Moments That Make Dean Pelton Our Favorite Dean | Community

[@nathandavis2377]

It's a tradition to remind myself that Jim Rash has an Oscar whenever I see stuff like this.

[@ayelmao1224]

He’s clearly earned it

[@jezpeep538]

Damn, I had no idea that he won an Oscar

[@nathandavis2377]

@@jezpeep538 won for writing the screenplay for The Descendants, a movie from 2011 with George Clooney.

[@pat2rome]

I love the blooper where he comes in late and Joel quips "someone's thinking about his Oscar lunch"

[@jpetersgoyanks]

He should have an Emmy too

[@archang3l7]

Oh! Dean's in this? This better not awaken anything in me.

So the Dean heard there was an actual fire, changed into an appropriate outfit, THEN tells the study group...ALL BEFORE he actually announces to Greendale there is a legitimate FIRE. 🤣🤣🤣

[@manami3164]

Naw, he already had the outfit on

I love the Dean's infamous rap, and everyone's reactions. I don't blame Joel or Gillian for fighting back laughter, I'd probably do the same thing! 🤣

[@Luper1billion]

I feel like not laughing would be the hardest part of playing on that show

[@maxkcool4102]

She looks right at the camera too lmao

[@SuryaGupta-te7fq]

everyone told me when I was just starting this show that Abed would be my favorite character but it's not even close.. jim rash put a smile on my face for every scene he was in, which was literally more valuable than gold to a depressed recently broken up introvert like me

[@dashx1103]

Arguably the funniest single bit in the history of television.

[@Sangsstuff]

The keyboard guy's face is priceless as well. 😂

[@ShauqiSpade]

“Well, print 5000 more! I’m trying to save a planet here” One of the best irony ever 🤣

[@russellfisher1303]

The plural is ironeese

[@SirDistic]

Aside from the Payday rap, which is clearly the funniest Dean moment in the show, I love the Good news/bad news because he comes back for his cane and goes "come on Craig. Get your life together." makes me laugh every time.

[@briankasnick4403]

I have to go to the bank today. What am I supposed to tel them? That I had good news and bad news…

[@Raikkox36]

I re-watched the episode the other day. What's best is that he comes back to the study group and he says something like "people loved my outfit in the bank. They asked me all kinds of questions!"

[@mrheisenberg83]

@@Raikkox36 "I had the deepest conversation" etc.

[@josemaria8177]

The Dean is so much more than a craig-ular guy. He is a real Deanius. He makes new versions of 80s classics, raps and even has french thoughts

[@caesarjergens]

I see what you dean`t there, don't chang a thing.

[@c.decker3046]

The IMDb joke/scene has to be one of the biggest laughs for me lol. And Annie's face at the end is just perfect too

[@jodilackie2097]

I’m not ashamed to say that joke is why I started watching the series 😂

[@masonwiggers7886]

That was tragic

[@Tonyhouse1168]

Man this show was so wild. It’s so original and non conventional I feel lucky that something like this was created.

[@Sam-0827]

I agree, the jokes were incredible and the character dynamics were heartwarming

[@SassyPantsy]

"Greendale's music department is flat baroque" is one of my favorite puns of all time... And I just now noticed that the 'flat' part is also a musical pun!

[@stefanie7823]

“Oh Britta’s in this?” Gets me every time 😂😂

[@njdevilku1340]

2:14 he's using a megaphone because the fire alarms are fakes.

[@jessm229]

Wasnt there a bit where someone pulled a fire alarm and it like activated blacklights cuz he rented the building out for raves at night?

[@chrisvazquez7]

@@jessm229 not quite. There’s an end credits bit with Troy and Abed where they pull the fire alarm to get out of a test. But when they pull it, it just rips off the wall. They tell the dean to cancel school or they’ll tell everyone. He agrees, and then sticks the fake fire alarm back on the wall. 😂

[@suneatercranel5592]

​@@jessm229This was in the episode "The First Chang Dynasty". That's when they wanted to get past Chang's security

[@SilverStarlight5555]

Did we really had to have the file's pov while it was being drowned? Yes, absolutely

[@shamcoinc.853]

The peanut bar rap is by far my favorite bit in any piece of media ever. It hasn't once failed to make me die laughing. It's so, so funny.

[@KitOfTheWeirdWoods]

"I have to go to the bank today" and it's delivery leave me in tears of laughter everytime.

[@shucroc]

Literally laughed out loud when Dean shoo'd Darcy away

[@shucroc]

oh oh and "I have to go to the bank today.... get it together Dean!"

[@893loses]

Kicking Darcy out without a word of dialogue about why was such a good move

[@joels5150]

There can be no higher praise for an actor than to be told you loved them in……IMDB 😂

[@NickRoman]

That was tragic. LOL I loved that response. 😆

[@Predaking4ever]

Every Dean moment makes him my favorite Dean.

[@HectorTWE]

15:31 that climax of Conspiracy Theories episode should be in a Hall of Fame of some kind. So good!

[@russellfisher1303]

Especially because the last person who’s shot is a tertiary character, so when they end up being shot you think that he’s actually dead this time

[@MrCmsch]

How else would you announce a fire?😂

[@lemondropkid6175]

You can tell yourself that if it makes you feel better....

[@mjdalicandro]

Personal favorite is when Jeff and Slater start dating and the Dean goes through the questionnaire regarding student teacher relationships.

[@mstrikesback168]

when he does karaoke with Jeff at the mall lol

[@Rose_Butterfly98]

The best part is how Laybourne knows the dean's sexuality better than the school board.

[@FailSonOfAnarchy]

My fan theory is that the shortfall on the budget for paychecks that week was exactly as much as the purchase price of the nut bar costume.

The genius of not saying "frankly my dean, I didn't give a damn."

I always theorized that he wasn't actually an accredited Dean for the college, his name was just Dean Craig Pelton, and there happened to have been a new Dean named regular Craig Pelton who got into a car accident or something and never showed up. Someone went "Oh are you the new Dean? Dean Pelton?" And he went "wow! Everyone here is so friendly!" And that was that.
