Community (NBC/Yahoo) TV Show • Page 37

I definitely think Alison is the best actor in the group, I feel like if this table read were a real-life production of an episode, she wouldn't have needed to do any additional takes at all heh. Great timing and comedic ability. But Gillian and Danny are a very, very close second. And then Donald is the comedy king when it comes to overreactions and overall silliness

EDIT

I almost forgot about Jim Rash, though, he's also incredible at comedy

 

Im up to season 6 now on my rewatch. The first couple of episodes were pretty boring and didnt have many laughs, but then the episode where they gave a dog a degree had me dying.

 

FIVE CANS??!

...

 

Season 6 was interesting for me. I pretty much re-watched seasons 1-4, and then 5 and 6 were new for me. 6 feels like a pretty much different show. The bloated run times don't really serve the episodes and the characters kind of lose the edges they had in the first two seasons especially.

But I laughed plenty and the paintball episode is wonderful! And the VR stuff with the Dean had me rolling. Those animations were perfect.

 

JESUS WEPT

 

For there were no more worlds to conquer

 

this is one of my fav community moments!

 

Does anyone else occasionally skip the series finale? It's the perfect ending and a great episode, but man, it really hits me in the feels these days

I keep watching this show on a loop ever since dropping on Netflix. Probably on my 5th Netflix watch so far on top of the million times I've cycled it on Hulu

 

You absolutely nailed this lol. For what it's worth Chevy Chase was really great on this show too for the first two or so seasons imo

 

Chevy was good at his role, but he's such a piece of shit in real life I can't really divorce that from the character, especially when that character pretty much becomes a caricature of what he was like in real life by S2. I like S1 Pierce well enough but after that he's insufferable to me

 

Pierce didn’t really have any redeeming qualities as a character or friend to the others, so it’s always confounding watching the other characters forgive his actions as if he’s worth being in their lives. He never really clicks well with any of them, and through most of s2 he’s literally the antagonist lol. Like I always thought it was bizarre that he calls Annie his favorite because he did very little to ever show that he actively liked her. In the second ep he and Jeff have to do a Spanish project together and the only reason Jeff pulls through for him at the last minute is because Britta guilts him into realizing that Pierce is incredibly lonely, and that was a good foreshadowing of every subsequent “emotional” Pierce moment: accepting not because they like anything about him, but because they see in him their own potential loneliness

 

Tbf Annie stuck up for him when the group wanted to get rid of him and I think he grew respect of her independence after she returned his check to help her with rent

I agree he never really clicks well with anyone, though. It was also jarring when they went full-on asshole with him in eps like D&D, not that I don't absolutely love that episode

 

I was pretty young when I saw that episode and it kinda scared me to see someone be that cruel

 

Chevy has been posting about Community recently and it’s... odd

 

Why is there a fork hanging from his jacket

 

otoh Pierce choosing to hump Neil’s sword and menacingly changing Neil’s shape to “fat” will never not be hilarious to me

 

I honestly very easily forget that he is the same Chevy Chase that I see in all those comedies from the 70s/80s. Like obviously he looks different but even when his old characters are buffoons they are still very quick-witted and charming in a way that Pierce never comes across

 

Curious what the metal pole next to him is? As much of a jerk as he is, I hope he's ok and that's not some kinda IV drip

 

Yeah I always laugh at the rubbing the sword on his balls and wiping his ass with it haha

 

Totally forgot Matt Berry/Laszlo played the grifting professor in S6. Just watched the ep last night.

 

Grifting is the only S6 episode I wasn't crazy about tbh

 

I liked the absurd sequence at the end when they're chanting "Hot Dogs! Hot Dogs!" and Chang yells "Ohhh because I Can't. Be. TRUSTED!"

 

I love when it did the flashback/revelation of Abed swapping out the briefcase and it was just like the complete opposite of sneaky, you could see the shelf rocking back and forth and him fumbling around with it lol

 

Ya that scene made me chuckle too. The audio gag of the whole swap being loud was great.

 

Finally got to watch the table read, really fun. Dan talking shit on the writing kind of rubbed me the wrong way when I realized he didn't write the episode and it wasn't just self-deprecating humor.
