Kinda sad that the Pillowtown vs Blanketsburg episode didn't make the top 10. That episode really shows how much Community can do when it's forced to use so little. Also, they absolutely nailed the PBS documentary style for the episode. And the bit about the confusing battleground names is top tier.
I’m surprised the Contemporary American Poultry didn’t make it on here, despite being mentioned several times. It sets up Troy’s monkey for one of the show’s best episodes, it allows Abed to leave his scope for even just a moment, showing that he wants to connect with people even more than he lets on, and the one to pull him out of his delusion is Jeff, the person that he had the best relationship. I do love the My Dinner with Andre Dinner with Abed Episode, but this is the one I CONSISTENTLY rewatch. On top of that, it has really solid jokes and even perfect character moments, like Pierce not allowing Travis in, or them naming the monkey thanks to a poll.
Yeah, this is the one episode I always show people who haven’t seen Community. It’s the start of all the amazing full-episode parodies, and it’s just so much fun the whole time. One of the best for sure
This was also the first episode of Community that felt truly special. Before, the show just felt like a sitcom about a college but that episode made me realize how creative they could really be
The puppet episode is the only episode i ever consistently skip on rewatch, so I'm surprised it didn't make it on the list. Ironically enough, for all of its flaws, the season 4 paintball episode actually had one of my favorite jokes of the show. It's when Troy faces off against evil Troy and evil Troy states one of them is out of bullets. Idk why but it gets me every time. Maybe it's just Donald's perfect delivery and comedic timing idk.
Strong agree. The puppet episode is the only one is my pick for worst episode and the only one I skip. The emotions all ring false, the “revelations” feel out of character (if not full character assassination), and the guest stars and songs are cringey and wasted.
One of my favorite Troy lines(from different episode) is "the first time I got punched in the face I was like 'oh no' and then I was like 'this is a story." Troy rocks
Yeah, I've tried multiple times to watch the pupper episode, in different mindsets. Sober, high, drunk, high and drunk. Never even gets a chuckle from me.
Documentary Filmmaking: Redux is one of my favorite episodes. “Mr. Guzmán, Luis, thank you, and can I just say, I loved you in… innnnnnnnnnnnnn- IMDb.” and “Ok, you get this wrong one more time? I’m segregating the school.”, SUCH UNDERRATED LINES. And then to end it all off?, the dean, just burnin his university degree and rubbin the ashes on his completely naked body while wailin like a wild animal, fuckin perfect episode in my opinion. Megan Ganz wrote some of the best episodes for the show, she’s legitimately hilarious. It’s too bad Dan treated her like shit when she worked for him, but I’m glad they’ve both made amends with each other.
Every time I watch the DND episode I think about alternate timeline where Chevy Chase isn't pure ego, works with Dan to craft the character of Pierce, and getting his late career emmy, solidifying his legacy. He was really amazing in this role, and I think if there'd been a better relationship between actor and showrunner, that character would've been peak. Every time he uses the amulet to make Neil's character fat I cackle, he's so good
Yeah but would Pierce be funny if Chevy Chase wasnt Chevy Chase (and your not). His Legacy was already semented in 1975 anyways with "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead".
@@RaithSienar Legacies are made in the past and sustained in the future, he might be a legend to the people who watched him in the 70's, but I promise if you ask anyone under 40 what they know him from, its Community. Legacies aren't stagnant, they change as time passes. It's why Walk Disney was known as a genius artist in his time, and now most people think of him as an avowed anti-semite with a weird cryogenic freezing kick. Legacies change, and Chevy changed his by being a petulant baby on set of the last meaningful show he was on.
My favorite episode is probably "Basic Lupine Urology" from season 3. I just like the homage to Law&Order! I just love everything with professor Kane in it. Because other really good episode from that season is "competitive ecology". Poor Todd... "I just had a terrible nightmare that Jeff was a pompous ass! ...Also Todd was there." 😂😂
As great as that episode was, the title was perfect! It took me a while to figure out the joke there, but once I did, I really appreciated the true genius of it!
I don’t see a lot of people talking about Epidemiology, but it’s the episode I could rewatch over and over and never get tired of. I like how it shows Troy learning to lean into his “nerd” side (and ultimately saving the day because of it), the Abba soundtrack of it all, the humor, THE ACTION, “I love you, I know”, etc. Maybe I just love a good zombie plot.
annies moving episode had my favourite moment which was the montage of a kiss from a rose. the karaoke which the dean reveals he planned it. it’s perfection
I have a weird love for seasons 5-6. They're like the underdog seasons, especially 6, and they take liberties that most shows that long in the tooth really wouldn't. Also Elroy Patashnik is my favorite member of the group.
I absolutely disagree with G.I.Jeff being one of the three worst episodes, I think that’s one of Season 5’s absolute best episodes because of how it relates to Jeff’s existentialism. (Edit: I also disagree about Virtual Systems Analysis)
yeah i cannot relate to anyone who dislikes that episode. it's in the top 5 for me. i think this dude is just flat out wrong. Dude seems to have missed the point of the episode AND missed the jokes. his takes on season 5 and 6 basically ruined his retrospective video for me. What an absolute waste of 55 minutes.
“It’s all terrain dummy” is my favorite one liner of all time. Also, I love how your list is almost entirely different from mine but I understand yours perfectly. That’s just how good the show is.
