"I have seen the show but I have no memory" "Oh see that's good for a reporter" Classic Winger!

[@Pyroshen]

Wow. I LOVE that Joel called her out on not watching the show. He was so spot on to notice that she had no clue. This makes me like him even more.

[@witchhunter84]

Man, I love how unforgiving Joel is to the reporter who can't name a single episode or scene from the show.

[@Rosato86]

lol I love Gillian.. she is so funny. "I would say Jeff's and Britta's relationship has morphed into.... uh.. what would you say Joel."

[@PotentialRoadkil]

That reporter Britta'd this interview.

[@thebob01]

Got into "Community" late and am binging it right now. Love the show! Gillian Jacobs is the main reason I even gave it a chance. Love her.

[@Vendetta_19]

Same with me , I would always hear about it but never had an interest in watching it besides 🤔 my that Blonde chick is cute . Then I saw Ibiza and a year later decided to watch it because Gillian was in it and I was bored. Gillian is so Beautiful but by the end of season 1 I fell Inlove with the show and proceeded to fall Inlove with Annie , i watched all 6 seasons just for The Annie, Jeff will they won’t they! =(

[@MrVaYne27]

Which do we think is worse, the interviewer, the choice of background or the camera angle? These two superb comic actors are so forthcoming and proffessional, and deserve so much better. For shame.

[@gregkrazanski]

HAHA Gillian is trying to save her and she just keeps digging her own grave hahaha

[@Russelsprout97]

I hope she got a warning about her skills as interviewer. That was so embarrassing and I'm sure Gillian and Joel are pretty annoyed.

[@93z]

community is one of the best shows I've ever watched. the writing, directing, delivery of the jokes- it's such high quality. best cast, too! I love how interactive they are with the fans on twitter and are all genuinely funny and loving people.

[@SCharlesDennicon]

Alison Brie's cuteness is spectacular, it's like a broadway musical, or a Hollywood blockbuster. But Gillian's cuteness seems more... natural. I love her expression at 14:00. She's adorable.

[@AlexTapisevic]

There is something very attractive about her.

[@suXses]

Both girls are beautiful inside out. That's what I see. Love them both.

[@monimarz]

Gillian has the best eye contact. Makes me melt.

[@Machammerballs]

Joel McHale is hilarious, and the soup is so funny. Gillian Jacobs, man, even if Community sucked, (which it doesn't, it's awesome) I'd still watch it for her, she's so gorgeous, it blows my mind.

[@giulianol]

Gillian is so damn gorgeous :0

[@michellleflorensia510]

So glad that the show is on Netflix now! When they were talking about the future of television and how fans don't watch on cable tv, it just shows how community was streets ahead and would have thrived if it airs in this era of tv. #sixseasonsandamovie

[@ChaseHLee]

When he said someone died, I thought he was just Joeling the interviewer Joel- to say things sarcastically that could be true and not say whether you're kidding or not

[@miniladdateallmycheesepizz4252]

The interviewer britta'd it

[@frankdrebiin]

so.. the network brittaed the slot? :D

[@shutupleonard]

"was there a halloween party? and people were wearing.. weird costumes?" nice try, reporter lady who has never seen community. nice try.

[@duckslolsexy]

"at least people on the internet love us" Joel, you have no idea.

[@DownWithTheHerman]

Holy shit, Joel telling off the interviewer is great

[@MedalionDS9]

Gillian does make very good eye contact, so much, that people mistake for her flirting, but it's just she's very polite and give you her full attention.

[@welcometheoverlords]

They were really spot on about 2021, all those years ago.

[@Cyallope]

What awful rude interviewers. Edging towards the door before it was finished. Asking stupid questions and answering the phone. Fair enough if you haven't seen the show and you are just asked to interview but at lease do some research and not be so disrespectful to people who have put 3 years of their careers into something they clearly take pride in. Jesus tbh they were actually very polite and these interviewers got off easy!

[@jarrethcutestory]

Favourite episode: Season 2 opener. Favourite scene: Jeff's Ben Chang speech.

[@giulianol]

Gillian is absolutely gorgeous

[@KevinPham9]

She pronounced it right. It's not JIF, its GIF, like Gift without the T.

[@MedalionDS9]

This interviewer is part of the problem... people don't watch the show, she is ironically the audience that made Community in trouble in the first place

[@eugeneendres5846]

I have to put a pin in the rest of this interview - don't have time to see the whole thing right now. Let me just say, that I love this show, as well as the entire cast. They are so funny and so talented - It's mind boggling. I just recently discovered this show in fact. I was sorry to hear that they canceled it after the fifth season. But I have heard that they are going to stream line it for another season. So, I'm really glad to hear that. And I love Gillian, by the way. I've got a big crush on her !

