Community, the tv show

Wow! That was perfect!

Troy's voice!!

And Troy and his candy cigarettes.

So psyched to see this. I have been waiting for Troy and Abed to throw a party for about two seasons now.

I hope they invited Pavel and Magnitude.

yeah this wasn't a 'group dynamic' episode imo. something that advances individual relationships between troy and pierce, jeff and annie, britta and shirley etc etc with all these great little moments is much better than "is pierce in or out?" part 12.

some dude otm, my comment wasn't aimed at anyone around here, mostly other boards where I've seen excessive bitching about the "group dynamic" stuff

Gah, fucking Torg was in my dream last night. I hate you Dan Harmon for putting that nasty little troll on my tv!

the past 2 episodes werent so bad but this was, kind of awful?

the thing theyre doing with jeff and annie I DONT LIKE IT I WANT IT TO STOP

none of the characters are cool anymore theyre all just these dumb caricatures of themselves who only ever do embarassing things and its not even hot or fun when they fall in love just gross

wait, the characters used to cool?

You should stop watching this terrible show then, imho. I mean if you thought this episode was awful, I'm wondering exactly what you've seen in the show in the past.

to be cool, I mean?

i like the idea that this used to be a show about cool people getting into hot love scenes

chaflopson

maybe the comments were meant for a gossip girl thread?

some good moments tho

jeff: this club looks like it was designed for me
abed : it was, i designed it for you so that you would keep tonight free

also pierce getting shot in the leg was a huge lol

those were both nice breaks from the caricatures doing embarrassing things, weren't they?

ya idk i only caught up on community over the summer so none of my love for the first two seasons is documented on this thread, then again i don't see the need to explain my challenging opinion about why i think its dropping off to people who were keeling over at PIZZA PIZZA ME SO HUNGY

re: "cool:" jeff and britta used to be, like, impenetrably witty, from both within the group & with each other. i realize the softening is part of their char development but they dont even have good zings or comebacks anymore & say awkward dumb crap all the time. this has been noted previous but abed has always been cool in a nerdy way, the episode where its revealed tons of girls are into him kind of makes sense; he's detached and smart and observant. now i'm not so sure what they think he is

ceiling fan gag = gold

also: the jeff britta romance was fun and tense and hilarious! this annie thing is gross and i know thats the joke but its TOO GROSS

i will admit now isn't a good time for a jeff/britta shipper

fwiw I thought the Britta "HUNGY" thing wasn't funny, so flopson otm there I guess

Fortunately for that line, it didn't exist in a context- or setup-free vacuum.

Twasn't a joke, just a nice bit of ridiculousness one does a) when in the loosened atmosphere of a party and b) as a stupid bit of nonsense you do when you're stoned. It's OTM in that regard.

the shocking revelation that a disbarred, fradulent lawyer and a 30 year old who has done peace corps and foot modeling after dropping out of high school to "impress Radiohead" at a community college are prone to foolish behavior

xp That was my point. The criticisms against it seemed to miss the setup.

Chop busted, fellow adult. Chop busted.

Fortunately for that line, it didn't exist in a context- or setup-free vacuum.

Sorry guys, next time I will refer to the entire contect and setup for every joke rather than try to refer to it in shorthand. I mean, I get the setup and context, I just don't think she pulled it off in a way that made me laugh. Now, Annie doing that in a similar set-up after her first time getting stoned or something probably would have cracked me up.

I also really appreciate the insinuation that because I didn't think a joke was funny that I didn't get the "context" or "setup". ffs u guys.

haha donald glover's delivery on "chop busted" kills me

tbf you piggybacked off an incoherent challop, jon

tbrr, I wasn't piggybacking on any single part of it except the Britta joke I didn't like

well let that be a lesson to you

jvc, sorry, to clarify, it was directed more at flopson's "its dropping off to people who were keeling over at PIZZA PIZZA ME SO HUNGY", as if the show was becoming some one-dimensional "but Football In The Groin had a football in the groin."

I gotcha. But, tbh, my comment was for a general reaction to that argument I get from people wrt to comedy about not liking a particular joke, "oh well, you just didn't get the setup". Uh, no, I did, I just didn't laugh.

I hear ya. However, on re-watching, I noticed that the first line of the couplet is "PIZZA PIZZA GO IN TUMMY" (not "in my tummy"), which is some next-level shit.

"encarta it"

^^^^ now that one was a great line

brittas pizza dance was the best wtf bros cmon

I think Dan Harmon's master plan is to divide the show's fan base just for laughs.

i think to some extent this episode exaggerated some of the characters traits in order to emphasize their absence during the roll of the die in which they were gone & also to examine the role they played w/in the group or w/e so it came off as p cartoonish/stupid in places but i liked it i guess im just a sucker for the general premise and i liked seeing the 'what ifs' idk jeff making all these ppl worse was kindof a brilliant way to end this episode??

considering we had annie in a cage protesting a mock UN meeting two episodes ago i didn't think her doing a pizza dance after smoking pot at a party was really that cartoonish

d'oh i mean Britta

Britta has always done stupid intentionally-written-to-be-unfunny shit like the pizza dance. It was sooooo in character. And LOL at how stupid that shit was. So, I don't get some of you guys, I guess?

re: "cool:" jeff and britta used to be, like, impenetrably witty

they've always been douchebags, the fact that you thought of them as "cool" maybe says more about you than it does about the show.

I loves me some Britta/Gillian Jacobs but I don't think she's anywhere NEAR as good a physical comedienne as Alison Brie. She's just game, I guess, which counts for a lot but I'm not always sold when she goes broad.

sorry but that is wrong

sorry, i hate it when people post like that
