One of the biggest unsolved Easter Eggs of the whole show is the secret identity of the ACB - the You-Know-What Bandit. Who is this masked jokester? Is it the ever loveable Abed? Everyone's favorite Dean? Who can't we trust? Today I am putting on my detective hat ro nab this perp once and for all!

*SIX SEASONS AND A FILM THEORY!*
MrSiriusAB now we’re just waiting for the Abed and Troy movie
@@nathanjoseph5449 I believe it's titled "Troy and Abed In The Morning"
UNBELIEVABLE
Sad but proud
MrSiriusAB when you think that to much till you see game theory
I literally binged every season of Community over the quarantine, and now there's tons of new content coming out about it. This is the Brightest Timeline.
X doubt
Yeah, pretty sure we are in the second or third worst timeline given we still don't have the movie.
We are all getting new content on Community because the world is ending, so yeah, I wouldn't be so sure.
Jagji56 it's getting brighter though, Donald Glover, who never wanted anything to do with Community since leaving, because he felt he needed to move on, decided to join the cast for a table read on zoom. He was on record saying he has gotten sentimental over the show now that he has kids. Maybe this, plus the show's newfound popularity might mean a movie is more likely than ever before.
POP POP
I like how you eliminated Pierce because he was in a wheelchair in season two, BUT NOT BECAUSE HE WAS DEAD IN THE EPISODE SURROUNDING THE ACB
Because Pierce’s death only was revealed with 5 minutes left on the show, of which he was unaccounted for in the rest of the episode, not to mention the rest of Season 5 before they bumped him off.
But think about it. If he wasn’t in the wheelchair in Season 2, Pierce would be the perfect candidate for this kind of prank. He’s childish, offensive and immature, and would likely do this sort of prank for attention or out of spite, not to mention he would have the endurance to hold a grudge for long periods of time. Plus, his time at Greendale means he would know faster ways around the school through shortcuts, maybe even outpacing Abed on regular routes.
@@tedioussugar384 in the end credits of the show, they state that more crackings continued to happen. This would be after Pierce’s death.
he's either off filling those sperm cannisters or already dead.
and because he didnt want to spoil the show even more for people who haven't seen it yet. figuring out who the ACB is isn't as big as a spoiler compared to one of the main characters freaking dying
@@tedioussugar384 He was unaccounted for but at the end of Cooperative Polygraphy, Mr Stone tells the Study Group he died filling those Sperm Canisters, so he was too... busy, at the time.
"Starburns is still locked in his cage being pelted by change." Never realized how insane that sounds outside the context of the episode lol
outside the context of community in general
more like being PELTON by CHANG

Still trying to figure out the question ‘Nicolas Cage: good or bad?’

I’m still trying to figure out what was happening. I better get What was happening: a critical analysis of what’s happening. We already know Angela’s the boss

I miss Leonard’s Food Review. It was Streets Ahead

@@plasmanova6275 Definitely a buy
I only just heard of a theory a couple days ago that Leonard is actually Jeff time traveled back from the future.
Kevin W stupid theories
@@krauser18x oh yea it's only pure fun silliness. like I think it's supposed to be based on literally just two different details, one being when Leonard accuses Jeff of eating all the macaroni and Jeff says "but I really DID eat all the macaroni, it's crazy that he knows that!" I forget what the other is.
this theory was streets ahead
Anyone who didn't like it is streets behind.
@@FilmTheory oop[
@@FilmTheory bazinga
The Film Theorists truly
The Film Theorists
You just Britta’d streets ahead
During the call the pause when the ACB says "I mean, get a room already" tells me it's Abed.
Britta says it quicker
Jeff says it slurred, a bit nonchalant
Annie was never cool, she couldn't pull it off.
Abed is the only one that pauses his sentences there.
Finally I see someone mention it. My first thought on hearing the call was: wait isn't that Abed
Was very monotone too
I personally always loved the idea that the ACB was actually all of them at different times. All cashing in on the mystery to serve a personal agenda and then hanging up the cape for the next person to use.
I love this one too! I feel especially Shirley towards the end would want the attacks to continue, as she's making lots of money from it (can't give change so charges $5 for sandwiches, starts selling t shirts etc)
This is my pet theory, except I think they don’t know that they’re all doing it. Abed starts it all, and other characters carry it on as things progress.
I still have to go by this theory. Also this video just assumes that its one of the group, it could be any student or staff memebr in the school
Yeah, he used Annie's shortcut theory to say that Abed was the only one that could've done, which I think was actually a setup to the idea that there were multiple bandits striking within a short span of time around the school. It's a bit like Chekhov's gun, because without assuming that's what the scene meant, the ending where 'anyone can be a suspect' comes out of nowhere, as the intent of the episode was to make everyone a suspect, but it's never brought up anywhere else. Also, Abed would never do that to Troy, but he might've been under the bleachers, because the only two characters I can imagine having night vision goggles are Abed and Buzzhicky.
That's more plausible than this theory
Imagine never watching the show and just hearing "Peirce dies at the end of the episode and Troy leaves on a boat with Levar Burton"
This theory is actually the reason I finally watched the show, so, that was me
And Shirley working for a disabled detective :)
@@wilsondillon7498 That was a show
And Pierce bequeathed everyone with his sperm.
E H Which ironically was the cause of his death.
Can you recreate Abed’s theory about how Angela was the boss in whos the boss
Easy. She's the mother, the employer and the owner of the house. She's ultimately in control of everyone under her roof.
It wasn’t a theory.
That wasn't a theory of Abed's.
However, I would love to see Mat Pat do a theory on the other issue: Is Nicolas Cage a Good or Bad Actor? Hmmmmm 🤔😁
@Cruising with Dr. Braxy Gilkey He's a cat. He's a sexy cat.
Will McLeer he destroyed the teacher
Okay but you missed one key thing. In the last episode of the show, right after Jeff brings up the bandit again, it cuts to Britta’s pitch for the next season. In which she says a very specific Dave Matthew’s lyric.
I thought she was typing something out in an episode admitting to it?
@@ech5915 that could be interpreted as a Freudian slip (as it says in this video), or as all her friends would say: “she Britta’d it”. Dan said the episode was written so that the ACB could be pretty much anyone.
Do you know what song that was from?
Well sorry Britta was alive in the 90s and had two ears attached to a heart.

