I'm all for good writers being paid more, but not if it means dragging every trash writer with them. You should look at what the writers union is actually demanding.
One of my favorite lines is when Brita says, “That’s like me getting mad at owls because I’m bad at analogies.” She says that she’s bad at analogies, by giving a bad analogy.
@@AdamRhodes536 th-cam.com/video/LR33ydE5QSY/w-d-xo.html Ya surprised it wasn't included. Good writing. An analogy to define an analogy and Jeff's reaction is good.
As a young adult I relate to troys “they’re the same bar?!” Scene so much adults seem so smart when you’re young but now that im almost on the same level as them i can see adults do so many stupid things and just pretend they don’t because they want to give kids someone to look up to
Jeff has the best rants throughout the series which is why he has the majority of these clips, but the writing for evey character fits each one so well. Abed's mini rants full of pop culture references (which are honestly the most similar to Jeff) are underappreciated
Yeah, he’s an incredible character and is so overlooked. He’s just like how Britta imo is the funniest and no one seems to notice how great her jokes are
For what it’s worth, while I love Jeff’s lines I think they’re overrated in comparison to other characters. Jeff is a former lawyer, which means high level vocabulary and intense speeches are in his character. These are flashy displays of writing, but a better metric for how good writing is is simply how engaging and believable the dialogue is. Every other character in the show has writing that matches their character well and is always quite entertaining. Their dialogue just doesn’t make it into videos like this because it’s more simple, it isn’t flashy like Jeff’s.
I went to a community college for my AA. This is almost 100% accurate in the broad sense. A sort of “no man’s land” for people of all sorts of social strata awkwardly being thrown together. It was honestly the most unique time of my life. I met all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds. This show was incredibly unique and hilariously accurate.
@@adamdevlin4533 She could've owned one before, when the show aired. Or, watched with someone who enjoyed the show. She lied!! Really it's just Frankie unknowingly referencing something else
2:00 - I have watched this episode of Community so many times, but this is the first time I've ever noticed Jeff flip the lady's nameplate down so he can use the disarming "I didn't catch your name" line. Incredible.
"your a football star troy its in your blood!" "that's racist" "your soul?" "THATS racist" "your eyes?" "that's gay?" "that's homophobic" "that's black" "THATS RACIST" "damn" my favorite joke in the show XD
as a skinny girl, Jeff's "Because I'm scared that if I were overweight that no one would like me" made me think hard about my own ego and how it sometimes revolves around my weight
If you look good and make decisions to maintain that you should be proud. Ego may be offensive but it's essential you sound like you care about how that affects those around you and that's all that matters.
the lines abt jeff's body image are usually supposed to be humorous but they make me sad for him, and this line absolutely broke my heart. the man needs therapy
Megan Ganz is the true unsung hero of Community and should get far more credit than even Dan for the show. If you look almost every great episode was written by either her or co-written by her and the second she joins the writing staff in S2 it gets so much more thematic and daring!
Megan is intensely talented altho her credits on community are a little complicated for reasons that are not her fault nor can I properly explain why in a single comment. The main thing is I'm so glad she's on always sunny now as the show feels like it's hitting new peaks even 16 seasons in and I think that's in part because of her.
I’ve always loved the speech Jeff gave Pierce’s dad, it helped me come to terms with my mother and I can’t thank the writers of Community enough for that
@@alphanerd7221 like jeff wasn't pretending to be in love with britta to one up her? he willingly went along with abed if it meant he was 'winning' but as soon as shit hits the fan its abed who's immature? because the way jeff and britta were being the entire time was very mature. jeff is not in the right here. he realises that in the end. he learns that he needs to respect his friends.
2:56 despite it all i'm still obsessed with the Dean's simple "whoa" we've never heard him so down to earth and it actually makes me so rattled for jeff's safety lmfao even tho I fully know and remember it's a fakeout
Troy's realization that older people aren't always smarter and more experienced just because they're confident is so real. It seems like that's a circle of life, you grow up thinking that older people got their shit together so you should listen to them. Then you realize that they don't and stop listening. Then you get to be older and realize that they've got good advice even if they don't have their shit together. Then you realize that they've got good advice because they don't have their shit together. And finally you get to be in a position where you're giving advice and have to consider if you're actually in a position to give advice. As a teacher student/ pre service teacher, and as a person who recently became a coach, I often find myself thinking "I used to think that I wouldn't do this if I was in their position, but here I am, doing the same thing." And then I started to realize why teachers and coaches make the decisions that they make. It doesn't excuse the things we do, but it does make my past teachers more human.
“I’m afraid if I were overweight, no one would like me.” Too real. From that statement you can have a whole discussion that this world of “attractiveness is everything” would need to hear.