What a beautiful perspective!!!! And so true. My number one favorite and his was the same. The rest were different or in different orders. But it all says we love *Community* because it was *Streets Ahead!* 🥰🤗
My favorite has to be Geothermal Escapism. I love the homage and the story is just so perfect. I cry every time. In a sense, its also the end of the series with Troy leaving. But it ended on the highest of high notes
I had to keep pausing that episode because I was sobbing too hard to hear the dialogue. It’s uncool for a show to be that adept at making me laugh while ripping my heart out.
I agree. It's my 2nd favorite episode (the 1st being *Advanced Dungeons & Dragons* since I'm serious about my nerdom 😁). No matter how many times I watch it, I cry when Abed "dies" in the lava, and then again at how Britta understand the seriousness of helping Troy to revive him. It's beautiful. By now, many people may have noticed, but the very next episode after Troy leaves, at the end Professor Hickey is home watching the news. The lower crawl on the news reads, *"Actor LaVar Burton and non-celebrity guest captured by pirates."* I had seen that episode 6 or 7 times, but happened to pause it to grab something and when I came back, I noticed it. Laughed myself silly!!! 😅🤣😆
Wow didn't realize how much people hated on season 6. For me a lot of my favorites are in season 6, although it's a bit hit or miss overall. basic email security, wedding videography, and rv repair are three of the funniest episodes of the series for me.
1:40 “Occasionally, our campus erupts into a flawless, post modern homage to action adventure mythology, mischaracterized by the ignorant as parody” -Abed Nadir S6E13
love this show. it never did get the appreciation that it deserved while it was running, and glad to see that it's getting that recognition now, despite some lows. the highs were SO SO good
For me, the #1 episode of Community will always be Pillows And Blankets. Just the memory of Annie's texts about where to buy the emojis sends me. 🍣🎂🛑⛄☂
For me, in that episode, my favorite parts are Keith David explaining the different locations that don't match the names (South Hall named after General North). And then, when Abed totally destroys Troy with the email saying he cries easily.
i found the G.I Joe entertaining but i understand why it’s on the list it just feels kinda hollow compared the other animation episodes. i’m kinda shocked that puppet episode isn’t on the list i really hated that one.
I'm with you! And especially because *_literally No Black People complained about it!!!_* They just decided that we *_should_* be offended by Chang's makeup as a Dark Elf. I hate that SJW crap when others decide to ruin everything on our behalf. 🙄 I bought the DVD box set so I can watch it constantly.
Abed's Christmas was dumb. Really, he doesn't understand Christmas? And I am supposed to think it is good because of old school stop motion animation? And the lame Lost reference. No.
You mentionned the first paintball episode because it has its own visual identity, but the second one completely nailed it by turning it into a Werstern Movie. With its own aesthetic. I find it a bit better. I think this one is my favourite ex aequo with the pen episode.^^
Cooperative Calligraphy is the best episode in Community and nobody can change my mind. Abed tracking the cycles, Pierce saying the thief is Troy, and the self-awareness that it's a bottle episode are all peak comedy.
One of my favorite bits in that episode is that one can actually see the monkey take the pen if one slows it down in the right place. A really nice touch.
Nice list. Two misses though: 1. GI Jeff episode deserves to be in the top ten of Best shows simply for the code names: Tight Ship, Buzz-Kill, and Three Kids 2. Top 10 needs to included “Digital Estate Planning”. That episode is non conventional, well written development of characters, full of twists, and funny as hell.
Yeah, i feel Gi Jeff Is way overhated. I didn't even watch a single episode of GI Joe but i enjoyed that one. Even if it's true it's not the best gimmick episode of the show
I think the context of G.I. Jeff most likely airing after an episode of Access Hollywood and shocking anyone that didn't know what it was and likely *immediately* turning it off makes the whole conceit/premise incredibly hilarious
"We finally figured out a way to make paintball cool again." If there was a line that was least earned in the series, it's this one. They managed to trash both paintball and the darkest timeline in one episode.
one episode i think should be in the top 10 is virtual systems analysis. it’s one of the episodes that explores abeds mind that people often don’t talk about but it’s done beautifully. the way every actor is playing themselves being played by abed is so fun and interesting to think about and you get to see super cool development with abed and annie’s friendship!! i’ve analyzed it a couple times for essays haha this list is great though there’s so many that i’ve never thought to rank high on a top 10 list that now make so much sense for yhat
I love remedial chaos theraphy. I love that we get to see how the different characters react to the same situations, like Pierce giving the present to Troy, and then not doing it and so on. I also love the fact that in every single timeline Jeff shushes Britta singing but when he’s the one leaving they end up having the best time singing to the music and the vibe of that is just amazing
Terrific list, heartbreaking though it is to see no Epidemiology on here, the Godfather of all "Critical Plot Points Introduced in Absurd Episodes" episodes.
I agree with pretty much everything but Intro to Recycled Cinema. I dunno, I just have a lot of fun with that one. Maybe it was the fun ways they got so much mileage out of the limited chang footage. Maybe it was Annie. I dunno.
He's pretty wrong about that one. It's a hilarious episode. Grifting 101 is the one episode from season 6 I think it's an absolute stinker. And personally, I would have had Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, Repilot and the puppet episode in the bottom 5
Documentary Filmmaking Redux has to be the funniest episode for me, it's not my absolute favorite but it cracks the top 3 for sure, such a creative and utterly hilarious episode that gets way too overlooked.
Best episode for me will always be S2E1. Britta and Jeff get into a competition to prove who can love the other more. Annie is having a mental breakdown over Jeff getting together with Britta, completely oblivious to the fact they hate eachother at this point and are just playing a game of love chicken trying to make the other confess they don’t love the other.
I remember seeing the advertisement for modern warfare and watching it when it aired in 2010. I immediately knew it was something special and bought the first season on DVD as soon as I could. It's probably tied with its always sunny in Philadelphia for my favorite sitcom of all time. Scrubs is up there too though.
Thanks so much for this Best and Worst list. I adore this show, it's so wonderfully quirky, but sadly behind the scenes drama tended to overshadow the show itself.
THANK YOU! I feel like Regional Holiday Music is the single most underrated episode of the show. It’s not that it’s insanely good (I mean it is but whatever) but I audibly laugh so loudly every time I watch it. Every second of it is funny. Shirley’s “I’m scared to go into the study room, there’s so many top hats in there” line is so unexplainably funny to me, and every song slaps. Remedial Chaos Theory is the best episode imo (Basic Lupine Urology is a close second if not tied first) but RHM takes the cake for funniest.
I'm personally mixed about Jeff taking anti-aging pills in G.I. Jeff. On the one hand I think the theme of aging and things naturally coming to an end was thematically appropriate for community at the time because the show was also naturally dying out and thing were becoming less non-sensicle, so a desperate grasp to when times were good and things didn't have to make sense made it feel like the characters were reacting to it the same way as the audience did and it made me like the maturing cast of characters a litte more. On the other hand I dont think Jeff would be stupid enough to take anti-aging pills and even the concept of them existing and knocking you out is somehow more implausible than seeing the world in claymation to the point where it feels forced and not particularly subtle.
For me accounting for lawyers 2x02 is my favorite episode it has 2 of my favorite gags in the show between the Troy you have to believe and the chloroform easily one of the most rewatchable shows in the series
My favorite episodes of the series: 1. Epidemiology 2. Cooperative Calligraphy 3. Mixology Certification 4. Basic Lupine Urology 5. Remidal Chaos Theory 6. A Fist Full of Paintballs/A Few paintballs more 7. Studies in Modern Movement 8. Digital Estate Planning 9. Intermediate Doc Filmmaking 10. Cooperative Polyagraphy
I can excuse not liking GI Jeff but i draw the line at the ham girl episode. Dan Harmon has said its one of his favorite episodes. Its so wacky and yet so creative, sort of what Dan was doing with Rick & Morty at the time.
It also has one of the funniest moments in the show imo, when Jeff says “Let me use a metaphor I can understand.. every day I work out” Abed’s sarcastic “really?” gets me every time.
I'm pretty shocked that Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking and Documentary Filmmaking: Redux didn't make it into the top 10 - they are what The Office wished their episodes were. Also I just loved the whole Troy and LeVar Burton dynamic (and the whole ott commercial with Luis Guzman - it really felt like the whole show had been slowly building up to something like that with a real celeb)
Does anyone else like Intro To Recycled Cinema? To me it's one of the most memorable season 6 episodes along with ladders, the finale, the wedding episode, and the email hack episode. It being the 2nd worst episode of the series is a blistering hot take for me.
My bottom 5 would include: 1. The Art of Discourse. I can't get over how cringe it is that Britta and Jeff can get riled up so much by a few high schoolers. 2. Laws of Robotics & Party Rights. The premise of prisoners driving little segues with tablets on them is too ridiculous for me. Just get webcams and stream the classes online...
I think the segway premise is actually genius, you want to give them the full college experience after all, but what annoyed me most was the missed potential. Why doesn't willy have any relationship to jeff, the lawyer? It would have been easy to make it that Jeff was his lawyer back in the day, maybe he felt he was too lazy and did not represent him properly (especially after seeing him teaching) etc
Britta and Jeff getting riled up by annoying high-schoolers is absolutely 100% in character, and it's hilarious. The segway prisoners can definitely take G.I.Jeff's slot on this list for me tho.
I've gotta be honest, maybe it's just because I'm not familiar with Matt Berry, but I never found Grifting 101 anywhere near as bad as people make it seem. Honestly, I would watch it over a lot of season 4 episodes not on this list.
i was really surprised alternative history of the german invasion was not on this list because for me at least, it’s one of the few episodes i outright skip
@@bellbottomjeans4 it relies on the audience just immediately accepting that the one off intentionally table soccer guys are actual nazis, and the concept just... doesn't work. the episode isn't funny enough to make up for it, though the way they defeated them felt very season 1 in a way i enjoyed, and the final joke with everyone thinking the whole thing was planned by the teacher was actually pretty good.
I really dont think GI Jeff is that bad to be honest it has someting to tell about child nostalgia and the fear of getting old and some joke are genuanly funny, maybe not one of the best but certainly not one of the worst
Season 6 is legitimately my favourite season. Frankie is my favourite character. Not the best, but my favourite. The show really gets back to being wacky and out there again, and in such a spectacular fashion
I actually really liked G.I. Jeff, it certainly doesn't deserve to be on the top five worst. Also, unpopular opinion: Advanced Introduction To Finality wasn't that bad, probably one of the better Season 4 episodes IMO. I think that my least favorite episode is the one with Britta's parents. Just completely shat all over her character and turned her into a complete bitch. Season 6 in general kind of screwed over Britta. I mean, she basically got no conclusion in the end. WTF?
I love Britta's ending because it feels the most realistic... for some of us, life just continues on and we don't get some big dramatic new chapter in our life. She was already in that chapter. By the end of the show, her story is the one I could relate to most.
@@TheBloobster I really don’t care much about how “realistic” an ending is. I instead care about an actual satisfying conclusion. It doesn’t need to be “big and dramatic”, I would have just liked SOME kind of ending. Jeff at least GOT an ending, while Britta is completely ignored. That’s just really disappointing to me. And who the hell actually wants Community, the wacky genre parody sitcom to be super realistic? Realism has never been what the show is about. If grown adults treating paintball games like they’re life or death isn’t too unrealistic, then the plot following the basic conventions of a story isn’t too unrealistic either.
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 I completely disagree... They use those crazy circumstances to tell real stories about people's feelings. The genre bending and parody are all just a filter for the deeper stories. One person getting a normal ending was quite cathartic for people like me.
@@TheBloobster ok, fine you can have your opinion. I would just prefer if all the characters ended on at least some sort of conclusive note. I also do not consider her ending “normal” as much as “non-existent”.
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 "normal" in the sense that her life just keeps going... no big dramatic change. She already had a job, and an apartment... I see what you're saying, really, but the only other ending they ever alluded to was her psych degree, and she's didn't get that yet. It would be rly weird if suddenly she got a call from the Bartenders Association of the United Kingdom and flew away like Abed.
Cooperative Polygraphy is one of the funniest episodes in the series imo. When he puts the thermos of sperm in front of Jeff and casually tells him not to drink it, absolutely kills me every time. Pierce was the funniest character in the show and it was nice that the writers found a way to give us an entire episode of him after his departure.
How did the Anthropology episode with Betty White not hit the top list? The group implosion while the impromptu wedding goes on is fantastic. One of my lowest ranking episodes (outside of the season 4 shitshow) would be Abed and Annie in the Dreamatorium running scenarios.
Curious. I actually think it's a terrible episode and an absolute waste of Matt Berry's talent. He has a total amount of zero funny lines. And this coming from someone who loves season 6
In collective calligraphy (number 6 on this list) you can actually see the monkey stealing the pen if you pay close attention, it doesn't just disappear. Another piece on the massive pile this show is godly.
Honestly I just wouldn't be able to make a "worst 5 episodes" list for Community. Some are better than others but all of them are just wonderful to watch. Even season 4. Sorry not sorry!
For some reason, one of my favorite jokes in Community is during the presidential race episode. When Troy and Abed show the details of each candidate, Starburns' ethnicity is listed as "Cambodian"
I agree the Gas Leak Year (Season 4) comprises some of the lowest tier Community episodes, but I'd still take Season 4 of Community over half the crap TV shows out there
Hearing Dean Town Rap as the outro had losing it as a huge community fan and a huge Vulfpeck fan. I love that our lists are so different, it's interesting to hear other people's favorite and least favorite episodes!
The only disagreement I have is being too easy on season 6 lol. The Gay Dean episode is far and away the worst thing they've put out. The unfunny jolene parody, a B-plot that doesn't work, and worst of all taking what should be a real character moment for Pelton about addressing his sexuality and paying it off with a "comming out as political" joke that has all the punch of something a random boomer uncle would write. As mediocre as season 4 is, season 6 is intolerable and instead of bad community stops being community at all.
Conspiracy Theories & Interior Design will always be in my personal top ten. It was the first episode I watched of Community. The way it introduces you to most the characters makes them feel like they are your friends. You get a good feel for each character.
I love the fact that clip episodes are normally a cheap way to get an extra episode, but community spends more money on a clip episodes than on normal episodes.
I definitely don't have an issue with Britta not voting. Have you SEEN the candidates that corporate America is serving us? I don't understand how ANYONE votes for them!
Love your Top 10 list! I will be singing Baby Boomer Santa for the next several hours. and for obvious reasons, I've never seen the Advanced DnD episode; nevertheless, this list is AWESOME ! I defend the Grifting 101 episode because I like to think the writers are just telling us that college /is/ Grifting 101 -- as a college grad, i see no other meaning behind this episode, and it's undeniably funny. You are so right about Conventions of Space and Time and G.I. Jeff. HOWEVER, I think Biology 101 is a way worse episode than History 101. It's often times boring and just makes me angry. I love most of Season 6, but you're right that Intro to Recycled Cinema is just not very good at all.
Heroic origins is an episode that I wouldn't mind if it vanished from existence. It doesn't add anything to the characters. It actually damages the world of Community. Which I couldn't say even for your top 5 worst. That being said, season 4's finale is really really really close second. You can tell from the season 4 episodes that the writers are still trying. But this one, I think they just gave up.
@@sprycmg I can actually tolerate most season 4 episodes. But this one, I can't even watch it all the way through. This should have been removed, instead of the dnd episode.
Am I the only person who hated the entire 'Dictator Chang' plotline? It felt way too similar to 'bad guy Pierce'. I love the weird and wacky concept episodes and if it had been a one off, like Meow Meow Beans, that would have fit, but making it an entire season arc was just felt a little too dumb, even for Community.
I almost agree a hundred percent. I actually like freaky Friday episode and I think season 4 isn't that bad. I think season 6 is awful overall and I don't understand the grifting episode appeal
Mixology Certification is one of my favorite episodes because it just feels so normal. And that's not to undersell the value of the wackiness of the rest of the show, but I really just like seeing a glimpse of these characters in an everyday environment. It feels honest.
My favorite episodes! 1. Remedial Chaos Theory 2. Epidemiology 3. Virtual Systems Analysis 4. Contemporary American Poultry 5. Geothermal Escapism 6. Pillows and Blankets 7. Mixology Certification 8. Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas 9. Cooperative Calligraphy 10. Cooperative Polyagraphy My least favorites generally lined up with the ones in the video but another I really don't like is Competitive Wine Tasting
Cool list. I wouldn't have chosen half of them, but the choices make sense and the narration's humor is Harmon-worthy. Kudos for picking one "bad" episode I really enjoy. Bastard!