So right
@@remmy3 Yeah, what happened?
Hahaha i was gonna comment this
Could've saved a lot of time of crossing out Britta. She'd Britta the whole thing and get caught in the act 🤣
EN Usman not mentioning that slipping coins down cracks is too funny for her to come up with
True
@@jackdavids2723 yea even if she did she'd be too proud to keep it a secret
Also, the acb’s height is a wierd factor to eliminate her for since we dont know for sure how tall the bookcase is and she could be wearing some wierd hat to make her taller.
But she brittad a simple frog prank, no way she could do it multiple times over the years and not get caught
Dude he needs the ad revenue
I think the reason Annie acts weird with the mention of the ACB is she knows who it is!
She was really close with Abed by the end and they lived together for half the series
It’s Annie! The season finale it’s all made clear
yeah thats what i was thinking when i first saw it. Its not her character to be the ACB but it is in her character to hid that truth if she knew if it was Abed.
yess
you make it sound like they dated but they only flirted in one episode cause abed acted like han solo and never again but yeah everybody loved each other as friends which im pretty sure is what you mean
@@neo_snipes_9925 I think they meant lived lmao
It was all of them at various points. This has been done TO DEATH in the Community Fandom. The truth is right in the ending montage. Troy and Abed did it for fun. Duncan for sexual gratification. Annie and Jeff to keep having their little flirty adventure. Finally, Britta, because she wanted to bring it back to write about in the school paper.
Yep. It's implied that it's more of a pandemic that everyone is getting in on for their own motives.
it would make the most sense actually, troy and abed just having fun works out, duncan 110% probably true and jeff and annies would make sense since they both have tension that should land jeff behind bars lol
Abed would've done it because everyone else was doing it, and he wanted to fit in (or experience what it was like first-hand, because that would be perceived as normal) as, indeed, Abed would've figured out everyone else was doing it, because he's special. Troy would not have done it, because he was victimized and that's a no-no area. Also, their doing things for fun bits don't harm others.
Honestly this should've been obvious from the get go. MANY characters benefitted from the crackings
Not quite right. We still dont know who the original ACB was. The one Annie referred to in the vote for school council episode. Unlikely it was anyone from the study group since if someone from the study group was an ACB they were a copycat.
I love this theory and am 100% convinced. I'm glad when Community gets a little love, it's a criminally underrated show. Great theory Matpat.
Widely considered one of the greatest sitcoms of all time... ‘criminally underrated.” SURE PAL.
Well, however in US "Community'' is known, but, for example, in Russia no one really knows about it's existence
И это очень грустно
@@sickboy1393 That's kind of what I mean. It's "well known" sure, but it's never really compared to the likes of The Office or anything like that
I'm British and have only heard of community through this episode

