heh…i honestly don't believe this is the case, at least not the douchebag part (nor was i calling torontonian one)

fine, agreed

ok, let's go back, without meaning to be an asshole, my basic point is… that by the comments here one would think we were talking about a soap opera instead of a comedy, and a pretentious soap opera at that

nevermind, i thought you would have understood the whole conversation before bringing your downvoting impulses… i forgot disqus is tailored to herd instincts, my bad

why downvote when you can make a pointless comment about wanting to downvote right? congrats

MY EMOTIONS!

Heeeey, no reason to take it personal… so would that be a no to the campaign thing?

No, sorry to make you all excited, you are just an example of the VanderWerffian school of sitcom overanalysis.

oh wow "friends with benefits dynamics with a layer of experience", such intricacy … makes me start preparing for a letdown episode… it's like you want dan harmon to become a pretentious douchebag

something is off when you have to rationalize things like this… this is not a sci fi show or a psychological drama you know

yes, i didn't find the jokes that bad this time, but i agree about the characters part, i think that there's a confusion in people that see the show as a character driven comedy (this stresses plot and dramatic moments too much and has led to the current situation), it's meant to be a comedy with good (and original)

yeah, but i think he should remain the main character (or the main perspective toward what' happens at greendale, which is a mocking perspective), otherwise this season will feel like an epilogue to the rest and jeff winger as a character will become kind of "blurry" if you know what i mean

what the hell are you talking about lol

pretty good unpretentious, not cloying episode…i'm getting used to this "darker", more adult version of community which corresponds to the characters reaching their final stages in greendale… these are good foundations for the show and now it only needs to come up with genius level jokes again, for now they were good

that's right, she realized she was phony as the rest of the group made fun of her hipocresy, that was the origin of a lot of great jokes in the great season 1 but doesn't mean it established the show as being "about improvement" … if anything it established that britta was a good target for satire, a good source of

hey, thanks for linking this! i needed a brain cleanse after the Werff

nothing of what you're arguing matters, it is not community's goal to be a "plot and characterization comedy"… it's goal is to be funny and it gave expectations of being funny through parody and satire, which means sharp jokes about flawed people, institutions and other tv shows and movies, which requires good

yup, and not only about the characters but other observations about american culture and film culture…

well, most of the time that abed is funny in those seasons its also insightful in the way it hints at asperger's without labeling him (thinking of his first documentary or when troy wants to drive jeff's car and abed's listening to them in the back), the jabs at britta are also hilarious and spot on, they are

Don't agree… I hate to diss community especially at this point but those callbacks are just empty fan service, they mean as much as the word GAG… it would be better for the show if we expected more of it I mean c'mon the jokes in season 1 or 2 were like time bombs that got planted inside your brain and you would
