I want that shirt Eric has on.

[@johncampbell756]

In TV, to clear a song, you contact the publisher. You pay the performing artist and the publisher, but they get to approve its use. The song Barbie Girl doesn't belong to Mattel, so only Aqua and the publishers needed to agree abd get paid.

[@Christoff070]

Aaron's expression at 7:01 after Chang's words was priceless

[@OffTheCuff444]

3:09 I love the way Eric starts saying "Oh no, they have Black Hitler" like it's the most normal thing in the world, only to catch himself in the ridiculousness of it all

[@TheRRP88]

The Black Hitler line always gets me and Britta’s “I can excuse racism…” and Shirleys response is the best

[@metin5408]

the air conditioning repair school, might genuinely be the best sub plot of the entire show

[@pandycious]

It was too absurd for me.

[@bendleson]

@@pandycious Fair enough we all have different opinions but everything in Community is absurd tbf

[@Keeperodd]

@@pandycious yeah, never found it that good/interesting, especially compared to the rest of the show.

[@18thealien]

It's my least favourite. I hate it.

[@erikpugh7028]

If only due to John Goodman's performance.

[@jpspectren8]

"The true Repair Man will repair Man" I can't wait for that line to show up.

[@dragontears]

I AM THE TRUEST REPAIR MAN!

"It's a Trade School. It's a two-year degree in boxes that make rooms cold."

[@vanguardduelist]

One joke that always gets me is when they put the bags over the other people who didn’t complete the air conditioners, even though they’re already wearing blindfolds.

[@ESJonas]

The actor, Larry Cedar, who plays Piece's father is actually 12 years younger than Chevy.

[@MrCoolAttitude]

I like how Pierce instantly embraces the gayness when it pays off economically, like rainbow month with real life companies.

[@pauloricardo-wn6ps]

that's basically what they state in the show, but they never say the gay crowd enjoying the embracement it's a bad thing, just point out the nature of it

[@kirbyteeth]

so true

[@bobbiwib]

I’d actually rather some faceless corporation have an incidental positive impact, than to see queer people dismiss Pride as “rainbow month” That sentence was confusing. But I stand by it

[@jagwolf8079]

"I think we all realize I got a lot to learn about copyright law" Reassuring words coming from the guy running a reaction channel for quite a good years.

[@peterlewis2178]

I mean, technically I'm pretty positive any kind of reaction, song cover, etc. is illegal under copyright law. Fair use is way more limited than people realize, and rarely would hold up in court. We're just protected from the enforcement of that because of platforms like KZbin. Copyright law is pretty terrible, it needs a massive rewrite, but I doubt it will ever get it.

[@swig_gigolo]

Funny you mentioned Pierce’s dad looked younger than Chevy because he actually is younger than Chevy.

[@AmazingChi]

*This* is the room. For some reason, that's my favourite punchline in the whole darn show.

[@micahhynson27]

It feels like a Rick and Morty joke. I love it.

[@danieln6700]

Yea I really liked this ep. The air conditioning thing was great

[@JustForTheTunes]

@@micahhynson27 I know I'm late but it reminds me exactly of the "true level" bit in rick and morty. I've got some problems with that show but that bit has stuck with me the same as the room temperature room

[@Plexippuspetersi92]

Of course it's not over. When you hire John Goodman, you put him in as many episodes as possible.

[@mrshadow4007]

This episode helps full a plothole with concrete: Previously Pierce's mom has said that Pierce's dad is dead, which Annie references, but it's actually just because Pierce's mom liked to pretend he was dead.

[@AmberAHue82]

Britta's misunderstanding of Oedipus is probably my favorite joke in this episode. Also, shoutout to Shangela!

[@erikpugh7028]

"Incredible, invisible, IN-believable things...Where an unseen, unknown, UN-vincible fraternity of craftsman..." I fucking love the show - and it's only elevated by actors, like John Goodman, embracing it.

[@mamaslillele]

Mattel tried to sue Aqua over their song "Barbie Girl" and The judge awarded in favour of Aqua, literally saying "The parties are advised to chill"😂

[@DeeJayObi]

Yup. And then years later, at least here in Czechia, Mattel used the song melody in the regular advertisement.

