This is why S1 is the best season IMO. The other seasons may get wild with off-the-wall concept episodes, but S1 did the best job of combining the craziness with genuine heart. One of the best seasons of TV ever.
What's great about this scene is the Jeff-Annie relationship seed starts getting planted, very subtlety, two episodes before this and so this is the big payoff of that little trilogy, setting the course for the rest of the show. What I also love here is that Whitman thought he knew a life chang-ing kiss when he saw one (Britta kissing Jeff so he could seize the day), but it left Jeff unimpressed and underwhelmed. Here, with Whitman present, Jeff experiences what truly is a life changing kiss and is left speechless and dazed. #andamovie
The first episode where the chemistry between Annie and Jeff was so palpable it was impossible to ignore. It immediately made me stop rooting for Jeff and Britta.
I never liked Jeff being with Annie. 🤮 In my mind (and hopefully in the #AndAMovie!), Jeff and Britta ended up getting married and they now have three kids. And for some crazy reason, Annie was still a little infatuated with him but then her and Magnitude had an amazing night in DC during a convention and everyone is getting together because they are getting married on New Year's Eve (Pop Pop!!). 😁
Sadly when they went with the Annie Jeff stuff they turned britta into a parody of herself, Troy became nothing but Abed's friend, and Pierce lost any redeemable character traits. The writing just progressively got worse, as happens when show's bring on new writers every season and move away from the original concept. Same here.
@@jasontibbetts9981 I agree for most part. Troy became much more stupid and annoying but he still was hilarious and sometimes had good intellectual moments. Britta got dirty, she's by far the worst character. Yet season 2,3 a lil bit of 5,6 are remarkable part of tv and are so good. Also going back few weeks ago and watching some episodes again for idk which time I finally realized that many episodes are not only hilarious but also great character study, showing real flaws and how the study group grows. Some good morals are in these episodes.
They both forced each other out of their comfort zone. Annie forced Jeff to take things seriously and put in effort while Jeff forced Annie to "go off script".
This scene demonstrated what community was capable to do and go off book as in not your typical school drama shows. Kinda like that gaara vs rock lee scene that got you even more hooked in the series.
I was so confused the when I saw the scene of debate makeout without any context. But the brilliance of this show is so commendable that I keep on watching Community every so often just for the zingers they put out.
It was episodes like this that made community in the beginning. I mean, everyone loves the DnD and Paintball episodes and some of the more high concept episodes like the stop motion Christmas episode, but I always thought the show was at its best when it dealt with more 'schoolish' stuff like this and the wearing shorts to pool episode.
This is one of the most poetic and impactful scenes in television history. The dichotomy and the paradoxical characteristic of their opponents is so surreal yet true. Its the epitome of intellectual. Community might seem like a fun goofy sitcom on the outside but truly it is one of the most intellectual shows ever made !! It talks about practically everything in life!
I only watched it a few times, but I'm pretty sure that the reaction that Pierce, Shirley, Troy and Abed have to Jeff catching Simmons, and then Jeff dropping Simmons, is the exact same clip.
I love that Jeff is actually sitting on the table. Then when the wheelchair dude starts coming over, that's when Jeff stands up, to protect Annie. Then of course because Jeff is ,"good" he stays there to catch the guy.
This is the song that plays towards the end: Home by Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeroes. Community introduced me to it and I used to listen to it on repeat. th-cam.com/video/T_eaP31BhtU/w-d-xo.html
Community S1 is one of the best seasons of TV of all time. I love the whole show, but none of the other seasons nail the combination of comedy and genuine heart the way S1 does. Absolutely stellar. I am so happy that Ludwig Goransson went on to have such a great career; his score for S1 was magical.
I wonder what the context is behind 'Ketchup is a vegetable'. Edit: I just found out today (13 September 2024) that it's a Reagan era reference regarding then nutritional guidelines for school lunches; the standards were so low they had to classify ketchup as a vegetable. Thanks John Oliver from Last Week Tonight!
