@richspeck8932 Whoa, same! Community got on my radar because I was big into The Soup when Joel was hosting it. Plus, it was a bonus that I happened to be _in_ community college when the show premiered haha I can't remember if the Halloween episode with Abed as Batman came before this, cause I LOVED that bit, but this is the earlier Community moment I remember standing out to me as "OK, this show is funny AND sharp"
I didn't like that joke because the setup is fake. The planet closest to Earth varies by time of year. Thus it's unlikely to be a textbook question and the whole exchange seems forced.
@@alejandroservin131 Because it means absolutely nothing and doesn't help drive any point home, yet Jeff knew it would sound very convincing to Troy just because he repeated it, and did it in that exact tone.
@@BigSlimyBlob isn't that kinda lame? You can't really distinguish it from bad writing. One can always find far-fetched explanation for something... a good writer shouldn't rely on the audience to realize this far-fetched explanation. The scene would be better if Jeff said something that is meaningfully convincing (like Jeff said he wants to go back to the court room)... or pointlessly convincing but properly informing the audience that's what jeff is doing (something like... "I would tell you the math, but math is not important")
I think the point is how lame it sounds. It shows that Jeff knows exactly the minimum required effort he has to make to exploit Troy in this moment. @@bohanxu6125
@@bohanxu6125 Bad writing? Have you not watched the rest of this scene or other scenes from the show? The attention to detail is incredible and they're packing jokes in almost every line. This exchange in particular is intense with humor. Why would you think a genuinely bad, nonhumorous line got past every single writer and somehow managed to be funny anyway? The line is undeniably funny and it doesn't need to include an explanation that Jeff is saying something that doesn't make sense. It's evident. That's why it's funny. That's the joke. I analyzed it and explained why it's funny after being asked, but no one actually has to do that analysis before understanding the joke. A lot of good jokes are funny even if you don't try to figure out why they're funny.
I wish they extended this to Troy’s next scene with Annie, where he starts performing their politically conservative high school’s shamefully outdated fight rap; “Hip, hop, body don’t stop / Riverside got the broom, don’t need a mop / Put your team in the box, put a ribbon on top / we’re not John Kerry ‘cause we don’t flip-flop.”
The "It's in your blood" exchange is when I knew this sitcom was gonna be something streets ahead.
I couldn't agree with you more. I started watching this show because I loved Joel Mchale from the Soup, but after this scene I was absolutely hooked

Is that a reference to price, "street ahead"?
@@pablod385if you have to ask, you’re streets behind
This is the set I show to people to convince them to watch Community
"You're saying I could be a lawyer" underrated line
🤨 that eyebrow seals it
"That dude looks like Moby" the Dean lookalike later says that it is rough out there for a Moby impersonator.
"You still know what to think, Troy."
- 'Oh.... Good.'
0:41 "her eyes will flicker but they will never really close..."
she's the arc of the covenant!
Annie's teeny-bopper in love acting is always so goood
Troy probably still thinks planet Hollywood is closest to Earth 🤣
ummm would you really still think that about Troy after he piloted an unmanned winnebago through the buttermilk galaxy???

8 seconds that redefine television course
I worked on this show building scenery for years, from about the second season right through to the Yahoo final season. So much fun!
1:50 this exchange lives in my mind rent free
“Is that linebacker a pregnant woman?”
“Look, you can meet them later!”
That and the moment where he makes Troy look at the "scoreboard" so he doesn't catch the dropped pass are perfect gaslighting.
@@ForeverDayGreenOne distraction does not equal gaslighting.
@@Kilmer5 yeah I guess he's not really challenging Troy's preception of reality. Let's settle on lying/misleading
I love how there's no effort to hide that "Greendale, Colorado" is obviously being filmed in California.
It's even more obvious in the Christmas episodes.
This scene is my Roman Empire
Once every year at least maybe twice a year this scene lives rent free in my head
Is it gay?
That's homophobic.
@@chrislandaverdedf that's black
Only Jeff Winger could convince someone to choose football over Annie smh
To be fair, many men would choose sports over women if the two conflict with each other in any way.
Annie's pretty young, we try not to sexualize her.
@@ms0824Annie is older than Britta
@@Skipstr96 🤔 ever watch the show??
@@ms0824 multiple times. I was referring to the actresses not the characters
"You're a football player. It's in your blood"
I love the football episode because it’s probably the biggest storyline to completely disappear to never be referenced ever again.
So accurate wrt football nicknames. It's t bone, it's your initials, or it's the first syllable of your last name suffixed w "-ie"/"-y"
Best example of community and Dan Harmons writing
One of the most iconic exchanges in the show, but I need someone to explain the "that's homophobic...that's black" part, please.
It's playing on a stereotype that black men (more than other men) see sensitive/delicate subjects as being 'gay'
There is a surprising amount of black gay guys out there who are stuck in the closet, is what it means.
Even Ice T admitted it.
Who’s your favorite football player
Me- woaaah
Jeff: 85, go long!
85: Ugh!
A 30 minute end credit reel of Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise in a football film trying not to make each other laugh and endlessly failing to?
I've rewatched community 4 times and never caught the "is that linebacker a pregnant woman" line LOL
1:47 jajajaja la mejor parte 😂😂😂
peak Dan writing
How come almost all full episodes have been set to private?
Because we aren't allowed to have nice things.
The dome arrives later, it comes with thunder.
I just realized: at 2:14 Jeff made that player run and then when Troy throws the ball, it hits the guy at 2:20. That poor human being.
That dude look like Moby: fake Moby from HIMYM.😂
That dude look like moby

Your name. Begins. With a T.
This is the episode Annie realized Her and Troy wouldn't work :()
I could really go for some PC Cola rn
The people who removed "Community" from Netflix I hope they have IBS
Watch the movie fail because nobody wants to watch Peacock.
T-Bone I take it’s jab at Tim Tebow
Your name... begins... with T... 😏😏😏
Venus is the closest planet to earth. Mars is the second closest.
I think this research may have been done on Wikipedia
Technically it's a misleading question as the closest planet would vary depending on where all the planets are in their respective orbits.
@@Hooverlord A fourth grader would know that it's Venus lol.
Classic
Damn
The 9gag long pic of this made me watch the entire show! And still waiting for that movie!
Movie is on its way, don't you worry!