@@sleepylilwolf1749 Is the office good? I've never seen it. Ive heard it's good but...idk
In one episode Abed literally helps a pregnant lady and gives BIRTH to her child all in the background. Then later in the episode when asked what he did that day Abed simpler replies “meh not much.”
Also Troy asked him if he always goes on side adventures by himself and he responded that he does.
A few episodes later where Shirley gives birth, he mentions that he delivered a baby before on campus
When did this happen?
@@lor4504 The Psychology of Letting Go, episode 3 or 4 of Season 2. It's also referenced in Applied Anthropology and Culinary Arts when Shirley gives birth
@@lor4504 Wasn't it in the background while while the girls were oil wrestling? Something major like that in the foreground.
Also, for a split second when Jeff + Annie are chasing the bandit after Duncan gets cracked, you can see Abed in sprinting around the corner.
What no way?
Screenshot link? Time stamp?
My theory expands on yours: It was Abed from the beginning, and Annie actually figured it out on her own (hence the binder) but kept her solving it a secret so she could play detective with Jeff, using it both to spend more time with him and as an attempt to DTR. Then, she got carried away and teamed up with Abed to keep Jeff from solving it before she’d accomplished her goal, dragging the mystery along for her own ends.
It also explains her weird behavior in the last episode.
100% agree. It was heavily hinted in the episode that it could be multiple people- e.g., Annie took 20mins to hit all the spots of the previous 'cracking', yet a simpler explanation would be that there were multiple people who did it- Annie & Abed. Plus, the weird reaction she has in the final episode is a dead giveaway.
this makes perfectly sense since the movie "Zodiac" have different actors for "zodiac killer" in each scene (or maybe almost). since it was known back then, also in the movie and was confirmed on the recent findings on the zodiac's code, that some of the killings that were recorded to zodiac killer does not match up.
This is probably my favorite theory since I couldn't decide who it was between the two of them lol
YES! Exactly this! I always thought abed couldn’t have done everything on his own.
When the bandit talks through the phone, he suddently accelerates his talking, just like Abed does.
My personal theory is that there was more than one bandit, but Abed lines up. Though it does make you question whether Abed would quarter Troy.
Wiggins Iι Evil Abed maybe????
I think it was everyone but Jeff. Think about it, they ask had something to gain by doing it. Troy would get sympathy for being a victim, abed would have fun doing a bit, Annie would get closer to Jeff, and Shirley would get more money off of her sandwich shop.
Andy Villaveces What about Britta?
Britta had revenge on Troy to gain. He broke up with her not too long before that episode.
The movie might be coming out soon. The actors say they're interested. The Russo brothers say they're in. It's on Netflix now. There's a new podcast with Ken Jeong and Joel McHale, called The Darkest Timeline. I think that it might be made by Netflix.
What?! Yes please!
This is probably why Matpat made the video, he doesn’t cover topics that are irrelevant in any way shape and/or form. With very few exceptions.
@@themythicalfenyx1712 he made this theory BECAUSE community came back on netflix, he literally says that in the video and in the description of the video
With the corona virus we have to wait a little more...
Idk I feel like Harmon wants to give it the theatre experience
Abed literally never once in the entire course of the show says "I mean, ..." His speech is far too calculated for him to ever need to rely on that phrase like most people. Also, Dan Harmon, who wrote that episode, said himself that he deliberately wrote it so that it could be anyone. This question has no answer.
We need to find our inner abed and solve it
Congrats you just solved half of game and film theories. Solving questions that were never meant to be answered.
Takes the fun out of it
He also turned into Han Solo and kissed Annie, he can become basically anyone he wants
Dan also said it was Annie in an interview
I remember the first time I watched this episode I had to pause from laughing so hard at the Dean going "Abed you're special...cant you just stand at the crime scene and see what happened?"
thats definitly taken from Hannibal lol
Can confirm, us autistics can see the past
@@Eric-yj5xg more like Psych
@@tenerife_sea the guy in hannibal stands at the crime scene and replay how it happens so its pretty much like that
That bit reminded me of the fish guy named Abe in hellboy doing the object history thing
“Pierce can’t move around well in season 2.” Well, that and he’s dead in the ACB episode which would make it pretty difficult to be him.
Probably wanted to avoid spoilers
@@horsebox5138 and then spoil a ton in the end
He then proceeds to ignore the fact that Jeff and Annie were chasing the botany professor while a cracking was occurring, giving them an alibi too.
unless the death was actually a ruse and then he fled the country so he never actually died!
Grazed Death No he definitely died from collecting his sperm for his will
Jeff in season one: “I gave a quarter to a dirty bum today”
Yooo
I actually just posted a weird theory that started around that line.
I think there might be something with episode air dates. Specifically around the 25th day of a month.
Season 1 episode 2( 9/24/09) at 25 seconds the Dean announced that there's a homeless problem on campus.
Season 1 episode 5(10/15/09) at 6:25 Jeff tells Britta that he gave a homeless guy a quarter the other day.
Season 1 episode 8(11/05/09) at 10:00 Jeff tells Britta that in last 2 days he only spent a quarter.
A cracking may take place on the 25th of every month a season airs through. So I need to check S1 E6(10/22/09) for a foreshadow. He might have meant a couple of days ago as in episodes.
There's also the dorm across from abeds is 204. The door is weird as well, but Season 2 episode 4(204)(10/14/10) is the Caesar Rodney episode. E pluribus unum?
The dellaware state quarter was released in 1999 the same year Heat Vision and Jack released. Its also the first quarter the ACB used.
My fingers at Jeff, but Buddy and the cool Group are the real conspiracy.
Throw away thoughts are Anglo-Saxon revenge, superbowl 25( the stadium was demolished in 1999), Name meanings. Additionally Jeff stands in front of a peace poster in the S2 E8. Jeffery means gods peace.
He also knows pierce wears diapers
@@5tonsledge omg please make a video compiling all the evidence you get i am really invested in this theory now haha
@@lizzie-4011 yeah I went full Nick Cage. I ended up talking a break after chasing a bonanza connection. Ill mine more season 2 soon. I still need to check and see if the commemorative coins connection has more roots.
@@5tonsledge yo wtf calm down buddy you'll break your own self trying to _crack_ this case! Haha get it?.. ermm anyways, you actually have pretty good substantial evidence against Jefe.
I always thought it was Abed as he generally loses touch of reality and becoming the ACB was a way to “move the story along this season” as Abed would put it.
Also what ACB says about Annie and Jeff definitely sounds like something Abed would say
Right. He's not a coat rack.
I’d literally never heard of this until last week and I binged it all and finished it yesterday. I’m actually scared how even MatPat knows what I’m thinking.
Omg same, ever since I finished watching it I see it literally every where