@@westonstoler977 That's not how it works. We aren't in Sunday School class. If you were in a debate and you tried to use that logic when someone pointed out that you misattributed the quote, you would be laughed out of the room.
@@westonstoler977 And by making ridiculous attempts to justify ignorance of the Bible, you are making those of us who believe in it and take it seriously look stupid.
For reference, he is probably referring to Jesus speaking to the Rich Young Ruler in Matthew 19 when Jesus says (KJV translation), "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God ..." So, similar sentiment, but not the exact correct verse reference, I agree.
Yeah honestly when you break down the entire debate it's a giant joke. "Ketchup is a vegtable." Lol. Granted the debate being a bunch of BS fits completwly considering how pathetic Greendale is as a school.
The wheelchair guy gambled a lot on Jeff having good reflexes. I know a lot of speech and debate members that would have completely dropped or been tackled by the dude.
@@areligaming6263 Well when he was in his thirties she was like 18...but I still think they were good together. She was far wiser and more emotionally and morally mature than her age would suggest, which in my opinion offset her youth. And her positive influence on Jeff (and his on her) is undeniable.
I’m confuse about 2 things in the debate: 1) How does Annie kissing Jeff made them win the debate? 2) Instead of the kiss, why she didn’t point out the opponent’s action, an action that leads to harm, proof that “Man Is Evil”?
I was reading a paper on behavioural science in which the assumption that humans are fundamentally selfish is debated. Soon as I read it, I dropped the paper and now I am here hahah
Why? Her notebooks? The test of courage is not lack of fear. It’s overcoming it. The rest of choosing goodness is not lack of human vices and failings. It’s overcoming them.
Btw, i think i found a loophole in the opponents logic in the beginning, snow fell down pure and was soiled by the earth, so by this analogy man came from heaven good, but was soiled by the earth and man is now evil.
If you look at the composition and pacing of this scene, while it's not an exact match, it looks like a precursor for the pivotal scene in Avengers: End Game.
That kiss was strategic and joyless
What!?
…Yeah!
She took that kiss for the team!
@@lightningpastry2153
What?
@@TheAwesome45 Basically Annie is a bit of a psychopath. She toyed with Jeff's feelings here to get that win.
The Shirley repeatedly tapping on Abed's shoulder shouting his name always gets me ahahahah
Coz Abed predicted this!
Pierce's face 😂😂
I wouldn’t say “shouting”
@@user-sd6ts9go4bomg I never noticed his face before 🤭🤣
Only thing missing is Garret’s CRISIS ALEART
Him ripping up the notes and tossing them is some A+ physical acting
As someone who did debate in college, this will always be my favorite episode.
For those that went to college, the whole series hits harder. Still can't get over how brilliant they made a registration joke into Modern Warfare.
Same I watched this episode for the first time at a debate tournament
@@shindean Well... To be honest, any campus would go crazy for a prize like that
@@xJ4R3x Mine too. 6 day weekend for a whole semester? And I had two jobs, I would've drawn blood for that break.
I'm in a debate class right now, so I had to come here for inspiration 😸
I love how excited Shirley was to hear Jeff quote Jesus 😂
😂😂
Definitely. For all that the scene was mostly about Jeff and Annie, everyone else really brought it.
Well, except for Britta. She's the worst!
Except Shirley should have known that he was actually quoting Paul (who was himself quoting two Psalms attributed to David)
“OHH that’s nice 😊”
This scene sold me on the series. Absolutely genius.
Literally same. This episode made me realize that this would be a good show (It's my fav now)
Absolutely iconic scene and what an amazing episode
This is the episode where community came into it’s own imo
agree
Foolproof tactic by Annie cuz it will 100% work on everybody all of the time
Yes, whenever you want someone to drop the paraplegic student they are carrying, just start making out with them.
I have never seen this fail to work.
Just if other person is gay
No. Be like bitch wtf are you doing? There's a person who can't walk in my arms.
@Hannyabal And id loose everytime
@@aalapv8128 Depends on the gender of the other person. If it's a gay woman then it'll definitely work
2:58 Jeff's reactions are just priceless. His facial expressions always get me in scenes like this.
The greatest argument for man being evil: "Ketchup is a vegetable"
Almost as good as “Apu from the Simpsons”
The funny thing is that if you don’t know the actual story behind it, it just sounds like a random joke
yeah but tomatoes are in reality a fruit so kind of s dumb argument
@@ailuosi7241Ketchup is a Jam, i rest my case.

