@@tellmewill Thank you! I think it's a really important distinction not only to highlight how Pudi completely nailed the role but as an important characteristic of Abed as a character.
@@cookiesandstreams You're welcome! Yes the distinction is absolutely neccessary to show Danny the respect he deserves for his talent, but as someone who's neurodivergent and blank-faced like Abed I'm really glad that people understand that just because someone doesn't show emotions does not mean they don't have any.
Dan Harmon saying "Family Guy. I've never seen it. My therapist watches it." was the most Jeff Winger line ever. Community wasn't just a show for him, it was him.
Ken Jeong said on The Darkest Timeline podcast that this was an amazing day for him but he doesn't remember most of the dinner they had later because he got blackout drunk
The first paintball episode was definitely where I knew that this show was gonna be insane, where they showed that they could drop the realism and make funny and engaging episodes
@monokhem the chicken fingers episode still feels like something that could happen irl, minus the really exaggerated parts. As good as that episode was, it's still nowhere near as insane as them being permitted to trash their campus and shoot paint literally anywhere all for a prize that's way too valuable (judging from what Jeff said he could do with it) for any one student to have
@monokhem again the chicken fingers episode is an exaggeration of stuff that could actually still be possible in real life, a campus-wide paintball game with little restriction and no time limit couldnt have possibly been derived from anything realistic. Yeah cafeterias suck, but you make it sound like it aint realistic for people to eat there in the first place. In our college people eat at cafeterias because of time constraints, people being too lazy to walk out of the campus just to eat, or the food just being actually good in the cafeterias. And as for the guy who was willing to do anything for chicken fingers, that's just clearly the show's way of exaggerating the amount of power that they have over everyone. This kind of stuff happens all the time in college, be the only person to have the test answers for an upcoming final and suddenly classmates will want you to share it with them, be the really smart guy in a class and suddenly people want tutoring or homework help. In all your college life have you seriously never had anyone want to do favours for you just because you had something that they wanted? So much about the chicken fingers episode can still be derived from real world scenarios. No campus in existence would willingly allow students to do what they did in modern warfare. "Permitted" is the right word cuz the paintball game was organized and initiated by the dean, and while he couldn't stop it, it doesn't change the fact that he started it and didnt think to establish any restrictions.
@monokhem ffs, most people watching community for the first time wouldn't just immediately absorb the insanity of the chicken fingers episode. It was unarguably insane, but it was gradual so by the time it reached ridiculous, the average viewer would've been settled in to this illusion that Abed had control over everyone. I say modern warfare was the first to really sell insanity because just by watching it for the first time, shit went from 0 to 100 real quick over the course of Jeff's nap in the car, what people would assume was just gonna be some childish boring paintball game for a cheap DVD player turned into an insane war on the campus and we as the viewer just gets thrown into it with hardly any build-up. "You've got nothing and your lies and straw man arguments are stupid and tedious" Why not take a good look at your arguments and see if the average viewer thinks that when they watch this show the first time: "Most people don't even eat at cafeterias" --- Lemme rephrase "you make it sound like it ain't realistic for people to eat there in the first place", I meant you make it sound like it ain't realistic for THAT MANY people to eat there in the first place. This show is in a fictional world where they've clearly established that people generally eat here instead of elsewhere. Your whole statement about wanting chicken fingers over just eating in other fast food places --- This show is in a fictional world where they've clearly established that people generally eat here instead of elsewhere, severely unrealistic I know, but that's been the trend for most of this series "...big assine craze on college campuses in the 90's" --- Who immediately remembers this in watching modern warfare? "Modern warfare is much more realistic" --- You could be right, but the point i was making was which one really sold viewers on how insane the show was gonna be for the seasons to come, so yeah I may have flown off the handle if this argument turned into which episode was more insane. Even the placement of this episode being near the end of season 1 implies that further seasons will get wackier People who I know and asked say they remember modern warfare more fondly than the chicken fingers episode, not because it may/may not have been more insane, but because it was insane all the way (at least immediately after the intro). And I may not have asked them why this was, but I could only assume it's because AGAIN the chicken fingers episode was gradual and built up and from what I remember watching it the first time, the ridicule of that episode just flew over my head, and I pretty much forgot about over time it til I started rewatching on Netflix Contemporary American Poultry was an awesome episode, but there's a reason why paintball got 3 more episodes after Modern Warfare
@@ishish8816 I totally disagree. If this was Big Bang Theory more Abed and Troy would be great because that show has nothing substantial to offer. Troy and Abed are icing. They aren't even the cake, let alone the steak. Season 6 is much stronger for Troy's absence. Troy is a cartoon, and entertaining cartoon, but still a cartoon. I like the weightier stuff. All of the best Abed episodes he is separated from Troy, Critical Film Studies, Intro to Film, Contemporary American Poultry. If they brought Troy back the best thing they could do is show that Troy and Abed don't work anymore, that they have grown apart, and that at least one of them has matured past playing in cardboard boxes.
