everyone told me when I was just starting this show that Abed would be my favorite character but it's not even close.. jim rash put a smile on my face for every scene he was in, which was literally more valuable than gold to a depressed recently broken up introvert like me
So the Dean heard there was an actual fire, changed into an appropriate outfit, THEN tells the study group...ALL BEFORE he actually announces to Greendale there is a legitimate FIRE. 🤣🤣🤣
Aside from the Payday rap, which is clearly the funniest Dean moment in the show, I love the Good news/bad news because he comes back for his cane and goes "come on Craig. Get your life together." makes me laugh every time.
I re-watched the episode the other day. What's best is that he comes back to the study group and he says something like "people loved my outfit in the bank. They asked me all kinds of questions!"
"Greendale's music department is flat baroque" is one of my favorite puns of all time... And I just now noticed that the 'flat' part is also a musical pun!
@@jessm229 not quite. There’s an end credits bit with Troy and Abed where they pull the fire alarm to get out of a test. But when they pull it, it just rips off the wall. They tell the dean to cancel school or they’ll tell everyone. He agrees, and then sticks the fake fire alarm back on the wall. 😂
@@chrisvazquez7 okay wait so if the fire alarms were fake, then how did shirley pull them in the season two paintball final and trigger the orange paint to go all over the library? dod he get real ones installed between the episodeS?
I've seen the Troy and Britta "to meet different people!" scene probably a dozen times at least and this is the first time I noticed the GIANT green apple that's next to them for no reason lmao
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that the Dean was dressed as a Candy Bar during his rap because it was Pay Day! Talk about being late to the punchline. 😂🍫
*fire breaks out* Most people: *run out, pull the fire alarm, notice that the fire alarms are not working because this is Greendale and shout warnings to everyone you see that there is a fire and to evacuate* Dean: *changes into firefighter outfit first and casually walks on over to his favorite student group to give them the first heads up* Never change, Dean. Never change.
I never made the connection.. In "this better not awaken anything in me" the man is dressed like a dalmatian. In the first clip of this video, there is both a dalmatian on The Dean's desk, and what i think is a picture of a dalmatian on his wall
I always theorized that he wasn't actually an accredited Dean for the college, his name was just Dean Craig Pelton, and there happened to have been a new Dean named regular Craig Pelton who got into a car accident or something and never showed up. Someone went "Oh are you the new Dean? Dean Pelton?" And he went "wow! Everyone here is so friendly!" And that was that.
They left out one of the best ones where abed is using the deans map to help get the group navigated back to campus and he asks the dean what all the circled truck stops are with their ratings of “number of thumbs” next to each 😂😂😂
I just realized Dean was telling everyone about the fire himself because the school doesn’t have working fire alarms The attention to detail is amazing
It's a tradition to remind myself that Jim Rash has an Oscar whenever I see stuff like this.
He’s clearly earned it
Damn, I had no idea that he won an Oscar
@@jezpeep538 won for writing the screenplay for The Descendants, a movie from 2011 with George Clooney.
I love the blooper where he comes in late and Joel quips "someone's thinking about his Oscar lunch"
He should have an Emmy too
Oh! Dean's in this? This better not awaken anything in me.
“That’s nice. I guess…”
"If you're into that kinda thing..."
Oh my god, even his comment!! LOOK AT HIS COMMENT!!! UNGGGGG
This comment is streets ahead
@@MouseClicker3000 What a Craigular Joe
Him dressed as the devil weilding the chainsaw while saying "Gay Marriage!" will never not crack me up.
THAT IS WHY I CAME HERE.
I SEARCHED THE WORDS "Dean Pelton", AND I WAS REWARDED WITH THIS FINE COMPILATION OF VIDEO.
Yes!
current like count 666 lool
Also "JESUS WEPT"
@@low-lee “for there were no more worlds to conquer!”
I love the Dean's infamous rap, and everyone's reactions. I don't blame Joel or Gillian for fighting back laughter, I'd probably do the same thing! 🤣
I feel like not laughing would be the hardest part of playing on that show
She looks right at the camera too lmao
everyone told me when I was just starting this show that Abed would be my favorite character but it's not even close.. jim rash put a smile on my face for every scene he was in, which was literally more valuable than gold to a depressed recently broken up introvert like me
Arguably the funniest single bit in the history of television.
The keyboard guy's face is priceless as well. 😂
So the Dean heard there was an actual fire, changed into an appropriate outfit, THEN tells the study group...ALL BEFORE he actually announces to Greendale there is a legitimate FIRE. 🤣🤣🤣
Naw, he already had the outfit on
A man's gotta have a code.
Wow. I can't believe it. You got the joke!
@@manami3164he probably set the fire himself just to have a reason to touch Jeff
The Dean is so much more than a craig-ular guy. He is a real Deanius. He makes new versions of 80s classics, raps and even has french thoughts
I see what you dean`t there, don't chang a thing.
“Well, print 5000 more! I’m trying to save a planet here”
One of the best irony ever 🤣
The plural is ironeese
Aside from the Payday rap, which is clearly the funniest Dean moment in the show, I love the Good news/bad news because he comes back for his cane and goes "come on Craig. Get your life together." makes me laugh every time.