Community will always go down as the greatest show in history for me. I've watched this show to many times to count now in its entirety. Thank you to the people who help create this show.
Community is obviously a funny show but the more sombre moments, like when abed says 'in life we have you' or when Frankie reveals that her sister is dead, are so well done.
I found myself thinking how cleverly stupid this speech was, and how incredibly specific it is, and how this 10-second speech sums up the entire humor of this series. Wonderful.
I can't believe the whole 'who the hell is Pam?' scene isn't in here. Also the best part of 12:28 is later when they all keep bickering and Elroy says 'This...was a study group?'. Fucking gold.
Binged through all of this series and I have to say "Most people would have trouble saying booyah to Moral relativism" is still one of my favourite lines. I adore ian duncan, he might be my favourite character tbh, I hope he's in the movie!
It makes me happy since s2 is my absolute fave. I understand the appeal of s3 & I get why it's considered the best season by most fans but man... S2 is so great, from both a comedic & a character standpoint. And whilst I also think s3 is hilarious, the character writing isn't really as good. The total 180 that some characters take (cough cough Britta) compared to their previous characterisation is kiiiinda a downer lol
That Abed line about TV"s leading man is so meta. If I somehow got an eternal punishment of only being able to watch 1 episode of any TV show for the rest of my life, I'll be picking Cooperative Calligraphy.
This was the first show series me and my siblings watched together, and ever since we’ve watched a bunch of shows. It’s brought us super close, and we constantly reference this among the others shows
I don't think i was truly able to appreciate community until recently because I grew up watching it, I didn't realise how rare this good writing is. Somehow it's genuinely funny but naturally, and also there's an actual storyline and progression of plot. It's insane
“She’s a stripper, life sued her and she lost” should have been in here instead of the speech Jeff gave Drew Carey’s character. That line always takes me down 😂
Looking at this from the perspective of a writer - or in my case an actor - this video is genuinely a really helpful bitesized example of good writing , and and example of actors working with intelligent and elaborate character writing that you can analyse with your own respective toolkit.
Yes, Community has some world class writing. However, this was a Jeffcentric compilation and we, Community fans, must admit that he was the easiest character to write. Why? Because he breaks the 4th wall, he's the tool which from whom we, the audience, shall understand the structure and tropes of almost any given episode. Jeff is "The Meta" spice, not Abed, but Jeff. Abed adds flavor, entrapment, delusion. Jeff sterilizes and unveils. Jeff was the easiest character to write because he's written from the writers' perspective, the ones who already know how an episode begins and ends.
Bold of you to imply that his last line wasn't coldly honed to a razor's edge for maximum damage. I get the feeling the writers put a lot of work into making that line sting.
oh darling that's how it starts... i binged the entire thing over finals in the winter... i've now seen the show ten times through... no exaggeration...
One of my favs that wasn't included: Troy: "Why don't you go start a ruiner's club? Oh that's right, you'd probably ruin it." Britta: "Well then I'd be doing a pretty good job, wouldn't I." Troy: "YOU RUINED MY ANALOGY."
I am people. Seems to be about a group of friends (with the pseudo-main character being the Jeff guy) who are all going to the same college. It follows their exploits both at the school and outside of it. What I don’t get is if Jeff is a student (as I assume like the other main characters clearly are) or some kind of student-teacher (based off the 300$ clip). My current theory is that he is like a Law student who also teaches undergrads and may be leading some kind of break out class in which they all met (given his cynical personality, he might have been forced to do this by the school or it’s also possible he’s just doing it because they’re his friends). The one thing that doesn’t add up with what I’ve been saying is the one old guy who occasionally showed up and wanted to be more included. Not sure how that fits in.
@@micha3l7He was a student in seasons 1-4. He came back as a teacher in 5 & 6. They start out as just a Spanish study group, but eventually become best friends and some of them end up dating or living with each other. The old guy is Pierce, a member of the study group who slowly starts to alienate everyone, he ends up leaving eventually.
“What does a pregnancy test look like?”
“Ok so this is definitely a gun”
Donald Glover delivered that line PERFECTLY. You could tell he really understood the character throughout the show.
One of my favorite line. My top one is:
Troy: Hey, cool lava lamp
Pierce: It's not a lava lamp. It's my mom.
Troy: Ohhohoooo snap!!............Wait.
one of the best scenes of the entire show, i quote it all the time lol
The BEST episode. The episode I just happened to see that got me invested in the show
"No, that a girls peeshooter."
"In life we have this... We have you" was one of the most cutting, cold, hurtful things I've heard one character say to another in tv

My Dinner w Abed will always be my fav 11:33
*chad had lived, jeff. chad had lived more than abed* CHILLS
11:20 Becoming an adult summed up in one line
D-duh
2:40 is the one that's truly great writing.
