Hard Drive and Wing Man is up there among the hardest I've ever laughed at this show, especially with the Harmontown reference. I'm hoping the insanity level stays this high.

Did anyone else notice the picture of Harmon in the speakeasy with "DO NOT SERVE THIS MAN"?

Oh is that who it was? I paused it for a few minutes trying to figure out who it was.

Paintball episode is just going to be a team building exercise where they go to the local range and play paintball.

Frankie is a great addition.

Elroy should've Winger'd that candy price speech. I don't find him believable as an oblivious old guy.

I'm sure the season is ramping up to a campus-wide revolt against the study group (Leonard, Garret, Vicki, etc) . I'd be okay with an "against impossible odds" Aliens/300/Zulu/Blackhawk Down/Fury paintball battle.

Frankie is pretty awesome. It seems like they are taking random bits from the main cast and tossing it into her as an amalgam of some sort. She has Jeff's pessimism when talking about hope, and even talks about it in a Winger manner. She has Annie's crazy organization and drive, and even some of Abed's interpersonal skills. So far it seems that Annie has butted heads with her over these traits, so I wonder if other characters will start to have conflict as well.

As for Elroy, I didn't seem him as trying to be oblivious. On screen that was like the first or second time he had even seen or met Annie, so the whole "were you close?" thing actually makes sense. I think the most interesting part of this season will be how they fold those two into the group and what crazy things we discover about them.

Also, there was already an anti-study group episode, I prefer the background jokes to a full on episode let alone a season arc.

I don't know if it's even possible to bring Chang back after season 3. He went full-on cartoon character psychopath. Everything since then seems like awkward dancing around that elephant in the room.

Then again, I missed season 5. Did they satisfactorily address it in season 5?

He has Changnesia.

Given that the book was next to a bunch of meds, I thought it was a hint that she might have trouble sleeping, hence a super-long, boring book.

Well, she only rests half her brain at once, so maybe she needs a couple reads to let it all sink in.

Dan Harmon on @midnight was hilarious. The clown penis line of jokers really could have gone for an hour and it would have been quality programming.


OTOH: one of the speed games was "cancelled show pitches" where you had to name a show that was doomed to be cancelled. One of his jokes was, "probably Community... again." Needed a sad trombone sound effect.

"It's like Community, but people watch it!"

The part that got me the most was Annie and Jeff griping about their age and their obligations to normative social roles, followed shortly by Annie saying "I'm in my 20's, who cares?"

Allison Brie is 32.

Do yourself a favor and never look at the age of the actors playing high schoolers in any tv show or movie ever made.

Kraskinski, Brie, Arnett and Hathaway have definitely been the most entertaining of the results.

Emma Stone absolutely killed it on the Tonight Show, would love to see her have a whole show.

gently caress, everyone related to this show is bad at communicating with each other. Yahoo spoke out against what Joel said and stated their in negotiations. Community manages to get cancelled every season but will apparently resuscitate equally as much.

If anything, that's a negotiation tactic on that part of Joel and the cast. If Yahoo really wants a season 7, they are going to have to pay up. I honestly think the biggest hurdle would be getting Dan Harmon to write it.

Jim Rash and Ken Jeong will still be in things. At least Rash also has some writing cred. Brie can make the jump to movies. Jacob will have roles on TV for a while I imagine. Sadly Danny Pudi is the only guy I don't see having a regular gig somewhere else.

I really don't think Allison Brie has much to worry about in the long term. 110 episode of Community, 38 episodes of Mad Men, and ongoing main character in BoJack Horseman will likely pay the bills for a long time to come.

She has a Trainwreck style rom com with Jason Sudeikis and lots of other people coming out soon too.

This Sunday the NFL game in London will be streamed exclusively on Yahoo. Can't wait for that debacle.
