Yeah, I really liked it mostly because Matt Berry is hilarious.

Matt Berry is loving hilarious and if you liked him in this episode you need to watch "Toast of London". It's only 12 episodes and I actually had to pace myself because of how much I loved it. I just never wanted it to end. I CAN HEAR YOU, CLEM FANDANGO.

I loved this week's. Last week's was kinda lower but this was pretty good. The "Entertainer" leitmotif was wonderful, extending to the opening theme song.

I feel like the last two episodes would have been a lot better at 21 minutes instead of 28. Both ending tags were pretty funny, but the middle of the episodes just dragged and dragged.

I really like what they've done with this series. I've laughed at every episode unlike in the last season.

Matt Berry makes everything better. He only really has one character he ever plays, but that character is glorious.

Both ending tags were pretty funny, but the middle of the episodes just dragged and dragged. Yeah, its absolutely disappointing that there was so much build-up to such an unsatisfying conclusion. Going back to the conspiracy episode, that episode had an incredible climax that just kept getting funnier and funnier as the layers were peeled away. This episode's climax, meanwhile, rests on a single act which, when completed, deflates the tension almost instantly. Its like an exercise in anti-comedy: 25 minutes of buildup followed by zero payoff. (or an organism where you time it wrong and do one of those disappointing half-cums)

As others have said, Matt Berry and the tag at the end were good, but the rest of the episode was pretty dull. I thought it would have been more interesting if the study group had ended up losing this round. On a related note, I'm quickly losing whatever affection I have left for these characters, which makes me sad. I don't know if they've really gotten substantially worse or if I'm just tired of them, but it's probably a bit of each. I'll finish out the season, and watch a movie if they make one, but I don't think I'm watching any more seasons if this zombie show continues to shuffle along next year.

I find Annie absolutely intolerable this season, which is odd since I liked her before .

I enjoyed it. I will say that when Leonard came out I got excited that the whole Greendale cast would create a long set of hurdles over several scenes a la "The Sting." That said, it was worth it to see him flip the bird.

I enjoyed it for the most part, could have done without the hot dog dance at the end. Loved the opening credits theme song, and Leonard flipping the bird.

It may just be me projecting but since listening to Harmontown I can see a lot of Erin (Dan Harmon's wife) in Annie. I'd need to go back and look for specific examples but that was a feeling I got.

Annie's the character that suffers the most from hanging around a community college her whole life instead of moving on, so they've had to lobotomize her a bit to keep her around. Plus Frankie kind of stole her wet blanket role.

It's a shame the order the characters had to leave, since in my mind it's almost a 180 from what would have best serviced the show. Also, deeply affected as it is, I wish they'd all just transitioned to jobs on campus like Jeff did. Then you can at least plumb more of the teacher humor, and not much in episodes like Meow Meow Beenz would really change (where MMB was a great doofy S3-esque episode).

What exactly do Annie and Abed do at Greendale these days? I'm still struggling to figure it out. And I'm assuming Elroy is a quasi-student?

Annie, Abed, and Britta's first four years of classes at an extremely lovely community college completely failed at helping them move on to anything better so they decided that the solution was to keep taking classes while volunteering to help "save the school."

One thing I've liked about this season is the fact that Greendale has classes on Ladders and Grifting. Overall i think the last several episodes just haven't been that funny though, but oh well.

I don't know how I could still be disappointed by an episode after the Honda cocksucking marathon, but it happened. 'Character development' has sanded off all the interesting bits from every character, and now even their retarded adventures aren't fun anymore. Oh no, the group got grifted out of a relatively small sum of money! Fortunately everybody's a sufficiently functional adult such that the problem was resolved in a timely manner. Hilarity does not ensue at all.

I still think Harmon was ready for the show to be over last season and just kept it going when they got picked up by yahoo because it would be dumb to turn down a steady paycheck and lovely to lose paychecks for everyone working on the show. After getting fired from the show once, losing core cast members and getting cancelled before a renewal sent them into a sixth season (which is past the expiration date for most shows), I don't think anyone can really fault him for being burned out, but it definitely feels like a passionless project at this point to me.

Doakes posted:Britta 1 Sure, but that's true for every episode of Community. This episode was a little like "The Sting", in that it had great music and felt like something truly amazing/hilarious was going to happen, but it wound up feeling anticlimactic. That said, this season as a whole has been pretty darned good overall, and not something that I regret watching.

Watched this weeks episode and it just isn't working out for me anymore. These last two episodes, they've been doing the sitcom/tv thing where they create some artificial and over the top "drama" and then paint all the characters one dimensionally. There doesn't seem to be continuity anymore and that's bad. Also the whole drifting thing was done really poorly.

This really is the most mixed season they've ever had. It's not just that there are good and bad episodes - it's that there can be islands of good scenes bookended by bad openings and closings. I've genuinely quite liked moments from this series - but I would say there have only really been two or three totally solid episodes so far, which is a real shame This season feels like it's suffered the most cartoonification. The comedy was always wacky, but now it feels so wacky in tone that nothing really actually matters anymore.

Try this link https://screen.yahoo.com/community/community-episode-9-grifting-101-070001340.html I wonder when they are going to announce if there are going to be any future Community projects. I'd rather them do another season instead of a movie, unless the movie could bring back old cast members. If the show ends with this season, I hope the last episode has a good ending.

Its well past time to put the old dog down. I said last year that the renewal was a mistake because everybody was tired of the show, and this season pretty much confirmed it. Harmon is tired. The actors are tired. The audience is tired. There's no more love for this show; and no reason to extend its suffering. Just cancel the loving thing already so that the actors and staff can move on with their lives.

I could have sworn I was finding these episodes funny and entertaining. You act like the 30 minutes you took to watch this episode would've been the 30 minutes in the future you spent loving Kate Upton and now that chance is gone forever. I think you need to calm down and go watch shows you like and post in those threads. edit: Didn't realize it was you with that new avatar, Irish Joe.