Joel mchale is his character from Community, did any of you notice how many times he broke the tension in the room faultlessly with a perfect one liner
It's a shame. I watched for the first time when the were releasing season 2 and I Always thought: " this Abed guy Will be a comedy monster", but unfortunatelly it didn't went this way. He is very tallented, but Hollywood prefers guys like Joel(the physical type) making silly jokes about sex🤦♂️
@@viniciuspaiva3889 it's because the roles like Abed are very easy to be type casted. It's impossible to see Danny as anyone other than Abed because of how iconic and unique his character was, the same is said for many other actors in unique and iconic roles - like Dwight from The Office or George Costanza from Seinfeld.
I wish it ended better tho. Hopefully IF a movie is created, Dan Harmon can send these characters off better then the season 6 closer because I felt empty watching that episode, especially with Donald not being there in someway shape or form.
@@MTWENTY The finale was amazing! The season was pretty weak but that run of last 4 episodes (RV, Espionage, Wedding, Finale) is one of the best run of episodes of the show imo. And that final end tag with Dan's voice-over is a perfect summary of the show straight from the horse's mouth
I really love to see how fond they are towards Donald, in everything they said they always reminded how talented he is and how they're proud of him which obviously hints that they still maintain a hella good relationship with him. I mean, maybe there would be a possibility that Donald would come back for the movie (but not gonna put my hopes high though), the casts have the most wholesome friendship ever and it's so obvious they'd try their best to make the movie happen.
Ayat Al Akkad it wasn’t really for the music, he said he wanted to do different things on his own but he was, mainly, developing Atlanta (for a long time) by the time he left.
I hope he comes back too but with Donald you never know bc he loves moving forward and I feel like a community movie would be like going backwards in his view :(
MisterNiblet no I think he would do it, probably have a smaller part but still do it. If youve seen the call they did with the whole cast a couple days ago, you can just see how happy he is. I feel like he would be happy to do it.
@@noworries129 Chevy is famous for being... difficult to work with. Honestly, hearing that there was tension and issues with him on set is pretty much par for the course. That being said, I was sad when he left. However he acts when the camera isn't rolling, his character was great and he played Pierce very well.
baylaust I have a horrible feeling Chevy Chase didn’t have too much trouble playing Pierce. Like obviously he isn’t as horrible as Pierce (hopefully) but when I hear about what he says and does, they feel very similar
Honestly, Chase used his clout to the detriment of the show. That scene where he pantsed Shirley, Yvette Nicole Brown, probably wasn't planned at all and the conflict in S2 was a meta narrative on whether they should fire him for his continued bullshit.
Remedial chaos theory is the episode I show people who have never seen community. My theory if they like that episode, they'll like the series and my theory has yet to be proven wrong. I adore this show so much.
i show people Modern Warfare bc it's early enough that it doesn't spoil much of the character development and it shows how the series can go off the rails but that ep starts like any other episode. Also paintball.
That was the first episode I ever watched. It was just randomly on tv and I gave it a watch and never turned back. And you’re so right I show it to everyone I introduce the show to too
OMG! It was the first episode I Watched! I was looking for a great standalone episode because I didn’t want to commit to a show and this episode got me hooked on community! And yes, it is also the episode I use to introduce people to community!
I love that the Russo Brother's are trying to make sure that the entire cast of Community continues to pop up in their Marvel films. It may take another decade, but they'll get their cast cameo in Secret Wars :D
Chang has 5 seconds in Endgame - when Antman pops back into the real world, Chang is the security guard. Jim Rash is also in one of the Captain American Movies, Donald Glover is a gangster in Spiderman Homecoming
This show chang'd me. Like it's actually shaped my sense of humour and taught me so much about laughter and friendship just life. It helped shaped my ideanitity.
community was so ahead of it's time it acutally harmed itself because of it. if it was released in this streaming platforms era, it would have succeeded public wise and have to be cancelled a dozen times, just look how many new people are coming to the fanbase and deeply falling in love with the show (myself included)
Hello 3.14dododododododododododod I agree, but also disagree. Most people like dark humor and understand when people are writing jokes for a character, whereas if the offensive part is the joke, it’s not as funny. Like, South Park, It’s Always Sunny, and Family Guy are all still on TV and people love it, people of all ages. People still love The Office too. Like, in The Office and It’s Always Sunny, the characters and their ignorance are the butt of the joke, people can laugh at that. Lots of people who watch Community, of all ages, don’t really agree with the blackface, because the joke is on Chang, who doesn’t really realize he’s in blackface, he’s trying to cosplay as a dark elf. It’s also on Shirley, who doesn’t realize that he’s trying to be a dark elf, but she interprets it as blackface.
Hello 3.14dododododododododododod Some parts of the show would have to chang-e a bit, like the actors & creators mentioned here, but it would still be wildly popular on streaming. People are more nuanced than that, especially when the creators are willing to listen.
Ambria Ashley yeah this makes sense, I was just thinking that if it was exactly the same, specially the first few seasons, then a lot of jokes wouldn't hold.

I just finished the finale of Community today, so now im just searching through the internet for videos like this to mend my broken heart. #sixseasonsandamovie
yep them and Donald were quite the trio doing the episodes and ideas, but after Donald left that just left Allison and Danny to bond into the comedy team.
