Taking a background pop that tons of successful movies and shows have been using for decades, and sponsoring it?

This actually happens 3 times in the series beginning with Changs talking about doing the dirty "everywhere" in the study room, then with Annie and "everything" like we saw in the video, then with I believe it was Shirley in the textbook cartel episode with "everybody" This show I rank above every other Sitcom for these little easter eggs all throughout the writing. At the end of Season 3, Chang says something like "fires cant go through doors, they're not ghosts" and then halfway through the next season when Pierce locked himself in his safe room he says to the group "ghosts can't go through doors, they're not fire." Bits like these are just next level for sitcoms. Community goated

[@davedavis2132]

the show is so well written that they could mention a small detail once in the first season and it would come back in the 5th or 6th. Like Pierce's hyper-virile sperm, he mentions that he has hyper-virile sperm in season 1 episode 2 and the only other time I think it is referenced again is when everyone is given his sperm again in the polygraph episode in season 5. or the 'return of the ass crack bandit' after he had already once terrorised the school in s2 (mentioned in s2 in one line).

i love that quote from dan. “they’re allowed to have seen the movies you’ve seen.” and now that i’ve heard that, he’s completely right - it does feel like shows often pick and choose what other media exists in their version of reality. shows often make their characters so blatantly unaware of something that is so famously similar in pop culture that it’s annoying, or the “joke” (if you can call it that) is the reference itself and everyone else not getting it. and that’s a big part of why community is so special - because abed exists, both as a character in himself and as a fellow audience member, and points out what any average person would say about their current situation if it even tangentially resembled a pop culture moment. all of the characters call out the references at points, because all human social behavior is heavily impacted by society’s collective knowledge and how we wield it; how we shape ourselves in its image, or in the contrary of its image, or slightly to the left of its image. how we move through life is all a reference to what we have learned and experienced, and media is a HUGE part of that. average creators think of their work as wholly unique, but the best creators recognize and credit their influences, using that reference as a jumping off point for something new. TLDR; great video, great editing. bless dan harmon and the fact that, as the dean would say, the shape of his brain is a little fucked up.

@@nunpuiisingson298 hello! "Floored" is basically just a synonym for "shocked." It means I was very surprised. It can be good or bad based on the context, and in my case I thought it was cool to experience such a coincidence. Hope this helped!

[@jakey........]

The music really ties this whole piece together and makes it more than a simple "top community movie references" post. This is art

[@stormingstormer360]

What’s the song?

[@licensetoshred]

Fucking A. Made me slightly emotional for some reason.

[@sokiel6663]

For me the song was the only bad thing about this video =D

[@-squishyskies-]

The shot of Troy shouting "Go Abed! Go!" Is similar to that of Forrest Gump when Jenny shouted "Run Forrest! Run!"

Awesome, just awesome. That side by side Captain America/Dean was one of my favorites, but man, you did an exquisite job with this video! Long live Community!

[@JhadeSagrav]

This video is a bloody work of art. The sheer dedication to find all the references.... amazing.

[@EmuviesMayonnaiseMaster]

The way you edited all of this together added a whole new layer of greatness to it. Thank you for the effort, loved every second of it

[@insulinman14]

Awesome. The only thing I would have liked is maybe a small caption in the corner for which movie was being referenced.

How does someone not recognize every one of these movies?

[@crouchingturtle6351]

If you don't know the movies then the show probably wasn't enjoyable. It is a very "wink, wink" kind of show. Not many others like it

[@thorisy8533]

I just discovered a potential reference I believe. In "Ladders" from S601 when the Ladder professor falls on Annie and she comes out in stretcher and tells Jeff "It was worth it." It's extremely similar to a scene in "Cheaper by the Dozen" when the dad falls on the neighbors kid and causes a very similar injury and it also cuts away right after to the kid being transported in a stretcher and he said "It was my best birthday ever coach". Not the same line but the similarity is a lot.

[@wavehellhole]

god this show was so so so good. i hope we get a movie one day.

Wow, you have done a most excellent job! I really enjoyed this video! Community is one of my most favorite shows ever!

[@Debonair.Aristocrat]

@@yaronbaruch Also, if you don't mind another: Season 2, Epidemiology. About fifteen minutes in, when Jeff gets killed by the zombies, is a reference to "Day of the Dead" (1985), when Rhodes gets killed by the zombies.

[@bees7604]

Really good editing, usually I don't like when there's background music over the scene but not only did you balance the audios perfectly they fit so well with the themes and vibes that changing anything would make it worse.

[@angelinebena9675]

Community just becomes one of my favorite shows ever. I love it so much and it’s so brilliant. Thank you for making this video as well I didn’t catch many of them

[@dotdotman3924]

watching the dean take on 5 dudes while Creep is playing the background was something i didn't know i needed, thank you

[@ThatGooner]

So, so good. Loved how they even matched the opening shots of 'My Dinner with Andre' with him walking down the street and narrating over it.

[@mistersydster]

It's like a thirteen minute version of that scene from E.T. where E.T. is watching TV and Elliott ends up acting out the romantic scene, except Dan Harmon is E.T., Elliott is the entire cast of Community and I'm the girl getting kissed.

[@mane908]

Me and my 15-year-old son just finished watching the complete series, he introduced me to Community and I know I will never get over it, like, I literally cried when we were done with the last episode. I am probably years late watching it for a first time but I am sure this is one of the best series ever. Also, I loved this video!!! We really appreciate the good work! Hugs from Punta Arenas, Chile.

[@yaronbaruch]

Thank you for watching, would love to visit Chile someday.

[@FormerBunsenBurner]

I love the way this is edited- the way the music from one scene becomes the background music for the video, and the way the clips are grouped to fit the mood of the song. I especially love how, in the Tears in Rain clip, the music is cut-off in a sort of record-scratch gag when Garret says "...What?", and then it uses the break in the music to go straight to the Patton/Chang scene with the bugle and all.

[@Gwennan]

This is strangely beautiful

[@arunk-vc]

Everytime I watch this video, it is an transcendental experience. It simultaneously highlights how awesomely referential Community was (we all knew it when we saw those scenes even if we didn't know the exact references), how it is realistic to real life as Dan says (we reference awesome movie and TV scenes in real life with our friends), and last but not least how fan involvement and efforts such as this highlights great scenes and easter eggs from movies and TV, improving the enjoyment for other fans. Kudos, fellow human being. 👏👏

[@yaronbaruch]

Thank you!

[@findtheninja]

I'm so happy this is getting so much traction. A genuinely awe inspiring job of editing on display- you could 100% out this on your resume.

[@Lockn3s5]

This was a pretty simple edit. It's just literally putting the scenes side by side together. The most difficult part of this edit is getting all the footage together

[@MrFiremagnet]

This is a great edit. I enjoyed it despite watching every single scene in this show for bazillion times. Music timings especially. The flaw of this videos was flawless, even though you could've just put one scene next to another and call it a day. It's almost like this video tells its own story.

[@rebelske]

I love how there's so many references in there so that every person will at least recognize one reference!

[@ergosteur]

Amazing edit!! The music choices and changes worked well. So many of these I didn't know, or didn't know the full extent of.

[@stephieirene1]

I am willing to say that Dan Harmon is a genius, but more than that: Community was magic in a bottle. Even the Chevy Chase episodes because when he was playing along, he was brilliant too.

You only forgot the jumping cat from ALIEN... and when Abed saved Hilda in his USB, which is straight out of TRON LEGACY

The jump scare cat is from every other thriller ever made. By having the cat do it over and over again Community is pointing out how stupid this cliche is.
