Community [US] **SPOILERS**

Basq

Firstly.. how old did Drew Carey look as Jeff's boss?! :eek: And Rob Corddry was a bit wasted!

But secondly.. how funny was that chloroform scene? Not to mention Abed and Troy staring at Annie's chest and Troy saying all he heard was the word "suck"

Great stuff as usual!

It's terrible that this is doing so poor in the ratings!

Kiith

Excellent episode as usual. Some excellent scenes, especially the chloroform scene. I'm loving Chang this season as well, with his Golum/Evil laugh moments.

If this gets cancelled, it would be acrying shame. I don't understand how more people aren't watching it. It would be yet another example of how stupid people decide what gets renewed.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

The humour is far too intelligent for your average US tv viewer unfortunately, which is why more people aren't watching, and its a crying shame.
As mentioned the chloroform scene was beyond genius and its about time they started paying more attention to Annie's boobs.
Annie is far more attractive than Brita anyway.

Drew Carey was he wearing make up? to add to the old wierd law firm owner the noise of the handshakes was worth it.

He's had some great lines so far.

Why is the only recent thread on this show about the latest American series?

The first series is on TV3 at the mo, and is pure brilliance. For those of us who can't be bothered to download the absolutely up to the minute, hot-off-the-presses episode the current series is great stuff. Set in a community college somewhere in middle america, sharp, sharp dialogue, pop culture references, likeable characters, Chevy Chase, the insane gynaecologist from Knocked Up as an insane Spanish professor, a few cute girls, how can this be the first post about this in five months? Watch it people, do yourselves a favour. (Oh yeah, and cameos last week from Jack Black and one of the Wilson brothers, what's not to like?)

(The scene in the last ep with Jeff and Abed doing The Breakfast Club was priceless, as is everything with the film-obssessed Abed in, as well as Señor Chang)

Not sure why this is confusing. I was simply wondering why this show is only really being discussed on this forum by those downloading the latest series, when it is being shown on good old terrestrial tv here, and presumably being watched by a greater number of people than are downloading. Where are those viewers who are watching on an old fashioned tv screen? It's funny stuff, and should be talked about...

Maybe there are more people watching it on old-fashioned TV but those people are probably less likely to discuss it on the internet.

Are TV3 showing it?


Didn't know that, I might rewatch season 1

Apologies, it's not TV3, it's on 3e.

Oh yeah I saw that, it got moved to some crappy slot past midnight to accommodate reruns of the X Factor or something :rolleyes:

Basq

This, along with Modern Family, is the finest new comedy out of the US last year!

Basq

Still makes me laugh heartily..

Episode 4 was weird but kind of funny at the same time. The KFC thing went totally over my head tbh. But I still enjoyed it. I like when they parody films and genres.

Great episode again!

"Is this anesthesiology?"
"....Yes! (Go with me on this)"

Also: Annie's boobs, holy crap they're amazing.

Kiith

"We are 40 light years outside the buttermilk nebula...although it is possible...ya, it's a sticker"

Fantastic espisode.

Basq

Was very funny.. the Buttermik Nebula line was a stroke of genius!

There was definitely something in the episode that reminded me of "Space Camp" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091993/

And a nice sly Goatse reference.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Another fantastic episode. The slow motion walking was great.

expectationlost

i wonder if entire shows are going to be based around products, could they get the sponsor first and then they write, the HIMYM could have been we need to write a show with bing in it, although a show about racing through a busy city was a plausible story, as was the kfc space bus

ronano

I'm really enjoying the season so far and think its better than the first,i loved the chloroform scene

Possibly, but the intro was taken from the right stuff.


Great episode.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

rewatching the first series at the moment. Only the first two episodes are a bit weak, everything else is fantastic. Also a lot of subtle jokes in there that you can miss the first time around.

FreudianSlippers

I just love Joel McHale. I watch The Soup every week and he just has great facial expressions in both this show and The Soup. I expect him to be huge (films etc.)

KeanSeenan

I like him in this, but I was skeptical of him as he played Roy in the remake of The IT Crowd for America..

D-Generate

Quality episode. I haven't seen product placement handled this well since the Burger King episode of Arrested Development.

FreudianSlippers

lol what a good episode. Abed looks pretty good with long hair!

Loved the Britta & Jeff being the parents thing especially when Jeff is reading the paper and realises he's acting like a parent.

I like Joel McHale, but the episodes where he plays a smaller role are also great - it shows how strong the writing and acting is on the show!

chalkitdown1

I thought it was terrible this week. Probably my least favourite episode of the show. Shirley is not funny in any way whatsoever, so an episode centered around her is going to be almost completely devoid of humour. She's the only weak link in the cast, she's like the Lisa Simpson of Community, basically. And her voice irritates the hell out of me.

KeanSeenan

I think they use the 'that's nice' and christian thing as a bit of a crutch with her, but I didn't think it was bad this week.

Basq

Yep, not a great episode this week.

Although did like the end with the black shirts.
