Community, the tv show

I enjoyed the Pierce-as-a-teenager sub story, but the Abed/Jesus/meta thing was really interesting to me. I thought it was pretty smart!

'hey, bitch, why don't you go back to your temple?'

The story was v. interesting but yeah, also not as funny as it could have been. The end all made it worth it though, like Jeff getting Britta added as the emergancy contact and the dressing up as Jeff thing.

i know abed's jesus getup was going for romance-novel stud, but i'm convinced there was a little tommy wiseau mixed up in there too.

weird episode

but no way it was going to be as good as kfc space

"That sounds... very appealing to filmmakers" was sterling though.

I turned it on halfway through the episode and for about 5 minutes I thought he was being Michael Jackson.

Aww, somebody made a Shirley tribute video and Yvette linked to it on twitter (it's actually pretty good)

This reminded me of the God episode of Louie, and not just because of the subject matter. It wasn't funny ha-ha all the time but I really liked a lot of the ideas in it.

Abed also channeling Criss Angel a bit.

Hm, I thought this was great actually, one of their most original, cleverest episodes.

Then, I thought the ep with Jeff's lawyer friend was really weak, relatively.

loved the rap - 'tables made of pies'

britta was looking more fine than usual? or was that just me?

weird ep for sure

they shd stop using the word meta

pretty sure using the word meta was meta

sundar otm both times

weird one but i still enjoyed it thoroughly

The "ABED" song was a nice touch.

OMG SHORT ARMED BRITTA

This is an amazing episode so far.

this is as good or better than paintball

Be the first black guy to make it to the ned

I wonder if this is even funny to people who don't know the characters. It's hilarious to us, but...

Chang and Shirley <3<3<3

I wish I could remember all of Chang's burn quote.

IN YOUR FACE

lol @ George Takei's voicemail bonus for people named Kevin.

FLAVA FLAV WAS RIGHT

@perpetua Is every other episode of Community going to be a lame movie parody now?

It's probably not fair to pick on Matthew since he doesn't post here anymore, but this is a case of someone completely missing what's so great about a particular show.

I wish I could remember all of Chang's burn quote.

I can see his point, and there were problems with the premise of this episode, but it was still really, really funny so I don't really mind. xpost

Chang killed it all episode.

Perpetua being astoundingly wrong shocker.

Community is special in a way that I can appreciate what the characters are doing and, in a completely separate way, appreciate what the actors are doing within the parameters of the show. When there's a more "normal" episode, I laugh at Troy or Abed or Chang, but in an episode like this, I'm laughing at Donald Glover or Danny Pudi or Ken Jeong having a great time making a tv show.

I'm still giggling over short armed T-Rex britta ^____________^

Thinking of South Park

Fantastic episode. The cat flying across the basement had me rolling. And kudos for completely ruining the Lady Gaga costume joke on The Office.

I love how they keep taking shots at Shatner too.

smh at people who are like "bleh i hate it when they do parodies." WHY DO YOU HATE JOY.

Zombie Jeff trying to text and Zombie Annie trying to study just killed me, this show is so fucking good right now.

great ep, so many little details throughout

LOL at the dean's voice memos interspersed with ABBA "Oh, and I need to check out this movie called Human Centi-"

knew I recognised chiquita MD from somewhere; he was good in tht one ep of justified

Dean Pelton's Lady Gaga costume was soooo much better than Gabe's.

It also just made more sense; of COURSE Dean Pelton would go as Lady Gaga. Gabe's character isn't interesting enough for him dressing up as Lady Gaga to elicit anything more than a "Oh. Hm." If that.

And Pelton's seemed less professional/we-have-a-TV-budget than Gabe's.

great episode. Troy and Abed's Alien/Ripley fight had me dying.

yeah, you would think that it would get old, but it's a testament to how great a show it is that after decades of south park/simpsons/family guy 5 parodies per episode, these writers still manage to find fresh ways to pull it off.