Annies pretty young, we try not to accuse her.
lamo
even the original line is untrue, part of the running joke of annie being oversexualized
That’s not fair the Annie connection was pretty strong because Troy (she was obsessed with in high school and he never paid her no attention), Professor Duncan ( the Duncan theory she ruined it and he kicked her out), Garret ( Because Annie never really liked Garret) Then out of the munch she was the smartest to be able to make a pre audio to play at a certain time when she was in the clear, then in season 2 she was the only one talking about ACB so it looked like she did it to use for her political career because she has went to the extreme to get what she wants.
@@schemaricvg4221 And funny because wasn't Alison Brie something like age 26 when she first played Annie in S1 where the character is something like 18 at that point, or maybe 17
@@demonsavageleo9376
Annie isn't the type to hold a grudge for that long (Easily forgives Jeff numerous times) and would rather have the complete truth come out (Dog degree episode)
And I feel like the crackings aren't out of hate or revenge, no one outside of Pierce (who's dead) is stated to hate Vicki yet she gets cracked out of like 30 students in one podium
It's a statement of wrong place, wrong time and is in line with Abed's character
Edit: Also forgot that Abed was quite a computer wizard, being able to pull complicated programs out of a heavily coded game isn't really easy (Hilda episode)
Plot twist: it wasn’t a slip up or a realization, it was an awkward moment because Annie had said “her” instead of “she”

Me, knowing that Abed's handwriting matching is probably just a props person writing both pieces: Wow this is so true...
With the shows attention to detail, I imagine they actually had those pieces written by the actor. It would not surprise me if every hand written note in Community was written by the actor corresponding to the canonical author.
Creative Designation so true sounds like dan
knowing the show is willing to go the extra mile, i think they may thought of it
but the writers are just THAT detailed tho
@@creativedesignation7880 Or it could just Annie imitating Abed's handwriting to throw off suspicion from her. Annie would be smart enough to know about hand writing analysis and not to use her own handwriting if she was the one writing the notes.
Mat: "2 little humps in one continuous stroke"
Me: "Don't all people write m's that way?"
Exactly
The most damning piece of evidence that it is Abed is at the end of the episode when he is going through his DVR. The Episode is actually more of reference/parody/homage to Hannibal and, coincidentally in that scene, the Bridge. Abed is deleting the episodes, thus hiding evidence that this is the current homage he is doing
i love this
@Miguel Messina we are forgetting lunch lady
I still don't really know how I feel about the idea that's it's Abed. It makes a lot of sense and all, but at the same time, through the entire show Abed uses manipulation to have the people around him do his bidding. Why would he actually do the cracking when he could potentially get caught?
The parts where Annie seems to out herself could just be red herrings, or perhaps Abed was once again using manipulation to fulfil the homage. Rather than him actually doing the cracking, I wager he actually had the whole thing worked out with Annie, and the whole part about Annie and Jeff doing it to be close was actually an attempt to try and stop Jeff for digging deeper.
However, the scene where Troy gets cracked, I believe Abed did that himself. One because Annie has a huge crush and wouldn't want to, and because Abed would have felt an obligation. In season 2 Troy reveals he has never really had any pain in life, it's also possible he was in on it, using the acting skills he learned in season 2 when he faked pain to get close to Britta. I mean, his whole thing in the episode is pretty ridiculous and similar to when he is doing something sarcastically.
@@DeepFriedOreoOffline but like the video said, the bandit is 6ft tall or at least the one that cracked Troy
Remember what Batman said about Abed.
"That guy's pretty ruthless, and that's coming from Batman."
Wait a minute....
I actually have a separate theory that Abed is actually Batman. Might be nothing there though, who knows.

I litteraly just finished it yesterday!!!!!! This was perfect theory timing!!!!
I told you to stop that joke.
More like just Abed is mourning, Troy is...y'know... :/
We should look at the victims. Ian Duncan who was cracked last, created a experiment in season 1 based around the Duncan Principle. Abed was the last one to leave, and he later said in the episode he was livid. Garrett, was a friend to Abed, so he could have been a mislead. However, he joined Troys during the pillow war, so Abed could cracked him in revenge and Garrett didn’t participate in any of Abed projects throughout the rest of the season. Troy, was definitely a mislead, but I’m not sure about Vicki.
The reason why his yam is dead
@@josephnewsome2935 GENUIS
@@josephnewsome2935 But the the whole study group would be suspects
This is an underrated comment that has gotten me thinking. I never noticed that Garrett never helped Abed after this incident, though I’ll have to rewatch to make sure. All the motives line up and Troy could definitely be a mislead perhaps even being in on the whole thing which is why he was the only one who overacted to be cracked, something he would definitely do for Abed or as part of the whole theme of the bit/concept
Actually I might be wrong about garret not doing in any films through the rest of season 3. I think that the Troy and Abed in the morning with Annie, where Abed has a meltdown over a bedroom makeover, was after the pillow war.
I just gotta ask, who DOESN'T dot their lowercase i's? That's literally the difference between uppercase and lower case I.
it wasn't that he dots them, but Annie explicitly dots them with circles instead of dots
I’d like this comment but it’s at 69
I stopped dotting my I's since 7th grade I don't know why
I liked this comment both because I agree with you AND it's the 69th thumbs up. I guess people could use hearts as dots, instead? I also went through a phase where the dots were small circles instead of being filled in, so there's a bit of variation that could be done here.
im a No-Dotter...because in the context of the rest of the word, you can Definitely tell that its Lowercase (its shorter than, say, a 'Tt' or an 'Ll')...
one of those cracking "victims" could just be the ACB pretending to get cracked to shake suspicion off of them
what kind of monster puts a quarter in their OWN buttcrack?
Nick Cullen I do declare that I have been summoned ( country voice)
@Nick Cullen. What if they didn’t? What if they SAID they were cracked but weren’t?
Except you have no reason to believe that. You might as well say "It could have been a ghost".
@@slickestrick4117 it's what I would have done to throw people off. I just think the victim's were ruled out too early without bieng treated as proper suspects.

