So people for people who watch Cougar Town but not Community, when they watched that last scene they probably just thought that was a really shit extra lol
Wait, if Cougar Town is the show and Abed is the additional character, that means Community is the real-life in this scenario.. yet, in cougar town that girls says that they’ve watched the first season dvd of community.. and they also appear on community... which is which ... damn
OMG never realised they referenced Abed's charting of the girls' cycles before 208 - OR Troy's birthday before 210! This show is quite possibly the most Easter-egg packed gem of a show I've ever seen. Six seasons, a graphic novel and a broadway musical!
that a lot of things of future epsodes in robocop vision. the clyces of the girls, Troy Birthday, Get starburns to Troy and Abed in the morning. every scene have a thing of future epsode, is perfect.
@IHaveNoClue1234 Some of the executive producers of Cougar Town and Community are friends (they used to work together on Scrubs, like Cougar Town's Bill Lawrence and Community's Neil Goldman and Garrett Donovan) and starting toying with the idea of having fun promoting each other's struggling shows through fun in-show references. It's all good-natured, and thank heavens NBC and ABC were totally okay with the cross-network promotion!
HAHAHAHAHA i didn't even think Cougar Town actually existed (i have no cable, i just hear about good tv shows), so seeing this and Abed ACTUALLY on the set is just so fuckin funny! made my day
For anyone who is unaware, Community also crossed over with a show called Chuck to a lesser extent. One of the actors from Chuck was in the old Greendale commercial shown in season 3 and that same year, Danny Pudi and Yvette Nicole Brown showed up in an episode of Chuck together as employees at the fictional Buy More store where many of the characters worked on the show. ua-cam.com/video/vQMz48Ssjw0/v-deo.html
You should. Get through the first half of the 1st season - which isn't great...but then the show finds itself and takes off. The 2nd and 3rd seasons are total perfection.
@FreaKyRandoM That one is the most subtle reference of all, and I think they actually edit it out of reruns. When Abed's robocop vision comes up, in the bottom right corner under "Memos," it says "Record CougarTown"
Cougar Town really needs to show Community some more love. They've only mentioned the show by name once. Abed is constantly expressing his love for Cougar Town.
@tabularasaconfirmed The neighbor/boyfriend/bartender - Grayson (Josh Hopkins) - did in fact cameo. Bill Lawrence made a point to have his cast cameo on as many shows as possible during the Cougar Town hiatus as a stunt to keep some publicity going (and just to have fun!) It's a whole bunch of crossovers, and the user godonlyknowssarah (a prolific Cougar Town vid poster) has uploaded a couple of the random crossovers. Just search "cougar town castle" and you'll find her account.
Alright, I've got an explanation for the fiction loop, how the works can be fiction in eachother. Community is a show in both, however, it has different actors, but a similar dynamic, minus Abed. Abed watched it before going to college, and got fixated on it, but it was probably cut short, maybe season 3 or 4. This explains why Abed acts like life is a TV show, because it *was*, and he was a self-insert. This would also explain why "Make friends with a group of misfits" was on his college to-do list. He was recreating the show in real life
@Alison9487 At one point during the chant, it focuses on a blonde woman in red and a guy. They are Busy Phillips and Dan Byrd, who star on Cougar Town (and also the last clip of this video)
I'm currently in an infinite loop, if cougar town is a show in the community universe, but community is a show in the cougar town universe, which one exists? The only way I was able to escape this infinite logic loop was to recognize that we never actually saw the show community in the cougar town universe, just heard it mentioned, which could mean that there is a show called community in the cougar town universe but it is not the same community we know. That is the only way that Abed could both reference and appear on it.
Also, the people in Scrubs watch the Big Bang Theory, and the people on BBT watch Scrubs. Not nearly as cool as Community (haven't seen Cougartown), but thought it was worth mentioning.
I just double checked if his character's name on Mythic Quest was "Chad" because it's been a while since I've watched it and Danny's performance in that scene is so close to his work on MQ. It's "Brad," but now I desperately wish he'd been named Chad to really bring this full circle.
@reeka411 Yep. It's season 2, episode 19 - Critical Film Studies of Community. It's part of the episode that was a Pulp Fiction turned My Dinner With Andre parody/homage.
@tvgirl17 just thought it was really cool that right under that it said "Troy's birthday 14 days", the episode about Troys Birthday is third after this, it is more like a month after this was aired but still.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was in that awkward final season. Dr. Cox was telling one of the interns to record the Big Bang Theory for him so he can "see what the fuss was about" or something like that.
