NBC "Community" - Asperger's

"ass burger, a burger for your ass".

[@bluedove9696]

The way Troy says "burger for your ass" and then the sudden cut is so funny

[@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770]

Back when they were trying to make "Troy and Pierce" a thing.

[@franciscofarias6385]

I loved the times when they bonded over their mutual immaturity. The most fun part of shows like Community it the dynamics between the characters

[@liquidmang]

Troy and Pierce were Streets Ahead

[@justsomeguy1691]

“If it’s so serious why don’t they call it meningitis?” Is honestly one of my favorite lines in the series lmao. I wish all the off-screen stuff with Chevy Chase never happened, I loved when Pierce was more than a punching bag

[@fulltimeslackerii8229]

britta, pierce and shirley underwent character assassination so that annie, abed and troy could shine more, i hate it more and more with each rewatch

[@justsomeguy1691]

@@fulltimeslackerii8229 the way britta and Shirley changed annoys me less because I feel like they’re still always funny, even if their characters lost depth. With Pierce there are certain points where I’m really just not laughing and I can clearly tell they made him do certain things out of spite towards Chevy Chase

[@zerostrike3889]

I have Aspergers, when I first watched this show I was into it immediately, then when he said abed had aspergers I could not stop watching, I love finding fun, weird characters who remind me of me

[@Weirdisjustabrownandyellowword]

Aspergers isn't a diagnosis anymore btw. There are loads of ways to be autistic, and what was once called aspergers is just one part of that spectrum. Also it should never have been called that, because it's named after a nazi who killed autistic children. You're autistic. Not an ass burger.

@@carstarsarstenstesenn hea completely right. I have aspergers and there's been so many similar situations in my life where a friend laughs with me about my condition like this and someone like Annie chimes in, infanilizes me, talks to me like I'm a child and gets offended over how my friend is with me. Pierce knows from years of living its not that serious its just different.

[@AntonActions]

I am in the same boat, Abed is the most relatable fictional character for me

[@elladrawswell]

I was diagnosed with Asperger's about half a year ago, at the beginning of my senior year of high school. As soon as Abed came onscreen and started talking, I related to him more than any character I had watched on TV prior. Now I know why!

[@jmpms]

My oldest boy has Asperger's and found this quite funny, as did I. And watching the show progress, that character clearly portrays many Asperger's characteristics.

[@zerostrike3889]

I have aspergers and I find this hilarious, also not a serious disorder simply makes you think differently from “normal” people, bottom line love this show, love the aspergers joke, love it all

[@roamandread1451]

Same here.

[@adleranderson6797]

Ditto.

[@MrPicklerwoof]

I was diagnosed with Aspergers a few years back. It's hard to say how severe a disorder it can be, since there's a wide range - some people can find ways of dealing with it better than others and live a fairly active/fulfilled lifestyle. I know it's had a big impact on my life, the fact it effects how I fit in with the crowd has got to me more than I wish, but I'm still well aware there are far worse conditions out there. It's a very frustrating condition.

[@Mentelgen-1337]

[@surge1927]

[@ellser5]

Every person on this show is hilarious. Don't let NBC take it off the air. It's on hiatus right now and I'm worried.

[@eyktk]

Dude, this was two full years before that south park story arc! You're streets behind!

[@SeanTheOriginal]

That is so true, though. If they really wanted people to take it seriously they should have re-named it immediately. Maybe put an end to people naming shit after themselves.

[@GeneratedPerson]

so far my favourite bit is when annie drops her "baggles" and abed says 13 in the middle of all of the panic, because he counted them. it was so sudden and unexpected, and so, funny

[@jayhow92]

Pierce is the Cartman of Community. You can't write him off! If anybody should go, its Britta.

[@Jack-5718]

+jayhow92 they really britta’d up when they did that

[@imanerd36]

I have Asperger's and I find this(and the whole "assburger's" joke thing funny.) People with Asperger's tend very smart, and often live very successful lives, we just have some quarks about us. If you can't luagh at yourself... P.S.: Remember it's ASP, not ASS, when you pronounce it though.

[@ReuploadArchivist]

I remember when I was a kid my friend tried telling me he had Asperger's but since I never heard of that disorder and I was young/stupid, I made the same jokes. Edit: He introduced me to Community

[@coppermeowmix]

I have Asperger's and I reacted to the word the same way when I first heard it.

[@Texamerican12]

thank you for putting "its a serious disorder" community writing staff. making us autistic feel special and comedic at the same time

[@Sabbalab92]

0:10 "What does that mean?" Well, I'll be damned. Abed wasn't diagnosed. Poor guy.

[@parrot998]

Aspergers is not a serious disorder, just a different mindset. That's like saying being gay is a serious disorder, or liking different music is a serious disorder. Yes, it has cons, but it has pros as well (High creative and logical output for example.). If people didn't label it as a disorder, people like me (who has dealt with it, and had to work extra hard to achieve social activity) wouldn't get so much unwarranted prejudice.

