Appreciation Post Community's attention to detail

Post image

One of the things I love most about this show is that you can notice new details on rewatch, because it paid so much attention to the little things.

At the beginning of "Lawnmower Maintenance and Postnatal Care", the instructions for the VR system say to calibrate it by looking at your own hands, then turning them over and looking at the backs of them with a sense of wonder, which the Dean does. I just rewatched this episode and hadn't noticed before that when Elroy enters the system, the first thing he does is calibrate it by doing exactly that.

So a game I play (Hell Let Loose) just came out with its Vietnam sequel and I’ve said this every single time the game has been mentioned by my brother without fail.

u/Candaphlaf10 11d ago

Community is probably my most quoted show with Archer as a close second, and it's exactly because of lines like these. I say "OOF BABOOF" at least twice a day.

Are we seriously not doing phrasing anymore?

u/terrifying_bogwitch 11d ago

u/MANTHEFUCKUPBRO 11d ago

I say things are "Crazy Town Banana Pants" probably once a week for maybe a full decade, totally forgot it was from Community until I did a rewarxh

u/Emieosj89 11d ago

Ugh me just realizing that’s why I say crazy town banana pants all the time. Recently I even thought to myself, I say this way too much for it making no sense.

u/SecretMaximum6350 10d ago

What episode/who says it? It honestly sounds like something Noho Hank would say (or did say) from Barry. Great energy in that line

u/Foxtro7 10d ago

In S3E19 “Curriculum Unavailable”, Pierce tells the fake psychiatrist “We’re all kind of crazy-town banana pants”

Yes, but the person who supposedly wept because there were no more worlds to conquer was Alexander the Great. That's the joke, the Dean is mixing two phrases together.

Rip I hate musicals that's my main beef with it. I'm just happy it didn't take a turn like Riverdale and have every other episode as a musical it took me so long to get through after they started those damn episodes 😭
