that episode was seriously special. on one hand I'm kinda like "this show is a bit too meta/referential at times" but then they pull something off...when Jeff walked into the room with Troy and Troy's like "Jeff Winger you no good..." or whatever, then changed his tone. So otm.

even just that Chang bit which references Chow Yun Fat and Face Off and Scarface all at once, they then throw in the Predator bit at end.... so much good action movie stuff in this episode

Fuckeeng community was off the hooK street style!

CaptainLorax, Friday, 7 May 2010 04:07 (thirteen years ago) link

also add The Warriors to the meta

Terminator too. "Come with me if you don't want to get paint on your clothes."

I've known Matthew Perpetua for 12 years, but this might finally be the thing that ends a friendship:

@perpetua Wow, it would be great if Community never did another awful, awful, awful, awful episode like that ever again.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 7 May 2010 05:29 (thirteen years ago) link

tonight's episode was another level of awesome, I was dying when Chang joined the action

sometimes I think people like Perpetua just come up with contrarian opinions so they stand out more...

Sherman Helmsley Teabag (Cattle Grind), Friday, 7 May 2010 06:44 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, I mean if this isn't the kind of thing you're looking for this show to give you, then what the hell are you even watching it for?

Johnny Fever, Friday, 7 May 2010 06:47 (thirteen years ago) link

Another reason to think he is a chucklehead.

ô_o (Nicole), Friday, 7 May 2010 10:52 (thirteen years ago) link

always hated him. so yeah.

i can see someone liking the first half of the season more and being put-off by some of the broader, more high concept stuff they've been doing in the last few episodes, even if i personally love how ambitious and crazy the show's getting.

iiiinfinite jjjjest (some dude), Friday, 7 May 2010 12:58 (thirteen years ago) link

this was above & beyond the greatest. i <3 this show.

i feel like the end of the billiards class episode was really where they threw down the gauntlet and showed how far they were willing to go, and the last 2 episodes are them going full bore in that direction. it's kind of exciting, since most sitcoms end up doing something zany and conceptual eventually, but by the time they do it's like season 5 and it's easy to accuse them of jumping the shark or running out of ideas. for Community to do this stuff this early on i think sets more of an 'anything goes' tone for the future.

iiiinfinite jjjjest (some dude), Friday, 7 May 2010 13:10 (thirteen years ago) link

that all sounds quite correct

Nhex, Friday, 7 May 2010 13:51 (thirteen years ago) link

also shocked that nobody posted this yet

Wonder if that Brie story "inspired" Annie's loss of virginity tale from the episode about the safe sex fair.

Just saw that the same writer, Emily Cutler, is responsible for both Modern Warfare AND the chicken fingers episodes. Let's get this woman an Emmy at her earliest convenience, thanks.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 7 May 2010 19:08 (thirteen years ago) link

Bet yall noticed it but funny which member of their group got shot first

CaptainLorax, Friday, 7 May 2010 19:28 (thirteen years ago) link

Yes, I DID notice. No way that was just random.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 7 May 2010 19:29 (thirteen years ago) link

ha, never thought it through like that!

tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Friday, 7 May 2010 19:30 (thirteen years ago) link

of all the references though...the degree by which they nailed the 28 Days Later atmosphere was pretty amazing.

dan selzer, Friday, 7 May 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link

I think the most amazing thing for me was how casually the paintball contest was mentioned (and disregarded) and then when it became a full blown thing.. from the first Abed appearance to the rendezvous point with Troy. Then I was continually amazed that the action film spiel was continually pulled off flawlessly - things like the scene where they are sitting around the fire in the cafeteria really got to me. I'm gonna stop praising this episode before I curse it :)

CaptainLorax, Friday, 7 May 2010 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link

so is this show always delightful or only when there is cartoon violence?

Astronaut Mike Dexter (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Friday, 7 May 2010 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, this show is pretty unfuckable with atm

so amazing

Genius!! Filled with referencey-goodness. Mr Veg and I were crying laughing the whole way through...and omg I want that paintball machinegun so bad! Senor Chang FTW.

VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 7 May 2010 22:08 (thirteen years ago) link

Can I saw that Britta is one of the most attractive women on television right now?

Sherman Helmsley Teabag (Cattle Grind), Friday, 7 May 2010 22:51 (thirteen years ago) link

I think Agent Olivia Dunham from 'Fringe' has her beat, but Britta's pretty awesome.

VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 7 May 2010 23:41 (thirteen years ago) link

Annie > Britta, sorry dudes.

Johnny Fever, Friday, 7 May 2010 23:46 (thirteen years ago) link

Gee, Officer (Gukbe), Friday, 7 May 2010 23:46 (thirteen years ago) link

amazing ep

Greatest contributor: (history mayne), Friday, 7 May 2010 23:47 (thirteen years ago) link

Annie's right up there too. I could go either way with them on any day of the week, honestly.

Sherman Helmsley Teabag (Cattle Grind), Friday, 7 May 2010 23:49 (thirteen years ago) link

Perhaps I could have phrased that better.

Sherman Helmsley Teabag (Cattle Grind), Friday, 7 May 2010 23:49 (thirteen years ago) link

The spy-chick on Chuck is up there in the top 3 probably. I like the redhead on The Mentalist also. Olivia otm.

CaptainLorax, Saturday, 8 May 2010 00:05 (thirteen years ago) link

love that this is their second dig at Glee

Gee, Officer (Gukbe), Saturday, 8 May 2010 00:15 (thirteen years ago) link

might have to watch this again

I like the redhead on The Mentalist also.

Over Robin Tunney? No way.