Just me, probably, yeah...
Glad someone else here is on the important stuff
Can you explain it please Dont get it
@@foxylost4172 Do you know what he's referencing when he says "MatPat theorizing in the morning"? On the show, two of the characters have a running gag of a morning talk show called "Troy and Abed in the morning," which they say in this cute, sing-song way. "Troy and Abed" has four syllables, and so does "Theorizing." So if he'd just said "Theorizing in the morning" it would've sounded perfect, but by sticking in the "MatPat" at the start it just sounds awkward to me :P
Yeah I noticed
But, it isn't exactly the right number of syllables, it is closer to "Troy and Abed and Annie in the morning" that time that Annie stole the show in the episode where they all went to "therapy".
If Abed isn't the acb, then it could be that he planted those notes to add drama. It seems like something he would do to make the acb more villainous and interesting.
There was a heavy hint that it was Annie.
Frankly, I'd be looking heavily into the goings-on of whomever Abed hired to mock up those visual aids. The handwriting match is too good to ignore.

That actually explains Annie’s reaction! By season 6, she has lived around 3 years with Abed, so it’s natural she could have discovered the true identity of the ACB. They probably talked about it, and Abed probably convinced Annie to not tell anyone. Then, when Jeff mentions the ACB in the last episode, Annie gets nervous about Abed’s secret and behaves weirdly.
It's either that or she thought that it just wasn't important anymore as Pierce died and Abed stopped doing it anyways. She might've even been worried that it would cause tension or that Abed would commit to the bit and possibly leave the group now that Troy was gone as well. Especially Abed promised her he stopped for good as he's known for keeping promises.
That or she felt bad about being so obsessive. Shr could still be trying to work it out in a creepy basement with pictures and red string. She is a little unhinged. She was evading the truth about her obsession.
It’s weird seeing community so popular right now. I’m happy to see it has lots of traction, and hope it lasts. We need a movie
spensimus I watched it in early 2018. I thought I was late to the viewing party but seems like I was ahead of the times
You youngsters don't know how good you have it. Original fans had to go through 2 cancellation scares and 2 real cancellations. And we had to watch the gas leak season while thinking it was the future of the entire series.
When I started watching it back in 2009 I never knew anyone else who was interested in watching so it's nice finally seeing people appreciating it!
Still think it’s Britta…😄 I think she was standing on something…also I think Anne found out when they lived together and that’s why she reacted that way, I also think the phone call sounds just like Britta!
yeah... it's britta... guess what asscrack bandit theme song?
and britta drop highchool to impress radiohead... so...
Makes sense
Huh? Didn't Britta live with Annie in the sixth season. This is so wrong
@@Akazainul yeah in season 5 Troy moves out and there’s an episode where Annie and Abed argue on whether Annie’s brother or Rachel should move in since they’re struggling with rent. Britta’s living situation isn’t mentioned at all but we know she’s not living there. Abed fits more as the ACB. Plus, Britta doesn’t really care for Jeff until the finale where they spontaneously decide to get married
nah annie would snitch on Britta, but she wouldn't snitch on Abed because they're closer. Annie goes along with Abed's weird ideas but she gets annoyed at Britta a lot
I honestly want a Community movie, but it just wouldn't be the same without hearing "shut up Leonard" after one of Leonard's jabs at Jeff.
They could have a little Easter Egg tribute, like a plaque saying “In Memory of Leonard Ramirez - may he never shut up”.
We at least need Magnitude’s “Pop. Pop!”
The only way I want a community movie is if Donald Glover and Chevy Chase were involved, and sadly I do not think that is possible (Mostly to due to Chevy Chase).