[@pegusus12346]

@@DeeJayObi Which is kinda fucked up when you actually pay attention to the lyrics and realize it's about a woman so obsessed with love that she lets her boyfriend treat her like a sex doll.

[@Impacatus]

@@pegusus12346 The version that Mattel uses has different lyrics, though. At least the one I've heard.

[@DizRupTnz]

"Can't make watching the TV your job" That _has_ to be ironic right?

[@HectorTWE]

There's an outtake for the scene at the funeral where Donald is basically directing Alison shitting her pants and she can only react using her face and it's really effing hilarious

[@angelagraves865]

"Incredible, invisible, inbelievable things, where an unseen, unknown, unvincible fraternity of craftsmen..."

[@joevictor53]

Pierce's dad's actor is 12 years younger than Chevy Chase. Also I'm disappointed they didn't pick up on the KFC connection from last season

[@amurderofbananas7449]

It's almost like Eric KNOWS that a new business is coming to the cafeteria! I can't wait to see his reaction when it does.

[@mconnaghan]

The question isn't WHY is there such a successful branch of the air conditioning repair education taking place at Greendale, but WHEN is there such a successful branch of the air conditioning repair education taking place at Greendale.

[@neabby]

That reaction to the black hitler bit gave me Korean Jesus vibes from when they reacted to 21 Jump Street 😂😂

[@WTDProductions]

I just rewatched the Korean Jesus reaction earlier today and now this lmao

[@shortstuff780]

I love the Air Conditioning Repair School Annex a lot. Easily my favorite story arc. Goodman is fantastic. Love the AC vs Janitors lol

[@jackflash8218]

Pretty sure the "Black Hitler" thing came from Joel McHale. When he hosted The Soup, they showed some reality show that featured some Black security guard that had what can only be described as a "Hitler mustache", causing McHale to refer to the guy as "Black Hitler" or "Blitler". Joel might have fed that to Dan Harmon, but I could be wrong.

[@rparstar]

This episode is just amazing joke after amazing joke. So good. Pierce’s dad talking to Britta: “You’re basically Finn.” It’s just so funny to me.

[@dk240996]

The outtake from this end episode tag is one of my favorites. Abed is acting a goof, and Donald Glover breaks character asking Abed/Danny Pudi "how do you get so much ass?" with such incredulity in his voice, I love it.

[@noahgoulet4771]

i was just about to comment this lmao

[@c.decker3046]

3:39 It's okay, you can watch Annie in a cone bra many times in Mad Men lol

[@HectorTWE]

Trudy's the best

[@shortstuff780]

Hmm... So you're telling me I have to watch Mad Men? Okay then

[@waywardwatcher2053]

In the KFC space shuttle episode the 8-bit colonel the Pierce attacks shares a striking resemblance to his father. I think they made Cornelius look like that to make this connection

[@MikeJF85]

They did post the full Pocket Full of Hawthorns video online - it's only 30s but it's more than the show.

[@sang1342]

An annex of Greendale community college houses the world atomic clock of room temperature. Just a perfect storyline

[@arwyss]

Is the annex near the stables?

[@misti-step]

jeffs delivery of "not mine, dummy" knocks me out everytime lmao

[@dragontears]

Neeeext week! Love this one but next week is pretty high up on my list. Looking forward to it. God season three was just gold after gold after gold.

[@Narutoanime16g]

Troy is the chosen one of air conditioners ! Them taking it so seriously makes it funnier lol & Abed actor is so good

[@55meds]

Now I have my own conspiracy theory that they filmed this almost a month ago since Alex Jones turned 49 on Feb 11th and Eric said he was 48 lol

[@texting7856]

AC plot goes in direction no one expects lol. Can't wait for you all to see it

[@Sephalia]

Nooo I'm caught up in the series! I've really enjoyed binging this, glad you're watching and having fun with it!

[@JITCompilation]

If I recall, copyright law only works if someone tries to create the same product in the same “subgroup” of products. For example, someone can’t create a new app called “Facebook” BUT someone could easily create “Facebook dish soap”. However, most companies don’t do that because it would be confusing to customers. So I believe you could easily create an original song about a brand of wet wipes. But someone should correct me if I’m wrong.

