r/community

So for some context I’m currently re-watching community for the 5th time or so and I swear I’m so in love with show.
Now I’m just pretty curious to know what do you guys thinks exactly is the reason behind this, I know it’s pretty subjective but what are some aspects that made you too fall in love with the show like me?

TL;DR
Why is this show so special to you?
I’m trying to figure myself, why do I like this show so much.

I'm a bit surprised that was never touched on or questioned. Unless everyone just assumes it was Abed?

So I was introduced to this sitcom by uhh...uhh... lord knows who I don't remember. Still on season one, just finished episode 24; I haven't checked out the series graph yet, but I have a feeling episode 23 is like everyone's favourite, cause for it was one of the best sitcom episodes I have ever seen. Anyway, give me some references that I would understand later on, and thank you for reading this.

This might be already mentioned but I love how many subtle references from older episodes are in this show. The latest one I caught on now after a billion rewatches is the one in s01 e09 where Troy asks Abed if he is going to cry again because he accidentally listens to Come Sail away by Styx. A cover of this song is used in s05 e05 when Troy actually leaves the school on a boat with LeVar Burton who would be the obvious reference everyone would catch on right away.
I just love how small details keep popping up while rewatching over and over again.

So im recently started re-watching community for the third time with a second goal in mind besides seeing peak TV.

I've chose to watch without subtitles as a non-english native to try to improve my hearing, and now i want to start two discussions about it in this sub reddit.

First thing, do you guys think community is a great show for intermediated/advanced english learners, almost every video that i watch on youtube are from english speaking creators and i usually have a great time watching without the need to recap parts of the videos. But i dont feel the same way watching this series, i see myself going back in some episode moments quite a lot, especially with some specific characters

And that is what i think is my most important question, why do i struggle so much with some character while other i have a sweet time.

i prepared a list starting from the easiest to the hardest character for me to understand without feeling the need to re watch the scene.

1- Duncan ( do any other portuguese speaking person feels that british is way easier to pronounce and to understand, i dont know why i feel that)

2- The dalmatian bald dude ( The way he talks is so smooth and on point, one of my favorite characters in comedy fiction )

3- Chang

4- Annie ( i dont recall any moments from chang and annie that i didn't understod them )

5- Cornelius

6- Jeff

8- Troy ( The moment jeff and troy starts to speak fast or words that i dont know, i struggle, but just a little

9- Hot blonde from spanish class

10- Perce ( Parciuo and the blond one have a strange way to talk, i dont know but it feels they are speaking inside themselves, like their voice just dont comes out sometimes )

11- Abed ( this is obvious, this guy just start to rap sometimes, but even when he isnt, i struggle to understand simples words, i also have the sensations that danny pudi was always the furthest guy to the mic, its very strange )

12- Shirley ( for me it looks like shirley created an specific dialect for talking in that tv show, the moment i see she's trying to speak i grab my remote control ready to rewatch her dialogue at least 4 times before giving up and switching on the subtitles )

if you guys could answer if there is any corelation beetween those characters and the ease of understanding them

Also sorry if my english writing is bad ( its my worst part by far ), im trying to improve everyday🙌🙌

Jeff told everyone to turn around and talked to them in their mind? Can someone explain what happened?

I am on my third rewatch and I have to say that season 2 ep 18 "Critical Film Studies" is the most underrated episode. Like it is so good. I got to know about the movie My Dinner with Andre through this episode and it proves that Community's references always hit. The conversation between Jeff and Abed is just so funny but still for some reason moving to me. Also I love how it was able to pay homage to 2 great movies and also create so many funny moments all in JUST 20 MINUTES!!!!! I know the paintball and chickenfinger episodes are amazing but this one is just for me.

I now understand why later seasons and stories paired them together. Their chemistry in the goofy outtakes and gag reels is unmatched, as well as just general behind-the-scenes type videos.

I mean I already love danny pudi in a lot of the post Community stuff he's done, from unappreciated shows like Powerless to heavily praised shows like Mythic Quest especially season 1. No longer constrained by being Abed, he is hilarious in those other shows.

And Alison Brie is of course great. But yeah I assumed that the younger cast members would be closer with each other, but didn't know just how much and the extra featurettes of Community really showcased that.

When Troy and Abed have their house warming party, what’s your favorite timeline?

I am a millennial and absolutely loved it, but haven't found a single person around me shared the affection. Instead found few ppl who tried and refused it. Though these people like other sitcoms like BBT and friends. I always recommend community of someone's looking for suggestion but absolutely no one liked community.

Hi, so I've been watching compilations of community on YouTube for months and finally decided to watch the show. I'm on episode 6 and I have been laughing uncontrollably for the past 5 minutes. It started when I saw the "human being". The build up, the anticipation, the ruined expectations. It's so funny. Jeff's reaction also helps. But really, it is brilliant. The timing was also perfect. I already loved Abed and Troy, but now I love the whole show. Absolutely hilarious. I literally had to call my ex (he did not answer) to stop laughing. Then when I tried again, I laughed for 2 more minutes and decided to find the sub reddit. I'm gonna add the pic of where it's paused. The only reason I might not finish this show is because I died laughing.

I'm on my nth rewatch and the first line that made me actually lose it was season 1, episode 11 when Troy says, "don't eat the crab dip, yay-yayee."

Currently watching s4e13, advanced introduction to finality, and Abed says "listen up people!" and that made me cackle.

What are your favorite, small lines that could go unnoticed that get you every time?