@hammockhavoc S1 DVDs came out when S2 began so it could helped get S3 renewed. DVDs show viewer commitment, they're an easy way to get more viewers (you always have access to the best episodes when friends come over and you can lend the DVD out) and shows with high dvd sales tend to eventually become more popular. Of course that doesn't matter if ratings continue to suck. Harmon does say it can go beyond 4 but he normally mocks the idea after. I really only care about one more series anyways.
@hammockhavoc Community would have been canceled already (from what I've heard) but DVD sales were strong so they renewed it. They might keep it for that reason, if you look at shows with strong DVD sales they tend to make networks more money in the long run than other shows do because their cult following grow exponentially over time. I like to think that networks are starting to learn the benefits of that. Anyways Community ends when Jeff graduates so we only need a fourth season.
@knilzero Have u never been on youtube before? It's to avoid getting taken down for copyright issues. The first time i uploaded it in May it was removed. Mirroring it gets around this.
An emphatic YES! Get thru the first half of the first season - which isn't great...but then the show really finds it's footing and takes off. The 2nd and 3rd seasons of Cougar Town are utter PERFECTION.
@tabularasaconfirmed Speaking of godonlyknowssarah, her account is LOADED with Cougar Town videos, so she's a great source for all you Cougar Town fans out there! (I'll stick with Community, so if anyone has any video requests, I'll do my best to help out!)
HAHA WTF!?!?!? ive never seen cougar town but when i saw abed,... sorry.. when i saw chad in the background i just flipped. its been a while since i've laughed this hard.. haha.. thanks! :D (it really looks like abed trying to be another character.. fucking spot on!)
I think he was running off to max out his credit cards and move to Hawaii, like the character eating at Subway in his bathrobe does later in that episode.
Wait a minute... Cougar town is a TV show in Community but Community is a TV show in Cougar town.... Wtf is this some kind of TV Inception? Is reality a lie?! Am I in a TV show!?! Some sick sadistic TV show?!?
That’s pretty genius meta writing having abed actually appear In cougar town
And how it was at subway was the best
As Abed
Lol I was about to say but he did. And he pooped his pants
Pretty streets ahead if you ask me
It's always bugged me how his description never lined up with what we see though.
So people for people who watch Cougar Town but not Community, when they watched that last scene they probably just thought that was a really shit extra lol
Turns out he reveals that he shit himself lol
I think the idea was that he over head the conversation about Hawaii and went to buy tickets before he changed his mind and that he shit his pants
Chicken tender or the best extra
So community is a show in Cougar town, but Cougar town is a show in community?
And don't forget Scrubs
that wrinkles my brain
@@ihavemoreshipsthanthenavy99 Get a load of this wrinkles
No, cougar town is on tv. Community is in our hearts..... 6 seasons and a movie.
@@bocou Aww
it's only fitting that abed's cameo is in the middle of a subway product placement lol
Wait, if Cougar Town is the show and Abed is the additional character, that means Community is the real-life in this scenario.. yet, in cougar town that girls says that they’ve watched the first season dvd of community.. and they also appear on community... which is which ... damn
To answer that we need to talk about timelines
“If you watch the show, how can you be in it?”
@@Romoa345 it's an alternate-universe version of you who watches the show.
If you wonder that, you are streets behind.
Theory: the community they were watching in cougar town was the one that Abed made in that debate team episode. Like off brand community sorta.
OMG never realised they referenced Abed's charting of the girls' cycles before 208 - OR Troy's birthday before 210! This show is quite possibly the most Easter-egg packed gem of a show I've ever seen. Six seasons, a graphic novel and a broadway musical!
Theres a paintball game on Steam now too..
that a lot of things of future epsodes in robocop vision.
the clyces of the girls, Troy Birthday, Get starburns to Troy and Abed in the morning.
every scene have a thing of future epsode, is perfect.
a novel and musical- pardon?
@@Yggdriell s5 e2 bulletin board falls, s5 e6 episode based on it
Danny Pudi is absolutely fantastic in this episode. Just the way he delivers his lines is so awesome!
first time I watched this, I realized Danny is a great actor
Now that I've actually seen My Dinner with Andre, I realize how perfectly he channeled Andre. It's uncanny.
You should watch Mythic Quest since it shows how great Danny can act.
2:32

