Man, between "An American Tail" and "Overboard" a couple weeks ago, this show is hitting all my nostalgia buttons.

Hey guys, my friend wrote last night's episode. I'm so proud :-)
― Jouster, Saturday, 21 November 2009 05:20 (fourteen years ago) link
really who has seen an american tail besides those born between 1976-1982?
haha this is probably true. oh those don bluth movies
― Nhex, Saturday, 21 November 2009 06:49 (fourteen years ago) link
naw recall my cousin born in 86 being deeply into american tale - its a minor classic
― ice cr?m, Saturday, 21 November 2009 06:55 (fourteen years ago) link
i was born in 85 and i was really into fievel goes west--an american tale not as much

Dudes, when you drop the 'An', American Tail sounds like a whoooooooole other kinda movie.

jouster, your friend has problems! the whole climax/denouement was so fricken out there. the brownie speech? loooooool
― la monte jung (cutty), Saturday, 21 November 2009 13:01 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah the climax was out there. . . somewhere
― jazzgasms (Mr. Que), Saturday, 21 November 2009 14:43 (fourteen years ago) link
That climax was so funny. Cutting between all the characters and having them harmonize that song was the funniest/craziest thing I've seen from NBC Thursdays this year, prob.
― Cunga, Saturday, 21 November 2009 15:58 (fourteen years ago) link
Agreed on the climax, and while it was still pretty feel-good and look at everyone coming together and achieving their goals, it did it in a way that wasn't the aspirational preachiness of most of the episodes so far.

I forgot about the Dark Knight parody scene, though. That was good as well. Did anyone else hear rumors that the shows' creator isn't even sure if he wants to do more than one season of this? He'd rather have one amazing season than see quality slip over time.
Here's a youtube of the "Somewhere, Out There" scene:

man that is better the second time around. when senor chang screams? loooool

Uh. The show is getting fairly good but come on.

I think it's far from great, though I enjoy it and have hopes. Just last night I said, "this is better then Parks and Recreation was last year", and P+R has been a total gem this year. I think Community can go either way. I'm rooting for it.

...you know what this means? i can return to my life as a child actor

you were a child actor????? details?????
― jazzgasms (Mr. Que), Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:45 (fourteen years ago) link
haha it came up on some other threads recently, i thought it had been established--
― crazy farting throwback jersey (gbx), Wednesday, 2 December 2009 18:46 (fourteen years ago) link
best episode ever. when troy was hungover at the end!
― mascara and pies (a hoy hoy), Friday, 4 December 2009 10:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Pretty good episode. That security cop is from the Dasariski improv show in LA.
― Cunga, Friday, 4 December 2009 22:06 (fourteen years ago) link
loved troy writing the crabs joke.
― Wee xx (a hoy hoy), Friday, 4 December 2009 22:23 (fourteen years ago) link
He has such great facial expressions and split-second comic timing. I think that's what a previous poster meant when they said he was a subtle actor.
Remember "Ha. I'm funny." from a few weeks ago?
― Cunga, Friday, 4 December 2009 22:26 (fourteen years ago) link
Okay, is that Anthony Michael Hall in the Freddie Mercury mustache?
I'm loving this particular episode more than most, so far.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 11 December 2009 01:08 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh bah. I posted on the other Community thread. Anyway, my fave two moments so far this episode:
"Ho ho ho. Merry happy!"
And Annie being Jewish.
― Mordy, Friday, 11 December 2009 01:09 (fourteen years ago) link
"So, I didn't know you were a Jew." <--this isn't an offensive thing to say!
― Mordy, Friday, 11 December 2009 01:13 (fourteen years ago) link
Man, Donald Glover is just about my favorite person in the world right now. "Give him the Forest Whitaker eye!"

i just lost it with the forest whitaker eye
― Bastards of Young Dro, Friday, 11 December 2009 01:16 (fourteen years ago) link
Now I'm afraid this show has peaked, because that was the best/funniest episode yet.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 11 December 2009 01:27 (fourteen years ago) link
so pumped for this episode now (west coast).
― Cunga, Friday, 11 December 2009 03:37 (fourteen years ago) link

"am i right, JEW?"

One of the things I like about this show is that within ~12 eps, they've built up the characters so that when Shirley talks about her post-final Christmas party, I am already anticipating lolz.
― kingfish, Friday, 11 December 2009 06:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Jesus, this one was awesome. From Abed backing up Britta's jokes to the end-credits sequence.

Oops, can a moderator stop this other thread

"Why'd she have to be black?" was maybe my favorite line, but there were many good ones.
― Cunga, Friday, 11 December 2009 20:46 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah this was a good ep i thought

but their take on jehovah's witnesses was a lil off imo
this has got really good!

otm.
am i being retarded though? i didn't get "say the whole word".
― Smokey and the S'Banned It (history mayne), Monday, 14 December 2009 00:48 (fourteen years ago) link
i think the idea is that when shirley said "jew" it sound pejorative
― max, Monday, 14 December 2009 00:49 (fourteen years ago) link
i was never particularly into Chevy Chase, but man, everything he does on this show has me breaking up
― dell (del), Monday, 14 December 2009 02:43 (fourteen years ago) link
he's doing everything he's always done!
― robster craws (cutty), Monday, 14 December 2009 04:10 (fourteen years ago) link
I think this is the best episode yet. This show is becoming comedy gold.
Chevy Chase is good in this show, because he's used sparingly. Chevy Chase vehicles are usually awful; CC as an ensemble cast member = comedy gold.

Didn't much care for the pilot so didn't watch further, but because I have no life, watched the mini-marathon, I have now some catching up to do. Also, Mrs. Pete Campbell is yowza.
― Leee, Tuesday, 29 December 2009 19:54 (fourteen years ago) link
good thing you have no life. this show is the best!
― bum-sniff deviant (cutty), Tuesday, 29 December 2009 19:55 (fourteen years ago) link
I wouldn't go that far, but yes, I quite like it now.
― Leee, Thursday, 31 December 2009 06:08 (fourteen years ago) link
it is my favorite new show of 2009
