How Community Came Back from the Dead | Streets Ahead

Still have my hopes for the movie, community has always been one of my favorites

Community is an amazing show NGL and this video is well made ! 💪🏼🗿

Love your channel, Mr. Garbage!

I love the community videos!

Six seasons and a movie! Still waiting for the latter 😄.

If you have any thoughts on basic story/basic sandwich, I'd love to see a video on them. They're such fun episodes

Yay! So happy when I saw this new video!

Man, I forgot how much that line from Troy hurt…

S4 was obviously awry, but S5 spent way too much energy shitting on it. That said... it was all awesome and glad to see it through. Keith David and Paget Brewster were amazing additions!

always love your community videos

I really love seasons 5 and 6

your community videos do better than the actual community channel

God. I can't wait for the movie.

These community videos were the reason i discovered this channel, so excited for a new one

Hidden gem

i literally watched all the community videos on your channel for the first time this week and now i get blessed with another??? idk how your channel keeps getting better

YES

I was so excited for this! Cant wait for ladders

I have mixed feelings about Repilot. Having all of the characters' lives fuck up again felt a little forced, and I felt bad for them, but for what it's going for it's executed pretty seamlessly.
Also, I don't like how it calls out the way Britta has changed and then the show just doubles down on that in later episodes.

I would watch your videos on community forever, I hope you keep making them, there is so much to talk about.

My like was 666 on this video 😮

Im the antichrist, oh no

I don't like it on Retrospect because it breaks the happy ending for most characters and doesnt restore or evolve it for all of them. The Greendale 7:
Pierce actually gets a good Iconic send off
Abed basically gets his happy ending restored and I would dare say Improved
Troy evolves pasts his Original happy ending and I would say Improved
Shirley evolves past her Original ending and its not bad or good but different
Annie gets her happy ending restored and not really improved
Jeff remains stagnant. He Doesnt get to become a lawyer again, he doesnt get to fight for the little guy and is implied to be stuck at greendale forever which is not that bad but I feel it goes against the theme of community that is about looking back at the times in college and realize they were great.
Britta by far the one that gets the rawest detailed, She didn't get her happy ending restored and in many aspects regressed, She's dumber than ever and everyone hates her or sees her as a nuisance, she becomes the worst sterereotype of an anarchist. This is not a constant but a slow burn that fluctuates, I get that she becomes a bartender that can use her psychology training to help people and sell them booze. At best she has rich parents so she wont stay homeless, She doesnt get to say goodbye to Annie and Abed. I feel bad for her and the writers dismissing her or hating her for her progressivism perhaps, idk. I will never know. All I know is the screen and what I saw. You can Argue about realism, how its not that bad, how her ideas are proven to be good, how while not being the brightest she is similar to troy in her Wisdom. But to me her Trauma, her ideals, and her Wit became a joke a joke that I never found that funny and has only offended me the longer I thought about. I love Community and I show it to everyone I can but its genuinely painful when I get to the 5th season because despite its heights and Heights that have not been reached or surpassed in any other sitcom I know how my favorite character, a self insert with a personality, someone I admired, a sister from another mister will end up as a joke. I cannot bring myself to like it. I can only try to ignore this part and enjoy the rest of the show with the brilliance I love and have been given to my favorite character from episode 1. I will admit I am biased, that its not as bad as how it makes me feel, that there are ways to see the ending as empowering and comendable, that there are hints that Britta's future is brighter than I am making it out to be, that she has the wit and skills by the end where she will achive all her dreams and more or at least end up happier than when she started. But Nah, I don't think I will accept that. I will only hope that the movie gives her a more servicable ending, that she gets her metaphorical medal like Chewbacca, But I dont think she will, I have almost no hope. Its not Community's fault if anything it's only because its so great that I am so emotional. We live in a society where women so often get the short end of the stick, not only in real life but in our fantasies too. In a way it's my fault I don't like Britta, my expectations were too high, my attachment to strong, My Naivatte too blinding, I mean they literally use her name as a mistake. But in another way its not my fault, I was born in the society I was born, my attachment, rage and expectanions followed by its dissapointment might have been inevitable. Just like the show being what it is, unaprecitated by the mainstream as well as not living up to its full Jeff's dad being Bill Murray potential was inevitable, a show so ahead of its time never being allowed to shine burning brighter than any other. Community made me jealous with its genius and brought me more joy than I can express. In some ways it is only fitting that it inspires me to be greater with the anger I feel at the ending for one of my favorite characters even if at the same time I doubt I would be able to reach the same quality with all the constraints it had. Community is flawed but it will never stop being part of me and I can only thank you for letting me relive one of my favorite tv shows of all time.

I bounced off season 5 (only saw the pilot), but this analysis is really touching and insightful. If I do decide to rewatch the show I'll include the later seasons too

6 SEASONS AND A MOVIE!!! It’ll happen

Yeah…no.

Community had been in decline from the moment they gave up their premise in Season 3 when they gave everyone lockers, openly admitting it wasn’t actually a show about college but instead a show about adults pretending to be in high school. It was still really good for the rest of the year, but the decline became very sharp without Dan Harmon in Season 4.

The show had a couple of great episodes in Season 5, but the overall quality isn’t much better than Season 4 because the show never recovered from the loss of Donald Glover. Troy was not only the funniest individual character, but also helped provide a large portion of Abed’s humor as a comedy duo. Abed because significantly less funny when he didn’t have someone he could bounce off of and match his weirdness.

And Season 6 is as little more than a corpse of a show, the equivalent of watching a former teenage pitching prodigy flame out by age 30 because they no longer had their stuff. It’s only justification was to try and fulfill Abed’s mantra of 6 seasons and a movie.

The necessary reset felt artificial in a way that even the lowest points of Season 4 didn't but its nice to have the Gang back together again. I didn't care for Jeff as a teacher and I felt the characters were very lost in their arches after this except for Troy and Jeff but man, there were some great moments all the same.I love this series of yours.

I literally just started a rewatch and you make this video. actually kinda nuts

as someone once said
"nothing ever ends. it only continues"

6 seasons and a movie

The promising beginning of the season, but with next episodes the whole idea of saving greendale was dumped in the trash. The main issue with the greendale was that they gave a degree to idiots who could then build a bridge that would crush. So saving greendale meant to turn this place into a institution where people could get real education. But the “saving greendale comity’s” actions, especially Jeff’s, with all that drinking at classes, classes like ladders and grifting weren’t actually aimed to that goal.

This show was streets ahead

Six Seasons and a Movie!!!

Didn't even know there was a 5 or 6... or that Dan Harmon returned. O_O

Fascinating

As a big fan of Repilot, I've been waiting for this one! I know it may not be the most algorithm-forward move, but id be fascinated to hear your thoughts on Scrubs: Med School

Algorithm

I feel like repilot is parallel to both episodes 1 and 2 of season 1.

His talk with Pierce and being mean to him and all of them being outiside when pierce/the study table catches fire.

Dan Harmon knows this characters and comedy on another level

Jeff is great

Idk why but, “THATS ONLY ON TUMMY TUESDAYS” always kills me

I don't think you can use 'Streets Ahead", Pierce coined that

Great video.

Liked, subscribed, commented, bring on season 6

i am still watching the series over and over again :)

Honestly, after everyone graduated, it just felt so forced to have everyone stay at greendale to continue the show. I kinda wish they had either ended when Troy left or changed directions completely

Season 4 is the reason Britta and Troy went so bad and broke up

I go around all day singing, "Jeff Winger, Loser at Law - rented office in a mini-MALL!"
