Humor A detail I noticed on a recent rewatch

Post image
207 Upvotes

In the episode Paradigms of Human Memory, there's a flashback where Abed walks into his room and discovers a nude Jeff and Britta.

I was at first confused by this comical situation, but the dialogue soon establishes that a leprechaun took their clothes. Despite this explanation, I suspect that there might be more to the story.

First, Jeff and Britta seem more surprised at seeing Abed than they are concerned about finding the leprechaun. Second, the leprechaun was never mentioned again or otherwise established as a canon creature within the universe of the show. And last, it was established (foreshadowed) in an earlier episode that Jeff is willing to lie in order to gain a temporary advantage.

Based on all these factors, I believe that Jeff told Abed a lie about the leprechaun and that he and Britta were actually having sex. Unfortunately we can't confirm this for sure, but that's my head canon. Dan Harmon is a genius.

(i'm so sorry)

S1E24 English as a Second Language

I really appreciate good casting with Spanish-speaking characters. I don’t often see a production bothering to look for native speakers whose language level aligns with their role.

La doctora Escodera truly sounds like a Spanish educator. Her stern tone reminded me of a few teachers I’ve had 😅

2 Upvotes

Just rewatched the episode and realised that when Annie is calling Troy and Abed bad friends, it shows the tv with the dvd logo bouncing. They arent even watching the movie..

Im guessing its to avoid copyright but it was just something i noticed.

Also that exact line- "you two are bad friends" is used in Bobby Lee's podcast intro song Bad Friends.

Discussion Episode 6 Season 6

20 Upvotes

When in around 17 mins in we find that Jeff has rated Britta 1 and Annie 2 only once on feb 7 2013 I was wondering how this relates to community timeline

This date is the day season 4 premiered so it would place it on episode 1 of that season. However based on the community timeline and that episode 10 of season 4 was Christmas it leads me to think that in the community world it would fall more likely in episode 11. It is hard to track down the perfect date because of the season 4 messy timeline.

Anyway I was wondering why Jeff would rank her number one on that specific day and never again. Episode 11 is when Britta and Troy break up and the plot of body swapping is thrown around. It’s was a really cruel way for Troy to break up with her especially for one of the least selfish characters. I suppose Jeff could be feeling bad for her post break up or even still have feelings for her.

So idk if this was a deliberate date or just random but
the fact that season 4 was picked even tho it had the least Britta and Jeff romance. As for me at least in episode 6 season 6 we could see semi-romantic tension.

Yo quisiera compartir algos piensamientos sobre mi favorito episodio de Community. Como todos ustedes pueden saber, Community es mi favorito somico serie, y lo veia hace cinco años, cuando tenía quince años. El mejor episodio para mi es "Remedia Chaos Theory, pero yo pienso que da la mensja mal sobre Jeff. Cuando Jeff sale, el otras personas eran mas contento y pueden celebrar. Pero en realidad, en otras episodios, Jeff es el razon el grupo pueden tener los mejores vidas possible.

And Keith David my favorite performer. And Billy Zane as my favorite one-off performance. And the part where Britta spaces out to "Nathalie is Freezing" my favorite scene. And Todd as my favorite side-character.

I didn't really appreciate the final season the first time I saw it, so I wanted to express some appreciation now.

What do you guys are the best/funniest titles? I’m talking about most interesting, clever, or funniest based on title alone, regardless of the quality of the episode itself.

I think my personal favorites are “Aerodynamics of Gender” and “Geothermal Escapism.”

FanFic Sesh Who's who in the "Community Odyssey"?

40 Upvotes

Since the release of this interview ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyFjxOfkdQw ) I have been imagining an Odyssey movie but make it Community and I want to share my fancast and read other fans' ideas!

Jeff is Odysseus, I think that's a no-brainer.

While I would love the Dean to play Jeff's wife, I think he would rather be Calypso who tricks Jeff into staying with him.

Abed, sort of being the son of the group, would be Telemachus, Prince of Greenthaca (?)

Annie is perfect for the role of Circe, the witch who turns men into pigs, I'm very much thinking of her spooky story where she's a werewolf and kills Jeff. However, she would also be a good Athena because of her amazing chemistry with Jeff, so perhaps a dual role for Annie?

I'm not sure about Britta, but I do see her as Penelope and if Abed is Telemachus, they'd be a good mother-son duo.

Shirley's character does fit with Athena, but as I mentioned, I think Annie has better chemistry with Jeff that Athena needs to inspire Odysseus and lead him home. I loved Shirley in a male costume when they reenacted Pulp Fiction, so maybe she could be Eurylochus, Odysseus's loyal crew member.

Troy simply has to be Helen of Troy. I accept other options but this is the only one I see.

Pierce needs to be an antagonist - I can picture him as Antinous who tries to marry Penelope.

Chang might be the cyclops?

Obviously there are loads of other roles both in Community and the Odyssey, I was also thinking about Duncan as Antinous but I think he's not confident enough.

I'm very curious to read your ideas!

In the episode where we find out that Britta and Jeff have been sleeping together for a long time... It's told as a big revelation... But it was hinted at much earlier in the show.... In the Bottle episode... Jeff says he has a catch to date which the dean repeats to him a little later... To which Britta looks at Jeff perplexed and he replies " Oh like you are famous for your wit! "

Also in the same episode Troy asks what kind of Underwear Jeff is wearing and he says Soy Cotton Blend to which Britta remarks "Don't you usually wear the stripey turquoise Beattlejuice number? " And Abed even says "What does she mean usually?? "

Amazing writing

Appreciation Post I don't know why I have avoided watching Community for so long!!

Hello everybody! I just have to say that back in 2011 I was a 17yo teen (who was also a nerd and kinda weird) and some of my friends came up to me saying "Oh, you must watch this show, it is SO your thing" and I was like "mmmmm no, thanks"...

Now, 15 years later, I started to watch Community and, guys, what a marvelous thing! I can even see why those friends (whith whom unfortunately I'm not in touch anymore) thought It would be nice for me to watch.

Looking at my 17yo self, I can see I would probably have been offended at being compared with all those crazy characters (that now I love). But today, with a decade and a half added to my years, I am amazed by this show.

That's it, nothing more than me venting a few ideas about the series.

Thank you all!

Garrett and Vicky have kinda been friends throughout the show. Just an episode before this they established that they have their own comedy show coming up as well.

Do you think narratively it would have made more sense to propose to Vicky instead of Stacy, who just got introduced and then immediately proposed to?

Discussion Professor Whitman's teleportation

44 Upvotes

Okay, this is weirdly specific, but it always bothered me.

In S1E3, ending scene : Jeff and Britta are talking, Britta says kiss me, they kiss, and when they separate Pr Whitman appears in the space between them.

The effect is cool, but I get get my head around HOW they filmed it.

The scene is a sequence-shot, and it start with a rotating camera so clearly there is no one behind them at the start of the kiss.

During the kiss, the camera comes closer, but not enough for Whitman to have come from off screen, left or right.

So really, how did they do it? I hardly believe they took the effort of making two identical shot, it would be to complicated.