This show literally changed my life. At the start of 2009 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and later in the year Community helped save my life and form the man I am today.
i am really, REALLY late to the community party, but thanks to the show being put on netflix I finally got to watch it this past week after wanting to for literal years. it is now one of my favorite shows and it blows my mind what a genuine project it was, for the talented creators, writers, and cast. everyone really cared about it and looks back at it with such fondess, it warms my heart and also...is really inspiring! at the same time, it's sad to know it wasnt nearly as widely appreciated as it deserved but that shows just how special it was. with community now being on netflix I'm hoping more people will have access to it and fall in love with it!!! (very much holding onto hope for that movie!!)
I just got into it a month ago because of Rick and morty. After season 5 was over I just wanted more shows similar to it and I saw dancharmon also worked on community so I checked it out and the two really do have. Similar sense of humor!! I love both
I love Allison slipping in the "I'mma die by werewolf" at the very end. The outtakes are probably more important to me in a rewatch than the gas leak year. So many good moments of incredible chemistry.
its so encouraging seeing the actors pushing for a movie too. As fans, we always push for more. But it's special to see that "wall" between actor & fan come down where everyone just loves the show and wants more
Hey it’s great, it’s a signal boost to studios who are trying to understand what sticks and what doesn’t. The fact that Community has become a part of the cultural lexicon despite its publishers actively working against it highlights the power of good writing, character development, and casting. It means that executives are going to cede power to bend to creative more in order to make shows that captivate audiences.
It appeared on netflix + hulu and that's how I discovered it and binged all 6 seasons in a week. The trailer on hulu was what made me check it out (it was a teaser of the zombie episode where troy was in the yellow alien fighting costume) and I was just like ooooh what is this? This looks so interesting and I checked if netflix had it and binged it there. I believe if Community aired in 2020 or 2021, it would have gotten way more popular from the beginning as to compared to then. Community was definitely way ahead of its time. So many people are discovering this show since it was put on netflix and streaming sites plus since covid19 forced more people to stay indoors and binge tv shows. I am so happy to be able to find this show. It's now one of my fave shows of all time and I'm gonna keep rewatching while still hoping for a movie.
Literally just watched the whole series in a week for the first time !! The good thing about hopping on the train this late in the game is I won’t have to feel like I’ve been waiting TOO long for the movie lol
I come to really respect Joel after watching all these interviews now for his background works like bringing Dan back and getting Richard Ayoade. Such a leader. "I see your values now."
I know the feeling. Several years ago some cable network at 2 or 3am was showing a short travel-documentary type of series that Joel McHale did where he interviewed interesting townspeople in other parts of the world. Joel was so humble and fascinated with these non-famous people that it made me have a lot of respect for him. Edit: IMDb says Joel only did one episode. I know I tuned in on multiple nights and Joel was hosting each time, so maybe it was one long episode split into a few episodes? 🤔
I believe on the DVD audio commentary they recorded way back when, Alison basically said "I'ma die by werewolf" was her fave line from that episode. She and Donald and Danny apparently rapped about it on set and such, lol.
@@cheekyboomboom8973 yep. I own the DVDs and have listened to the commentary from the first three seasons. that rap is also there in one of the blooper clips I think
It is very interesting to see how a lot of the members of the cast work in part due to their natural connection with the character. Joel is so snarky, so direct, so laconic; Yvette is actually really nice and wholesome; Alison is endearing, but also very intense (she studied for the reunion like Annie would); Gillian's speech about how she knew she would very hardly be involved again in something so impactful is such a real, sincere, but also honest compliment, a very Britta statement; and Ken is actually just as much of a whirlwind as Chang. Danny is a nice surprise, so much laughter, not that much of a camera hogger unlike Abed, but you can also see how much he actually loved the show, and not just the work or the friends he did (someone commented below that it is sad he hasn't had more success, which is true because aside from Donald Glover and perhaps Yvette he might be the most versatile). And well, Jim Rash throws it out of the park with such a great, spontaneous rendition of the peanut bar rap, showcasing how talented he is. I am glad I finally decided to watch this long interview.
