Hello, as the title says where can I watch community? They just took it off prime video, now I can’t find it anywhere, any help? Thanks!
I've rewatched the series back-to-back about 6 times in the last couple weeks. I need to get out of this loop but I can't think of another series that hits the same notes and draws you in so deeply.
Any suggestions to help me do literally anything else with my free time? Other series that hit the same?
In the April Fools’ Day episode, it always rubbed me the wrong way that Jeff treated Britta’s prank idea as super lame and dumb. It’s funny! Putting a frog on Chang’s desk with a sombrero would have been cute and harmless, and a good laugh. Am I the only one? Am I lame and dumb?
I remember Paranormal Parentage, Advanced Documentary Filmmaking, and Herstory of Dance being ok
What's the craziest thing you've experienced that could be in a community episode?
Summary taken from IMDb: “Jeff uses Shirley's parental rights waiver against Chang as a way to get Chang out of the apartment, while Britta is afraid to tell Abed and Troy that their new friend is a war criminal.”
So first off, I’m not the biggest fan of Shirley (I think she’s fake, hypocritical, judgmental, and that voice she does when she says That’s nice! 😖) Anyway, as if she weren’t already a difficult character, she tries to con the potential father of her baby out of his parental rights!?! Even though it’s Chang, this is insane to me! Especially given all she “stands for”. And then she gets mad at Jeff when he encourages Chang to be a better person for this child? I mean, am I wrong here?? Need your thoughts 🤔
Currently doing a rewatch of the series and in S2E12 Duncan asks the class a question and Fa-bulous Neil answers it. Duncan says “thank you fat Neil” Neil responds “Neil’s fine.” Duncan says “not from an actuarial standpoint” This joke always went over my head. I thought Duncan just meant not from an actual standpoint. However, from an actuarial standpoint would be how Neil’s life expectancy / life insurance would be calculated. He is saying he is more likely to die early from a life insurance point of view. He is calling him fat. Burn.
Jeff: "I'm not a bully. And implying that is reverse bullying!"
I just thought he was farting to indicate that the fourth season was rough. This is much better.
I've seen this show like a dozen times and just got that today.
In s6e8, when Jeff and Abed are discussing which six minutes to cut from the film, many of the frisbees are chained together with rope. Seems like nothing on this show is an accident. What game were they playing with strung-together frisbees?
Sub-question: how did you find it in the first place?
I regard Community as the smartest comedy show ever written, but I cannot for the life of me sell it to my friends? I'll mention the best episodes but the premise - 7 students at a community college - sounds really mid by itself, it doesn't have the name brand identity of something like Friends or How I Met Your Mother, so I can't just say the name and that it's good for them to check it our, and it takes time to get into its stride, so I need to almost undersell it so people push through the first few episodes and then get surprised by Contemporary American Poultry or something.
I heard about the show from an old stand-up Donald Glover did, and a few pockets of the internet raved about it before it joined Netflix (so long old friend), so no-one ever sold me on it before watching.
How do you recommend it to friends and how was it (if it was) recommended to you in the first place?
Today, April 30, 2024, was the last day that Community was available on all Streaming services other than Peacock due to the beginning of the production cycle of the long-awaited film in the series. So I decided to make this post as a tribute to the series.
I met the series of nonsense, through a GIF from the pen episode with Annie screaming, and then I watched the series for the first time and fell in love with Greendale, the characters, the atmosphere, everything; But apparently, just as Jeff learned from his friends, it's time to let her go.
A little while ago, I watched the last episode of the series,and with great sadness I come to write this post as a farewell. Temporary? Maybe who knows...
I am very grateful to everyone involved in the series, especially Dan Harmon for creating it, Joe McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Donald Glover, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie, Yvette Nicole, Jim Rash and Ken Jeong,as well as all the other actors involved in the series.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to read this humble tribute and we'll see you there, especially when news about the film comes out. I love you all.

After the storm troopers shoot Leonard, they say "Codger down!"
codg·er noun - DEROGATORY•INFORMAL an elderly man, especially one who is old-fashioned or eccentric. "old codgers always harp on about yesteryear"
What a perfect description for Leonard!
The Model UN episode for anyone unfamiliar with episode titles.
The A plot with the Model UN is fine. By Community standards I'd rank it at probably B tier. A few things I liked were Jeff's outburst of "You're acting like a little schoolgirl and not in a hot way!". His exit from the scene is something I now do in real life. The fart scene is a little cringe, but overall the plot is fine, and I send no shade that way.
HOWEVER, the undisputed GENIUS of Britta and Chang's "love" story is so damn funny. I was in pieces every time Lionel Richie came on. It works because at that point Britta needs someone to rebel against and Chang needs someone to exert his authority over; it's beat-for-beat like a romantic story, with the protagonists having a need only the other can fill.
Best of all, Sergeant Nunez's story about his old protestor not only fits the love story angle, it actually makes the whole thing really meaningful; he doesn't want to see more kids get beaten by real cops for doing stupid shit.
The final moment of "lovers reunion" is hilarious (though damn Gillian Jacobs proper phlegmed on Ken Cheong like that?!) and the whole plot line is horrifically underdiscussed. It's not just a awesome gag, but one of the biggest reasons I insist Community is the smartest comedy show ever made. I mean, who thinks of this stuff?
Also, the episode is so damn quotable, mainly the a plot but some from the Britta/Chang arc.
"Please [can I keep the handcuffs]? I SWEAR THEY'RE JUST FOR SEX!"
"Raging against the what? That sounds dangerous. - Don't worry, she'll be bad at it"
"CRISIS ALERT!"
"Is anyone seeing this, is the world seeing this? Are we Facebooking this?"
"You can't just mumble nonsense, no-one is cutting away"
"[On the UN] a fundamentally symbolic organisation founded on the principles of high-minded rhetoric and empty gestures"
Shirley!
It's a Body Snatchers-style musical about an alien invasion that turns everyone into characters in a musical!
I love the running joke about Greendale’s ignorance of Microsoft products.

I love that many small details in one part of an episode get tied in later in that episode. The callbacks that take longer to play out also reward us for watching closely, like the "ghosts can't go through doors, stupid" and "fire can't go through doors, stupid" quotes from Pierce/Chang.
A couple of details I just noticed in this watch through:
Pierce incites the Starburns wake kerfuffle by shouting "let's burn this mother down!" and Evil Jeff says the exact same thing when the Darkest Timeline team starts hunting for the study group at Jeff's graduation. I assume the implication is that things would have to be dark for Jeff to emulate Pierce in any way.
In the Meow Meow Beans episode, Annie reports to Level Five Shirley that a group of Twos broke into the cafeteria to steal peanut butter. Later, listening to Jeff's standup routine, I realized it was because the Twos were making an after school snack with all of their apples.
Have you discovered any new-to-you callbacks or details that the rest of us should know about?

My girlfriend's favorite TV series is obviously Community and I really want to make her a Prom Proposal sign that has to do with the paintball episodes of Community and I'm in need of her. If it helps, her name is Ciara. All help is thanked! I really would appreciate the help! :)))
Couples I'd like them to be on the movie:
