@@DrZaius3141 Yes, but it's all about appearance and attitude. Jeff dresses young, hip and cool and acts like an irresponsible young adult who never figured out how to grow up properly. Shirley dresses and acts like a mom, because she actually is one, leading to a more responsible and mature mindset, leading people to think she's older than Jeff, even though there's only a few years between them at most.
What's great about this scene is everyone calling out eachother's failings and personal flaws only for Abed to demonstrate how hard his really are. The rest of them can at least share an emotional dialogue, but Abed cannot except through the lens of TV and movies.
Something that I always admired about this show is how they developed Abed Sure, you can say they "changed" him, but over six seasons we actually get to see him become better at connecting with people without the screen of tv, acknowledging people's feelings and accepting change. That's character development, and him and Jeff get the best arc in the show
Roshni honestly I think it could have been done better. Not by anyone else. Still by Dan Harmon but with his experience with the show now I’m sure it would be absolutely perfect
I was just thinking that! Every character is introduced with so much exposition, Abed introducing himself and Britta at the start, around the table every gets introduced... and ONCE AGAIN each one is reintroduced by Jeff in the end, but it felt organic- never forced or overkill.
Abeds literally the only person that stayed the same throughout the whole show. Britta turned stupid, Jeff gained a sense of fashion, Annie stopped wearing makeup, Troy dropped his fake peronality, Shirley grew her hair out, and pierce stopped dressing like that wtf.
If you actually consider the entire series from start to finish, except for the Pilot and for S4, Britta actually was quite consistent. Especially starting with the second half of S1, when she stopped being mostly motivation for Jeff and started being her own character. She has plenty of strong moments in the later seasons, and plenty of wacky ones in S1 and especially 2.
I like the renaissance it's getting through Netflix, not to mention its creator and a few of the protagonists had/have contracts with company. maybe we can finally get the movie.
This is history in the making. This might be my favourite show of all time. Just wish they'd make the movie, and we finally get a happy ending for Jeff and Annie, and some closure for Britta. Her character fizzled out so much, she was almost a background character towards the end. The Dean was a bigger character than she was.
I am guessing here , but i think that's because she was the least comedically talented of the cast.Her delivery of the lines was cringy for me. Watch a TH-cam video called "community season 1 cast evaluation " where Dan Harmon basically admits it.
@@johnman9386 I don't think it has anything to do with the actor and all to do with the writing. The character was intricate enough in the beginning but devolved into being pretty one-note by the later seasons. That happened to all the characters to some degree, but Britta was certainly worst off.
@@hrvbox I know the video is a joke but he was serious when talking to Yvette when he said that Gillian struggles with comedy. She's much better in dramatic roles than comedic ones. And it's natural considering this was her first experience with comedy.I believe Dan as the smart man he is, incorporated her cringiness as a part of the character and he made it somewhat funny.
I love how this further proves the theory that Jeff is as big a pop culture geek as Abed and Abed is who lets him connect with that… it is also why is the most important relation in the series, they are the meta
I wish Brita hadn't been dumbed down to such a buffoon but I also get that in a sitcom it's easier to mine a caricature for humor. They all got a bit broader but Brita was the only one whose character was ruined by it... and Peirce but that was due to all the interpersonal friction between Chevy and Dan (and everyone else tbh).
I think as the show progressed, Britta became more complex and more realistic compared to her 1st episode character which is like a trophy for Jeff to win over.
They all needed flaws to work on them and grow, this version of Britta didn't have any so she had 0 personality to develop, dumb Britta is far better than just a pretty blonde
They needed to change her character some, as her original purpose was to show Jeff's flaws, but it was clear he did that on his own. I didn't mind the dumbing down, as it worked well when her character was pretty much just posing as the original one we see. At times it got too much like in the episode when they showed her parents. I cringe at how bad she was in those scenes. Personally, I would have liked to have seen all the characters achieve some degree of what they aspired to, rather than remaining static for the most part. Shirley for example trying to find herself and be independent and ending up going back with her husband. The way they presented him made sense, but I still would have liked to have seen her grow as a single independent woman. Annie was the one that seemed to actually be going somewhere from where she started originally and I'd have liked to have seen some of that with all of them. But back to Britta. She was presented besides being smarter, as having made mistakes in life that left her behind. In the end she was still kind of stuck in that place of her mistakes leaving her stuck in life.
@@Logan_Baron All good points... I actually didn't mind Shirley getting back with Andre because they were cute together and she was building her business, so she needed help with the kids and all. I liked that she put her foot down with him about being the breadwinner too. It sucked that they broke up off-screen. Even though Malcolm Jamal Warner had another show, the characters could have stayed together. He didn't need to ever physically be seen again. Kinda dumped on that whole season-long storyline.
i know jeff was just doing it to avoid studying but when he called out pierce for sexually harassing shirley that was really sweet and what every guy should be on the lookout for.
Hot Take: The Study Group was at its best as a platonic single unit (excluding all the Jeff/Britta/Annie love stuff) in this season, which is why it's my favorite. Yeah, they did have these kinds of moments/episodes in following seasons, but this was the season where it was at the forefront. It's why I enjoy Comparative Religion more than Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas. Aside from the fact that it was the first episode of Community I ever watched, it's an episode where Jeff, Britta, Shirley, Abed, Troy, Annie and Pierce come to realize that they have each other and they have to stick together. Including Pierce, which a lot of the later seasons don't do.
They've said in interviews that the female writers hated Brita's original character and Dan Harmon just let them go with their interpretation. The rest is Gillian constructing the real Brita.
@bongo155 that's why I don't get why people thinks she devolves throughout the series. She's basically the same, goofy and kind-hearted. It's just that hardcore wannabe facade falls away.
Before watching Community: i knew *Joel* as the spy hunter dad from Spy Kids 4, *Gillian* from a film called Garden of the Night, *Alison* as the gold digger wife from Get Hard, *Danny P.* from the show called Powerless, *Yvette* as Helen from Drake & Josh, and *Ken* from The Duff/Ride Along 2. *Donald* I knew much more since he’s one of my favorite rappers. I didn’t know much about *Chevy* other than this show.
Wow geniuses over here. Thanks guys, didn't know it was a library. Now I know I don't have to explain myself to such clever people but I will anyway, I know it's a library thanks, but if you watch literally any episode AFTER this, the books aren't present - I was commenting on the fact that the library is more populated.
Jeff wearing sweatpants on his first day of college is pretty weird if you think about how angry he was after the sports coach called him a hipster at the end season one
I think Abed and Britta probably changed the most since the pilot. Britta became more annoying (cuz she’s supposed to be) and has a more loud personality, and Abed’s mannerisms and facial expressions are more contained.
The only character who doesn't in anyway hint to what he'll be like in most of the series is Troy. It's insane how much the dude changed throughout the course of Season 1.

Yvette doesn’t get enough credit for her comedic skills in this series! They’re all incredible!
That's nice :)
All of them?
@@pietrocasellapietro yeeeees. You hear me, right?
“This is personal, and so accurate.”
In general shirley and britta get a lot of shit from the toxic fan base, i personally think they are hilarious, i love them so much.
Abed is the only one not to correct Pierce on his name, and Pierce continues to pronounce it incorrectly throughout the series.
And that's why one should always correct people's pronunciations. Unless one likes it, of course.
I never noticed
And is that OK? Sure.
Annie's make up, Shirley's hair, Pierce's turtleneck and Troy's personality and manerisms always make me feel weird
Funnily enough, Britta was really cute in the episode and was really giving Jeff an honest chance!! Of course, we know what happens next, lmao!
the pilot episode definitely looks very different from the rest of the season
I always thought Annie looked most beautiful in season 1.
I always thought there was something different about Annie’s eyes in season 1

"I'm certified."
"And finally, this beautiful creature is named Shirley"
He could not have said that in a more uncomfortable way
@@dipdop9734 Especially when he said "Why would I harass somebody who turns me on?" it's even more creepy.

I think most of these changes were great. Except for Britta. They Britta'd her own character.
But you're right. Abed is perfect.
Pretty sure Annie started wearing makeup, she’s plastered with it in season 5-6

Anyone else notice the 'I sat behind you in algebra' is edited out on Netflix?
A lot of stuff in the Netflix version was either changed or removed, and yes one of those lines is that.