57:18 to 59:22 touched me so much because I didn't realize what the show meant to *me* until Gillian Jacobs and Danny Pudi put it in their own words. I think they really gave voice and humanity to the most underrepresented people in media, the outcasts who are left behind and misunderstood by society for *wanting* to be different. They are unlike other outcasts because they chose their paths and they don't want what everyone else wants: a well-paying job, marriage, and kids. To put it in perspective, look at how most media portrays outcasts today. The Joker is a recent example. He wants what everyone else wants and it drives him insane because he can't have it. But we never question WHY he should want those things. Abed and Britta don't want those things at all. Abed obsesses over media because he loves the artistic world of possibility and meaning. People like Abed who love comics, videogames, movies and TV shows don't just want to be entertained, they want to vicariously experience the truth of life through fantasy. People like Britta fight for societal change because they want to be part of something bigger than themselves. Rather than opting out of society to enjoy the fantasies of media, they want to literally fight against reality to open it up to new possibilities. Throughout the show, we see both Abed and Britta have suffered financially for their choices. Society doesn't reward people who want to be different. Abed is dependent on his father and Britta's life is deceptively financed by her family through her friends. By the finale, we know Britta tries to achieve independence as a bartender and Abed chooses to pursue a career in auteur cinema. Neither path is destined to pay well and they don't care. They still reject society's demands for conformity, however... unlike other programs, Community shows us that is OKAY! It doesn't teach you to judge these people. It teaches you to love and even admire them for wanting to be authentically THEMSELVES. We can all feel that Community is something special and unique, unlikely to ever be repeated. That is because at the end of the day, the heart of Community is learning to accept yourself and your tribe---NO MATTER who or where you are in life. That is extremely subversive, powerful, and real. Not all of us climb the career ladder to become traditionally "successful", like in every series finale ever. This would imply there is an end goal to life. In truth, that's why most happy endings seem inauthentic and forced. They doom their characters to a life of stasis. Community's series finale is different because it ends at the BEGINNING of every character's life, where they will no doubt change in unpredictable ways as they grow into the fully realized versions of themselves that they *found* during the show's six-season run. Some of us just want to do what makes us *happy* with the people *we love* in our own little *communities*---that's Jeff, the Dean, Chang, and Britta. Some, having learned all they could but wanting more, join new communities or make their own---Troy, Shirley, and Abed. Either way, when we live authentically and share our experiences with others, life is beautiful. We enjoy the journey regardless of destination, making unforgettable friendships along the way. That is what Community is all about.
Different people also can desire relationships/marriage etcetera. It doesn't make them less "different". You say like all different people want to be alone forever, and the moment they enter relationships or reach some sort of stability they lose their uniqueness or become part of the " system". It doesn't work that way, no need for labels, mate. Also, Britta wasn't so different, she was rather shallow and hypocritical as it turned out. But all the rest I really enjoyed, great comment in general.
When I first started working at Panera bread n my co worker was preparing the bagels i pronounced them like Britta does n she just looked at me n said no
Community really was a prime example of creativity. The cast was also amazing as they could play these insane scenarios without it just being stupid. Plus, it is great seeing them all so supportive of one another. I have binged this show so many times and it just makes me happy. I do hope there could be a movie some day, and it would be great if there could be a flashback scene including Pierce. #sixseasonsandamovie
I love this cast so much. I love how much they love each other. I love Ken Jeong laughly intensely at everything. I love their quiet awkwardness when Dan Harmon starts talking about Chevy. I love Yvette championing them all. I love that they recognise how special it was. I love Gillian and Jim shamelessly performing bits from the show. Community was/is the best comedy series ever to have graced our screens and its' return, in movie form, can't come soon enough.
The season finale was the best finale I have ever watched. A perfect community episode(minus troy who was always my favourite, plus troy and abed as a whole different character). Episode 4 was again very good. Genuinely it was a good season. Even the paintball episode was good, with the twist, giving that it lacked troy who enabled Abed s imagination. Genuinely with what they had they did an amazing job. I still can't belive something this good exists. This and bojack are the best written shows ever. Dan even made the comment about jokes not being jokes by themselves but coming from their respective characters. This is what comedy should look like. Just so so so so happy this exists.
Season 5 and 6 are terrible. I don’t get why season 4 gets so much backlash. Seasons 5 and 6 had different vibes and felt force. Weren’t as interesting as the earlier seasons.
I don't want to piss anyone off but I'd like to say that I liked Community better than Friends, BBT and HIMYM ... I just wish all the main casts had remained till the last season... . Woooo.... thanks for the likes
I think it's a testament to how good this show is by the fact that they all remember each individual episode so vividly & clearly. So many sitcoms have such a plethora of episodes that just blend together into one, so much so that each individual episode is equally disposable as the last, regardless of quality, it's the ambition and complete contempt for the normal that kept Community the freshest & most memorable sitcom ever made
Joel surprised everyone during dinner after this getting Donald Glover to show up. Ken was completely hammered. They talked about this in their new podcast. The darkest timeline.
I was in Afghanistan from 2010-2011. I introduced my platoon to Community and we would get together many nights and watch it. It was a great way for us to bond and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
That’s incredible and almost impossible to imagine what that must have been like but it’s heartwarming and a very human in what I have to believe is a chaotic world. What I’m trying to say is thank you for your service and for sharing with the world
Yep. BUT, because this happened, this will become a legend. Much like Arrested Development, Parks and Recreation, The Office, Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be. They will keep cropping and peaking for generations and generations to come, and they will influence young filmmakers indefinitely.

Yeah cafeterias suck, but you make it sound like it aint realistic for people to eat there in the first place. In our college people eat at cafeterias because of time constraints, people being too lazy to walk out of the campus just to eat, or the food just being actually good in the cafeterias.
And as for the guy who was willing to do anything for chicken fingers, that's just clearly the show's way of exaggerating the amount of power that they have over everyone. This kind of stuff happens all the time in college, be the only person to have the test answers for an upcoming final and suddenly classmates will want you to share it with them, be the really smart guy in a class and suddenly people want tutoring or homework help. In all your college life have you seriously never had anyone want to do favours for you just because you had something that they wanted?
So much about the chicken fingers episode can still be derived from real world scenarios. No campus in existence would willingly allow students to do what they did in modern warfare.
