Community, the tv show

the whole thing was very inspired.

concept of a spoof of a clip show = best idea ever.

"A leprechaun took our clothes"!

the cleverer this show gets the less I laugh

imo this episode was one of the easiest to laugh at because the laughs were frequent and simple

seriously. that speech near the end blew me away.

The Dean Pelton costume montage was fucking brilliant. As was every other aspect of this unfuckwithable episode.

counterpoint: that episode sucked.

OK, that was harsh, but man that was grating. chang used to be funny, and the plot of this episode seemed to draw attention to all the ways the show doesn't make me laugh. britta and jeff's simultaneous break up lines cracked me up though.

ah! The montage speech was excelllent! And I loved Dean Pelton's costumes. And Abed as the Cape! Hee hee.

Did anyone else notice that at the very end when Chang walks in that the wide shot of the diorama diorama has a tiny Chang standing outside the room looking in? <3

great episode

the slow-mo stuff had me in tears

we have all but the first two eps of the first season patiently waiting for us on our dvr. everytime the cable fucks up and a guy has to come out our biggest fear is that he'll take the dvr away.

something i learned today: joel mchale was born in rome and baptized in the vatican. crazy.

I thought he was born in Seattle

the cleverer this show gets the less I laugh

u mad

last night was k-classic, I'm getting nervous for the two-part paintball season finale though.

it's two parts!?

i liked 30 rock last night but this episode took the thursday night cake. and even parks & rec was awesome too and this episode still took the cake. 30 rock ended up looking a little lazy with their actual flashback montages. the whole ghost town thing...

From wiki:

48 23 "A Fist Full of Paintballs"[52] May 5, 2011 (2011-05-05)[52] 223
49 24 "For a Few Paintballs More"[53] May 12, 2011 (2011-05-12)[52] 224

basically all of the NBC shows were amazing last night

Will those be the first eps not named after college courses?

i will even be capn-save-a-Reiser and say the Henry Rollins cameo cracked me up

ha I just said this on the Parks & Rec thread

What is The Cape?

When Abed sneaks up on Jeff in the cafeteria and knocks over his food, I laughed so hard my dad knocked on my door to see what was happening.

The Cape was a failed NBC superhero show from earlier this season. Never saw it, but by all accounts it was awful.

IT WAS

lol at Abed yelling "six seasons and a movie!" about The Cape.

I laughed hard about that, and pretty much all the Cape stuff, too

Will those be the first eps not named after college courses?

Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas, I believe, was the first. That may not be the actual title.

Modern Warfare?

p sure modern warfare could be a course

yah "Modern Warfare" is definitely a course title. and the pilot was just called "Pilot" obv. the only one i'm kind of on the fence about is "Pascal's Triangle Revisited."

I guess I'll take your word for it. It's a hard thing to Google, with all of the Call of Duty and Community references.

I'm sure Modern Warfare is a 101 course at most of the service colleges, and would probably extend into civilian colleges for ROTC programs and whatever.

The Cape was incredibly awful, and every single one of those Cape jokes had me rolling

Veggie gurl one of his parents taught at the american university in rome so he + his brothers were born there but grew up in seattle. no president mchale!

If both of his parents (as opposed to just one) are US citizens, he's in the clear.

Naturalization rules are effed up and probably constructed during a Christmas party after everyone had already gotten wasted on punch.

i missed the beginning of the whole Cape bit so spent the whole time trying to figure out if it was a callback to his Batman costume in the Halloween episode or something else. need to rewatch that, because i wasted a few hours of my life on episodes of The Cape and could use some cathartic laughs to heal the pain.

thought this episode was really good

i missed the beginning of the whole Cape bit

Troy and Abed were in Abed's dorm room getting ready to watch the premiere episode of The Cape when Britta came in and changed it to the news. 2 or 3 more things happened after that, which I'm assuming it was you saw.

Holy shit.

Want to put in a word for the Dean's cartoon as well.

well i mean i was watching but distracted during the first few minutes of the show -- so i just missed the line explaining that the reason Abed was wearing a cape was because of the show The Cape

"The Traveling Wilburys...of PAIN."

OTM

"is that a new stereotype?"

trust me i know these vents like the back of my chang

HUMANITY is premiering, you jags!

the monkey slaps were pretty funny too

xp
that and the whole habitat for humanity bit (the dean had a perfect lead in) were the funniest things

I like how Abed was able to tell by the littlest clue that Jeff and Britta hooked up on the paintball episode but it took him forever to realize they were still hooking up despite the biggest clues ever

they made out on top of him once, he just hasn't cared to think about it