I have to go to the bank today. What am I supposed to tel them? That I had good news and bad news…
I re-watched the episode the other day. What's best is that he comes back to the study group and he says something like "people loved my outfit in the bank. They asked me all kinds of questions!"
@@Raikkox36 "I had the deepest conversation" etc.
The IMDb joke/scene has to be one of the biggest laughs for me lol. And Annie's face at the end is just perfect too
I’m not ashamed to say that joke is why I started watching the series 😂
That was tragic
Annie’s face is always perfect.
Man this show was so wild. It’s so original and non conventional I feel lucky that something like this was created.
I agree, the jokes were incredible and the character dynamics were heartwarming
It's missing one of my favourite bits in the whole show: the Dean texting Takeshi believing it was Jeff :')
Hellos? The Deans?
Go bring me can of olive.
Omg that was amazing, and when he got Jeff the cans of olives
FIVE CANS?!
"This isn't the first time you do this!"
“Oh Britta’s in this?” Gets me every time 😂😂
"Greendale's music department is flat baroque" is one of my favorite puns of all time... And I just now noticed that the 'flat' part is also a musical pun!
2:14 he's using a megaphone because the fire alarms are fakes.
Wasnt there a bit where someone pulled a fire alarm and it like activated blacklights cuz he rented the building out for raves at night?
@@jessm229 not quite. There’s an end credits bit with Troy and Abed where they pull the fire alarm to get out of a test. But when they pull it, it just rips off the wall. They tell the dean to cancel school or they’ll tell everyone. He agrees, and then sticks the fake fire alarm back on the wall. 😂
@@jessm229This was in the episode "The First Chang Dynasty". That's when they wanted to get past Chang's security
@@chrisvazquez7 okay wait so if the fire alarms were fake, then how did shirley pull them in the season two paintball final and trigger the orange paint to go all over the library? dod he get real ones installed between the episodeS?
@@ummmolly Sprinklers, not fire alarms.
the peanut freestyle rap to subsequent possession and gasping mental breakdown just gets me every single time
This is unDEANiably the DEANfinitive greatest hits of Dean Craig Pelton.
Did we really had to have the file's pov while it was being drowned? Yes, absolutely
Literally laughed out loud when Dean shoo'd Darcy away
oh oh and "I have to go to the bank today.... get it together Dean!"
Kicking Darcy out without a word of dialogue about why was such a good move
Every Dean moment makes him my favorite Dean.
"blissful pansexual imp" is my goal in life.
The peanut bar rap is by far my favorite bit in any piece of media ever. It hasn't once failed to make me die laughing. It's so, so funny.
15:31 that climax of Conspiracy Theories episode should be in a Hall of Fame of some kind. So good!
Especially because the last person who’s shot is a tertiary character, so when they end up being shot you think that he’s actually dead this time
"Wish this hoodie was a time hoody 😭"
"Fact: In 100% of all fake gun related shootings, the victim is always the one with the fake gun." - Officer Cackowski
The whole episode is probably my favorite episode of anything ever.
There can be no higher praise for an actor than to be told you loved them in……IMDB 😂
That was tragic. LOL I loved that response. 😆
"I have to go to the bank today" and it's delivery leave me in tears of laughter everytime.
The best part is how Laybourne knows the dean's sexuality better than the school board.
“You get this wrong one more time, I’m segregating the school”
This has to be one of the greatest lines on tv in the 21 century
"Stop saying I'm different!"
Ironically, it's proven that their test scores would improve.
"Would that this hoodie were a time hoodie." One of my all-time favorite lines.
I've seen the Troy and Britta "to meet different people!" scene probably a dozen times at least and this is the first time I noticed the GIANT green apple that's next to them for no reason lmao
Shout-out to "Gay Marriage!" for being unforgettable as my first Dean moment ever and for getting me into the show back when I was a newbie
Honestly the best character in Community
So he got changed into a skimpy firefighter outfit *after* discovering the fire 😂
the fire mayyy have awakened something in him
How else would you announce a fire?😂
You can tell yourself that if it makes you feel better....
His method of deaning is streets ahead!
Academy award winner ladies and gentleman! Truely the best dean
Shirleys facial reactions make every dean scene with her its just iconic
i always forget the french toughts and they always crack me up
"Gay marriage" is probably the BEST out of context scene in the history of TV
"I love you innnnnnn ... IMDB" will never fail getting me to laugh.
The rap is just... it's so good. Like genuinely good. If it was a full song, I would listen to it.
Personal favorite is when Jeff and Slater start dating and the Dean goes through the questionnaire regarding student teacher relationships.
when he does karaoke with Jeff at the mall lol
I can never staple anything without hearing/humming the Dean's stapling song.
*“AND JESUS WEPT, FOR THERE WERE NO MORE WORLDS TO CONQUER!”*
“Dear God!”
dean is so ICONIC
Jim Rash needs more recognition!
His freestyle will forever be my favorite moment in the show.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that the Dean was dressed as a Candy Bar during his rap because it was Pay Day! Talk about being late to the punchline. 😂🍫
I still don't get it .