i've never watched cougar town, so the abed scene at the end was completly new to me, and hilarious.
Dang, Danny is acting while he's acting.
At 5:00 you see Laurie Keller (Busy Phillips) and Travis Cobb (Dan Byrd) from Cougar Town in the second season paintball finale of Community
In the season 2 finale those two characters from Cougar Town were in the crowd of students cheering for Pierce.
In the subway scene Danny Pudi acted Abed acting like a character from CougarTown
HAHAHAHAHA i didn't even think Cougar Town actually existed (i have no cable, i just hear about good tv shows), so seeing this and Abed ACTUALLY on the set is just so fuckin funny! made my day
I love it when he looks at the waiter with such lust and whispers, "thank you" i couldn't stop laughing haha
Cougar Town has also changed it’s intro title card to “Cougarton Abbey” (3x11) and one of their subtitles in the title has been an Abed quote (3x12)
The best is in the first scene when Abed is analyzing the girl. It references Troy's birthday, Annie's period and, of course, Cougar Town haha
@SunnyDest When his Robocop vision comes up, under "Memos" in the bottom right corner, it says "Record Cougartown"
And Troy's birthday in 2 weeks 😭😭
*Rowboat Cop*

I've watched every ep of community in excess of 20 times each. How have I never noticed Busy and Dan chanting 'Human Beings' in the Paintball episode?
5:29 subway is actually STUPID expensive.
Haha not today. That’s damn good!
I only noticed Abed halfway between that scene haha lost my shit!
you weren't the only one
Ok...now Abed needs to be in Doctor Who
I'm seriously thinking about watching Cougar town just because of Abed😂
You should. Get through the first half of the 1st season - which isn't great...but then the show finds itself and takes off. The 2nd and 3rd seasons are total perfection.
@@TonyLeadholm is it w comedy ? Or more like drama ?
@@sit-insforsithis1568 Oh total comedy. Created by Bill Lawrence who created Scrubs, Ted Lasso, etc.
wow he really memorised all of that
2:30- 4:30 is one of the most beautiful scenes in television history
@FreaKyRandoM That one is the most subtle reference of all, and I think they actually edit it out of reruns. When Abed's robocop vision comes up, in the bottom right corner under "Memos," it says "Record CougarTown"
no one:

Cougar Town really needs to show Community some more love. They've only mentioned the show by name once. Abed is constantly expressing his love for Cougar Town.
The attention to detail in "Community" was streets ahead.
@tabularasaconfirmed The neighbor/boyfriend/bartender - Grayson (Josh Hopkins) - did in fact cameo.

0:29 waiiit, Cougar Town references _Community?!_
Abed actually made me watch Cougar Town. Maybe Scrubs had it's influence too. So far i'm on season 1 episode 7 and i'm not so sure it's worth it.
The first season is their worst one.
Cougar Town really starts to take off and find itself the Thanksgiving episode of Season 1. Season 2 and 3 are absolute perfection.
"Sharice is a bad row boat, sink her" 🤣
Looked for this comment 😂
Brittas the worst
The scene at the end killed me. i didn't notice Danny Pudi in the background until about 5:40 so it felt like he just appeared there instantly.
Awesome Cougar Town and Community Video.

I may have to start watching Cougar Town.
It's free on Amazon Prime as of today and I'm enjoying it.
@@JeniJustJeni I just finished it and it's pretty good. Not community good but good.
BUT WHICH ONE'S REAL?! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
I'm currently in an infinite loop, if cougar town is a show in the community universe, but community is a show in the cougar town universe, which one exists? The only way I was able to escape this infinite logic loop was to recognize that we never actually saw the show community in the cougar town universe, just heard it mentioned, which could mean that there is a show called community in the cougar town universe but it is not the same community we know.