[@SebastianLeToux]

I agree with you, but because of the way it arises, Asperger's has to be called a disorder. You could try changing the definition of disorder, I can see that helping even more people with them

[@parrot998]

chris smith Except that they are both completely harmless and natural deviations in humans that have positives and negatives... Which was the point of my comparison... People hear Aspergers and automatically jump to autism... But it is a very low level of the autism spectrum, to the point where it does have pros...

[@breeeegs9704]

ninja34744 Asperger's is not a "deviation" or a deficiency.

[@breeeegs9704]

What is "the norm"?

I have Asperger's. I find this hilarious.

[@harmonharmoonica2152]

I have aspergers and the only thing I was offended by was that it's "serious".

[@incognito84]

Abed does display many of the symptoms of Aspergers (which is an Autism spectrum disorder). Sheldon from Big Bang Theory also most definitely has Aspergers. I have to give props to both of these shows for their mostly-realistic (if not a bit exaggerated--but hey, it's TV) depictions of people with this disorder.

[@llarmstrong783]

Abed is more realistic than Sheldon

[@MezephelesArt]

I see more people saying they have Asperger's and not being offended by it than I do people who are offended by it. As well I should, considering the joke is at the expense of Asperger, not the disorder

[@ninjaaron]

My nephew has just been diagnosed with Asperger's and this clip is all I've been able to think about. Like many people with Asperger's he only eats foot that is, like white or yellow or fried or whatever. He's so skinny. He might feel better if they could feed him some burgers that way.

[@4mAALIKcHIN4]

I always thought it was Ass-burgers too! lol Oww it hurts so good

[@mupty]

Well you could see the joke as a statement as to how no one seems to take Asperger's seriously as a condition. I actually has AS so I should know. I think Abed is a more accurate portrayal of Asperger's than what I've seen on other TV shows. He's got the narrow interests and the poor eye contact down flat.

[@mardoggie2013]

I have Asperger's and I love Asperger's jokes. Especially this one.

[@ddreamcatcher2]

I get it that some people may be offended by this. But I also think that having a sense of humor about it makes everything so much easier. I think everyone should just enjoy it for what it is; a funny and entertaining tv-show that probably didn't mean to offend anyone in any way. Can't wait for community to start again ♥

[@GiantMushyShroom]

Lol some people have no sense of humor! It's obviously just poking fun at the name. The fact that the other characters comment on how serious the disease is shows that the writers know that too. Damn. Don't make it your weakness, dude.

[@titusbjorn2456]

I am an Aspy, and I am also going to community college. Think Abed except not half as hyper focused on pop culture and more socially acceptable. As for the joke its friggin hilarious, because its spot on!

[@angeltosome]

I prefer to pronounce it "assburgers," because that makes it funny.

[@TheBattlehills]

The best part of this show is when half the internet admits they have asperger's on youtube.

[@charlesanders0n]

@StripeMeGreen Well, it depends on how severe the condition is. Some people with very severe Aspergers don't quite know how to express their emotions, because it's difficult for them to infer how to do it from normal social interaction. So, when they're amused and would have a feeling that would cause laughter in a socially adept person, they may express it in a radically different way.

[@NattieAngel]

My cousin has Aspergers. he is really really intelligent but doesn't understand emotion properly. but hes insanely funny and does have a sense of humor. and the name does sound like ass burgers

[@Trashcansam123]

I have Aspergers. I love Abed, he's like the symbol of it.

[@mistermysteryman107]

My nephew has Asperger’s. He used to watch this show until this episode. When he got to this part, my sister told me he started crying and went to his room and shut the door. He’s never watched this show since.

[@Trashcansam123]

I have Aspergers, I go to a social group full of Aspies, and we all pronounce it like that, it's pretty funny

[@psych0ruins]

THIS WAS SO FUNNY

[@jmpms]

@lymon That's pretty harsh. As a parent, I did all the things I am supposed to for my children to socialize properly and communicate. Something didn't click with my boys, and so,we work twice as hard for the same results that should come natural to others. Not everyone is as perfect as you :)

[@incognito84]

This is why I tell people that I have a disorder in the Autism spectrum instead of actually saying Asperger's... haha. This video captures it perfectly.

[@thenamedoesnotmatter]

This is quite funny to watch as I actually do have asperger's and tourette's syndrome. It prompts me to ponder the epistemology of Normal people. It is infinitesimally lonely all of the time. I would not assume Abed to have Asperger's syndrome, but iloveravenrock does bring up several good points.

@loqutor , spoken like a true Aspie. Kudos my neuro-countryman! And, we Aspies have an amazing ability to have a strong grasp of the pun-ny. Sometimes an Apsie is necessary to explain things for the nerotyp-shits.

[@marting1]

Always thought Abed was the best and in his own way he made more sense than the rest of them. Little did i know, there were reasons. Or i kinda knew but i avoided saying anything out loud before i had a diagnosis. Because saying you are/have something before actually knowing is at best disrespectful and at worst very harmful. I mean. If you suspect something about yourself. Go to a professional. Express your thoughts. But dont assume.. ok thanks. Peace. Love everyone. Cut down on carbs, use sunscreen, dont spend more than you need. Give as much as you can. Dont smoke in bed.