[@tetsuoshima9682]

I love this episode so much, the subplot is my absolute favorite! Been waiting on this one, great reaction crew!

[@PaintedHoundie]

5:48 i love this joke so much because that transition was so abrupt and immediate

[@kenneth9160]

Can you make a song that mentions a product? The Kinks- Lola mentions “Coca Cola… c-o-l-a cola.” PWEI- Def Con One has a chorus of “Big Mac, fries to go. Gimme Big Mac fries to go, gimme Big Mac Fries to go. Gimme Big Mac Gimme fries to go.”

[@thobat14]

They need to watch all the bloopers for this show after they finish! It’s to good not to see.

[@Luke-cu7bf]

they should watch the pandemic KZbin table read

[@Jonno92100]

Pierce's dad showing up was always a curious plot point to me because they had a line in a previous episode where Pierce's mom told him that she'd "seen his father's ghost again" implying he was already dead.

[@aozf05]

They do retcon this when Pierce says his mom liked to pretend his father was dead

[@snerdterguson]

There's lots of songs about specific cars like the GTO, Woody. There's Little Red Corvette by Prince. Neil Young had a song, can't recall the name, with the line "ain't singin for Pepsi, ain't singin for Coke" Though I don't know what if any legal action resulted.

[@lewisburridge2331]

The Fast Food Song from 2003 is almost entirely Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonalds. It reached number 2 in the UK charts and number 1 in Scotland specifically. So you must be able to release music about brands

[@cheekyboomboom8973]

Haha you guys are right, the actor playing Pierce's dad is actually like 10+ years younger than Chevy.

[@PPfilmemacher]

19:09 actually, they really did! here an short excerpt from a in 1997 published article by the Rolling Stone Magazine: „Mattel Inc. has filed suit against MCA Records Inc. and Universal Music & Video Distribution Inc. for trademark infringement and dilution resulting from the alleged unauthorized use of the toy manufacturer's Barbie doll trademarks and likeness in the hit song "Barbie Girl" by Danish pop group“ But later in the same year the case got dismissed bye the supreme court.

[@seebee925]

I like that song. The wipes have such good vibes!

[@jeremyscottgraham]

This is one of my favorite outro’s because it’s the perfect representation of jocks that are nerds at heart. Could be Warhammering one second, then attempting to spit game the next.

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

"This isn't over Troy Barnes."

[@keisha2120]

Do you guys know I watch your community react episodes multiple times in wait for the next episode? I just cant wait for the next one

[@tabularasaconfirmed]

Okay but I’m so excited for the slight set up of one of my favorite episodes 3x20!

[@apatternedhorizon]

Can't wait until the video game episode.

[@Min-xh8ho]

This video is old by now but some fun facts: the drag queen in this episode is Shangela who’s a legend in the drag world and a rupauls drag race alumnus, it’s cool to see her and Joel McHale in the same episode because he went on to be a guest judge on season 11 of rupauls drag race and before that he was part of a series on KZbin recapping pop culture news and reality television, where he would always recap rupauls drag race :)

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

*"Look at me now dad!"*

[@stinwav222]

"I like football, but also, I don't..."

[@lonelybanshee8593]

Funnily enough, Larry Cedar (who plays Pierce's dad) is younger than Chevy. Also, this was where the showrunners started having real issues with Chevy, because Chevy "has issues with the name Cornelius."

[@sunmayttv]

9:52 - I know Blind Wave doesn't react to KZbinrs, but judging from how into the "JFK Assassination Conspiracy" Aaron was, I think it'd be cool to see you guys react to Wendigoon's "I Solved the JFK Conspiracy with a Whiteboard." Maybe you guys should have a side channel just reacting to KZbin videos!

[@thelastchannelsurffersthel5544]

For more details on The JFK thing, there's a book on it Called mortal error by Bonar Menninger outlining a theory by sharpshooter, gunsmith, and ballistics expert Howard Donahue

[@vincentalvarado7058]

My favourite part of these reactions is seeing that Eric has the same sense of humour as me LOL

[@mynamedontmatter4796]

the actor playing pierce's father is actually younger than chevy chase

[@Hrolfgard]

Eric's laugh at Black Hitler has gotta be up there in the top 10 Noises Eric Has Made

[@snerdterguson]

So happy we are at the point where they meet the Abed of racism.