Took fucking long enough...
Idk man... it was our baby and I'm selfish

Wait it is? I had no idea but hyped as it is my favorite tv show as well! even the alst 2 seasons where most poeple I know fell of of it.
Also @Warlock how will it become basic now? The episodes are already out it would have to be basic already, popularity doesn't make something more basic xd

And crack people with gummy worms...?
"The gummy worm gambler" dosn't saund that bad
Hmm... true...
It was Abed but both Annie and Troy were in on it. Troy was with him from the beginning because they are best friends, and he sold getting cracked way too much. Annie on the other hand figured it out almost immediately, but she decided she wanted in so she could continue to work with Jeff and cause it was fun. Abed struck a deal with Annie that would have her act like the bandit to throw people off, and be the one to take the blame if it was ever figured out. Change my mind
YES it makes sense. And Annie has several reasons to go along with it, but I'll add the reason that she would want to protect Abed and Troy from punishment if they were caught.
The loss of Donald Glover in Community was more of a tragic event than even The Red Wedding. You can quote me on that.
Why compare it to the red Wedding, when there was a better example all along.. the last season was undoubtedly a more tragic event than the red Wedding. Red Wedding Killed some of our favorite characters, last season killed the show
@@Valli0o you should rewatch. It is actually amazing how good s5 and s6 are. Even s4 can be funny because of cast chemistry
NGL, I stopped watching after Donald left the show 🤷🏾♂️
I agree, Euclid. I still watched all of the series, but it did loose something tangible after season 5's Hot Lava episode. The rest of the season was good, just not as great. And then season 6 wasn't very good. There were 3 or 4 episodes that I loved (Underground Paintball!!), but the rest of it was just...good.
@@Valli0o I get what you're saying, and yeah, metaphorically that'd be a better thing to use. But in this case, I was referring specifically to Glover leaving as a "tragedy", just as the Red Wedding was a "tragedy". I tried to make it more a direct..uh..1:1 tragedy issue instead of going all meta on it.
EDIT: I just now realized I wrote "Glover living" instead of "Glover leaving" being the tragedy. Oh, how that changes things drastically.
So glad everyone watched the same show this week cause of Netflix

I was always partial to the theory where a couple of them did it. That each crime was committed for their own reasons, but they hid it under the bandit’s name. It would explain why Annie was nervous, because she committed some of the crimes. I also think that Abed wouldn’t crack his best friend. But he would crack people under the bleachers sort of in retaliation against the school. There’s a lot of interesting theories out there, but I like your approach.
Yeah, I always thought it was generally accepted that everyone did it at least once. Like how to crackings occured across campus within a short amount of time? Two different people did it.
and then there's the ending where Jeff says "maybe he'll be back", and Annie says "or her". It almost insinuates that both of them have ties towards being the ACB
Yeah, I prefer this approach to the theory. Abed being the bandit is just not very satisfying since he is the most obvious suspect.
KYesth-cam.com/video/oT6aLBBRhGA/w-d-xo.html
see i agree. i do however think that abed probably wrote the notes and did a lot of the other stuff to drop red herrings. because that would get his study group involved and also doing that is what makes it like a show. he probably did troy because he set up the bear, if i remember right, it had one of the notes in it.
For me, the “I mean get a room already” line toward Annie and Jeff solidified Abed for me. Despite the voice change, I recognize Abed’s instigative sitcom tone in that comment. I have loved this show for years. Been raving about it for a long time and people never knew what I was talking about. Feels good seeing others enjoy this cult gem now.
Im will always stand by my stance that abed and annie would be a PERFECT couple if you don't believe me then watch s5 e9
@@victoriabowman1397 no they wouldnt. Jeff and Annie has qualities that balances each other out perfectly and they complement each other so well. Annie makes Jeff become a better version of himself, a version that has a heart and a version of him that's actually happy while Jeff makes Annie less stressed and less uptight so that she can enjoy life more. Despite Jeff's flaws and his personal demons, Annie chooses to see through all of the bad stuff and tries to see the good in Jeff, and the fact that Jeff is a selfish jaded asshole, Annie still wants Jeff because she does truely love him. Annie's relationship with Abed is more of a mother/big sister relationship, but Jeff and Annie has something special, they both love each other very much but Jeff finally let himself feel the love for Annie at the end of season 5, but he knew he couldnt have her because he thought that she was too good for him and that he'll ruin her life and at the end of season 6 it turned to him thinking that he'll hold her back. Because of his insecurities and personal demons, I think he'll be the perfect boyfriend for Annie because he would want to change for Annie so that she can have the boyfriend she deserves
@@victoriabowman1397 Abed and Annie?! Um... Abed is either with Troy, Rachel, or nobody.
@@laurenberry7750 Abed + Troy 4 ever ❤
@@d.c.8828 why did i sing this in my head
To back up your case about Abed being the ACB: it is confirmed that Abed himself doesn't like Jeff and Annie's romantic entanglement.
In season 4 episode 1, History 101, we get a glimpse into Abed's 'happy place,' which is the idyllic TV show taking place inside his mind. In that 'perfect world,' Jeff and Britta kiss, not Jeff and Annie.
Plus, later in season 4, we see a scene from the darkest timeline, where Annie gets released from the psych ward and Jeff says he wishes that him and Annie's age gap was bigger than it already was, which reveals that Abed is disgusted by their age gap.
Additionally, in Virtual Systems Analysis in season 3, Abed gets mad at Annie for playing matchmaker with Troy and Britta because that would 'tamper with the fabric of the group' (granted, Abed had other, more personal reasons to be mad at Annie in this episode, but this was part of it.)
Hence, Abed bringing up Jeff and Annie's relationship may have been genuine; he wants Jeff and Britta to be together, not Jeff and Annie, because Abed assigned Jeff and Britta the 'mom and dad' role early in the series. So that call was a chance for him to express his disdain for Jeff and Annie's relationship without receiving ridicule for doing so, while directing the blame toward Britta at the same time.
What if it’s none of the main cast members?