@@MrMllx "It's you against the world and you will not win but you get to make your moves, not them". I don't think anyone but Dan Harmon could write that
Great list! Can't really argue with any entries on the top side, although, to be fair, I could probably come up with another equally deserving list with no overlapping episodes. I was especially glad you zoomed in on the 7and7 scene from Mixology Certification. "It's a high school drink for girls," is a classic Winger quip sitting atop a vast sea of sadness (I mean, who says that to someone after the story Troy just told?) in the realm of "Denny's is for winners," "Clothes make the man, Troy," and of course, "See what happens when I leave you guys alone?"
Kinda sad that the Pillowtown vs Blanketsburg episode didn't make the top 10. That episode really shows how much Community can do when it's forced to use so little. Also, they absolutely nailed the PBS documentary style for the episode. And the bit about the confusing battleground names is top tier.
Citizens of Blanketburg, I ask you now to prepare for war.
For real. The Keith David narration is perfection.
Honestly that episode with the production quality of something like Modern Warfare might have been too 5.
That’s honestly one of my least favorites just because of how slow it is
Doing a Ken Burns style PBS documentary was absolutely BRILLIANT.
I’m surprised the Contemporary American Poultry didn’t make it on here, despite being mentioned several times. It sets up Troy’s monkey for one of the show’s best episodes, it allows Abed to leave his scope for even just a moment, showing that he wants to connect with people even more than he lets on, and the one to pull him out of his delusion is Jeff, the person that he had the best relationship. I do love the My Dinner with Andre Dinner with Abed Episode, but this is the one I CONSISTENTLY rewatch. On top of that, it has really solid jokes and even perfect character moments, like Pierce not allowing Travis in, or them naming the monkey thanks to a poll.
Yeah, this is the one episode I always show people who haven’t seen Community. It’s the start of all the amazing full-episode parodies, and it’s just so much fun the whole time. One of the best for sure
It is by far my favorite episode of the entire show after over 15 rewatches.
This was also the first episode of Community that felt truly special. Before, the show just felt like a sitcom about a college but that episode made me realize how creative they could really be
You mean Annie's Boobs?
Contemporary American Poultry is my #1. I was waiting for it to be #1 here. Great list though!
Annie describing the love scene in Advanced D&D is the single funniest thing I've seen on TV.
The scene where Annie Chloroforms the security guard is by far my favorite scene.
Annie is very young. We try not to sexualice her.
Troy taking notes was the cherry on top
She mouths "whip out my huge member" hahaha
Hector the well-endowed is a classic
The puppet episode is the only episode i ever consistently skip on rewatch, so I'm surprised it didn't make it on the list. Ironically enough, for all of its flaws, the season 4 paintball episode actually had one of my favorite jokes of the show. It's when Troy faces off against evil Troy and evil Troy states one of them is out of bullets. Idk why but it gets me every time. Maybe it's just Donald's perfect delivery and comedic timing idk.
Strong agree. The puppet episode is the only one is my pick for worst episode and the only one I skip. The emotions all ring false, the “revelations” feel out of character (if not full character assassination), and the guest stars and songs are cringey and wasted.
One of my favorite Troy lines(from different episode) is "the first time I got punched in the face I was like 'oh no' and then I was like 'this is a story." Troy rocks
The puppet episode is still better than most of season 5 and 6 imo
@@ericv5435 yeah I actually like parts of the puppet episode
Yeah, I've tried multiple times to watch the pupper episode, in different mindsets. Sober, high, drunk, high and drunk. Never even gets a chuckle from me.
Documentary Filmmaking: Redux is one of my favorite episodes.
“Mr. Guzmán, Luis, thank you, and can I just say, I loved you in… innnnnnnnnnnnnn- IMDb.” and “Ok, you get this wrong one more time? I’m segregating the school.”, SUCH UNDERRATED LINES. And then to end it all off?, the dean, just burnin his university degree and rubbin the ashes on his completely naked body while wailin like a wild animal, fuckin perfect episode in my opinion.
Megan Ganz wrote some of the best episodes for the show, she’s legitimately hilarious. It’s too bad Dan treated her like shit when she worked for him, but I’m glad they’ve both made amends with each other.
it’s also my favorite episode and my favorite lines
Lets go!!! Lets dean, dean machine, got dean, got much, much got
this is so true its one of the funniest eps n i was looking for a comment defending ittttt
“STOP SAYING IM DIFFERENT”
He didn’t just “treat her like shit” he sexually assaulted her and was then rehired cuz ratings. Fuck Dan Harmon.
Every time I watch the DND episode I think about alternate timeline where Chevy Chase isn't pure ego, works with Dan to craft the character of Pierce, and getting his late career emmy, solidifying his legacy. He was really amazing in this role, and I think if there'd been a better relationship between actor and showrunner, that character would've been peak. Every time he uses the amulet to make Neil's character fat I cackle, he's so good
So many things AYbed So many things
Yeah but would Pierce be funny if Chevy Chase wasnt Chevy Chase (and your not).
His Legacy was already semented in 1975 anyways with "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead".
I'm sorry but Chevy Chase is motherfucking Chevy Chase, he didn't need a TV show in the 2010s to cement his legacy, he did that shit back in the 70s.

Yeah. Chevy chase’s character could have had an amazing arc if he wasn’t so problematic as an actor. Missed opportunity.
My favorite episode is probably "Basic Lupine Urology" from season 3.
I just like the homage to Law&Order! I just love everything with professor Kane in it. Because other really good episode from that season is "competitive ecology". Poor Todd...
"I just had a terrible nightmare that Jeff was a pompous ass! ...Also Todd was there." 😂😂
None taken
@@joshg2188 OFFENSE TAKEN! Offense taken...
Competitive ecology is my favourite episode for sure
One of my favorite episodes too
As great as that episode was, the title was perfect! It took me a while to figure out the joke there, but once I did, I really appreciated the true genius of it!
I don’t see a lot of people talking about Epidemiology, but it’s the episode I could rewatch over and over and never get tired of. I like how it shows Troy learning to lean into his “nerd” side (and ultimately saving the day because of it), the Abba soundtrack of it all, the humor, THE ACTION, “I love you, I know”, etc. Maybe I just love a good zombie plot.
I love it. Rich and Dean are so good in this episode
It’s my favourite!! I don’t even like zombie plots or anything horror related but the episode is perfect and the abba is the cherry on top
annies moving episode had my favourite moment which was the montage of a kiss from a rose. the karaoke which the dean reveals he planned it. it’s perfection
🎵 Jesuuuuuuuuuus loves marijuaaaannnaaaaaaa🎶
I have a weird love for seasons 5-6. They're like the underdog seasons, especially 6, and they take liberties that most shows that long in the tooth really wouldn't. Also Elroy Patashnik is my favorite member of the group.
Look at you, working this comment section! You sure know how to post a comment on a TH-cam 👍🏾👍🏾
@@artikagunathasan4040 now that's a man who knows how to marry his cousin!
i liked hickey. i know he didn’t contribute much but i still enjoyed his character. he was real and dark.
Honestly, 6 is one of my favorites. I feel like the writers kinda just said fuck it with all the wierd ideas
fully agree
I absolutely disagree with G.I.Jeff being one of the three worst episodes, I think that’s one of Season 5’s absolute best episodes because of how it relates to Jeff’s existentialism. (Edit: I also disagree about Virtual Systems Analysis)
yeah i cannot relate to anyone who dislikes that episode. it's in the top 5 for me. i think this dude is just flat out wrong. Dude seems to have missed the point of the episode AND missed the jokes.
his takes on season 5 and 6 basically ruined his retrospective video for me. What an absolute waste of 55 minutes.
@@BrowncoatFairy Seasons 5 & 6 get WAY too much hate in my opinion; I honestly think these are the seasons with the funniest end gags
@@mr.moviemafia yeah IDK it's weird to me as well I always felt season 4 and 5 were like definitely the worst, but I quite liked season 6
I audibly gasped when I heard G.I Jeff in bottom 5
Me too?? Glad to hear others feel that way too.
“It’s all terrain dummy” is my favorite one liner of all time. Also, I love how your list is almost entirely different from mine but I understand yours perfectly. That’s just how good the show is.
so many good episodes that i can understand being top10 for different people
What a beautiful perspective!!!! And so true. My number one favorite and his was the same. The rest were different or in different orders. But it all says we love *Community* because it was *Streets Ahead!* 🥰🤗
My favorite has to be Geothermal Escapism. I love the homage and the story is just so perfect. I cry every time. In a sense, its also the end of the series with Troy leaving. But it ended on the highest of high notes
I had to keep pausing that episode because I was sobbing too hard to hear the dialogue. It’s uncool for a show to be that adept at making me laugh while ripping my heart out.
This is the right answer.
I agree. It's my 2nd favorite episode (the 1st being *Advanced Dungeons & Dragons* since I'm serious about my nerdom 😁). No matter how many times I watch it, I cry when Abed "dies" in the lava, and then again at how Britta understand the seriousness of helping Troy to revive him. It's beautiful.
By now, many people may have noticed, but the very next episode after Troy leaves, at the end Professor Hickey is home watching the news. The lower crawl on the news reads, *"Actor LaVar Burton and non-celebrity guest captured by pirates."* I had seen that episode 6 or 7 times, but happened to pause it to grab something and when I came back, I noticed it. Laughed myself silly!!! 😅🤣😆
Wow didn't realize how much people hated on season 6. For me a lot of my favorites are in season 6, although it's a bit hit or miss overall. basic email security, wedding videography, and rv repair are three of the funniest episodes of the series for me.
I love the grifting episode
I liked season 6 quite a bit.
@@ValkyrieCainEpicness"You hit me... with a woman's hand! You midwestern floozy!" "I lived in New York!"
I think season 6 is pretty good but personally I hate the color grading in some scenes of the season, it kinda feels incomplete.
That season grew on me
1:40 “Occasionally, our campus erupts into a flawless, post modern homage to action adventure mythology, mischaracterized by the ignorant as parody”
-Abed Nadir
S6E13
love this show. it never did get the appreciation that it deserved while it was running, and glad to see that it's getting that recognition now, despite some lows. the highs were SO SO good
For me, the #1 episode of Community will always be Pillows And Blankets. Just the memory of Annie's texts about where to buy the emojis sends me. 🍣🎂🛑⛄☂
For me, in that episode, my favorite parts are Keith David explaining the different locations that don't match the names (South Hall named after General North). And then, when Abed totally destroys Troy with the email saying he cries easily.
And pierces weapon of mass destruction😂😂😂 the introduction was so good
i found the G.I Joe entertaining but i understand why it’s on the list it just feels kinda hollow compared the other animation episodes. i’m kinda shocked that puppet episode isn’t on the list i really hated that one.
Yeah the puppet one to me is the lowest of the low … I get like secondhand embarrassment when watching it
I hate that the dnd episode isn’t on streaming. Really a slap in the face to one of the best episodes of television.
I'm with you! And especially because *_literally No Black People complained about it!!!_* They just decided that we *_should_* be offended by Chang's makeup as a Dark Elf. I hate that SJW crap when others decide to ruin everything on our behalf. 🙄 I bought the DVD box set so I can watch it constantly.
But they solved racism by hiding that episode from streaming (just kidding, in case it isn't obvious)
Abed's Christmas was dumb. Really, he doesn't understand Christmas? And I am supposed to think it is good because of old school stop motion animation? And the lame Lost reference. No.
I thought Finality paid off the storyline well.
How do you like "Remedial" but not its payoff graduation episode?
You mentionned the first paintball episode because it has its own visual identity, but the second one completely nailed it by turning it into a Werstern Movie. With its own aesthetic. I find it a bit better. I think this one is my favourite ex aequo with the pen episode.^^
Cooperative Calligraphy is the best episode in Community and nobody can change my mind. Abed tracking the cycles, Pierce saying the thief is Troy, and the self-awareness that it's a bottle episode are all peak comedy.
i totally agree
One of my favorite bits in that episode is that one can actually see the monkey take the pen if one slows it down in the right place.
A really nice touch.
"stop letting him make you realize stuff" is one of the greatest lines of comedy ever delivered
Nice list. Two misses though:
1. GI Jeff episode deserves to be in the top ten of Best shows simply for the code names: Tight Ship, Buzz-Kill, and Three Kids
2. Top 10 needs to included “Digital Estate Planning”. That episode is non conventional, well written development of characters, full of twists, and funny as hell.
Yeah, i feel Gi Jeff Is way overhated. I didn't even watch a single episode of GI Joe but i enjoyed that one. Even if it's true it's not the best gimmick episode of the show
Nah. GI Jeff was not funny
I dislike the GI Jeff episode so much that's when I stop watching the show in its entirety. Absolutely not.
Oh yeah, Digital Estate Planning is definitely in my Top 10.
GI Jeff would be in my bottom 10, and I watched GI Joe as a kid... this episode just did not hit.
I think the context of G.I. Jeff most likely airing after an episode of Access Hollywood and shocking anyone that didn't know what it was and likely *immediately* turning it off makes the whole conceit/premise incredibly hilarious
"We finally figured out a way to make paintball cool again."
If there was a line that was least earned in the series, it's this one. They managed to trash both paintball and the darkest timeline in one episode.
It was sooo embarrassing
one episode i think should be in the top 10 is virtual systems analysis. it’s one of the episodes that explores abeds mind that people often don’t talk about but it’s done beautifully. the way every actor is playing themselves being played by abed is so fun and interesting to think about and you get to see super cool development with abed and annie’s friendship!! i’ve analyzed it a couple times for essays haha
this list is great though there’s so many that i’ve never thought to rank high on a top 10 list that now make so much sense for yhat
I love remedial chaos theraphy. I love that we get to see how the different characters react to the same situations, like Pierce giving the present to Troy, and then not doing it and so on. I also love the fact that in every single timeline Jeff shushes Britta singing but when he’s the one leaving they end up having the best time singing to the music and the vibe of that is just amazing
Absolute best episode bro
"Ok so this is definitely a gun"
One of my favourite Troy lines.
my favorite episode is probably the Zombie outbreak one. the scene with the cat made me laugh more than anything
🙀 *"Is someone THROWING it?!!!"* 🤣😅🤣😅
Terrific list, heartbreaking though it is to see no Epidemiology on here, the Godfather of all "Critical Plot Points Introduced in Absurd Episodes" episodes.
I agree with pretty much everything but Intro to Recycled Cinema. I dunno, I just have a lot of fun with that one. Maybe it was the fun ways they got so much mileage out of the limited chang footage. Maybe it was Annie. I dunno.
He's pretty wrong about that one. It's a hilarious episode. Grifting 101 is the one episode from season 6 I think it's an absolute stinker. And personally, I would have had Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, Repilot and the puppet episode in the bottom 5
Documentary Filmmaking Redux has to be the funniest episode for me, it's not my absolute favorite but it cracks the top 3 for sure, such a creative and utterly hilarious episode that gets way too overlooked.
That is my favorite episode, almost completely due to it's hilarity
Best episode for me will always be S2E1. Britta and Jeff get into a competition to prove who can love the other more. Annie is having a mental breakdown over Jeff getting together with Britta, completely oblivious to the fact they hate eachother at this point and are just playing a game of love chicken trying to make the other confess they don’t love the other.
I remember seeing the advertisement for modern warfare and watching it when it aired in 2010. I immediately knew it was something special and bought the first season on DVD as soon as I could. It's probably tied with its always sunny in Philadelphia for my favorite sitcom of all time. Scrubs is up there too though.
"And I'm playing... Ew! Hector the well endowed?! Abed!"
"I thought Troy was gonna take that one"
"I'll bet you did"
Thanks so much for this Best and Worst list. I adore this show, it's so wonderfully quirky, but sadly behind the scenes drama tended to overshadow the show itself.