@@archang3l7 Athe costume he’s wearing is a chocolate bar called a Payday
@@jamestitus8404 oh i never heard of that chocolate. Thanks for clarifying.
@@jamestitus8404 Candy bar* !
@@lotusinn3 Oh yeah, my bad. I forgot the original Payday isn’t chocolate
Good Dean 2:17 ! Also you missed my favorite - Dean asking Brenda to tap the ACB's call lmaooo I was crying laughing at that
Look at the extension XD
*Darcy you’ve got a cold. You’re sick go home!*
😂 love that he did that for Annie
He's a national treasure
Global Treasure.
Go home darcy will always be the moment that confirmed my absolute love for the dean
The rap is one of my favourite...anythings!🥰 I search and listen to it repeatedly, for years🥰
*pulls an orange out of their hoodie pocket and hands it to a bewildered Annie*
"Scene four...."
The rap always gets me because of how hard Gillian Jacobs and Joel McHale are trying to keep it together.
My fan theory is that the shortfall on the budget for paychecks that week was exactly as much as the purchase price of the nut bar costume.
Flat baroque is his best line, Handels down
Dean with his shirt off (a la tortured artist director or body swap with Jeff) DID awaken something in me!
"Well I'm a peanut bar and I'm here to say..."
🤣🤣🤣
"Your checks will arrive on another day.."
*fire breaks out*
Most people: *run out, pull the fire alarm, notice that the fire alarms are not working because this is Greendale and shout warnings to everyone you see that there is a fire and to evacuate*
Dean: *changes into firefighter outfit first and casually walks on over to his favorite student group to give them the first heads up*
Never change, Dean. Never change.
Twentdean deantastic minutes! And Jesus wept, for there were no more Dean scenes to show
Mindeants😂
the dean is hands down the funniest character. jim rash couldn’t have done it better he delivered beautifully
100% the backbone of the show
"Why would anyone who gets payed to do something be at Grendale?" Is such a fantastic line
11:13 "better have a plan B" cut to Dean in the bee costume 😂😂 its the little things
Absolutely OBSESSED with Dean Pelton 😂
The make up job on the Sadie Hawkin's dance episode was tremendous.
I've definitely pulled the "Get out of here" Line on my dog multiple times. Gives him the sillies.
Oh, the gloriousness that is John Goodman! My favorite scene of the series
The shadow thing is like the holt-bone-skit of “Community” Overused in every compilation but always a delight
BONE!!!
@@Tonyhouse1168 "Look at his shadow!!!"
Alternate title: The Dean being the best part of Communtiy.
I only _just now_ made the Captain America elevator scene connection, dean lord
"Greendale's music department is flat baroque!" is my absolute favorite Community joke.
Dean Pelton is one of the greatest TV characters ever
00:08 Dean also trained Raygun
This is pure joy - even the stuff from Season 4
Hitman Dean
elevator scene is 1 of my fav
😂😂🤣🤣
the “wowee a real big time celebrity wants to be in my commercial” bit ALWAYS gets me it’s so good
He was such a good character… this is pure entertainment
The title flashing before each clip spoils the line, but I appreciate the compilation
Genius. Simply genius. His performance never fails.
All classic bits, superbly delivered...
Gillian is so cute, especially after that payday rap
I never made the connection.. In "this better not awaken anything in me" the man is dressed like a dalmatian. In the first clip of this video, there is both a dalmatian on The Dean's desk, and what i think is a picture of a dalmatian on his wall
The “Come on I’m Dean” and the Freestyle Peanut rap are two things I sing in my head on a weekly basis
The Freestyle rap apology might be the funniest thing ever put to TV and that alone is reason enough to watch past season 3
A clean, mean, Dean machine!
I always theorized that he wasn't actually an accredited Dean for the college, his name was just Dean Craig Pelton, and there happened to have been a new Dean named regular Craig Pelton who got into a car accident or something and never showed up. Someone went "Oh are you the new Dean? Dean Pelton?" And he went "wow! Everyone here is so friendly!" And that was that.
I don’t think "and Jesus wept" gets as much credit as it deserves
I really liked the ACB's bit where he asked to tap the call, and then saying "we have stables?"
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Academy Award winning Jim Rash!
They left out one of the best ones where abed is using the deans map to help get the group navigated back to campus and he asks the dean what all the circled truck stops are with their ratings of “number of thumbs” next to each 😂😂😂
The genius of not saying "frankly my dean, I didn't give a damn."
The Dean drowning the serial # file is my favorite part of the entire show.
Dean becomes a fave character on rewatching. "Would this be a time hoodie" never fails!
Definitely do a compilation of every time he works in the word ‘Dean’ into….well, into anything.
Payday... good grief that's one of my fav. I cry laughing everytime I watch.
Why is he so relatable???
He was so proud of his baroque line
18:23 this moment was beautiful....fr
He was one of my favorite characters in the show, within top 3 for sure 😂💯
I just realized Dean was telling everyone about the fire himself because the school doesn’t have working fire alarms
The attention to detail is amazing
After I heard about the passing of Tina Turner, my first thought was Jim dressing as Tina in the costume montage..