[@BemusedExpression]

Both their reactions to "emotional chicken" are priceless. Esp McHale -- you can see him thinking, "That's good; I'm going to remember that." At 2:55

[@DelToro7]

1 day = 24 hours. from episode 1 of season 1 to episode 8 of season 4 = 79episodes without commercials (online) the average time per episode = 22minutes 22min x 79 = 1738min 1738min / 60 = 28.97 hours 28.97h > 24.00h Therefore, IF you watched all those episodes in 1 sitting you most certainly took more than one day. I was quite generous in my calculations by not including the time it would take to download/stream each episode. You, sir, are from a much darker timeline than my own. lol jk

[@3pt1415926535]

When the reporter asks what their three favorite TV shows are Joel makes no effort to hide his irritation.

[@RouserTheRebel]

Gillian Jacobs is my new waifu

[@anne21bon]

oh my gosh that interviewer.Gillian kept expressing how awesome things where,and she kept not knowing why or what! How!

[@TriggerHappy923]

The law and order episode was THE FUNNIEST!

[@travelingnome87]

love Gillian's dress!

[@SportyJ0RD0]

The submarine and German controls episode would be awesome :d 8 days :D

[@dice91]

its 2012 and you interview celebs with a 360p cam? WTF?

[@Serious_XM362]

"Nobody knows what the future is hahaha....except for wizards..." 🤦🏻

[@HappyCoolOfficial]

@starvinghope Please note that this is not an interview by TV Equals only. We were invited to a press event for different series that included a lot of different outlets asking questions, including this interview for Community. Also it's not an unusual thing for people to walk in and out, these are mostly PR people handling the event and talent.

[@awesome3271]

Even off-set, these two fit together like a married couple. Guys. Get married. Have attractive children. Please and thank you.

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

JOEL MCHALE FOR PRESIDENT !!!!!!!

[@macro312]

Fucking ouch hahah I can't believe joel just smacks her with that "what is your favourite episode" haha XD

[@tarvoltg]

Oh Britta`s in this?

[@lily__e]

Love how she mentions tumblr and gifs! :P

[@XxDaRkNeSsx19xX]

I love this show and i live in the UK theres like no actual way i can watch this on TV because i have no info on channel and times... i watched every single episode season 1 episode 1 to season 4 episode 8 in 1 day....

[@zeroskie]

What is this woman doing? She doesn't know anything about this show.

[@EimajSsof]

Shoot for the stars, 8 seasons and a Movie!

[@howva]

The Comeback is her favourite TV show! that is amazing, that is my favourite tv show. so so good if you haven't seen it, watch it!

[@Teufelsnachbar667]

Six Reasons and a Porn

[@elissajeanette]

Exactly! Same in Australia. So sad that we have to rely on stupid Nielson boxes and network decisions in the US... *sigh* I'm still fuming over losing Chuck. But I have hopes after the success of the Veronica Mars kickstarter thing..!

[@spikeman4pres]

my favorite has to be either the christmas episode with abed or the second paintball

[@F00dTube]

I'm so sick of the talk about fans and the bitching about the network at every occasion. Can I just really enjoy the series?

[@SasukeUchihaEMS]

ahaha people of england know how to watch community we aint been left out as we have our resources

[@yashwantsinghchauhan5610]

is the fourth season surely the last one?

[@dudemansam93]

You've got two of the funniest, most-talented people on TV right now, and the best question you can think of is to ask them what their favourite TV shows are?! For shame, interviewer, for shame.

[@LucyLoppez]

They're amazing together. Love those two.

[@TheProbots]

"yeah I haven't watched the last few seasons" The show was out for 2 seasons...

[@SRNF]

Dont be reporting on things you haven't researched....good lesson.

[@callysto_ii]

I couldn't help but laugh when she said I hope some of the hardcore fans are forcing people around them to watch, because it's exactly what I do, for Community, for New Girl, but we can only do so much when we're not in America, it's really stupid of them not to count the rest of the world because in France, and many other countries I gathered, we really love this show...

[@TheAltoSaxophonist]

I understand that the reporter wants the audience to be informed, but the people who watch this will already know what's happened

[@bigpoppabball]

which is funny, because they planned it out to be the exact opposite at the start.

[@kalilabouzeidan5287]

Oh I've seen the show,well name an episode lmao

[@Jimmette]

4:17 - 5:00 criiiiiiiiiiinge

[@CapnIronBeard]

if they were facing the door it might have been distracting.

