Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas is Beautiful

"What 'Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas' gets that very, very few Christmas specials or episodes have gotten in the history of the medium is the fact that, ultimately, this holiday, more than any other, is intensely personal."

StoryStreet 26:41, 5 months late but I just watched this episode and I felt so bad for Duncan. I hated how the group treated him because he was right. However, you’re video helped me put it into perspective. I feel I need to rewatch it again

[@cougarkids4978]

Can you pitch a community movie

[@hggfhh4449]

The belief Christmas was moved from spring to winter solstice is a wide believed myth there is no evidence this happened its just been repeated over and over. It could be true but there is no evidence. Irrelevant but Just saying. If there is evidence show me if you want who cares.

[@hggfhh4449]

@@cougarkids4978 ok so in season 6 there was a joke a ship (Troy's ship) was captured by pirates. What if that was Pierce's plan all along. In order to get on an island he was banned on he staged a fake pirate attack and now the media buzz because Lavar Burton is captured distracted the island government and now Pierce sneaks on the island. Pierce ELABORATELY faked his death just like in the darkest timeline to teach the group a lesson a lesson he forgot. Pierce's reason for getting on the island to find a long lost love. Whuch was the reason he went to Greendale in the first place but he forgot somewhere through he met her there or something. Anyway Shirley who spun off season six and her partner in solving crime are somehow on the case if the kidnapped Burton. After it turns out it was a fake ruse. Anyway Shirley figures out what was going on meets up with troy and Lavar. And now Pierce is on trial for piracy(Pirate) then a trial of some kind ensues. But for plot reasons the trial happens at Greendale community college. Reason the government wants nothing to do with Pierce and he ysed Greendale supplies for the fake pirate take over of Troy and Lavar and some people who work at Greendale were hired to pirate the ship that took over Troy's. So now Jeff is the Lawer and the Community crew return and the trial and it ends pierce's lover comes back Troy has purpose So does Shirley and she is back with Andra and Britta is something And Annie and Jeff? Dan will think of there endings. And all the Greendale characters are there Dean Magnitude fat neil and the rest. And abed films the trial.

[@ives6622]

She's right, but then uses it to fuel her own ideas which normally become worse extremes of the original problem. She thinks that pointing out the flaws of everything makes her a better person, but as we see in the show, it just makes everyone consider her to be shallow and self-righteous, which isn't always untrue.

One of my favourite moments in this Christmas special is towards the end when they’re sneaking the Christmas tree out of the cafeteria in the background. You see Shirley grabbing the menorah from the designated holiday zone for Annie!! It’s such a subtle moment but you can see how she’s changed from last year’s Christmas episode!!! Especially considering the episode where Abed is Jesus takes place earlier in the second season as well. We love character growth!!!!!!! ❤️

I rewatched the all of the Christmas episodes this year over the holiday peruod and noticed that too! Such a nice touch which does a lot for Shirley's character development

Before I was diagnosed on the spectrum, there was a christmas where my mom was just too busy to do any of our usual rituals and. I absolutely broke down. I was angry and confused and felt empty that our traditions that we always kept up even after our family fell apart were just...a part of the past now. I didn’t realize why it was hitting me so hard, just that I felt like the world was falling apart, had no meaning anymore. I feel for abed so strongly in this episode. The collapse of rituals and traditions can be world shattering for autistics to cope with.

I would honestly take an analysis of every episode of Community. (Except maybe that gas leak year) You continue to not only grasp the concepts that I love about this show but go a step further and really get down to how each character drives this great story forward.

But it's December 9th, she could go and be with Abed, bring the baby, so Abed could meet his sibling and be back at home by December 24th. Just because you are an adult you don't stop being someone's child. Because you have a new family you don't stop being someone's parents.

[@atinity6749]

@@miawylie3360 Well if you have a newborn baby, a new husband who probably has a really hectic schedule too, sometimes you can't just take up and leave. It's fucking nightmare organizing a family holiday that doesn't cost a lot of money and take fuck ton of preparation. What I don't understand is why she implied they'll never see each other during Christmas times, like I'd understand she couldn't make it work this year but why she automatically assumes it's never possible...? That's why I always assumed that she moved to Poland or somewhere really far away, that's the reason she can't hang out with abed anymore. Because what kind of mother just abandones their child if she's just few states away? I'd really like some backstory there. Did the show ever say WHERE Abed's mom went?

[@ChristineP223]

The letter also implies that Abed didn’t know she had remarried and/or had another kid. That’s a huge thing and not telling him about it makes her look really bad. I know that Abed’s psyche is unpredictable, but surely he could handle that change as long as it didn’t mean she was choosing someone else over him

[@thilypad557]

Abed did imply in the first season with the movie he made that he felt like his mom struggled with raising him and left because of him, having her then break the tradition adds even more insult to injury. I wonder if she chose not to go because she struggles so much with him.

When you're making a nearly 30 minute video on it, you really begin to notice how much love and detail went into every shot. One of my favorites is in the scene right after "designated holiday zones" where you can see someone comforting the person celebrating Hannakuh behind Abed. It's such a small, insignificant detail, but they still thought to put it in there even though it probably added even more work for the animators.

the emotion behind you voice in this video is blowing my mind especially towards the end, it really immerses the listener without even having to see a face behind the voice

the way he said "that's not f*cking fair" at 22:30 broke my heart because he's so right.