"Permitted" is the right word cuz the paintball game was organized and initiated by the dean, and while he couldn't stop it, it doesn't change the fact that he started it and didnt think to establish any restrictions.
@monokhem ffs, most people watching community for the first time wouldn't just immediately absorb the insanity of the chicken fingers episode. It was unarguably insane, but it was gradual so by the time it reached ridiculous, the average viewer would've been settled in to this illusion that Abed had control over everyone.
I say modern warfare was the first to really sell insanity because just by watching it for the first time, shit went from 0 to 100 real quick over the course of Jeff's nap in the car, what people would assume was just gonna be some childish boring paintball game for a cheap DVD player turned into an insane war on the campus and we as the viewer just gets thrown into it with hardly any build-up.
"You've got nothing and your lies and straw man arguments are stupid and tedious"
Why not take a good look at your arguments and see if the average viewer thinks that when they watch this show the first time:
"Most people don't even eat at cafeterias" --- Lemme rephrase "you make it sound like it ain't realistic for people to eat there in the first place", I meant you make it sound like it ain't realistic for THAT MANY people to eat there in the first place. This show is in a fictional world where they've clearly established that people generally eat here instead of elsewhere.
Your whole statement about wanting chicken fingers over just eating in other fast food places --- This show is in a fictional world where they've clearly established that people generally eat here instead of elsewhere, severely unrealistic I know, but that's been the trend for most of this series
"...big assine craze on college campuses in the 90's" --- Who immediately remembers this in watching modern warfare?
"Modern warfare is much more realistic" --- You could be right, but the point i was making was which one really sold viewers on how insane the show was gonna be for the seasons to come, so yeah I may have flown off the handle if this argument turned into which episode was more insane. Even the placement of this episode being near the end of season 1 implies that further seasons will get wackier
People who I know and asked say they remember modern warfare more fondly than the chicken fingers episode, not because it may/may not have been more insane, but because it was insane all the way (at least immediately after the intro). And I may not have asked them why this was, but I could only assume it's because AGAIN the chicken fingers episode was gradual and built up and from what I remember watching it the first time, the ridicule of that episode just flew over my head, and I pretty much forgot about over time it til I started rewatching on Netflix
Contemporary American Poultry was an awesome episode, but there's a reason why paintball got 3 more episodes after Modern Warfare
Have Jeff WInger give a speech to Donald about coming back for the movie.
They don't need him.
Mickey E lol maybe. Let’s face it it would be lack lustre without him. We need Abed and Troy
@@ishish8816 I totally disagree. If this was Big Bang Theory more Abed and Troy would be great because that show has nothing substantial to offer. Troy and Abed are icing. They aren't even the cake, let alone the steak.
Season 6 is much stronger for Troy's absence. Troy is a cartoon, and entertaining cartoon, but still a cartoon. I like the weightier stuff. All of the best Abed episodes he is separated from Troy, Critical Film Studies, Intro to Film, Contemporary American Poultry.
If they brought Troy back the best thing they could do is show that Troy and Abed don't work anymore, that they have grown apart, and that at least one of them has matured past playing in cardboard boxes.
@@mickeye6428 ok thanks for your opinion
Mickey E I don’t think Troy is a cartoon by season 3 he starts showing a lot of depth as he realized he could be his own person

When Yvette is talking about how everybody made it big after community and Danny Pudi is shaking his head... it breaks my heart.
It's a shame.
I watched for the first time when the were releasing season 2 and I Always thought: " this Abed guy Will be a comedy monster", but unfortunatelly it didn't went this way.

@@viniciuspaiva3889 it's because the roles like Abed are very easy to be type casted.

I wish it ended better tho. Hopefully IF a movie is created, Dan Harmon can send these characters off better then the season 6 closer because I felt empty watching that episode, especially with Donald not being there in someway shape or form.
It's on Amazon Prime. I still rewatch Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Advanced Advanced Dungeons & Dragons from time to time.
@@MTWENTY The finale was amazing! The season was pretty weak but that run of last 4 episodes (RV, Espionage, Wedding, Finale) is one of the best run of episodes of the show imo. And that final end tag with Dan's voice-over is a perfect summary of the show straight from the horse's mouth
I really love to see how fond they are towards Donald, in everything they said they always reminded how talented he is and how they're proud of him which obviously hints that they still maintain a hella good relationship with him. I mean, maybe there would be a possibility that Donald would come back for the movie (but not gonna put my hopes high though), the casts have the most wholesome friendship ever and it's so obvious they'd try their best to make the movie happen.
why did he leave?
Ayat Al Akkad He was starting to really take off as Childish Gambino.
Ayat Al Akkad it wasn’t really for the music, he said he wanted to do different things on his own but he was, mainly, developing Atlanta (for a long time) by the time he left.
I hope he comes back too but with Donald you never know bc he loves moving forward and I feel like a community movie would be like going backwards in his view :(
MisterNiblet no I think he would do it, probably have a smaller part but still do it. If youve seen the call they did with the whole cast a couple days ago, you can just see how happy he is. I feel like he would be happy to do it.