It's very efficient writing. It builds, and builds, and builds before unexpectedly looping back again and the joke is absolutely perfect.
this compilation is just as good as any episode of community. love the composition
Unless you think time is linear.
I'll make your ass linear.
That doesn't make sense.
I'll make your ass sense.
It’s the amazing delivery
Yes, Community has some world class writing. However, this was a Jeffcentric compilation and we, Community fans, must admit that he was the easiest character to write. Why? Because he breaks the 4th wall, he's the tool which from whom we, the audience, shall understand the structure and tropes of almost any given episode. Jeff is "The Meta" spice, not Abed, but Jeff. Abed adds flavor, entrapment, delusion. Jeff sterilizes and unveils. Jeff was the easiest character to write because he's written from the writers' perspective, the ones who already know how an episode begins and ends.
Gave winger speech vibes, excellent
“Flavor, entrapment, delusion” 🤣
I’ll subscribe to your substack
@@elizam7219 😂😏👍
So then why is Jeff the only one “stuck” at greendale? Cause he’s he status quo?
@@The-Legend-of-P no, that was a "meta" episode
The pen episode is golden ✨
"i ate a hamburger the other day, and now I'm not cold all the time"
Ended with my favorite quote ☺️
9:21 home playing in the background is really funny when you think about it
That last clip gets me everytime. Abed has some of the best throwaway lines oh my god
Bold of you to imply that his last line wasn't coldly honed to a razor's edge for maximum damage. I get the feeling the writers put a lot of work into making that line sting.
This show was SOOO Amazing. Its on the list of great shows, that not a lot of people watched, along with freaks and geeks and Brooklyn Nine Nine.
to this day "named Jesus" is one of the best lines in sitcom history
No. But "Jesus WEPT!" is.
13:12 That was so cold that all the icebergs in the world shivered.
I just binge watched all 6 seasons in 2 weeks. I’m not an addict, you are
Honestly relatable
oh darling that's how it starts... i binged the entire thing over finals in the winter... i've now seen the show ten times through... no exaggeration...
Functional Communityholic
one of the best written sitcoms I've ever watched!
Most are from the Pen bottle episode. Also that last line... Ooof
the bit i can't stop laughing at is "YOUR NOT DISPROVING THAT THEORY
This writing is streets ahead. I think that might be just about the best Community compilation ever..
I do not object to the fact that this is 95% Jeff given he’s one of Da Harmon’s self inserts
I love this show because 90% of the time it’s a funny stupid comedy but then sometimes it just pulls out a GUT PUNCH of a line
"Oh they've got a class on how to write jokes!"
"Oh don't take that. I dropped it after the lesson on setups. The professor is so old..."
The man is good/bad ending (of the debate) is pure gold!
Both teams are giving everything at their last shots
“In life we have this. We have you.” Holy SHIT
The first 3 seasons of this show was sheer quality, easily the most underrated sit com ever
Paintball episodes spawned some of the hardest lines to ever be uttered on screen
Annie winning the debate was one of the few times it really felt like they straight up won the events of an episode, you know, relative to Greendale.
I use the line "deliberately and with great malice of forethought" all the time
I've always loved the description of this show as TV show as love letter to TV shows.
One of my favs that wasn't included:
Troy: "Why don't you go start a ruiner's club? Oh that's right, you'd probably ruin it."
Britta: "Well then I'd be doing a pretty good job, wouldn't I."
Troy: "YOU RUINED MY ANALOGY."
I wanna hear what people who haven’t seen the show think it’s about based solely on this compilation
I am people. Seems to be about a group of friends (with the pseudo-main character being the Jeff guy) who are all going to the same college. It follows their exploits both at the school and outside of it. What I don’t get is if Jeff is a student (as I assume like the other main characters clearly are) or some kind of student-teacher (based off the 300$ clip). My current theory is that he is like a Law student who also teaches undergrads and may be leading some kind of break out class in which they all met (given his cynical personality, he might have been forced to do this by the school or it’s also possible he’s just doing it because they’re his friends).
The one thing that doesn’t add up with what I’ve been saying is the one old guy who occasionally showed up and wanted to be more included. Not sure how that fits in.
@@micha3l7He was a student in seasons 1-4. He came back as a teacher in 5 & 6. They start out as just a Spanish study group, but eventually become best friends and some of them end up dating or living with each other. The old guy is Pierce, a member of the study group who slowly starts to alienate everyone, he ends up leaving eventually.
@@MaxwellSmartOddy just finished the series. Great watch
@micha3l7 finished the series yesterday too. I'd honestly pay to watch it for the first time again
Only Frankie and Abed can hold a candle to Jeff. He was 99% of this video
