The intro was a sarcastic response to the network telling the show that they needed to pursue a less weird show to attract a more mainstream audience and wider a viewership.
Inspector Spacetime had an outsized cultural impact. Based on that one clip (and a few that followed) an entire (fictional) mythos developed about Inspector Spacetime. There are clips of the intros from various time periods on TH-cam, and debates about which Inspector was the best. You can even find Inspector Spacetime panels at major science fiction conventions. The discussions and rooms are filled with people who are all participating in making up the mythology of a show that appeared for less than probably two mintues in total over the run of the series. Great fun.
think about this; greendale 7, 7 planets... saturn: lord of the rings controller like jeff, old man kronos like pierce if the planets correlate then jeff and pierce vy to be Saturn, annie would be the moon, shirley mars. thoughts?
You two need to see and react to the movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey -- then all will be clear (plus, you're missing out on lots of references in many TV shows)
Abed having a mental break about Coopertown being moved to mid-season is because season 3's premiere was pushed to February. So basically the writers are thumbing their noses at the network.

The whole season is largely a thinly veiled version of Harmon (creativity) v NBC (commerce).
The dean saying that this year would be the same but with less money is a reference to Community having its budget get smaller.
Inspector Spacetime made this fellow Whovian die laughing too! And yay! Fellow Tennant fans!!! The Blorgons... Classic! LMAO!!!
pierce is the most underrated character.
he's willing to be vilified unfairly, just to protect a fellow group member.
I think the movie reference during Jeff's monkey gas dream is the ending of 2001 a space odesy
Not inception but 2001 a space odyssey. It’s exact same scene in 2001 space odyssey which is an all time great movie .
Layne is pulling out too much of a lead on the pop quizzes. Time to make him build a diorama instead.

I actually had no idea that Garrett and Neil were writers.