Wow I love the care Yvette put into her character, for real they would have lost me if early on Shirley's character had less dignity
Same! As a young black nerd girl I found myself connecting to Shirley, Troy, & Annie the most. I’m so happy Yvette stood up for herself!! 👏🏿
yeah a great call from her to recognise who her character was so early (even before the writers did apparently lol)
That’s niiiiiice
Thank you! I thought it was awesome of her to speak up about that (and other things!)

So sad the whole Chevy Chase thing and that he didn't enjoy doing the show. His character was brilliant!
Yeah I don't get it, he was pretty much my favorite.
@@noworries129 Chevy is famous for being... difficult to work with. Honestly, hearing that there was tension and issues with him on set is pretty much par for the course.
That being said, I was sad when he left. However he acts when the camera isn't rolling, his character was great and he played Pierce very well.
baylaust I have a horrible feeling Chevy Chase didn’t have too much trouble playing Pierce. Like obviously he isn’t as horrible as Pierce (hopefully) but when I hear about what he says and does, they feel very similar
Honestly, Chase used his clout to the detriment of the show. That scene where he pantsed Shirley, Yvette Nicole Brown, probably wasn't planned at all and the conflict in S2 was a meta narrative on whether they should fire him for his continued bullshit.
Chevy was great at one thing: being the villain of the show that united the cast against him, onscreen and in real life.
Alison hitting us with a "POP WHAT?" has made my whole week.

Remedial chaos theory is the episode I show people who have never seen community. My theory if they like that episode, they'll like the series and my theory has yet to be proven wrong. I adore this show so much.
i show people Modern Warfare bc it's early enough that it doesn't spoil much of the character development and it shows how the series can go off the rails but that ep starts like any other episode. Also paintball.

Hello 3.14dododododododododododod
I agree, but also disagree. Most people like dark humor and understand when people are writing jokes for a character, whereas if the offensive part is the joke, it’s not as funny. Like, South Park, It’s Always Sunny, and Family Guy are all still on TV and people love it, people of all ages. People still love The Office too. Like, in The Office and It’s Always Sunny, the characters and their ignorance are the butt of the joke, people can laugh at that.
Lots of people who watch Community, of all ages, don’t really agree with the blackface, because the joke is on Chang, who doesn’t really realize he’s in blackface, he’s trying to cosplay as a dark elf. It’s also on Shirley, who doesn’t realize that he’s trying to be a dark elf, but she interprets it as blackface.
Hello 3.14dododododododododododod Some parts of the show would have to chang-e a bit, like the actors & creators mentioned here, but it would still be wildly popular on streaming. People are more nuanced than that, especially when the creators are willing to listen.
@@hello3.14dodododododododod5 The show's more popular than ever today thanks to being on Netflix and Hulu to stream so this makes no sense

i am really, REALLY late to the community party, but thanks to the show being put on netflix I finally got to watch it this past week after wanting to for literal years. it is now one of my favorite shows and it blows my mind what a genuine project it was, for the talented creators, writers, and cast. everyone really cared about it and looks back at it with such fondess, it warms my heart and also...is really inspiring! at the same time, it's sad to know it wasnt nearly as widely appreciated as it deserved but that shows just how special it was. with community now being on netflix I'm hoping more people will have access to it and fall in love with it!!! (very much holding onto hope for that movie!!)
I get exactly what you mean.
Well... I can tell you it worked, I recently watched it all and I LOVED IT! it's great! So I understand exactly what you are saying
Huge hit on netflix
I just got into it a month ago because of Rick and morty. After season 5 was over I just wanted more shows similar to it and I saw dancharmon also worked on community so I checked it out and the two really do have. Similar sense of humor!! I love both
i'm late too. i just started season 5
damn this is what you want from a reunion panel - where they actually give a shit, and are genuine and funny and appreciative - amazing :)

Ha, people from Netflix are coming. I’m so glad they’ve joined us.
Ethan right?!? Lol
Hey it’s great, it’s a signal boost to studios who are trying to understand what sticks and what doesn’t. The fact that Community has become a part of the cultural lexicon despite its publishers actively working against it highlights the power of good writing, character development, and casting. It means that executives are going to cede power to bend to creative more in order to make shows that captivate audiences.
It appeared on netflix + hulu and that's how I discovered it and binged all 6 seasons in a week. The trailer on hulu was what made me check it out (it was a teaser of the zombie episode where troy was in the yellow alien fighting costume) and I was just like ooooh what is this? This looks so interesting and I checked if netflix had it and binged it there. I believe if Community aired in 2020 or 2021, it would have gotten way more popular from the beginning as to compared to then. Community was definitely way ahead of its time. So many people are discovering this show since it was put on netflix and streaming sites plus since covid19 forced more people to stay indoors and binge tv shows. I am so happy to be able to find this show. It's now one of my fave shows of all time and I'm gonna keep rewatching while still hoping for a movie.
I'm so late! but I'm just glad I made it! 😆

This is the most wholesome (and accurate) comment I’ve ever seen
I come to really respect Joel after watching all these interviews now for his background works like bringing Dan back and getting Richard Ayoade. Such a leader.
"I see your values now."
