Community, the tv show

he was soooo creepy in that bit, which movie was that a reference to

omfg Dean's freestyle rap

and the cheesy pic on the Chemistry book cover...the VHS interactive game....wow.

OMG VINCE GILLIGAN'S GUEST SPOT

Dean's rap killed me. Everything about it. Amazing.

Barack Obama is SCAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRED OF ME

the guest stars in this episode! brie larson! spencer from harmontown! vince gilligan? paul williams? gina gershon?

SPENCER

Perfect episode in every way. Dean's rap probably the funniest moment of the season. I was in tears.

How in the fuck did this show stay so fucking good after Glover left?

OMG VINCE GILLIGAN'S GUEST SPOT

― Neanderthal

His identity was bugging me so much, finally twigged who he was in the coda.

He looks so at sea in the coda with Gina gershon. Makes me love him all the more.

Supposedly he kept protesting to Harmon "I'm not an actor!" Harmon's response was basically, "Great! Use that!"

Oh right, he's dressed as a PayDay bar, duh

so fucking funny!!!!

The more I watch it, the more I'm convinced it's the funniest gag to ever happen on Community.

Gilligan was awesome, I died when they fired up that vhs game

I played so many of those shitty games as a kid...such a good sendup.

my bro and I replayed the "Barack Obama is scared of me" part until we were sufficiently laughed out and could move on

i like you can see the fear in his eyes when he starts to go off

"all the black man gets is a PLATE OF WHITE LIES" while Shirley looks completely petrified

The moment when drops the mic is perfectly timed.

And the sight of a huge Payday skittering out of the room...I fucking lost it.

The payday gag was lost somewhere over the altantic. I assume it's some kind of snack bar.

Making an early 90s VCR game the central conceit of an episode gives me the feeling that Dan Harmon et al are gloriously flying the Enterprise straight into the sun just to see what they can get away with.

Ps we had the I, Robot VCR game when I was 13

This episode was great. And now I also know that my complete dragon strike boardgame at home is worth something.

this was a brilliant episode, and still for all that dean pelton was the MVP

Chang's confession was great too

On some level the show feels less ambitious than it did in season 2, even though its basically doing the same thing. Only then it felt like "who knows where this could go?" And now its "celebrations of obscure reference points that still focus on the emotional dynamics between the characters, that's what we do." I used to worry the show would turn Family Guy but its got way too much heart to do that right now. So it's a little low impact and I can't imagine non-nerd people who aren't already into it getting into it, but I don't care because I'm so grateful for it.

Great episode!

And wow, Gina Gershon has been taking care of herself.

D&D episode next week!

nice

is Spencer coming back for it?

"we didnt learn nothin"

best part was gillian jacobs turning around after the dean scutters away, brief moment where she looks like she's about to lose her shit

yeah i caught that too, she's almost in pain keeping it in

Both her and Joel look directly at the camera for a split second

also loved the bit where abed and annie shared a look that basically said "we do not want britta to live with us"

Thought that last episode was mixed. The VHS half was enjoyable, especially Gilligan, but not really actual-laughing-funny. The textbook story was kind of boring and confusing.

I've really enjoyed this season, but something about it is almost starting to remind of Red Dwarf, although maybe that's just a hangover from last week.

The textbook part was the most conventional part of the ep!

It did kind of remind me of that lame episode where everyone was stuck in the garage at a Thanksgiving dinner for some reason.

eh I thought it was cute they had Vince Gilligan in the nerdy storyline while the rest of the cast was in a BB style heist & betrayal plot

The vcr game was hilar cos some of those games were convoluted and ridiculous.

not quite sure what the exemplars were of the genre that the textbook plot was based on, but the musical cues were perfect.

a simple plan

i love that beat where Gilligan gives an instruction on the game and then he pauses forever til you think the tape is stuck and then he yells GO or whatever

brought back vhs game memories

also the convoluted rules made me lol

cf in parks and recs Ben Wyatt's Settlers of Catan geek out and the ridiculous game he invented and bequeathed to his bean counter colleagues