[@daryl772003]

Chevy Chase used to open up weekend update with "I'm Chevy Chase and you're not" his line "you're dead and I'm not" might be a callback to that

[@ItsShaz1]

Loved the reaction guys

[@Leviahthon]

1:22 and up is such a good cut lol

[@alextaylor523]

When I see John Goodman I think of speed racer. You guys should watch it if you haven’t

[@theoriginalspur]

Finally. The Abed of racism has arrived. What y'all know about that follicular purity 😂😂😂 but the priest telling Britta, "You're the worst" is just hilarious😂

[@TheSandersd84]

"I really like when they were being each other" Me: *flicks light switch on and off quickly Light switch check

[@neivilde.1242]

sometimes "pocket full of hawthornes" just pops up in my head for no reason. and i quote the "i can excuse racism but i draw the line at animal cruelty" line daily

[@BigCMiner]

The writing is so good this episode, little things like the list at 4:30 where he gets the word prefixes the wrong way round Inbelievable, Unvincible

[@anthonyl2856]

I am episode 3x6 of community

[@danieln6700]

This ep and the video game one coming up are great

[@sem1conscious]

Inspector Spacetime is spoofing Dr. Who but I also see a lot of resemblance with Sherlock Holmes and Watson played by Data and Geordi La Forge in Star Trek. Which makes the timing of this reaction kinda coincidental.

[@MikeOfTanith]

Legal Eagle!! That's a blast from the past.

[@VivekBoseShree]

10:00 this is the way Jones operates. The "frogs being gay cuz of water" has actual scientific backing, but then he adds all of this other nonsense on top and rides on that wave of "credibility".

[@MaxMustermann-hy9in]

I'm sorry but what scientific backing does the gay frogs thing have?

[@erikpugh7028]

RE: Fan Product Songs While I'm definitely not a lawyer or legal expert, I have a hard time believing a company could successfully go after someone who wrote a song about their product - as long as they: 1) Make it clear it's unofficial and unsponsored 2) Don't include lyrics that could be considered libel and 3) Does not make use of specific jingles or iconic sounds And even then, I'm not sure they'd be successful in challenging it. Though, that doesn't mean they wouldn't attempt to intimidate someone via legal threats

[@analcommando1124]

Mattel tried suing Aqua's record company in the US and failed. Dont know if Mattel tried suing them in other countries that don't have a 1st amendment equivalent. There could be a difference with pocket full of Hawthorne's in that the actual product is shown, referenced and used in the video clip. In Barbie Girl's video there is no actual Barbie dolls or Mattel products shown nor are there any references to doing anything with a Barbie doll ... like shoving them down your pants.

since Alex Jones is mentioned a couple times it’s obligatory to recommend the Jones-debunking podcast Knowledge Fight or else the dolphins with sad human eyes will get you. Praise Celine.

[@cupcakesimulation]

The Hawthorn Wipes song was an ad for the wipes as paid for by Pierce. He was surprised that the lady he had hired to perform for it was a man. So no copyright laws violated. Edit: I realize my mistake and I have severely misremembered. It's been a hot minute since I've last seen this show. Not even sure how I came out with that assumption.

[@joevictor53]

Where did you get that from? I always believed it to be a viral video based on Hawthorne Wipes

[@cupcakesimulation]

@@joevictor53 You're right, that's my mistake. I think in my first watching of it that's what I assumed for whatever diologue reasons (you know how you watch something as a kid and completely misremember something when you watch it for the first time as an adult) and going back to specifically listen I realize my mistake.

YMCA and Barbie Girl are examples of brand names without permission.

[@milesparker557]

I'm pretty sure the whole Hawthorne Wipes thing is a trademark issue, not a copyright issue, so fair use is irrelevant. And regarding the word Kleenex being used to refer generally to tissues, brand don't actually like that since it weakens the power of their trademark. It's why Google doesn't like people using the word google to mean look-up or why the Xerox people don't want people using the word xerox to mean photocopy.