Annie's reaction in the finale (aside from it being tossed into the script, I guess) was probably more of a "trying to hide my frustration" thing. Because she was a forensics student, always one of the most intelligent in classes, and pretty neurotic about losing or not understanding things. The Bandit was probably the one case she could never let go of because they'd bested her.
Nope it was her. The keys “under the mat” Annie knew everything about the school especially the teachers lounge and she was acting out because of Jeff
I thought she was embarrassed because of the awkward tension between her and Jeff in that episode
Body language wouldn't suggest it was her, but rather she knew who it was. I like the Abed theory and they did live together, as we know from the clip episode of clips we never saw, the show continues even when we aren't watching. So who knows what conversations and slip ups has happened in their time living together.
@@epistolarydreams7555 what if Annie and Abed worked together? Both with their own motives? Annie to get close to Jeff and Abed to connect with people.

Danm.....
Must be a hint... How old is abed?
David Villamil he’s 25 at the end of the show
In a later script, it states that Annie was probably the ACB. I believe one of the producers confirmed
Just an idea: maybe the reason Annie was acting odd in the finale was because she knew it was Abed and was trying to hide it (she may have figured it out or Abed may have confessed to her at some point). She may have been trying to protect him knowing it wasn't malicious in nature
Or she was so obsessed with the crime that it made her crazy
thought the same
Lee Sure
I thought she was just remembering how close she and Jeff got
@@Mrmehaaw She may have already been crazy. According to the results of Britta's psychology quiz (as seen in Season 3 Episode 5 "Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps") all of the members of the study group except for Abed (and possibly Jeff, since he filled out his quiz randomly) are sociopaths.

You should watch the theory on Abed and Jeff. It’s amazing
We're getting the long awaitrd movie
Maybe this will be how they set up the movie
The movie’s premise is abed directing a movie about the study group
Hey, MatPat, in regards to the motive, let's not forget the Scream rule: just because an alibi exists does not mean innocence. There could have been a partner that was doing the attacks when the other ACB was establishing an alibi.
“We all go a little mad sometimes”. - Anthony Perkins, Psycho”
Except now look back at the prime suspect. Someone who uses his turning of the world into movies and shows to better understand it. He loses that if he lets someone in on it. So it's highly unlikely that he allowed someone else in or would have accepted an invitation to be in on it.
And everyone else doesn't fit together as potential partners, covering for each other, especially with the one guy who is caught for it admits he did it for a deal.
@@justinalicea1590 except that very same play was also used in the Scream movies. Part of the first movie is a breakdown of horror movie tropes by a film buff, and while he isn't one of the killers, it does fit with this as they are effectively playing out horror and mystery tropes in both. Going by your logic that he might not want to include anyone else on the prank, consider that girl's reactions that MatPat mentioned. While she may not have been the one doing the prank, there's no concrete evidence to suggest she wasn't in on the joke. If she was, since she was basically leading the "investigation", she could have easily been trying to derail the investigation as she would have been just as guilty in the act.

Now this is a man that knows how to marry his cousin
Not to mention, who is the most likely character to own a pair of night-vision goggles? (evident in the bleachers' scene when we experience the perspective of the ACB)
the way he holds the coin before cracking garret too, we have seen abed do that motion with his hands before quite often
oh! thats a good one!
But his roommate would also have access to the goggles
@@Seanlkins His roommates would be Troy and Annie. It's not Troy, because he got cracked. It's not Annie, due to her handwriting, not recognizing Dave Matthews, and her reaction in Duncan's office, and seeing the bandit in the hallway at the end of the episode.
What if this is like a scream situation where there’s two bandits? Annie and Abed
This all makes sense, except Mat Pat doesn't acknowledge that the ACB could be multiple people. Shirly, writing the notes and can't help but mention God; Britta, sees how close Jeff and Annie are getting; Prof. Duncan, providing the quarters and access to the teacher's lounge; Annie, learns about the group working together but keeps it a secret (maybe being blackmailed by someone), therefore looking guilty when the ACB is mentioned again; Hickey, learned about Dave Mathews from Duncan and is therefore able to identify him later on in the show. It could be Abed, or maybe Abed is just pulling the strings on a massive conspiracy that keeps everyone on their toes.
Forehead Overlord nice theory, Hot Fuzz style
Like when they did secret paintball but it’s just within their circle. I love that
Exactly. the problem with matpat's theory is that he is convinced there was only one ACB when there are many evidence pointing to multiple people being in on it.
Word... Like a wild acb secret society!!! Lmao... American Vandal style!!!
Or Abed could be doing all this and Annie figures it out. Thus the reaction
I'd even say that the comment over the phone about Jeff and Annie's team-up was _appropriately_ meta.
plus abed has had some "moments" with annie lol
After I saw the episode I was 100% convinced that it was a group effort. When Jeff and Annie chased after the bandit they rounded the corner and found Shirley and the prices at her sandwich shop went up after the coin ban. I think it'd be pretty hard to figure out everyone involved, but I still think it was a group effort from several people who all had deep motives.
Same, I thought it was a big scheme to get more cash to Shirley’s sandwiches or the school or something
Yeah same
That’s what I think too. This theory would explain Annie’s strange behavior despite other evidence not matching, she easily cracks under pressure (fake ID at the bar - Troy’s birthday) and would act strange when the topic comes up , maybe she had that notebook of evidence and articles because she was trying to determine who the other bandit(s) is. Abed could have joined in to add to the chaos and make it more movie-like. Duncan also acted weird so he could also be involved. Multiple people could be involved but they don’t know who the others are so they don’t coordinate with each other and could crack one another.
exactly! at the end of the episode there’s a montage showing how it benefitted all of them. i don’t think doing all of this fits any one character
I always thought it was group or countless anons tbh but the abed theory does sound possible though with abed we'll never know
The attention to detail and hidden secrets in this show is INSANE! In season 6 Buzz Hickey disappeared without an explanation but an email discussing his funeral was briefly shown in the episode where everyone's emails were leaked

