Community

Hell yeah! This one of my all time favorites no question about it, I'm currently waiting for the 6th season (and a movie!) to come out, should be out soon enough. Seasons 1-3 are pure gold in my opinion, especially seasons 1 and 2. There's such a great balance between humor and love, but not getting into the cliché moves everybody could expect... I don't want to spoil anything but... Season 2 spoiler coming...

Spoiler:

It also has so many little great details. Supporting characters such as starburns played by Dino Stomatopoulos who is so frigging funny! And what is there to say about John Oliver (whose podcast I'm a great fan of). And they also got really great guest stars. For instance, Betty White appeard in the Season 2 premier playing a teacher who was a little much too tough for regular class attendees. That very episode sets up one of the simplest yet more recognizable moments of the series:



Too bad the conclusion of Jeff's presentation is not featured on the video, it was one of my favorite moments of the season (featuring Mrs White). Here's my girlfriend's personal favorite moment. When we were watching this I swear we had to pause because we couldn't follow up given the amount of laughter. Such a great, funny little scene.




I have also followed Dan Harmon (Series creator and mastermind) career outside Community, I'm also a devoted listener of his podcast, Harmontown, featuring him, Jeff Davies (known from Whose Line is it Anyway?), and many comedians such as Kumail Nanjiani and Bobcat Goldthwait. One of his fellow co-workers, Spencer Critteden, has appeared on the show as Annie's brother. He went from audience member to podcast collaborator to Harmon's protégé in less than a year, pretty awesome dude.

I'd strongly recommend to follow his podcast, and especially, his other co-created show, Rick and Morty, which for me is one of the strongest ongoing shows right now! Go watch it you won't regret it.

And back to Community, could leave without saying nobody does pal-war like Community and their paintball games to death, they are so worth watching I won't even reveal any detail. Great series. Weak 4th season. Notable 5th season. Exceptional 1st to 3rd seasons. Let's see where the 6th season lands!

I've heard of Community; checking out one or two odd episodes (one of them featuring paintball) and it was pretty funny, the little bit I've seen. Which makes me wonder why I've never checked out more of it.. Been looking for a comedy kind of show to get into and after reading what Lahm wrote, this looks like the ticket.

I really think you won't regret watching it! And also there's a 1 hour and 20 minutes video containing all the first season's outtakes which is also pretty funny. I love me some bloopers.

Oh now I'm even happier I started watching it! Looking forward to each and every episode. That cat hah..

Do you have a link to that podcast btw? Seems fun, and Jeff being my fav it sure sounds great. I chicken on that spoiler tag, didn't read longer than to when you first mentioned Jeff, I'll get back to you when I've seen it (which will probably be quite soon). I love the chemistry and randomness of the group. Latest episode of season 1 i watched was when they had that carpe diem teacher haha...

They also show a later season on TV which I'm seeing, but don't know which season. This mordning they were telling each other ghost stories to see who is a psycopath (based on Brittas psychology test). Also, Jeff has a short beard in this season, you know which it is?

Ooh and I love bloopers..! I also read about the movie, do you know when it shall come out? This year, next year..?  


Haha and the episode before that was when Chang had a monologue in his head as an inspector and later burnt down his office.

Oh, I love the ghost stories episode, that would be season 3, let me check... yes, season 3 episode 5 "Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps".

The Carpe Diem was the "stand on your desks" guy right? hahaha that was nice. That was close to the "Ultimate Blow Off Class" Jeff's always looking for. Lately in the season he finds his real blow off class of the year. And if you watched Arrested Development, that episode would be even better, guaranteed!

You can find the podcast in here: http://www.harmontown.com/category/podcasts/

I started listening right from the beginning, at one point the start carrying out a Dungeons & Dragons campaign, so one could feel a little lost at that part of the podcast. But the rest is nice, just that guy saying whatever comes to his head, may them like it or not.

They actually started the "Six seasons and a movie" thing I guess as an inside joke but fans took it from the episode it came from (season 2) and made it the show's unofficial motto. And it is close to be a reality! As far as I know the movie would be still far from shot but the idea is there and all the cast would be on board. That would be great!

Ah ok. Haha yes, the stand on your desks guy... He was really over the top, quite literally when he climbs a tree in the background after Jeff's kiss.

Thanks! Gonna check it out, although I misinterpretted you and thought you meant Jeff as in Joel McHale haha... Just realised I've seen him in The Soup?

Oh I see, I just read about the six seasons and a Movie on wikipedia and Dan seemed to be open for as many seasons as possible. Unfortunately I also saw the Viewer numbers have gone downwards each year, hope they'll continue anyway.

Another thing I came to Think of that I enjoy is that the Group consists of people in different ages (although I was quite shocked when I say the age of McHale (Jeff)!  

Oh that's true, too many Jeffs haha Yes Joel is the regular host of The Soup,though I have to admit I've only watch some clips via YouTube, never got to watch one full episode of that show. They play around the age and racial differences a lot. Dan Harmon himself somewhat obsessed with black people, I don't exactly know why. He'd like to be black or something like that. He plays a black rapper in one "Rick & Morty" episode and he loves to rap during his podcast. But back to the ages, what does Joel do, I mean, he looks sooooooo good! And you'll get to see some more Jeff "parts" in future episodes, can't go further without spoiling something.

Whenever I watch Community I remember Dan Harmon's crazy thought of starting a Moon Colony (that's actually what Harmontown is, he's what should be the mayor of a Moon colony... he's not crazy enough to believe that's true, but they play along the subject every now and then). When I see all the diversity, you've got the sport dude with a heart, the future of the mark-obsessed girl from anyone's school class, a single mom, the sexy lawyer that went too far somewhere down the road... there's even a old bored homophobic rich man... that's a diverse group right there! Maybe what he'd have chosen to get to the Moon given the chance! hahaha

RockRosen wrote:

I've only seen a few episodes, on Comedy central I think.. Yes they do, but in a way that works anyway, and that Moon Colony kinda sounds like the study Group in Community don't you think? Or maybe that's the point... I know right, I thought he was like 15 years younger. Oh and I've naturally already googled pics of him in full body and noticed some of what'll come.

Oh dear then enjoy... what a lucky wife he has I guess! Being that funny and having that body should be forbidden, there's no way to compete :S

That's a really good point, never thought about it that way.

I'm leaving a short vid to ensure people who are not thinking of watching this know what they're missing. Does not contain any major spoiler that I can think of, except for the ending of that very episode. In any case, I'll leave it "hidden".

To RR - The clip is from the 17th episode of the 1st season, in case you'll prefer waiting to watch it then!
