d'oh i mean Britta
― da croupier, Friday, 14 October 2011 18:02 (twelve years ago) link
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.

can't really think of any big alison brie physical comedy moments is the problem.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 14 October 2011 18:10 (twelve years ago) link
the conspiracy episode, for one. I also think Brie is an objectively better actress but ymmv again

any stiffness in Britta's "physical comedy" has been pretty in character (last thing that pizza dance should have been was natural), though I'm certainly all for Alison Brie having more physical moments
― da croupier, Friday, 14 October 2011 18:11 (twelve years ago) link
I'm all for having physical moments w/ alison brie

all episodes that have alison brie doing physical comedy. conspiracy has her in the hallway 'giving up', for example.
― Ravaging Rick Rude (a hoy hoy), Friday, 14 October 2011 18:18 (twelve years ago) link
Her tantrum in the UN episode two weeks ago. Awkward, perhaps not comedic, but I liked it.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 14 October 2011 18:24 (twelve years ago) link
Also, her faint/fall at the end of the Todd episode.
― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Friday, 14 October 2011 18:32 (twelve years ago) link
i remember reading that alison brie worked as a clown before she made it big, whereas i think gillian jacobs studied acting at juilliard? anyway i'm really loving this new, looser britta. like her line last week about worms having tiny faces, she's taking the horrible awkwardness we saw in "turning it into a snake" and letting it run free.
― lite-brite phrenology (reddening), Friday, 14 October 2011 18:46 (twelve years ago) link
also we got some good troy screaming when he was fighting for the present with pierce! it wasn't quite "troy crying" but it was still quality.

That was perfection, probably in my top 5 episodes ever. The penultimate scene with Jeff's arm was amazing.
― Matt DC, Friday, 14 October 2011 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
Loved this episode.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 14 October 2011 19:24 (twelve years ago) link
Pretty much think that Alison Brie's acting/comedic timing is the worst part of the show, I'm really surprised that anyone rates her. She's just so awkward and always "on" in the worst way.

evil troy and evil aaaabed
― mookieproof, Friday, 14 October 2011 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
Also did anyone notice that Troy and Abed were watching Inspector Spacetime right at the end?
Considering he's been promoted to the main cast we haven't seen much of the Dean so far.
― Matt DC, Friday, 14 October 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
I think that was more about holding onto him because he's been in too much to be considered 'recurring'. Interesting that this episode has been the best of the season so far and featured no Dean or Chang.
― Rory's new misogynist car (Gukbe), Friday, 14 October 2011 19:52 (twelve years ago) link
I wouldn't lump the Dean in with Chang when it comes to funny/unfunny arguments -- Chang can be a weak link sometimes but the Dean is classic.

I mean you probably weren't doing that, I just am protective of Jim Rash.

Hah, I've just read the rest of this discussion and, well, if you haven't worked out that Britta is a massive dork by now then what show have you been watching? She can do mean-spirited snark (ie everything she said to Jeff for most of the first season) but gentle comedy has always been beyond her. The pizza stuff was funny because it was so lame. And she was kinda high.
Also where is Professor Ian Duncan? Presumably doing Daily Show stuff and Britta studying psychology suggests he'll turn up at some point but I am missing my dose of hilarious fake Britishisms.
― Matt DC, Friday, 14 October 2011 20:32 (twelve years ago) link
john oliver's character is good when he's but he never felt like so much a part of the show that i care whether he comes or goes.

First good episode of the season.

agreed, haven't been feeling this season at all but this episode was clasic
― Fifty-Three Percenter Godbody Knowledge (The Brainwasher), Saturday, 15 October 2011 05:19 (twelve years ago) link
1. classic episode
2.
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 don't get this at all. allison brie is gorgeous. the only reason i ever even remember the age discrepancy between jeff + annie is bc the show itself keeps reminding me of it. if it didn't i'd probably forget that these two attractive actors weren't close enough in age to be in a relationship. so to call it 'too gross' bc of the very context the show maintains seems a little selective and strange.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 19 October 2011 19:03 (twelve years ago) link
I liked how removing Jeff from the group = everyone ends up happy.
I feel a bit sorry for Troy and Abed because Annie would be the most annoying anal flatmate imaginable.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 19 October 2011 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
The look Troy was shooting Abed when he invited Annie to stay with them suggests he feels the same way.
