I was jokingly referring to the whole BBT nonsense that's been going on by saying hey Chuck Loooorre doesn't do that, and then remembered the whole Sheen thing and figured it'd add a layer of irony. (I don't know what irony means)
It's that thing where sometimes you're getting married and then it starts rayheeayning.
I cannot tell if this was intended. There are too many switchbacks in the vipers' nest of logic, intention, and irony [and post-irony!] in this show to know for sure.
This episode though, this episode was great. I really liked the 1984 motif.
And Britta is, strangely, the best part of this season so far, she's just been hilarious every episode.
To be fair, they've been building to the Abed/Troy conflict for a while now.
Gillian Jacobs has absolutely been on fire this season, agreed.
worstbest.I'm not saying they did it badly or anything, I just hate it whenever and wherever it is used. Everyone calm down and stop being dicks!
Just as long as your calming down doesn't ruin the integrity of my chilling out.
It's called chillaxing. Duh!
Whaaaa? I think that's only with older seasons. I can stream the latest episodes just fine.
Also, completely casual use of "streets ahead" I spotted today. It made me smile. I think with a little effort, this could actually wind up being a "thing."
The University of Edinburgh Accommodation Services sent out a pamphlet on end of term procedures and one of the sections was "Streets Ahead on Safety" or something. I wasn't even aware Community existed over here since no one I've met has ever heard of it.
I was thinking the same thing. Going with "holy shit this is just straight up product placement and we know it" and then going for a 1984 reference is hilarious. It's blatant product placement in universe.

7.5 million results for streets ahead from 2000-mid2009, before Community was on TV.
You know that, right? You're just being ironic like with the Bill Murray ghost-house episode?
Chuck was way more shameless in that they just wrote the ad into the script.
Next you'll tell me there's no Easter Bunny.
Why would I know that? Am I British? No. Do I do research on jokes from TV? No.
They were subtle about it until the buying Subway campaign seemed to play a big part in coming back for a third season and then they just said fuck it.
Arrested Development and 30 Rock treated product placement in a similar way.

No. He was streets behind.
"Streets ahead" is so fetch.
They weren't that subtle before the Subway campaign. That's why the Subway campaign happened! Awesome's bachelor party in particular. And when Morgan betrays Big Mike.
They promoted it openly, but not as bad as it became where they'd describe all the ingredients in whatever sandwich Big Mike was eating that episode.

This is true, but equally, Community absolutely made saying "streets ahead" in the States a thing; there's nothing wrong with giving it credit for that. Pretty much nobody was aware of that over here until Community started using it.
More fun info on the Dan and Chevy feud! I used to be pretty neutral and convinced that both parties were equal assholes, but after this, I'm not so sure.
There was this delightful tidbit, allegedly from a "show insider", regarding Chase on the show:
If this is true, I'm suddenly sympathetic to Harmon. Constantly walking off set not only costs the show money but also is a giant "fuck you" to all of the cast and crew of the show, forcing them to do extra work to pick up the slack on a show which is already pulling extreme hours on a regular basis.
And cue cards, for chrissake?
Regarding Community's product placement: I actually really like that they went balls-out and full on integrated it into the show. Product placement actually feels less offensive that way; it's not simply shoehorned in, but is rather a justified and funny part of the plot.
I was indeed streets behind.
And the author of the article I linked is British, and has probably never even seen Community. Also, I'm pretty sure my high school girlfriend cheated on me.
Fuck it, I'm drinking.
Brando did it, not that that makes it okay at all.
But also, if they're still writing like they were in Season 1, I'd be pretty pissed too.
That gets damned annoying.
But in the end, none of us needs to take sides, they're both acting like dicks in my book. Chevy is a celebrated chore and Harmon has some serious problems. Throw them all together and you get a big batch of off set fuck up!
Show's still great, though.
Oh no, he exists all right.
But he's British!
if you can seriously say you think pierce is a weaker link than shirley I don't know what show you've been watching.
I don't want to lose any of them, don't get me wrong, but come on.
Chang needs to be there to make the rest of the cast seem sane.
Edit: Also, that's not nice!
Yes, this could be a good way to do it.
