I just realised that Chang must have got there before everyone else, climbed up on the shelf and stayed up there, remaining silent and waiting for someone to use the word "change" so he could make his dramatic appearance.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact in this episodes (2x12), Jeff calls Abed brown Jaime Lee Curtis...which ends up being the actor he impersonates in Episode 12 of season 3. Harmon's foreshadowing is bar none.
@@Bronzescorpion Perhaps, but you have to admit the references falling on the same episode of the two seasons had to have been something planned out. Like this is the same crew that had a brief Beetlejuice cameo after the name was said three times across three seasons. I'm inclined to believe this was done on purpose.
It's actually impressive that Annie knows that Bluestreak is the name of a transformer. If she only recognized Optimus Prime, she wouldn't say 'some of these'.
Actually, NOT... I love Community a lot. I watched this recently on Amazon Prime and I can completely understand why it failed on network TV. This series is more suited for web series on streaming services such as Prime, Netflix and others. For the same reasons you mentioned above. It's fast paced and hilarious but not in your face humor. It takes some level of warming up from viewers point of view. For me, it took rewinding wherever I felt I missed the funny part and I still missed many of them. Imagine this on network TV. Even though writing is hilarious, it is not the kind of humor which is easy to grasp. That is not good for a show on network TV.
@@chanchalnishanth8117 basically just like the first 3 seasons of Arrested Development. The show has to be binge-watched (several times) in order to catch the subtlest jokes and references (like the Buster hand thing, so many jokes across multiple episodes culminating in an epic fashion), which in 2005, wasn't doable at all.
@Nesenda - I wouldn't say it was just that. There was a clear drop in the quality of the writing after season 2 and Chevy's drama with Dan made the situation worse (Dan leaving for a season and then Chevy gone forever). It was then made even worse with Donald leaving in the same season as Chevy, and Yvette leaving later. It was still an entertaining show, but considering it didn't have that large of an audience, the drama, and departures NBC felt it wasn't worth it.
I know it's probably more of a depressing detail, but I always love that whenever Shirley tries to bring up her improving relationship with her ex-husbands, everybody's faces just drop and there's that awkward silence before immediately going back to guessing who Annie's crush is...the delivery of these moments are so funny!
Wait... What was Jeff's reaction to Chang's unexpected appearance? Did he flinch because he's easily scared? Did he flinch because he predicted the rest of the group's reaction and sorta moved his head away from their loud collective scream? Either way, classic Winger
When I read all the comments, it is mind blowing like every details mentioned are impressive with this 2mins scene can deliver. Community is indeed the best.
Why is it when Chang makes his presence known, Jeff is the only one to look to the side instead of the direction of the noise like the rest of the study group?
Same here. Man I miss the show for scene like this I wiped out the finale and couple of last seasons from my memory wish writers has some time off when they tapped out of ideas may be even has some platform where they can ask fans to come up with ideas royalty free they can use.
@@user-kt8hq2dr9l I'm watching it for the first time lately, season four started strong but misses the point, I don't like how more and more they mistreat Pierce.

@@user-kt8hq2dr9l Well, but he's racist because he clearly doesn't know better and he still could be aided into being better in funny ways for this show.
@@decepticonleadermegatron5239 Bluestreak is probably actually someone at the college with a blue streak in their hair who Abed named after the transformer, Pierce said optimus prime to be funny. That's my interpretation.
What do you mean "Even without a laugh track"? This show would be worse with a laugh track. Laugh tracks are the worst part of most comedies. Try watching shows like Big Bang Theory without a laugh track, it's so unfunny.
@@patrickmacken6046 I was replying to someone, but everytime TH-cam changes their layout it fucks with the comment section, so now you can't see who I was replying to. Note that my original comment was 8 years ago.
It's the laugh track. That's what people find "funny" about it. It's a sad truth that a large majority of people need to be told when to laugh, otherwise they can't tell which part is meant to be funny. It's why community, while being possibly the funniest show on Television, doesn't get good ratings. It's really unfortunate.
İ have a friends group too and there was someone like Chang, so i called him Chang but no one ınderstood this references so i called him sometimes Kenan. His real name was ... İ don't remember. This school time was awesome and so was Community)
arzthaus no? TBBT is for dumbasses who don't know when to laugh so they need a laugh track. And the jokes are shit. Community is for people who appreciate real humour.
One thing I hate about Big Bang is that, according to the audience, every line is absolutely hilarious when in fact, none of it is. It's a lazy, derivative, formulaic, uninspired, lowest-common-denominator pile of manure for people lacking the ability to appreciate something better, which, I'm sorry to say, describes the vast majority of my fellow Americans. This is how trite messes like Big Bang manage to sail along for 10 years while gems like Community ever struggle to "find an audience."
Wow, Annie really has some sort of daddy issues. Rich, Assertive Dean, Jeff, Lol She definitely had a different end point, I am glad she did not end up with someone.
I miss Community, well.. Seasons 1,2,3 {excluding Shirley and her husband horrible storyline}. The last half of season 4, a few of 5 and like 2 episodes in 6
I cant remember names n resort to this method of description by the way they act/ look. Can be challenging when its twins so far my brain has came up with Twin A and Twin B.... Ahaha 😂
I love when Jeff humors Abed
jeff and abed are the same person with different personality disorders
He’s not humoring Abed, he just lets his guard down around him and lets his true self be revealed.
"Somebody's finding river fingers with a cute boy!" is a gem
The writing was soooo good.
#andamovie
It really is
For me, it is again with jeesus😂
Top tier writing 😂😂😂
Alison Brie is so versatile in this show. She's given very different caricatures in different concept episodes, and I think she nails all of them.