[@Liam199995]

That was the weirdest laugh ever. Hell I don't care. 02:57.

[@TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

Probably the biggest insult I've heard levelled at Van Gogh, ever.

[@KevinPham9]

Joel mcHale was brutal with the interviewers...

[@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

THEE best show on TV - period.

[@evilabedfromdarkesttimelin5044]

Cruel. Cruel Cruel Cruel.

[@Vendetta_19]

, I would always hear about it but never had an interest in watching it besides 🤔 my that Blonde chick is cute . Then I saw Ibiza and a year later decided to watch it because Gillian was in it and I was bored. Gillian is so Beautiful but by the end of season 1 I fell Inlove with the show and proceeded to fall Inlove with Annie , i watched all 6 seasons just for The Annie, Jeff will they won’t they! =(

[@Mrluckdawg1]

Oh Brittas in this?

[@tonyhinderman]

shut up people, everyone is just rehashing arguments about not knowing anything about community and people leaving. you dont know anything about press events and you dont know anything about conducting interviews in this type of environment.

[@cynthiaadam561]

I LOVE this show

[@joevarady9083]

GIllian is almost still in character.

[@mtljin]

well the thing with TV ratings is that it doesn't take into account the millions of young adults (their main audience) who watch online. i don't watch any TV when it's actually on, i Tivo EVERYTHING.

[@anamulleer]

"and she can show them..." "to my mother" hahahaha

[@jmfisfab]

She really Britta'd the pronunciation of GIF

[@djkeen4353]

That girl in the back

[@Mabsss33]

I see what you did there lol

[@Ninjujitsu]

PR People are not "handling the event" if they are in the frame, walking in and out, and generally disrupting the interview. If you're going to have a press event where people are going to be coming and going constantly, don't record the interviewees right in front of the door. Some random guy on youtube shouldn't have to tell you how to maintain a professional setting. There is a huge conference with almost the whole cast here on youtube and nobody is walking back and forth.

[@kafren89]

I am from Australia and I am a huge fan. In fact, There's a huge fan base here. The problem is not everyone can watch it on TV if we don't have a digital signal so a lot of us have to download it. I would gladly add to ratings if I could watch it on the NBC website but they have region limitations so I can't watch it. It's stuff like that that ruins it. It's only based on an American fan base and it doesn't always represent the general fan base.

[@Pyroshen]

If you are TV equals iofficial, I really hope you fired the woman asking questions who clearly had NO idea about community.

[@werdghs]

i jus dont get how big bang and 30 rock can get a higher rating than COMMUNITY....honestly, no offence to anyone, big bang sucks so bad that i cant even handle watching 10 minutes of it and 30 rock is jus so mediocre

[@MaterialThings11]

I find it so frustrating, because I live in Australia, and community is only on irregularly on one of the crappy digital stations, and people never know when it is on. Myself and almost every person I meet my age has not only seen this show, but consider it one of their absolute favourites. If it was on primetime television, it's ratings would go through the roof! ...Instead Glee gets to be on at primetime twice a week and most of the time they are repeats...

[@wdsa8d]

it sucks coz where i'm from, which is australia, the show is incredibly popular and wouldn't be struggling in the ratings if they monitored international viewership and if hulu would open up to the rest of the world.

[@JK4m3r0n]

second that

[@mettashade]

Best comedy on tv!

[@Pyroshen]

@Gabriel2027 It gets worse any time she asks a question. She asked the most boring questions ever "Favorite 3 shows and why" ....boring

[@y0ungstr]

#Sixseasonsandamovie

[@mohitvanjani3570]

I finished the whole thing in 2 days thats how good it is thumbs up

[@MahdiRanger]

WHOA! Britta is the worst... not Gillian

[@whitetanuki232323]

I too hate the Australian Networks for flip flopping the Community time slot! Get it together!

[@HairConfetti]

EXACTLY

[@sanddrute]

Joel is really cute and show is awesome, never gets boring :]]] cool. cool cool cool

[@looshy95]

that makes me feel bad for watchin it online but I live in Jordan and they don't air it here anymore so I kinda have to .sorry :'(

[@Vespyro]

Nope, gif. Like it's spelt. Otherwise it would be jif, right?

[@widehalk]

Agreed. Most people from the U.S. have absolutely no taste in anything.

[@BAS1630]

What moment is that at? This is too painful to watch fully...

[@Jadamog]

4:12

[@melman]

Joel's hair! It's so....flat! I don't care for this at all!
