I thought the opening scene with the frisbee collapse was pretty uncomfortable considering how tragic real life roof collapses tend to be.

Did you have similar issues with the pillows & blankets civil war parody?

Is there a targeted time or is he allowed to vary by a few minutes to whatever the episode suits now?

I'm pretty sure they've said in interviews that while they aimed for their usual length, there are a few episodes this season that ended up being a few minutes longer.

That's on Netflix with the tall black dude with a giant Afro? I tried to get into that but couldn't. What episodes is he in?

It's also originally a podcast.

I remember being annoyed that they never addressed the fact that Abed (1) was a competent filmmaker and (2) never would have released a film that didn't meet his lofty standards.


What?

Competent filmmaker?

Maybe I'm the worst too, but what movie was abed referencing at the end of the episode?

A Few Good Men.

I would have liked it if Chang stayed famous. The show's ending anyway, let him have a weird, undeserved happy ending to go with the "life doesn't have obvious messages" message.

He may not be a celebrity, but I thought he kind of got a happy ending at the end of this episode, to some degree... at least compared to back when he desperately wanted to be a part of the study group, but was ostracized by them. He said earlier in the episode that he didn't have anything to go back to at Greendale, but he was able to go right back into the group and fit back in without a word spoken about it by anyone.

e: actually Six Candles might be his best one ever. Shocking if true.

Well, aside from the movie from this week's episode. The audience did seem to enjoy it.

Darkplace is amazing. And actually, it and Heat Vision and Jack always kind of struck me as similar.

Comedy post on a comedy show thread on a comedy forum. Yes, I was completely serious about wanting to watch Alison Brie sleeping and not using humor to convey how much a fan I am. Nope.

PS: to those who have a sandy vagina about people being attracted to Alison Brie:


I bet this is exactly the sort of thing that John Hinckley Jr would have been posting about Jodie Foster if the internet had existed in 1981.

It was called Puttin' On The Hits. Back then, it was dumb and crappy. Now, it is Tonight Show level comedy.

There is a pretty big difference between watching randoms lip-sync earnestly and watching celebrities do it ironically.

I don't quite think it's all that ironic. They seem to be doing it earnestly for the laughs.

I probably should have said "in a self-aware way" instead of ironically.

If you can find it, watch Joel McHale's attempt at a US IT Crowd. He plays the normal (non-Moss) guy. The actor from the UK version plays Moss still. It's awful.

It's pretty bad and pointless, but it's nowhere near as bad as US pilot of Spaced.

As someone who can't stand most actual play podcasts, TAZ is a delight. The first episodes are rrrrrough, but by the time they get to Klarg and Barry Bluejeans it starts to take off.

Is it still worth starting from the beginning, or is there a good jumping-in point later?

Well I'm on episode 4 of The Adventure Zone now, I liked it from the start, so I'm hooked!

It probably helped that I've never listened to MBMBaM, so I was getting to know the players over the first couple of episodes.

I remember being surprised that he still ended season 6 with the #AndAMovie stinger considering how obviously he was sick of it all by then.

He's said that he wants to do the movie in a few years, when he has an idea that will justify it and when the cast is up for it. So with that in mind, I can see him wanting to keep that door open.