I also questioned this when it was said. She could have a split personality where she normally is just Annie (I love Allison Brie) we know, but then she could have a dark half that does things that she doesn't know is being done. People with split personalities each personality can write differently, too. But, if it is only one person, the height thing kind of takes her out of the running.
@@honolulublues5548 I also thought Annie would be way too smart to use her own handwriting, especially after Chang called her on it in season 1 or 2 (I think). But yeah, the height thing is kind of a big deal, although the way she reacted in the last episode is really fishy...
And especially for Annie that would be sooo out of character. Because she never keeps notes on anything she does.

Obviously, I'm glad more putting are watching the show now and its getting all the praise it deserves. But, nothing was more satisfying then discovering a new friend or co-worker was also a fan of the show. It felt like we were all in some sort of a secret club together and only people willing to pay for Hulu knew about it.
I love this show immensely and every time MatPat mentions it I feel joy. Thankfully now that it's on Netflix he feels safe enough to make a video about it for people to watch.
for me, the biggest shame about people only just now discovering the show on Netflix is that they can't experience the metatextual through Netflix's binge model;
the chart-able chronology between episodes and airdates,
the jokes about Harmon's contentious relationship with NBC and Sony,
the direct references to how fans reacted to events in the series
a lot of those jokes can be spotted by later viewing public, but there is a special feeling to experiencing it in the moment

Isn't Annie with Jeff when Duncan gets cracked? She runs to tell Jeff that the ACB is Duncan, and seconds later Duncan gets cracked. Also, Annie is the kind of person who would WANT to solve the case, she wants the gold stars and the A+ so it doesn't make sense that she would do it and never solve it - and Annie wouldn't frame an innocent person (see dog episode where she almost transfers). I buy the Abed theory.
Duncan never got cracked. He faked it to divert suspicion from himself. He’s the quintessential serial killer. Dissatisfied with his life and powerless, he needs the rush of cracking people to give himself purpose and the sense of control.
We lost sight of Annie in the dance fog, she could have cracked Duncan then yelled, "there he goes!" As a distraction.
@@Applest2oApples
"Dissatisfied with life and powerless"
Describes a huge number of people in the show
Annie's motivation was spending time with Jeff. She's clever enough to pull it off and has access to the staff room as mentioned in season 2 episode 1 where she tells troy that the cleanest bathrooms are in the teachers lounge
Nah, it was Annie. We know from their psych evals that Abed is the only non-psychopath. And once he saw how much Troy was hurt by the cracking, he would have fessed up. (Like when he stopped Troy from running into the cartoon tunnel). Annie is clearly a sociopath who often obsesses over perceived sleights (the pen) and takes things too far (breaking the Batman DVD).
Screen writer: Says Annie is the ACB
Mat Pat: I don’t think so

rule #1 in a murder mystery: EVERYONE is a suspect. even the victims. especially the victims
ParanoeX In a murder mystery the victims would be dead, so maybe other kinds of mysteries like this one.
What if there are multiple victims, is it the most recent one or were they murdered from beyond the grave? Scratch that, that would be a great mystery
TH-camWatcher 9000 not to spoil anything, but in one specific and very famous Agatha Christie novel, the murderer DID end up being somebody who was an early victim who was just never dead in the first place so there is precedent for the victims to actually be suspects in murder mysteries
@@TH-camWatcher9000 There are tons of movies where one of the victims was declared "dead" but later revealed to be the murderer to avoid suspicion!
Luna van Kallen I guess so, but i was thinking more like they found the body and they are still the murderer, not just assumed to be dead. Are there any movies like that because if there are I’ve never seen it.
I think they were all in it. Abed and troy started it but troy had to take one for the team bc always something up with those two (and the group overall, something the other students at greendale always point at)
They all know but they got something from the bandit so they didn’t say anything, shirley got the money, britta gets something to write her paper on and annie gets to spend time with jeff (tho she def was the last to find out or maybe she finds out later but never says anything bc she can’t snitch on her friends).
Jeff is the only one that never finds out and that’s why he’s the only one still intrigued
