The great thing about these homage episodes aren't homages just for a gimmick. They facilitate one of several things: Character relationship growth and/or analysis, character growth/analysis, and characterization.
Yes, what I love about community is how these episodes are fluff they are just something fun, they're more than just fun they build upon the characters and develop them.
“You’re gonna die you little fuckinf bastards!” *freeze frames like found footage of Big Foot* “part pillow, part man” never seizes to make me fucking cackle. Brilliant
I love the homages and parodies because they take the subject really serious and actually do a good job of pleasing the fan base of the subject, like dnd or law and order etc.
Great explanation of why Community is the best show ever. This is what I try to say when I explain to people what's so great about it, but this video does it way more articulately. I'll definitely be showing this to people I'm introducing to the show!
I was surprised to see no follow up video yet because of how well executed this one is, I’ve never seen someone put all these insights together in an analysis video so well. Thank you so much for this
Im genuinely confused why this video doesn't have more appreciation this was so obviously thought out and took a long time to make, either way its awesome
Great video! Community is still one of my all time favourite shows! I think my one small issue with it is I always feel like I've got to explain to people unfamiliar with the show to give it a chance, because imo early s1 has it's moments, but is relatively formulaic in it's sitcom genre. It plays a bit with tropes and homages early on, but doesn't really start to embrace all that until really late into s1. When I first ever watched the show, I wasn't really captured by it until the chicken fingers episode, which I think was the major turning point for the series as a whole. I think rewatching early s1 you can pick up a bit better on the parodies they were going for, but when watching it passively for the first time I don't think it's necessarily obvious they're there until chicken fingers mafia movie slaps you in the face. I've *still* got a fair few friends who said they tried watching it and couldn't get into it, but never got past mid-way s1, then I have to be that annoying person who's like "it gets better I swear!".
Love the show and loved your video. I don't know if anyone else said that but the Modern Warfare episode was directed by Justin Lin and the Russo's did the other two paintballs among half of the first two seasons.
the only genre that i was sad wasnt made an homage by community was 70s-90s bad horror movies. the oppurtunity would've been perfect if for a Halloween episode, pierce got intoxicated or started seeing hallucinations because of his pills and tried to kill everyone, it would've been a perfect opportunity to give homage to classics like the halloween series, or the friday the 13th series, etc.
Hey man, saw this in my email. I just want to say thanks for the support. My life moved on, I'd love to make new videos but I've started other projects in my life. Maybe one day when a topic really drives me. Thanks so much for this comment.
yes you're right, if you check the description I have a new mic and was constantly messing with it leading to different audio levels which I couldn't level out because the level differences were just too great.
I hope they never make a movie so we can always look forward to the movie. If they make a movie that'll be it and the journey will be over for good....
Never said the idea was inherently unique, I am simply pointing out that genre filmmaking enhances the show and adds to it's charm. And i'm also pointing out how it does it in a successful manner that many shows have failed to do, B99, The Office etc. Obviously other shows have done it before and done it well but that's not what this is about. Thank you for checking the video out though, I appreciate it.
Community has a really special feel to it. It uses the genres to tell stories that fit in the genres and explore relationships between the characters. A fistful of paintballs explores the relationship between Annie and Pierce, Modern warfare is about Jeff and Britta. The genre parodies make you laugh and cry within minutes of each other. I love South Park, but the genre parodies there just feel like farces
I don't think a show should be criticized for making offensive jokes, nor should it be seen as a flaw. Offensive jokes work as long as everyone race is being joked upon. Abed Nadir says it best: m.ua-cam.com/video/MBP61oXYGgY/v-deo.html
Nice, you cover some important talking points in the video production space! We are interested what you do, don't stop. Anytime you are in Phoenix let us know. If you'd like, direct message us @dmakproductions on Instagram and we can connect. You kill it!
Ur voice is sexy
Bout as nice as a serial killer whispering into my ear before filleting me.

Thx
I almost finished four times and I'm a straight man
"You'll have to excuse my partner. He's been on edge since we've switched." Is the FUNNIEST line of the entire series.
An impossible task IMO, but a worthy challenger for the spot ❤
Idk, "yes I can! It's all terrain, dummy" is my personal favorite
Stopped being a family, and became a family... in italics. Always makes me laugh
They don't make parodies they make homages
That's what I love the most about community, it's not trying to be something it's not.
Absolutely.

