Community: hit me with your genie's bottle, rub it all over me (season 3 confirmed!)

Season 1 on DVD now, oftentimes on sale, buy 1 or 5 but never 0. Soundtrack also available on iTunes and at Amazon

Community is the best comedy on TV in the whole world, quite possibly of all time. This is not up for debate. It revolves around a study group at a local Community College in Greendale, Colorado. It airs Thursday nights on NBC at 8pm eastern/west, 7pm central. [strike]A ratings juggernaut,[/strike] it is the modern version of Dear John.

See? They are a group that is so diverse it makes the Planeteers look like racists. As mentioned, the show takes place at Greendale Community College, home of the Human Beings. It's a college that, well......one of the nicest things said about the school is that the basketball team is really gay:

And the Dean is a bit crazy and somewhat confused; his dalmation fetish will someday take over the entire school.

The Main Characters

Jeff Winger

community16.jpg

The main character. A former lawyer who was caught with a fake bachelor's degree from Colombia. Now in order to be a lawyer again, he has to get a bachelor's degree, and believes Greendale is the fastest way to this goal. Vain, arrogant, but lonely, he often learns important lessons from the group while wearing thousand dollar jeans. His facebook photo is of a landscape.

Troy Barnes and Abed Nadir

community5.jpg

These two are nigh inseparable. One is a dumb jock, the other very possibly has assburgers and views the world through TV and film. Troy has an obsession with butt stuff. Abed is prescient. Troy is on the school's football team, Abed delivered a kid in the background of an episode one week. They are the best comedy duo since Wayne and Garth. Their 30 second tags to end the show are better than most 20 minute shows:

Shirley Bennett
community10.jpg

A divorced single mother of two boys, she wants to get a business degree so she can sell her brownies online. Kind and sweet, but also a bit judgmental and sometimes has a short temper, she is not the funniest of the group but overall a nice lady who is deadly at paintball. Will also make your ass sense.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOJVl5O8N6w

Pierce Hawthorne

community3.jpg

The best character on the show, his penis jokes are unmatched by anything else. Successful businessman who owns the Hawthorne Wipes moist towelette company, and has had 7 ex wives. Always eager to be seen as young and hip, he recently broke both his legs while being double bounced on a trampoline. His naive, racist and offensive one-liners are transcribed by Troy with the twitter handle "Old White Man Says." His favorite movie is Fletch, and is also a member of a cult that believes we will all turn into Hawaiian Punch upon Buddha's return. Most importantly, coined the phrase "Streets Ahead"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dwM8FV0f7E

[url] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGx_1TswEXk&feature=related[/url]

Ben Chang

community7.jpg

Former Spanish teacher "El Tigre Chino" at Greendale, until it was discovered he did not know spanish, cobbling together stuff from Sesame Street and staying one chapter ahead in the textbook (word of advice: if an asian man says he's a spanish teacher it's not racist to ask for proof). Now trying to get a degree and desperate to be a part of the study group, his descent into madness is all but complete. Enjoys bull testicles and the keytar, and cannot be killed.

    I guess maybe growing up in the swede/deutsch portion of the midwest has skewed my perception of breast size.

    Community got a 2.0/6 last night, up a tenth of a point.

    I just wonder how much that episode cost, because the 5 minute behind the scenes video posted in the last thread said that the lady spent three days working on 30 seconds of it.

    I watch it on Hulu with my girlfriend because we can't ever find time to watch it together every Thursday. I know quite a few friends who do as well. Maybe among our generation it is really popular, just not through traditional avenues.

    Maybe those stats take that into account, though. I didn't really understand them.