Yes
I can’t help but wonder what Cougar Town viewers who weren’t familiar with Community think of that random guy at Subway
Danny Pudi shouldve been in a seen with Courtney Cox to fully complete his reference but I digress
God, this is the TV series’ version of Escher’s “Drawing hands”. Amazing
Also, the people in Scrubs watch the Big Bang Theory, and the people on BBT watch Scrubs. Not nearly as cool as Community (haven't seen Cougartown), but thought it was worth mentioning.
And BOTH shows had Subway product placement and spots!!!
I just double checked if his character's name on Mythic Quest was "Chad" because it's been a while since I've watched it and Danny's performance in that scene is so close to his work on MQ. It's "Brad," but now I desperately wish he'd been named Chad to really bring this full circle.
The season 4 Halloween episode in Pierce's mansion also mentions Cougar Town heavily.
Can we just appreciate how awesome Dany Pudi is?
#SIXSEASONSANDAMOVIE
Chad should make an extended cameo on Couger Town
then i might consider actually watching the show
Both shows lasted 6 seasons, both changed networks and both ended in 2015.
@reeka411 Yep. It's season 2, episode 19 - Critical Film Studies of Community. It's part of the episode that was a Pulp Fiction turned My Dinner With Andre parody/homage.
Did Cougartown get a deal with Subway like Chuck did?
Or Community did?!?! Remember SUBWAY the character played by an actor who ironically was in another of Bill Lawrence comedies...Scrubs.
haha it always cracks me up watching abed eat something and talk with his mouth full of food
Did anyone notice that Abed is imitating Quentin Tarantino when he is talking to Jeff? I thought his impersonation was very cleverly done.
..... no, he's reenacting the movie "my dinner with andre"
The crazy thing is this means cougar town is a fictional show in its own continuity
So cougar town is a fictional show in the community universe but community also exists in cougar town. This is wrinkling my brain
the actors from cougartown i never noticed omg..
@tvgirl17 just thought it was really cool that right under that it said "Troy's birthday 14 days", the episode about Troys Birthday is third after this, it is more like a month after this was aired but still.
Wait, Cougar Town is a real show? I always thought it was a fictional show in Community.
Danny Pudi is superb actor
I bet Bill Lawrence made a fortune off of this.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was in that awkward final season. Dr. Cox was telling one of the interns to record the Big Bang Theory for him so he can "see what the fuss was about" or something like that.

I like to think that networks are starting to learn the benefits of that. Anyways Community ends when Jeff graduates so we only need a fourth season.
"My DInner with Andre" version with Cougar Town, but his pace is just like Andre Gregory character and his Polish forests.
Britta thinks it rowboat cop. "yea and shes a bad rowboat, sink her".
Wow, what an actor....
5:30 that's a subtle Community ref if I've ever seen one
I actually really liked cougar town. It was fun.
It was one of the best things I ever watched. I was so in love with Ellie
What about Cougarton Abbey
So abed sold some of his action figure how many and which ones?
@Impossible3144 That's what I thought but it's much easier for community to do it than CT.
4:08+ great acting here lmao
Two of my favorite shows together
So that’s the reason why the scene happened!!
Season 2, episode 19 - Critical Film Studies
You just wrinkled my brain, man...
What about the reference in season 4 in the Halloween episode when abed got Annie to watch Cougar Town
This came out before those aired I think
There's another reference in cougar town's title card from Abed
Cool cool cool meta meta meta
haha thats awesome! abed really went to cougar town xD and he really pooped his pants
It's a shame the credits list his real name as someone random when they should have done Danny played by Abed Nadir
snow is falling guy!!!
#sixseasonsandamovie !
SHOW'S GONNA LAST TWO WEEKS!
@tvgirl17 ohhh, cool.
i totally missed that, thanks. :D
I wonder why they would edit it out of re-runs..
@knilzero Have u never been on youtube before? It's to avoid getting taken down for copyright issues. The first time i uploaded it in May it was removed. Mirroring it gets around this.
I got a subway ad.
But Abed said Courteney had nailed that scene, then he pooped his pants. This woman is not Courteney cox.
Community watchers, is Cougar Town decent?
An emphatic YES! Get thru the first half of the first season - which isn't great...but then the show really finds it's footing and takes off. The 2nd and 3rd seasons of Cougar Town are utter PERFECTION.
It's a great show bogged down by a bad title that alienates potential male viewers.
@tabularasaconfirmed Speaking of godonlyknowssarah, her account is LOADED with Cougar Town videos, so she's a great source for all you Cougar Town fans out there! (I'll stick with Community, so if anyone has any video requests, I'll do my best to help out!)
This is why we don't hang out!!
HAHA WTF!?!?!? ive never seen cougar town but when i saw abed,... sorry.. when i saw chad in the background i just flipped. its been a while since i've laughed this hard.. haha.. thanks! :D
(it really looks like abed trying to be another character.. fucking spot on!)
why does abed run away in the last clip?
He actually pooped his pants. That's why he didn't answer Jeff if he did or did not do it.
I think he was running off to max out his credit cards and move to Hawaii, like the character eating at Subway in his bathrobe does later in that episode.
2:58 his likeness to Andre is incredible