Adorable and mildly terrifying.
@@silvussol8966 truly a representative of all of us
"That dude gets it" is my favorite part 😆
The birth of Donald Glover’s god-tier comedic crying
I loved normal-ish episodes like these during season 1 and 2
normal as community can get, that is
The pinnacle of these, imho, is Physical Education. It's just so effortlessly great.
This is why S1 is the best season IMO. The other seasons may get wild with off-the-wall concept episodes, but S1 did the best job of combining the craziness with genuine heart. One of the best seasons of TV ever.
The start of arguably the biggest ship on the show

One day this channel might run out of clips, and the thought of that terrifies me
Then they will have to add the movie to the channel
They'll just add the older clips.
and that day someone will make playlists with all the clips so anybody can watch the whole series on TH-cam (with a lot of cuts obiously)
@@NurniyazKazaliyev Clips from the older clips*
This was the first episode of Community I ever saw. It had me hooked.
These two belong together! Annie challenged Jeff to get outside his comfort zone and Jeff let Annie be herself while supporting her
They both forced each other out of their comfort zone. Annie forced Jeff to take things seriously and put in effort while Jeff forced Annie to "go off script".
Wrong. Unless you are into child abuse, which it seems you are...
Jeff: This better not awaken anythi....too late.

This is top community. One of the best if not the best of the first season.
Jeff literally being an experimental subject here is my fav

This is the greatest show of all time and I can't be convinced otherwise
One of my favorites, thanks for uploaded it
Now whenever I compete against someone that song plays in my head
I was recently showing the show to my sister starting from the beginning and this was the first thing that made her laugh out loud
This was such a great guest performance
The moment everyone forgot abt Jeff and Britta and started rooting for these 2
They went from this debate to Pop Pop vs blowing raspberry
I only watched it a few times, but I'm pretty sure that the reaction that Pierce, Shirley, Troy and Abed have to Jeff catching Simmons, and then Jeff dropping Simmons, is the exact same clip.
Great catch
3:20 the dedication to NOT catch yourself... MAGNIFICO!
I love that Jeff is actually sitting on the table. Then when the wheelchair dude starts coming over, that's when Jeff stands up, to protect Annie. Then of course because Jeff is ,"good" he stays there to catch the guy.

Me: Oh, that’s nice.
I always laughed at Jeff's face in this, going back and forth, dude has the look of a stupefied puppet on his face after kissing Annie
Actually, Jeff gets this wrong at 1:12. It was Paul who wrote "there is none righteous; no, not one," and he was quoting the Psalms.
Jesus is the word of God and as such the Bible is all about extension of the Word made flesh.
@@westonstoler977 That's not how it works. We aren't in Sunday School class. If you were in a debate and you tried to use that logic when someone pointed out that you misattributed the quote, you would be laughed out of the room.

That wheel chair has really strong motors and quick brakes to fling him that far
Edit: it's also weird that he flies upwards and not just forwards
I was really focused on when Jeff dropped him. It looked like he really hit his face off of a hard stage rather than a padded surface.
Dean taunting the disabled person that was just dropped on the ground is great

And yet…it was Paul who said it.
@@mythbhavd It's from the psalms

The wheelchair guy gambled a lot on Jeff having good reflexes. I know a lot of speech and debate members that would have completely dropped or been tackled by the dude.
I suppose he would have claimed that Jeff at least tried to save him, therefore is good.
As someone who does debate, I can confirm Apu from the Simpson is a very sensitive topic.
Such a shame they could never get Jeff and Annie together.

1:32 He should've shouted "Fred Claus!" It would've worked in this name-dropping montage.
This was the first episode I loved community.
My man really committed to that fall, always wondered how many ribs he broke.
I had a similar thought but about when his head hit.
My god all actors on this are amazing
I dunno why i thought the wheelchair guy was the same guy that acted as Gideon Graves in scott pilgrim movie
It would have been nice of Scott Pilgrim crossed over with community
I only noticed Professor Mogadishu today after seeing this episode so many times!
Not me almost quoting Franz Wickmeyer on a paper only to find out he doesn't exist
Just realized Home song was playing at that scene woah
Why is the audio so bad in this clip? Its like its a recording of the actual audio, kinda strange from the offical account
Lol it looks and sounds like they recorded it off a TV
They're trying to give us that ol' 2009 authentic feel.

Eat that Simons 💀
I just watched this episode yesterday. Maybe I am Abed…

Ironic how he brings Mother Theresa's name as an example of people being inherently good.

"That dude gets it"
Troy never cries!
I still have difficulty believing making the public sing was not allowed and yet this was.
Simmons opened himself up to that when he threw himself out of his wheelchair.
The caption is incorrect. Should say how City College got merked
Objection: Snow only forms around condensation nuclei. Thus, snow is not pure, but is, at its core, dust and dirt.
Jeff’s argument really shows how he is streets ahead of the competition.
Pierce: "did I say cross burner?"
Shirley: "no you did not -__-"
I dont know if the floor was padded but that face hitting the floor looked like it hurt.
What was Jeff about to say when Whitman interrupted him and Annie?? I can’t make it out 🧐
"It's like a great duet or great se- ... Hey, Professor Whitman!"
As a Christian, that scene gave me chills! Lol
I would love to see more Simon
