Community, the tv show

Troy's second huzzah is especially amazing because he kinda looks sad when he says it

Still haven't found an Annie's fingers gif, so I'm downloading last night's show and making one. Coming up soon!

ha, you watched the same rip I did. what software did you use to capture?

Virtual Dub creates jpegs from the video frames: http://www.virtualdub.org/download.html -- and then I made an animated gif in Photoshop.

cool, i'll give it a shot - thanks.

best D&D epi since freaks & geeks

first of all -- GAY

having the cleaner as voiceoverlady was the best punchline

yea i'm glad I didn't watch this at my house or our condo mates woulda been screaming "shut the fuck up" through the walls

this was good, but i don't understand why you guys go so gaga over the hi-concept episodes such as this one, the paintball one... i think that the previous couple, the anti-drug play and the rich one, were much funnier

to me the writing on d&d, paintball gets too labored, like they are tripping over themselves trying to be too clever

This was basically a bottle episode, to offset the elaborate costumes and sets of the drug play episode...

Abed should've had a DM's screen.

Personally it hit hard because of Depression and what it's really like but ya know, was also p funny

should add i was heartened to hear the cry of "excelsior"

also, off-topic, but yesterday i watched the simpsons for the first time in like eight years or something, and it happened to be the "sleep, that's where i'm a viking" one!

u crazy

i watched all three with a friend and she thought the same thing!

was the inverse of the xmas one..instead of the show expensively recreating the aesthetics of the world in which characters were imagining themselves, you saw them in the study room simply discussing this imaginary world.

I love this show. The editing, the sound design, all of it. Really awesome.

Like when Chang turns in his character sheet, its all slo-mo and he fades into the hallway. So rad.

I don't really care about the high conceptness .. I just thought this episode brought the laughs. But also I am a huge nerd so all the AD&D stuff was welcome.

Last week's episode was pretty weak I thought.

It wasn't really very "hi concept" except for the occasional narration and chang's slo-mo scene. Otherwise it was just like any other episode with an additional character.

I think it was very tightly directed wrt things like sound effects (which often reflected what was going on in the game) and scoring such that it felt much more high concept than it actually was. there was definitely a level of artistry in so many details this last ep

:D

Googling for an interview with the showrunner made me realize that this isn't the first time Dan Harmon's contributed something to mass D&D culture. when he was back in the Dead Alewives(the mid-90s sketch comedy troupe with Rob Schrab), he wrote this:

Dan Harmon wrote that sketch?? I've been hearing it for years and never realized.

does one of the voices, too, apparently:

Finally caught this and

one of the best community episodes ever

OTM. Holy shit, the love scene.

omg please tell me this librarian thing goes somewhere

Yeah, she is beautiful.

It seemed like a one-off to play up Abed and Troy's bond, but who knows.

The girl with Leather Tuscadero hair and the beauty mark on her cheek who hung out with Annie was CUET.

Yeah she was! The non-lesbian girl had a weird Marlee Matlin look, odd looking girl.
Loved Jeff carrying Chang back inside;
Chang yelling at the hermit crabs
Italian fanny= British for pizza
Annie making kiss face at Britta

Alison Brie addressed it on twitter earlier (apparently they're irl friends): she was Cyrina Fiallo.

Super cute

Chang walking in the apt and immediately smashing the lamp with nunchucks had me pausing the TV to wipe the tears from my face.

i sure wish maite schwartz would make sure nobody drew wieners in me

the pierce plot is shaping up nicely—A+ abuse of the group at the beginning. ('i'm using it to have this stupid conversation with you.')

the whole lesbian plot is like out of ancient comedy or something

Starburns had valentines Heartburns

Lesbian + Librian = hottest episode

I don't get the end credits joke.

You don't get the candy hearts, or you don't get that "I've been cheating" could be taken two different ways in that context?

guys is it true that l0u1s jagg3r likes rocket on his italian fannies </thread derail with ilx in-joke>

Oh I guess I just didn't hear it correctly

BOOKS

Ridiculously I was taken 'out' of the episode by the fact that Jeff etc were watching the Liverpool/Man U game at 6:30 pm Denver time which would mean it was kicking off at sometime around midnight English time! It really bothered me.

I wouldn't be surprised if soccer gets tape delayed in the US.

No tape delays on the East coast for European football matches afaik (at least on DirecTv). Not sure how it works in the Mountain time zone, though.

no tape delays in the midwest either

i was just taken out of it by jeff knowing the match was on.

also wished they let oliver riff on liverpool, he can be hilarious on the bugle sports section.

i was hoping the same thing! some drunken soccer ranting would have been rad
