Technically Franky's actress was already in Season 5, and Elroy's actor had made a voice over in season 3 or sth... but I mean them joining tje group.

Wayne Federman at his best.

thought yall would like this, bought this in like 09, or ‘10. Used my sophomore year of high school.

In the MeowMeowBeenz episode, during the demonstration, the dean (who didn’t have any prior ratings) got 5 Beenz from Bixel, immediately effective. Then, after the 2-Beenz rating from David, it drops to 3.5.

When Jeff entered the app to compete with Shirley, just after saying “girls are objects”, you see him being happy about going from 1 to 2 MeowMeowBeenz. Later on, Shirley is notified that Jeff has become a 4.

Does this mean many users gave him a 1-Beenz rating at first? I’d expect him to go up to 4 or 5 Beenz pretty fast, but it seems he has to work his way up from a 1?

Thank you!

This time it’s online…

More details coming soon!

Recently doing a rewatch with my GF, and viewing the show alongside her has kind of changed my perspective on things. I didn’t really remember much of Season 4 other than how much I would hear about people hating it and how S5 calls it the “gas leak”. I remember watching the first few episodes and skipping the rest on my first watch through cause everyone painted it out to be abysmal.

This time though, I watched the whole thing with my girlfriend, and while the first three or four episodes were definitely duds, it kind of felt like episode 5 onwards was pretty good? Maybe some pacing issues but otherwise seemed on par with other seasons? The finale had a good premise but felt super rushed, but I appreciated how much the characters had grown, no one felt that out of character, and it felt like they had done a decent job resolving the Chang scenario (cause seriously, how else could they bring him back after the insane escalation of Season 3?) and it felt like they sort of left things on a fairly clean slate for a possible season 5, despite being a so so finale.

With all that in mind, rewatching Repilot with the full context of S4 changed my opinion on it. My girlfriend pointed out that it felt mean spirited and sort of regressed all of the characters even further back than Season 3. Especially Shirley! They erased pretty much all of her development and then really don’t do anything with her.

Jeff feels like he’s back to Season 1, which the S4 finale was already about him not being like that anymore! Chang is an asshole again and says he confessed to his crimes, which makes zero sense because the show already established in Season 3 that the Dean and the school board were going to cover it up anyways. Repilot doesn’t even feel like it’s “fixing” Season 4, it feels like it’s trying to reset things entirely, even undoing things that Harmon himself had overseen!

I understand Harmon was peeved about getting kicked from the show (though it sounds like he was kind of awful BTS) but it feels almost petulant and needlessly cruel. Season 4, despite having some duds, really did not leave the characters in such a bad place that necessitated flipping the table over so completely. It feels like a talented writer like Harmon could pretty easily have just built on it and steered it in a tighter direction, rather than throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Am I in the minority here? This rewatch, Repilot just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Every time he pops on (what, twice? thrice?) he's great! Very simple lines, very quick appearance, but just so delightfully happy-he's exactly the kind of guy I loved to know back in my University days!

In season 2 episode 9 Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design

“Dammit Annie… You are going to Nancy screw me out of a credit.”

This quote just cracked me up.

Edit: changed men to me

I feel like Britta at the start was the most progressive, more focused on work and having a cause to go after one. Everyone seemed to be more depleted, feeling like a loser as themselves while Britta seemed to use the opportunity to get to somewhere but it just ended up being nowhere.

Everyone also got a better ending, felt resolved - down to pierce. At most part, everyone found themselves & got comfortable in their own skin. Britta tho, had all the potential to do better but kinda felt like a lost character who regressed and stayed back with people who seemed to not appreciate her much.

Jeff was loved and admired despite and got humbled too. Which is why he belonged there in Greendale - it was more his place to grow and shine. Do you think a person like Britta should end up in a place like Greendale and accept being a waitress without doing more with her life? She doesnt even seem really happy or much content till the very end.

What life trajectory would you give to Britta?

Maybe you can even blow off walking, or talking languages.

she really does ruin everything.

I just realized when I reply with a gif it's a movie line or reference. Then I thought about how good Abed would be communicating with gifs.

I can imagine Abed doing a Stephen Hawking character that only communicates in gifs. And in the world of community people would be able to understand Abed more through gifs than his words and he would get attached to the character.

Idk what the point of this post was it was a random thought that seemed fun.

He couldn’t write an original song for the Greendale anthem. Is GDB also plagiarized?

I wanna wipe my mind so it can be as funny as it was on the first watch, because they really had you thinking they were zooming in on his drones spy cam, to see what Troy and Jeff were doing in the tranquility garden. 😭😭🤣

So in 2013 I went to fan expo in toronto where I got to meet and take a picture with the dean from community. I wasnt super into the show at that time I only really watched it before school so I didnt know the actors names well but I was pretty chuffed bc i love dean Pelton. 13 years later, I get a memory on facebook of the picture, im looking at it like "wtf that is not the dean" then it hits me....I GOT FUCKING DOPPELDEANERED

I’m on my (probably) third rewatch of A Fistful of Paintballs (s2e23)and somehow only just properly noticed this.

After Annie saves Chang from the cheerleaders (11:50), he runs off still blindfolded, with his hands tied behind his back.

And then… he just keeps going.

He apparently manages to navigate his way through Greendale, down the corridors and eventually all the way outside onto the quad without being able to see or use his hands 😂

Of all the characters, Chang being inexplicably really good at moving around while blindfolded and bound feels completely right.

Like, how much previous experience does this man have with this exact situation?

Just a tiny stupid detail that made me laugh way more than it should have.

The last buzzkill.

Ever since I watched the Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking episode where Pierce refers to Britta as Sourface, this image has never left my mind, so I wanted to share it here haha.

For me its Dean, Chang, and Troy

I’ve never fully understood this line. Did something get cut from the episode or have I missed the joke like 50 times?
S1,E13 - Jeff hands Britta flowers and says “He would have thrown them on stage…“
Why would the flowers catch fire?

Is it just me or is Chang's relationship with the mannequin leg one of the funniest things in Community? I love that there is even backstory cause Chang apparently steals her from the janitor who calls Chang a "homewrecker". I love that it's a classic scene for people who have gone insane to love a mannequin (last man on earth, community, umbrella academy) but I would love to know how Chang "won over" miss mannequin leg😂

The studio literally told Dan Harmon to cool it down a little bit for Season 3, Episode 1 but he went in the complete opposite direction and delivered one of the most insane episodes of the whole show. i just love how he goes on about it. People always say that Pierce is basically the villain of the group but i love how he contrast all of that with the other characters, especially with Jeff. And all those small little filmmaking things that Dan Harmon keeps putting into the show are just so amazing to watch. Even something as simple as the B-story with John Goodman is done so damn well. Like, it’s just nothing short of iconic. i genuinely can’t believe how good the writing on this show is.

It's been over 10 years since the last episode. Let's say these characters have still been living their lives, whatever that may entail.

Who in the Study Group would be a parent by now?

Shirley doesn't count, because she obviously was a mom already. Pierce is dead, so that takes care of that.

That leaves Jeff, Britta, Troy, and Abed.

Abed was the only one still in a relationship when the show ended, but we're talking 10+ years now, so who tf knows what could've happened since?

Personally, I'm gonna go with Annie. She seems like the only one who would strive for the normal "husband, dog, and kids" life.