Community is home to everyone. “You’re already accepted.”
The show never fails to warm my heart
"Need I remind you this is not a courtroom" is probably one of my favourite jokes from the entire show, something about it hits super well
Every time I get to that point in the episode I forget it’s not a real cop show.
"objection, i hate the both of you"
He’s right. You’re not cops.
@@cognitivedissonance8406 one of the best line deliveries in the entire show

It's a shame. I forked over 2 bucks to own it on UA-cam, though.
@@bendawson9869 there’s someone who got clips of it and put it into a seamless playlist on yt for free

Such an underrated show

Six seasons and a movie!
If you were a food, you'd be a chicken finger. Good video
Well, the russo's brothers being hired in the mcu for their work in community is more a fact than a thought.
the asscrack bandit episode is absolute gold and I cannot forgive you for not including it in this video
This video is streets ahead
Really great take on Community, and great points about the genre filmmaking in the Office/Brooklyn 99!
Great explanation of why Community is the best show ever. This is what I try to say when I explain to people what's so great about it, but this video does it way more articulately. I'll definitely be showing this to people I'm introducing to the show!
I keep finding more and more ways to fall in love with Community :)
facts, it just gets better and better over time
“I’m sorry about my partner. He’s been on edge ever since we switched” is by are one of my favourite lines from this show
Community is the only show that ever had a shoe Halloween special and it's still cannon
I’m rewatching community, still holds up
I dont think there will ever be a more amazing block of comedies than Community, The Office, 30 Rock and Parks and Rec back to back.
I was surprised to see no follow up video yet because of how well executed this one is, I’ve never seen someone put all these insights together in an analysis video so well. Thank you so much for this
community is so meta that it makes meta meta and i will stand by that for the rest of my life
Six seasons and a movie 😌
yooo why has nobody seen this? it's very good??? (referring to the video not the show, although it applies to the show too)
thanks so much! I'm pretty happy about how big this video got considering how small my channel is.
Im genuinely confused why this video doesn't have more appreciation this was so obviously thought out and took a long time to make, either way its awesome
haha thank you so much!
10:14 I can’t help but notice that Todd’s lawyer doesn’t raise his hand to object to Todd being a virgin…
great vid! underated channel fo sho
thank you so much!
This deserves more views.
So glad this randomly popped up in recommended. amazing 10/10
thank you so much! If you liked it consider dropping a sub because I have another video like this on it's way.
holy cow that 2009 flashback made me nostalgic. I never liked that song but all the scene kids would listen to it at my school.
Great video!

nice to see more community video essay, please do more.
How has this video not blown up? For the amount of discourse/mentions I see about community there’s not a lot of online fanfare
Im in season 3 of community and I swear this show is something else. Love Troy, Abed, Pierce and Dean
Great video this is possibly my favorite show ever
Well. You created something fantastic with this video! Love it and nailed it!
“it has everything, star wars, western, parallel universe” i just realize this show is a burger slice of life, no wonder i love it so much
This was an amazing video. This show is always on my TV.
Basic Lupine Urology is top 5 for me
Wait how do you only have 400 subs ur content is pog.
Great video, I loved your analysis of one of the best qualities of this show. Keep going
Love the show and loved your video. I don't know if anyone else said that but the Modern Warfare episode was directed by Justin Lin and the Russo's did the other two paintballs among half of the first two seasons.
great analysis!

That 8-bit Daybreak is my ringtone, so I got very confused when it starts playing as a part of your video...
2:43 wow I never realized how great/hilarious/dumb this quote is
The Traveling Wilburys of Pain
Surprised you don’t have more subscribers, great video and great channel
This is great! This video deserves more views.
Just a tip it’s worth putting an epileptic warning cos of some of the clips have flashing lights.

This video was great! I'm hoping it'll encourage my boyfriend enough to watch it :)
hope he likes the video and community!
Great video man
didn’t think id drink today but missing community like a mf 😞
This guy heard a teacher tell him to annunciate one time and engraved the idea in his soul
Great video, a worthy analysis for a great show!

Revenge of the fallen.
Enjoyable vid, but the audio levels seem a bit off. Is it just me?

try? Coined and minted! Been there coined that!
Why is Olivia Munn in the NBC line up? What show was she on?
She was in a really bad show that didn't last in 2010 called perfect couples on NBC I think.
Digital estate planning felt too self-indulgent for me, season 3 was very hit or miss
So? The Simpsons, South Park or Spaced doing this before Community.
