Community, the tv show

is it me or was britta at a funeral TOTALLY FUCKING BEAUTIFUL OMG IM IN LOVE rite?

lol the priest "you're the worst"

britta is ethereally gorgeous this season, but yeah the funeral scene in particular was amazing.

If Harmon isn't working up to an episode at an Inspector Spacetime convention then he's the most wasteful cunt in the world.

I think that Inspector Spacetime has been brought back because of the frankly cray cray fandom that has already sprung up around it. Just go on tumblr if you don't believe me.

^^^

This. I can understand, given the ratings and Harmon's overal approach, why he tosses bones to the rabid fans like this, but the Inspector Spacetime thing seems way too forced and overdone. I was actually fine with it until last night's (otherwise incredible) episode when Troy and Abed just randomly called each other Constable and Inspector.

How quick is the turnaround on these things? Have they seriously had time to rewrite and refilm bits based on fan reaction already?

Judging by the interviews upthread, Elementary Chaos Theory and the Halloween one had already been filmed when the series started. Calling bullshit on this theory.

So do you have filming dates for last nights? Like I said, last night was the first time it actually felt kind of forced. All I'm saying is that it needs to lead to a big payoff.

Why?

Because its getting run into the ground and I'd be a lot more okay with it if there's a payoff.

I don't really see it as being run into the ground any more than any other facet of Troy and Abed's relationship; look at it like it's their handshake.

It isn't really getting run into the ground. I haven't seen the most recent episode but they've barely mentioned it up to now, only hinted at it.

Of all of the batshit criticisms thrown around itt, its kind of funny that you guys are butthurt about me thinking the Inspector Spacetime thing is a little overdone.

you go from 0 to 11 faster than any other poster on this site

I've known goofy dudes like Troy and Abed my whole life who would run shit into the ground with no hope of a payoff in sight.

Because I said I find it funny? You're an asshole.

I expressed a realtively minor criticism of the show and you two were immediately, YOU ARE WRONG. Like, idgi.

I just don't understand how the fuck saying:

Of all of the batshit criticisms thrown around itt, its kind of funny that you guys are butthurt about me thinking the Inspector Spacetime thing is a little overdone.

means I'm at 11.

But I know DJP loves to provoke me, so grain of salt and all.

what the hell just happened here

what the hell just happened here

You tell me. I get that you, for whatever reason, think I'm a worthless poster, but I'm not sure why you felt the need to call me out for being "at 11" for expressing an opinion.

I'm just wondering if its my word choice or your reading comprehension that is causing you to read a tone that isn't intended.

I'm wondering the same thing! I had a mild chuckle at you describing a lukewarm disagreement as being "butthurt" and then you ACTUALLY go from 0 to 11 in the most ironic way possible... It's kind of amazing.

And I'm mostly sitting here bemused and slightly concerned.

loooooool Matt DC

Apparently I need flashign Drudge sirens for you if I ever use even a hint of sarcasm in my posts. Its so funny that for a board so dependent on snark, irony, and sarcasm, that you have such a hard time comprehending it. Of course I didn't think anyone was seriously butthurt over this. I just was laughing that there were such quick defenders of the gag. It was like I said Inspector Spacetime was ruining the show or something.

I mean, if you honestly think I was sitting here like seething in rage or w/e, maybe you are the one that needs to take a break from the internet because you're seeing things that aren't there. I find it pretty hilarious that every time I drop a sarcastic post, I get a contingent of you, Whiney, Shipz, or sarge telling me I'm angry.

YOU GUYS CANT YOU SEE INSPECTOR SPACETIME IS TEARING US APART?!

I BLAME BLACK HITLER

I was going to say this is not in the spirit of Community

but it kinda is.. Jeff and Pierce! Carry on.

(Will there *always* be Paninis?)

Seriously though - throwing in a bunch of fake-sounding details is a perfect way to make people think you're crazy!

lol my post wasn't serious either

there wasn't a serious post about this until you went crazy and started swearing at me

I called you an asshole because I felt you were needlessly calling me out for being angry or whatever it was you meant by being "at 11". You shifted it from talking about the show to making personal attacks. Not that that excuses me calling you an asshole, but its pretty lol for you to needle me and then claim I "went crazy".

the astronaut paninis and Blitler reminded me of a thing from X-Files. something about Mulder getting threatened by a bunch or people and one was wearing a convincing Nixon mask (or something like that) so that if he told anybody about what happened he'd sound totally nutso.

anyone can go from 0-11. it takes a special poster to take it from 11 back to 0.

That whole sequence made waiting for the return of the air conditioner repair annex worth it.

But now that Troy has rebuffed their advances, does this mean no more John Goodman? I hope not.

I think the cut to Goodman saying it isn't over is a good sign he'll be back. Really missing John Oliver this season.

I loved that they showed the room that "room temperature" is based on.

"I can't feel where the air ends and my skin begins!"

I gotta stop watching the teasers/promos; I'd already heard the "this is The Room" joke about 10 times. But I liked where they went with it.

god i love britta

"in my psychology class, we've been reading about this 'edible complex,' where the son wants to kill his father and do something to his mother - i haven't finished the chapter yet."

Yeah, the whole Britta thing was A++++ this ep.

"I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty!"
"You can excuse racism????"

this might actually be my 2nd fave episode so far this season, after the multiple timelines ep. pierce's dad was so weird and creepy and kind of looked like the dean

I could not stop lolling at the ivory hair. I read about it on the A/V Club but erroneously thought they just meant the color and that that was what was making it photograph so strangely.

The ivory hair was genius, as was his spiel about the Swedes.

Man is there still no John Oliver? Series has been great so far but his character is one of my favourites outside the study group.

Seriously though - throwing in a bunch of fake-sounding details is a perfect way to make people think you're crazy!

I got even geekier and flashed back to that issue of ALL-STAR SUPERMAN where Luther ended his interview with Clark with a baboon wearing a Superman outfit and claimed to have singlehandedly destroyed the credibility of the Daily Planet.

I saw one episode of this - the Call of Duty one - and holy fuck it was turgid rubbish. Is this a show that only americans get?