I know the feeling. Several years ago some cable network at 2 or 3am was showing a short travel-documentary type of series that Joel McHale did where he interviewed interesting townspeople in other parts of the world. Joel was so humble and fascinated with these non-famous people that it made me have a lot of respect for him.
Edit: IMDb says Joel only did one episode. I know I tuned in on multiple nights and Joel was hosting each time, so maybe it was one long episode split into a few episodes? 🤔
Money hungry
Damn. Alison really coming in with deep cuts. She really did her homework. She even got the last line, "I'm gonna die by werewolf"
I believe on the DVD audio commentary they recorded way back when, Alison basically said "I'ma die by werewolf" was her fave line from that episode. She and Donald and Danny apparently rapped about it on set and such, lol.
@@cheekyboomboom8973 yep. I own the DVDs and have listened to the commentary from the first three seasons. that rap is also there in one of the blooper clips I think
Alison was really bringing it. Its always great to hear how she (and everyone else) talks about Donald. Dude was really loved on the show
@@Kruuppe I know, right? I think Dan mentioned later that Donald was supposed to make an appearance but could not make it in time.
What episode is that line from?
Yvette’s closing comments were so sweet! I almost teared up. Such a good thing, being a celebrator of people.
It is very interesting to see how a lot of the members of the cast work in part due to their natural connection with the character. Joel is so snarky, so direct, so laconic; Yvette is actually really nice and wholesome; Alison is endearing, but also very intense (she studied for the reunion like Annie would); Gillian's speech about how she knew she would very hardly be involved again in something so impactful is such a real, sincere, but also honest compliment, a very Britta statement; and Ken is actually just as much of a whirlwind as Chang. Danny is a nice surprise, so much laughter, not that much of a camera hogger unlike Abed, but you can also see how much he actually loved the show, and not just the work or the friends he did (someone commented below that it is sad he hasn't had more success, which is true because aside from Donald Glover and perhaps Yvette he might be the most versatile). And well, Jim Rash throws it out of the park with such a great, spontaneous rendition of the peanut bar rap, showcasing how talented he is. I am glad I finally decided to watch this long interview.
57:18 to 59:22 touched me so much because I didn't realize what the show meant to *me* until Gillian Jacobs and Danny Pudi put it in their own words. I think they really gave voice and humanity to the most underrepresented people in media, the outcasts who are left behind and misunderstood by society for *wanting* to be different. They are unlike other outcasts because they chose their paths and they don't want what everyone else wants: a well-paying job, marriage, and kids.
To put it in perspective, look at how most media portrays outcasts today. The Joker is a recent example. He wants what everyone else wants and it drives him insane because he can't have it. But we never question WHY he should want those things. Abed and Britta don't want those things at all. Abed obsesses over media because he loves the artistic world of possibility and meaning. People like Abed who love comics, videogames, movies and TV shows don't just want to be entertained, they want to vicariously experience the truth of life through fantasy. People like Britta fight for societal change because they want to be part of something bigger than themselves. Rather than opting out of society to enjoy the fantasies of media, they want to literally fight against reality to open it up to new possibilities.
Throughout the show, we see both Abed and Britta have suffered financially for their choices. Society doesn't reward people who want to be different. Abed is dependent on his father and Britta's life is deceptively financed by her family through her friends. By the finale, we know Britta tries to achieve independence as a bartender and Abed chooses to pursue a career in auteur cinema. Neither path is destined to pay well and they don't care. They still reject society's demands for conformity, however... unlike other programs, Community shows us that is OKAY! It doesn't teach you to judge these people. It teaches you to love and even admire them for wanting to be authentically THEMSELVES.
We can all feel that Community is something special and unique, unlikely to ever be repeated. That is because at the end of the day, the heart of Community is learning to accept yourself and your tribe---NO MATTER who or where you are in life. That is extremely subversive, powerful, and real.
Not all of us climb the career ladder to become traditionally "successful", like in every series finale ever. This would imply there is an end goal to life. In truth, that's why most happy endings seem inauthentic and forced. They doom their characters to a life of stasis. Community's series finale is different because it ends at the BEGINNING of every character's life, where they will no doubt change in unpredictable ways as they grow into the fully realized versions of themselves that they *found* during the show's six-season run.
Some of us just want to do what makes us *happy* with the people *we love* in our own little *communities*---that's Jeff, the Dean, Chang, and Britta. Some, having learned all they could but wanting more, join new communities or make their own---Troy, Shirley, and Abed. Either way, when we live authentically and share our experiences with others, life is beautiful. We enjoy the journey regardless of destination, making unforgettable friendships along the way. That is what Community is all about.
Great post
Awesome words to read and are so true. Love the series.
I wish we were friends irl
Different people also can desire relationships/marriage etcetera. It doesn't make them less "different". You say like all different people want to be alone forever, and the moment they enter relationships or reach some sort of stability they lose their uniqueness or become part of the " system". It doesn't work that way, no need for labels, mate. Also, Britta wasn't so different, she was rather shallow and hypocritical as it turned out.
But all the rest I really enjoyed, great comment in general.
Goosebumps & tears... ❤😭
"We were there at the end of Must See TV."
"We helped killed it."