How this great show got cancelled and American Idol is still on is beyond me
krusader85 wow, this comment couldn't be more perfect given the situation
U think that's bad? we still have freakin Spongebob

Yeah, I can understand why her character stopped haging out with the group, she might have found nicer people
The way Britta said “Again with the Jesus” it sounded like something zoidberg from futurama would say
Abeds finger gun slays me every time
Optimus Prime bahaha
Well I guess i could see that
Funny thing - Abed mentions Bluestreak, who is also a Transformer.
@@madoqen Wait did Pierce say Optimus Prime because he heard Abed name another Transformer and thought that was what they were doing now?
Is it a black Michael Chiklis? A white George Foreman? sooo underrated haha google em theyre two races of the same dude haha
According to Brita, his name is David.
@@ciderfan823 And he's a human being.
And bi-racial
When you choose the same character as your friend in smash bros
I love the gasp when Jeff says "Chagry"
This clip is an encapsulation of why I love community. Just so incredibly dense with humour.
Wait... What was Jeff's reaction to Chang's unexpected appearance? Did he flinch because he's easily scared? Did he flinch because he predicted the rest of the group's reaction and sorta moved his head away from their loud collective scream? Either way, classic Winger
Jeff is sitting in a position where he is the member who could easily see Chang,so I guess he flinched cuz of their collective scream.
Notches!
He probably never thought to look on top of the book shelf and was more keeping eye contact with different members of the group.
He`s doing the...Changshire Cat.
I`m sorry. I`m so sorry.
That pun made me changry
i am always overcome with the urge to applaud after watching this. perfect cold open is perfect.
One of Community's best bits. And that's saying something...
Be the Chang you wish to see in the world.
God now I wanna see what Anderson Cooper looks like with a soul patch and a pony tail it's driving me nuts.
Look up the character from Debate 109 who launched himself from the wheelchair.
Jeff’s only Chang pun is better than all of Chang’s.
How long WAS Chang there?
Aaron Menzo supposedly Ken Jeong stayed up there the whole time they were filming the groups dialogue
As long as it takes. When you find something that works for you, you give it 100% dedication!
Chang's got conviction..
@@davesvens8697 , of course he does. He's changtastic.
Every time Chang leaves the room I hear the song.

How is this 10 years old? Feels like yesterday.
1:08 that position is a ref to disney alice. it is the cat
Why is it when Chang makes his presence known, Jeff is the only one to look to the side instead of the direction of the noise like the rest of the study group?
The pun was that awful that he chose dismay and annoyance rather than dignify Chang's presence immediately XD
Lmao, Chang the subject!
“CHANG the subject” 😂

Hey, I'm from the future! WE'RE GETTING A MOVIE!!!
Is David the Human being or a human being? :D

Is it the guy who looks like Bill Burr but is taller and has hair?

Immediate answer? No.
Woah, take your time buddy
Chang the subjest
uys youre never gonna believe this, there was a commercial ad before watching this, and Britta actress was right there in the trailer!
This has been brought to you by "I Love Butterflies" voice! Lol! #chang! Peace!
Optimus prime?? 🤣😂🤣 seriously ..... dialogue writer is unique
This show is fucking brilliant
Oooh someone's finding river-fingers with a cute boy, hahahaha
This is one of the greatest setup and joke in all of Community!
Fat Neil is my favorite transformer
I love how they never noticed he was there
You don't know how many times i've done the abed finger guns "peejew" sound when someone agrees with me
Even without a laugh track, it's awesome.
I can’t watch shows with laugh tracks. They make for lazy comedy
Break the Sky the only good one is Fresh Prince.
That 70’s show
RB Builds
Boy Meets World and moments of How I Met Your Mother are great.
Otherwise, the best shows are the ones without laugh tracks.
Next time please avoid the temptation to put the punchline in the video's title.
