Community, the tv show

You don't need to spot the exact reference to get that this was riffing off a particular kind of historical documentary, really.

This reminded me more of the Heart of Darkness episode than any of the other warfare eps actually.

Bears pointing out that the Dean is absolutely fucking hilarious when he's completely lost control of the school and doesn't know what to do.

"Jeffrey, find me!"

I think we all got that.

it was very specifically that ken burns doc that it was sending up, tho of course that's not like sui generis or whatevs.

i enjoyed this, i liked the parody, i didnt find it a partic funny episode tho.

i am unfamiliar with the ken burns thing and with larger traditions of american documentary-making, and as such i got not a whole lot out of this. ho hum

the larger traditions really helped me understand those jokes

"Jeffrey, find me!"

I remember when I had to go watch a decade's worth of British news programming so I could fully appreciate Monty Python.

if you're american you don't actually appreciate monty python, just saying

just saying nonsense

thomp, if one were to make an assessment based solely on your most recent posts itt, one might conclude that they suggest a general tendency towards opinions unworthy of consideration by others. Just sayin'.

you're a moron

Aaaand I rest my case.

you live with your mother

and you smell

It's really a shame that this particular thread has to keep devolving into such a toilet.

what's going on here

never change, this thread

Yes, never change. If we promise to keep the dark spirits bottled up in this thread, I promise to avoid it like the plague.

so basically, all non-USAers should stop watching Community because of the high-level 1992 PBS satire that only we (over the age of 30) can possibly understand.

non-usaers don't help its ratings so no one cares if they get it or not

just saying

i'm sure all the inspector spacetime stuff is aimed solely at US dr. who fans

hrm - that kind of intensely fannish relationship to it is actually more of a US thing, i think. here it's saturday afternoon family tv? i mean, there are devotees, but they're not the norm.

remember the good old days when this thread was just quotes and discussion re:Alison Brie's tittays?

'tittays'

dr. who worship is certainly the norm in the u.s. It's kind of like American Idol.

you can't read

itt unintelligent people believe community is an intelligent tv show

thomp sees through our intellectual pretensions.

I think I can read, prick. Dr. Who fanatics are pretty fucking sparse in America. probably the same where you hail from.

i come from uranus

dramatic music

more who fanatics there than here, i'd think

mainly butt

^ who is this putz?

im a sock

LOL

"im a sock"

dying over here

in semi-relevant news "remedial chaos theory" was just nominated for a hugo, alongside three doctor who episodes.

omg who is 'thomp' this is hilarious

you're right, i ignored the thread warning

MORBS

has morbs seen this guy yet? fucking hilarious

"i'm a sock"

sorry "im a sock"

good lord that's good