37:39 What if when they all started babbling, Joel just did the hand thingie and they all shut up on cue I would've cried I think
I would've cried too.
Would’ve made my day
I use “Me so hungy me so hungy” at least five times a week and nobody knows it’s a reference ):
That part was so awkward lol
@@Themachomanic That was the point, she was high
I understand you girl, I understand you.
When I first started working at Panera bread n my co worker was preparing the bagels i pronounced them like Britta does n she just looked at me n said no
Macho Manic I’m awkward boo so idc 😴
37:14 Everyone does an impression of Joe Russo that kills me everytime and it reminds me how well everyone in this show worked together
haha I love how they're all doin it simultaneously haha
Community really was a prime example of creativity. The cast was also amazing as they could play these insane scenarios without it just being stupid. Plus, it is great seeing them all so supportive of one another. I have binged this show so many times and it just makes me happy. I do hope there could be a movie some day, and it would be great if there could be a flashback scene including Pierce. #sixseasonsandamovie
52:47 Oscar Award winner Jim Rash everybody.
I've never smiled so much, in so long.
In a sad world, Community always made me smile. Damn, I've watched it countless times now.
I love this cast so much. I love how much they love each other. I love Ken Jeong laughly intensely at everything. I love their quiet awkwardness when Dan Harmon starts talking about Chevy. I love Yvette championing them all. I love that they recognise how special it was. I love Gillian and Jim shamelessly performing bits from the show.
Community was/is the best comedy series ever to have graced our screens and its' return, in movie form, can't come soon enough.
I feel weird saying this, but upon a second watch, Season 6 is very underrated.
The only season that's really disliked is S4. Season 5 and 6 were great.
The season finale was the best finale I have ever watched. A perfect community episode(minus troy who was always my favourite, plus troy and abed as a whole different character).
Episode 4 was again very good. Genuinely it was a good season. Even the paintball episode was good, with the twist, giving that it lacked troy who enabled Abed s imagination.
Genuinely with what they had they did an amazing job. I still can't belive something this good exists.
This and bojack are the best written shows ever.
Dan even made the comment about jokes not being jokes by themselves but coming from their respective characters. This is what comedy should look like.
Just so so so so happy this exists.
It definitely gets better towards the second half of the season
monokhem fax I liked 4 I didn’t really like 5 that much tho
Season 5 and 6 are terrible. I don’t get why season 4 gets so much backlash. Seasons 5 and 6 had different vibes and felt force. Weren’t as interesting as the earlier seasons.
I don't want to piss anyone off but I'd like to say that I liked Community better than Friends, BBT and HIMYM ... I just wish all the main casts had remained till the last season...
.
Woooo.... thanks for the likes
you aren’t gonna piss off anyone w good taste
Community is better but the two shows are very different
VIPUL ANAND no dude your good its WAY better
I absolutely hate the other shows you mentioned 😹
No one is mad about those comparisons.
Yvette is absolutely the cast mom and she is so goddamn warm and supportive.
You can clearly tell she loves them all so much. She seems like the most wonderful person te be friends with ♡
Alison fixing Dani's hair at 35:20 makes my heart MELT :')
I haven't been this happy in a while. This is so great
Same here, same here.
Yeah. Just yeah.
I think it's a testament to how good this show is by the fact that they all remember each individual episode so vividly & clearly.
So many sitcoms have such a plethora of episodes that just blend together into one, so much so that each individual episode is equally disposable as the last, regardless of quality, it's the ambition and complete contempt for the normal that kept Community the freshest & most memorable sitcom ever made
Joel surprised everyone during dinner after this getting Donald Glover to show up. Ken was completely hammered. They talked about this in their new podcast. The darkest timeline.
Could you share it please?

Thank you so much
Everyone acting as Joe Russo at the same time is a perfect example of why this cast works well together 37:20
It looked as if they were all playing their characters, similar to whenever they all start shushing each other.
I would have loved it if Joel as Jeff winger would have done the hand silence motion and it worked! 🤣🤣🤏
I was in Afghanistan from 2010-2011. I introduced my platoon to Community and we would get together many nights and watch it. It was a great way for us to bond and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
That’s incredible and almost impossible to imagine what that must have been like but it’s heartwarming and a very human in what I have to believe is a chaotic world. What I’m trying to say is thank you for your service and for sharing with the world
the greatest tragedy to humanity is that this show went under the radar to so many people and didn't get 100 seasons and two movies... :(
Oh don't be a drama queen. It's maybe sad but definitely not the "greatest tragedy"
Yep. BUT, because this happened, this will become a legend. Much like Arrested Development, Parks and Recreation, The Office, Brooklyn Nine-Nine will be. They will keep cropping and peaking for generations and generations to come, and they will influence young filmmakers indefinitely.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 lol it's exaggeration. Calm down
the real great tragedy is the 4th season
I loved the thing that they had a Latvian Independence Day parade in the blanket fort on the actual Latvian Independence Day
The episode is mentionned of the wikipedia page of the Trīdeksnis.
35:13 the sweetest moment of this entire thing.
i know right so adorable. Both of them were really close on doing the show after Donald left.
Allison Brie is a treasure.
@@enricomiceli8704 There's a very long line
