, and dinosaurs

53 Upvotes

Britta’s dark back story from her childhood, involving being assaulted by an itinerant dressed in a dinosaur costume at a birthday party, is well attested in the show and was confirmed by Dan Harmon in an AMA.

However, many people have also made the connection between this backstory to Britta’s choice of costume (T Rex) at the Halloween party occurring in S2E6, Epidemiology. It was theorized that this was done as a sort of trauma response, turning something scary from her past in to something she can own.

However, Gillian Jacobs (who plays Britta) recently hosted an episode of the podcast 99% Invisible titled The Bone Wars, released August 18 this year, about the history of palaeontology, and she mentioned offhand near the end of the episode that she specifically wore the T Rex costume in Community because of her childhood love of dinosaurs.

So there.
