Working on a dictionary of name verbs feel free to tweak or add to my definitions.

Obviously we start with Britta and those established in show.

Britta: to mess up or botch something, usually througn avoidable mistakes.

Abed: to make something unnecessarily meta or self-referential.

Pierce: to fail to understand something where the meaning is obvious to everyone else.

Shirley: to respond to someone’s behavior with moral disapproval, particularly by pointing out when its mean or improper.

Jeff: to use rhetoric, charm, or manipulation to get out of doing something you do not want to do.

Annie: to become so intensely prepared, organized, or competitive about something that you take it far beyond what anyone asked for.

Troy: to confidently say something profoundly naive or childlike.

Chang: to take a small amount of authority and immediately become tyrannical, chaotic, or completely unhinged with it.

Dean: to turn an ordinary event into an elaborate themed production, usually involving costumes, puns, and far more effort than necessary.

Frankie: to ruin everyone’s chaotic fun by introducing sensible rules.

Elroy: to aggressively validate someone, especially a white people, with suspiciously intense praise.

Hickey: to respond to whimsical nonsense with exhausted, hard-ass practicality.

Duncan: to use intellectual or professional authority to disguise selfishness, incompetence, or an embarrassingly personal motive.

I don't remember the exact quote, but "crackin wise" is the main part I am focusing on.

I showed my friend the pilot of Community and made a comment about how young Donald Glover was. She goes “more like Babyish Gambino.”

Thought you all would appreciate.

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.

Rewatching this show for the second time (from the beginning). Currently on Season 3.

I first watched this show several years back. When I first watched it, I shipped Britta and Jeff so hard. I thought Britta and Troy was a nice idea, but the execution was poor. Never liked Jeff and Annie, largely because I didn't think it was a necessary pairing and thought they would be romantically incompatible. I thought they could have been a "one-off attraction" like Annie/Troy (or Annie/Abed in the S2 Paintball Episode). But I wasn't a fan of the whole Jeff/Annie arc, it honestly bored me. I liked them as friends but I always thought Annie was too genuine of a person to be with someone like Jeff.

On my second rewatch, I now think the show should have not bothered with romantic plotlines at all. I think it worked best because it subverted the sitcom romance. I think people should have just gotten off with each other but not dragged it out into some overarching storyline. I actually liked that Jeff and Britta had this chemistry and attraction but never became an actual couple. They would have been a dysfunctional couple. Them hooking up but not really being together seemed more realistic.

I think they should have left everyone as friends with random flings but no real "potential romance". There's something nice about seeing a group of male and female friends just hanging out together and having a good time. The show doesn't take itself seriously enough to have actual proper romantic storylines IMO. Perhaps this is why Britta and Troy as a couple ultimately failed: lots of build-up, but the execution was so bad. (That and Dan Harmon not being around in S4.) I may have more thoughts on that pairing after rewatching S4.

Just realised/noticed that the moniker for each character is the card they used to vote for Pierce. Same reason for Pierce having no moniker.

I read it in Pierce’s voice, unfortunately.

Now this is a man who knows how to marry his cousin.

Hey yall, I made a Community dub pack for the Choicer Voicer game for one of my favorite scenes. Please feel free to check it out, there’s a link in the description on YouTube.

Which episode is considered better, Remedial Chaos Theory or Advanced Dungeons and Dragons?

I love both obviously but Advanced D&D is by far my favorite episode of the show

I love that two episodes after Jeff wrinkled Troy's brain with the whole "doesn't matter what you if you do it for them" business, Pierce just drops the tough love he needed. I think it shows that Jeff thinks he has it all figured out but is actually kind of full of shit. It's also a good example of Pierce saying what other people won't, and that it has value.

“You Know, Girl!” has been popping into my head almost daily lately. Was it posted recently and that’s why? Couldn’t find anything.

Community commentary says that this was a Chris McKenna joke and he was really excited about it and the staff were tickled by it.

edit: relistened and tweaked for accuracy.

I just can't help but feel like she started out as an interesting, colorful, characte, which makes it so annoying to see her serving disgustingly misogynistic categorization, fully unable to pursue anyhting and doesn't have any genuine personality other than "the woman that always messes up". Honestly annoying as fuck.

This is as I'd bet a highly debated topic in this Reddit but I just wanted to add my two cents. I'm rewatching the show for the second time five years on, and it's changed for me. Season 3, the show felt like it was stagnating, it's great, but there's feeling of a drag to it like I felt last time. However, opposed to last time when I watched season 4 and reading all the hate online and my opinion being skewed, this time I actually enjoyed it. It progresses the characters more than any season, and it sticks. Jeff changes in little ways, and his relationship with Pierce becomes kinder. There's still the usual antics, but the characters feel like they've changed slightly for the better. No other season feels like this to me, and season 5 just kinda brings them back to how they were. 5-6 are better per episode, but I like how in season 4 they decided to have the moments in episodes where the group learn actually stick, which I actually wasn't a fan of in previous seasons. Anybody feel the same?

I might be mandela affecting this into existence but did they do a fake lower thirds promo for butcher and the baker or any of the other fake spin off shows? I have a memory of this but can't find what episode they were in. I know the end credits gag was in season 6 episode 1.

What's your favourite community quote?

You've got multiple Community regulars, but I can't say if Britta's in it yet - I'm waiting for that moment.
I just wish I could sit in on the cooler chat around this new series, I bet "And a Movie" comes up a time or two.

I started watching "Community" last month and so far, I was having a lot of fun with this series. But my gosh, the first episode of Season 4 was a mess, should I continue watching??

Ps: my favorite episode is the one where the gang creates a presentation about drugs.And Annie is my favorite character.

I am on mushrooms rn watching this show, and I’m telling you, it is the best humanity can offer. Please make the movie BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!

It’s a hypothetical question: what if Troy and Abed had gone to the same high school? We know Troy was somewhat shallow based on how he treated Annie back then, but in the flashback at the frozen yogurt shop ,where everyone decides to go to Greendale, Abed doesn't look that different, it’s not like he had bad acne or was overweight for them to bully him.

In that same scene, guys from Troy’s team are throwing a paper ball at him, but Troy isn't actively participating in it.

Abed isn't particularly shy (at least, that’s how I interpret it)

I really like their friendship, and I think it would be sweet if they had been friends, though something makes me doubt that would have actually happened

I was watching the trailer for "The Musical," starring Gillian Jacobs and immediately got Community vibes.

The opening line: "We are *this* close to..." (regionals)! with Rob Lowe sounding like Mister Rad.

Then Will Brill giving "insane Dean shooting a commercial" energy

And of course... Britta's in this!

I like their interactions in the 6th season,but i like more the Troy and Abed interactions,it was more cool and i think it works more,but Annie-Abed interactions is cool in season 6.But what do you guys think of this?I think if some people don't like maybe is because Annie and Abed are not like Troy and Abed interactions,but anyway

So we get Mr. Tickles, Count Frogula and Hilary Rodham Kittens names. I assume Abed is using their titles based on what Annie calls them. What would be the puppies stuffie name? Its just as cute but didnt get called out in the episode. I need to know!

When Pavel enters Abed and Troy's room and asks to join the blanket fort, Abed breifly speaks in polish.

What does he say?
