fun fact, nbc told dan harmon that he had to make cheaper episodes, so he made one just out of pictures and it still turned out to be a total banger

[@wickedshadesproductions5254]

he knows how to improvise

[@danduhlion]

And also just as expensive but keeping the costumes, stage set, hands, and making it a two-parter helped to cut costs down.

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

Fun fact: it's just called budget cuts. They had their budget cut every year. It's why the filming style changed from S1 to S2. It's a loved show now but when it was airing it was on the cancellation bubble after every season until yahoo bought it.

[@JadesterZ]

Did y'all miss that Leonard fought for the north korean army???

[@MrUndersolo]

I saw that!

[@Karthos1000]

I caught that too, but it looks like the group missed it.

“Does anybody go to classes?!”

[@iamthemetalgod]

Throughout the seasons we see that Jeff is pretty much and adult Abed, and besides Troy he is the one who understands him the most, specially when it comes to movie references since they both spent their childhoods raising themselves on tv.

[@RevanBC]

This is probly the most rewatchable Community episode of all time. The detail in the writing is amazing :)

[@TheLastArkham]

I Love how Dan Harmon is depicted in the painting of the guy looking for a fountain to cure siphilis

War, War never Chang/es.

[@DannyTanimoto]

"COME HERE YOU LITTLE FUCKING BASTARDS" kills me every fucking time. Its gotta be the funniest thing Pierce says in the entire show

[@LadyVenomWay]

Chang has recruited a team of pre-teen security interns while moonlighting at a local barmitzvah. They were later nicknamed the Changlourious Bastards. Like Inglourious Bastards but with 'Chang' instead of 'in'. I don't get it either. Hahahahahahah This show, I swear XD

My Favourite episode of Community.

[@lukass9593]

Mine too

[@rain6957]

Its between this and The Floor is Lava one for me.

[@franzsanders9573]

My personal favorite is probably either "Remedial Chaos Theory" or "Modern Warfare," but this episode is still *really* damn high up on my list of the best episodes of Community.

[@MrUndersolo]

Watch “The Civil War”, “Baseball”, “Mark Twain” and “The Vietnam War” - Ken Burns is brilliant at this, and this is perfectly done!

[@DiegoGarcia-px7xm]

And Band of Brothers lmao 🤣

[@Samwise-tx7ub]

One of my Favorite eps of any show of all times!! Based on Ken Burns "Civil War" narrated by Kieth David who worked with Ken Burns on several films was awesome!! Can't wait until you get to episode 17 (another one of my favorites).

[@TheBakuganmaster99]

Thats amazing, keith david has been everywhere. Sad that most people don't know who he is.

[@rafaelreyes1732]

Almost every line in this one is a joke. Suraj, you should rewatch this on your own. There are a ton of hidden jokes. Take a close look at "English Memorial" for example

This is probably my second favorite episode behind the conspiracy theory one (which coincidentally saw the debut of the blanket fort). Such a masterfully done parody.

Keith David ends up joining the show in later seasons.

[@inticoastal]

the fact that makes this documentary more legitimate because he is canon to the show...*chef kiss*

[@rain6957]

They did a somewhat in-depth behind the scenes on this episode, that's worth watching. Tristram Shapeero really is so good.

[@HectorTWE]

Alison Brie's rap at the end is streets ahead

Omg I forgot about this gem!! The historical documentary parody was on point! 🤣🤣🙌🏽

[@lianggao8378]

The voice effect when Troy gave speech,LOL

[@ProQuo360]

One of my personal favorite things about this episode is that the Derrick Comedy crew are in this episode. If you’ve never seen their work, it’s the start of how Donald became known as a writer/actor.

[@RCTPatriot75]

John Goodman hit legendary status when The Big Lebowski came out.

[@got2bjosh]

Shame Pat missed this must watch episode. They manage to tell so much story in 20 minutes.

[@brewdaly1873]

I think this might be my favorite episode of the series. The Law & Order and a video game ones are strong contenders. But it's a tough competition across the first 3 seasons especially.

[@yagmurc922]

greatest episode ever along with remedial chaos theory

[@TragicKing]

Where is Pat?!

Hello, I just discovered this channel yesterday and am working my way through you guys watching Community (one of my favorite shows)... I love what you guys do... Thank you very much!

[@OPP3RBIEEST]

[@neabby]

Wasn't this when they had it pretty bad with money so that's why they basically used still images through out most of the episode?

[@guthri1800]

[@Sagitarria]

The Civil War series was narrated by David McCullough

[@jonahdube9033]

Do more skits! We love skits. :D

[@jpetersgoyanks]

All the early photos are just photos without film cameras so they could save money. They used to shoot some episodes like this and the bottle episodes in 3-4 days and save the money and time for other more expensive episodes. Season 3-6 are done on a tight budget.

[@sidmarhatta9891]

WHERE THE FUCK IS MICKEY

[@joeray661]

I can't wait for season 4 reactions... You guys need to kickpunch the shit out of that season. Me and my friends still get together every now and then to watch season 4 just so we can make fun of it. The season is basically a parody of itself

[@havingaparty21]

My ranking of the seasons: 3, 5, 1, 2, 6............................ 4

[@SCharlesDennicon]

The fifth season, better than the season that brought us Epidemiology, Cooperative calligraphy, Conspiracy Theories, Abed's Christmas, Advanced D&D, Intermediate documentary film making, and A Fistful of paintballs... ? Right...

[@havingaparty21]

SCharlesDennicon Good point. I think a lot of my feelings towards 5 was gratitude to have Harmon back.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

@@havingaparty21 I get that. Season 5 was very uneven, but it was still a blast compared to that dreadful mess that was season 4 (I watched it for the actors and their characters... ok, especially for Brie). But if we try to be a bit objective here (I said "try" !), season 2 has got to be the best. And Brie wears skirts, in it. Her pants-only policy starting s05 annoyed me. :D

[@araani8740]

This was filmed months in advance

[@SCharlesDennicon]

It's a fun episode, but it's yet another that whispered in my ear that Community was losing its mojo. It's fun, but rarely truly hilarious, probably because it's too busy being meta ; it's full of great little ideas, but the premise isn't that great, like at all (the dispute between Troy and Abed doesn't make much sense, there is no "emotional" build-up, most of the main characters are underutilized...). So, yes, it's a cool episode, but it doesn't hold a candle to the paintball episodes, that are waaaay more inspired on pretty much every level (starting with the directing).

[@bloergk]

Oh so lesbianism is just "a choice" to you eh? Just some random whim, rather than a profound personal feeling of attraction that you can't really control? To be fair, even if it were true that doesn't mean it should be rejected by society but still, thinking that way gives an argument to some weird traditionalists who believe that if it's a choice then it should be discouraged and shunned and even "punished". Might as well be technically correct (since pretty much no LGBTQ people actually choose their sexual orientation/identification) AND force those peculiar conservatives to think a bit more about this societal trend rather than just being like "it's just some whim, so I'm justified in my distrust and disdain of queers".
