"You'll have to excuse my partner. He's been on edge since we've switched." Is the FUNNIEST line of the entire series.

[@SceneWins]

An impossible task IMO, but a worthy challenger for the spot ❤

[@HandsomeLongshanks]

Idk, "yes I can! It's all terrain, dummy" is my personal favorite

[@samanthagiraffe3088]

"Need I remind you this is not a courtroom" is probably one of my favourite jokes from the entire show, something about it hits super well

[@nategwright]

Every time I get to that point in the episode I forget it’s not a real cop show.

The great thing about these homage episodes aren't homages just for a gimmick. They facilitate one of several things: Character relationship growth and/or analysis, character growth/analysis, and characterization.

[@Alchemax]

Yes, what I love about community is how these episodes are fluff they are just something fun, they're more than just fun they build upon the characters and develop them.

[@Paupinobo13]

They don't make parodies they make homages

[@Alchemax]

That's what I love the most about community, it's not trying to be something it's not.

[@garrettrice4885]

Absolutely.

[@garrettrice4885]

Community is home to everyone. “You’re already accepted.”

SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE

[@BrowncoatInABox]

Supposedly filming next year!

[@alexfrerck6779]

I love the homages and parodies because they take the subject really serious and actually do a good job of pleasing the fan base of the subject, like dnd or law and order etc.

[@Tyoxy]

Such an underrated show

“I’m sorry about my partner. He’s been on edge ever since we switched” is by are one of my favourite lines from this show

[@MaiaCVideos]

Really great take on Community, and great points about the genre filmmaking in the Office/Brooklyn 99!

[@RafaRodriguezDobleR]

Well, the russo's brothers being hired in the mcu for their work in community is more a fact than a thought.

[@FaustinaFalcon8]

Great explanation of why Community is the best show ever. This is what I try to say when I explain to people what's so great about it, but this video does it way more articulately. I'll definitely be showing this to people I'm introducing to the show!

[@ish202]

I keep finding more and more ways to fall in love with Community :)

[@Alchemax]

facts, it just gets better and better over time

Community is the only show that ever had a shoe Halloween special and it's still cannon

[@bakingwithme9986]

I was surprised to see no follow up video yet because of how well executed this one is, I’ve never seen someone put all these insights together in an analysis video so well. Thank you so much for this

[@timelapsega]

I dont think there will ever be a more amazing block of comedies than Community, The Office, 30 Rock and Parks and Rec back to back.

community is so meta that it makes meta meta and i will stand by that for the rest of my life

Im genuinely confused why this video doesn't have more appreciation this was so obviously thought out and took a long time to make, either way its awesome

[@Alchemax]

haha thank you so much!

[@danzgalliwag]

just about to finish my third watch of the show. for as amazing as these eps are, you could have picked just about any four episodes from the golden era and dove just as deep. every show from the middle of season 1 through season 3 is, as you eluded to, a world of its own. this vid deserves more views.

[@harperhale-gibson1102]

yooo why has nobody seen this? it's very good??? (referring to the video not the show, although it applies to the show too)

[@Alchemax]

thanks so much! I'm pretty happy about how big this video got considering how small my channel is.

nice to see more community video essay, please do more.

So glad this randomly popped up in recommended. amazing 10/10

[@Alchemax]

thank you so much! If you liked it consider dropping a sub because I have another video like this on it's way.

[@Spamhard]

Great video! Community is still one of my all time favourite shows! I think my one small issue with it is I always feel like I've got to explain to people unfamiliar with the show to give it a chance, because imo early s1 has it's moments, but is relatively formulaic in it's sitcom genre. It plays a bit with tropes and homages early on, but doesn't really start to embrace all that until really late into s1. When I first ever watched the show, I wasn't really captured by it until the chicken fingers episode, which I think was the major turning point for the series as a whole. I think rewatching early s1 you can pick up a bit better on the parodies they were going for, but when watching it passively for the first time I don't think it's necessarily obvious they're there until chicken fingers mafia movie slaps you in the face. I've *still* got a fair few friends who said they tried watching it and couldn't get into it, but never got past mid-way s1, then I have to be that annoying person who's like "it gets better I swear!".

[@Astrovite]

holy cow that 2009 flashback made me nostalgic. I never liked that song but all the scene kids would listen to it at my school.

[@tzimaka]

Love the show and loved your video. I don't know if anyone else said that but the Modern Warfare episode was directed by Justin Lin and the Russo's did the other two paintballs among half of the first two seasons.

six seasons and a movie

[@tiahere8499]

the only genre that i was sad wasnt made an homage by community was 70s-90s bad horror movies. the oppurtunity would've been perfect if for a Halloween episode, pierce got intoxicated or started seeing hallucinations because of his pills and tried to kill everyone, it would've been a perfect opportunity to give homage to classics like the halloween series, or the friday the 13th series, etc.

[@orge343]

Enjoyable vid, but the audio levels seem a bit off. Is it just me?

[@Alchemax]

yes you're right, if you check the description I have a new mic and was constantly messing with it leading to different audio levels which I couldn't level out because the level differences were just too great.

[@orge343]

@@Alchemax Understandable, here's hoping things get right!

[@jacklemmon2402]

So? The Simpsons, South Park or Spaced doing this before Community.

[@Alchemax]

Never said the idea was inherently unique, I am simply pointing out that genre filmmaking enhances the show and adds to it's charm. And i'm also pointing out how it does it in a successful manner that many shows have failed to do, B99, The Office etc. Obviously other shows have done it before and done it well but that's not what this is about. Thank you for checking the video out though, I appreciate it.

[@Hehe-nt4oe]

Community has a really special feel to it. It uses the genres to tell stories that fit in the genres and explore relationships between the characters. A fistful of paintballs explores the relationship between Annie and Pierce, Modern warfare is about Jeff and Britta. The genre parodies make you laugh and cry within minutes of each other. I love South Park, but the genre parodies there just feel like farces

[@whowantsabighug]

Digital estate planning felt too self-indulgent for me, season 3 was very hit or miss

[@MahkyVmedia1]

I hope they never make a movie so we can always look forward to the movie. If they make a movie that'll be it and the journey will be over for good....

[@sublime3784]

Why is Olivia Munn in the NBC line up? What show was she on?

[@Alchemax]

She was in a really bad show that didn't last in 2010 called perfect couples on NBC I think.

[@BigSmoke-bu6ib]

Modern Warfare was better than all superhero movies combined

[@samimsharifi2718]

I don't think a show should be criticized for making offensive jokes, nor should it be seen as a flaw. Offensive jokes work as long as everyone race is being joked upon. Abed Nadir says it best: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3OzZ2Sljb56nbs

The Russo’s didn’t direct Modern Warfare.