What happened?
discreetly checks off "trina q" from film analysis bingo card
THANK YOU! I feel like Regional Holiday Music is the single most underrated episode of the show. It’s not that it’s insanely good (I mean it is but whatever) but I audibly laugh so loudly every time I watch it. Every second of it is funny. Shirley’s “I’m scared to go into the study room, there’s so many top hats in there” line is so unexplainably funny to me, and every song slaps. Remedial Chaos Theory is the best episode imo (Basic Lupine Urology is a close second if not tied first) but RHM takes the cake for funniest.
i don't tell anyone that's one of my favorite episodes because of how ridiculous it is, but it's also so funny
I'm personally mixed about Jeff taking anti-aging pills in G.I. Jeff. On the one hand I think the theme of aging and things naturally coming to an end was thematically appropriate for community at the time because the show was also naturally dying out and thing were becoming less non-sensicle, so a desperate grasp to when times were good and things didn't have to make sense made it feel like the characters were reacting to it the same way as the audience did and it made me like the maturing cast of characters a litte more. On the other hand I dont think Jeff would be stupid enough to take anti-aging pills and even the concept of them existing and knocking you out is somehow more implausible than seeing the world in claymation to the point where it feels forced and not particularly subtle.
For me accounting for lawyers 2x02 is my favorite episode it has 2 of my favorite gags in the show between the Troy you have to believe and the chloroform easily one of the most rewatchable shows in the series
My favorite episodes of the series:
1. Epidemiology
2. Cooperative Calligraphy
3. Mixology Certification
4. Basic Lupine Urology
5. Remidal Chaos Theory
6. A Fist Full of Paintballs/A Few paintballs more
7. Studies in Modern Movement
8. Digital Estate Planning
9. Intermediate Doc Filmmaking
10. Cooperative Polyagraphy
I love how you slipped in the "ex-cethra" lmao. and the peanut bar payday rap in the end is just a nice cherry on top 👌
I can excuse not liking GI Jeff but i draw the line at the ham girl episode.
Dan Harmon has said its one of his favorite episodes. Its so wacky and yet so creative, sort of what Dan was doing with Rick & Morty at the time.
It also has one of the funniest moments in the show imo, when Jeff says “Let me use a metaphor I can understand.. every day I work out” Abed’s sarcastic “really?” gets me every time.
My personal favourite is the second paintball episode, I love their use of pierces pettiness when he’s been kicked out of the group.
Slip Maker has a weird thing against season 6. Intro To Recycled Cinema is excellent. The rest of the list is solid but this is way, way off.
I'm pretty shocked that Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking and Documentary Filmmaking: Redux didn't make it into the top 10 - they are what The Office wished their episodes were. Also I just loved the whole Troy and LeVar Burton dynamic (and the whole ott commercial with Luis Guzman - it really felt like the whole show had been slowly building up to something like that with a real celeb)
Not on board with the bottom 5, but this is an excellent list and well-done!
Does anyone else like Intro To Recycled Cinema? To me it's one of the most memorable season 6 episodes along with ladders, the finale, the wedding episode, and the email hack episode. It being the 2nd worst episode of the series is a blistering hot take for me.
I also like it a lot. Season 6 has a lot of really good episodes.
i think the episode could have been made better but its also probably the funniest episode in 6th season
My bottom 5 would include:
1. The Art of Discourse. I can't get over how cringe it is that Britta and Jeff can get riled up so much by a few high schoolers.
2. Laws of Robotics & Party Rights. The premise of prisoners driving little segues with tablets on them is too ridiculous for me. Just get webcams and stream the classes online...
I think the segway premise is actually genius, you want to give them the full college experience after all, but what annoyed me most was the missed potential.
Why doesn't willy have any relationship to jeff, the lawyer?
It would have been easy to make it that Jeff was his lawyer back in the day, maybe he felt he was too lazy and did not represent him properly (especially after seeing him teaching) etc
99% of people would be riled up by a few high schoolers
@@aldoushuxley5953 you said exactly what I was thinking
Britta and Jeff getting riled up by annoying high-schoolers is absolutely 100% in character, and it's hilarious.
The segway prisoners can definitely take G.I.Jeff's slot on this list for me tho.
Yes they are unwatchable
I've gotta be honest, maybe it's just because I'm not familiar with Matt Berry, but I never found Grifting 101 anywhere near as bad as people make it seem. Honestly, I would watch it over a lot of season 4 episodes not on this list.
i was really surprised alternative history of the german invasion was not on this list because for me at least, it’s one of the few episodes i outright skip
@@bellbottomjeans4 it relies on the audience just immediately accepting that the one off intentionally table soccer guys are actual nazis, and the concept just... doesn't work. the episode isn't funny enough to make up for it, though the way they defeated them felt very season 1 in a way i enjoyed, and the final joke with everyone thinking the whole thing was planned by the teacher was actually pretty good.
I still don't get the hate for GI Jeff. I think it's one of Season 5's best episodes easily. Way better than that god awful S5 finale.
I really dont think GI Jeff is that bad to be honest it has someting to tell about child nostalgia and the fear of getting old and some joke are genuanly funny, maybe not one of the best but certainly not one of the worst
Season 6 is legitimately my favourite season. Frankie is my favourite character. Not the best, but my favourite. The show really gets back to being wacky and out there again, and in such a spectacular fashion
G.I Jeff is amazing and I’ll die on this hill
I actually really liked G.I. Jeff, it certainly doesn't deserve to be on the top five worst. Also, unpopular opinion: Advanced Introduction To Finality wasn't that bad, probably one of the better Season 4 episodes IMO.
I think that my least favorite episode is the one with Britta's parents. Just completely shat all over her character and turned her into a complete bitch. Season 6 in general kind of screwed over Britta. I mean, she basically got no conclusion in the end. WTF?
I love Britta's ending because it feels the most realistic... for some of us, life just continues on and we don't get some big dramatic new chapter in our life. She was already in that chapter.
By the end of the show, her story is the one I could relate to most.
@@TheBloobster I really don’t care much about how “realistic” an ending is. I instead care about an actual satisfying conclusion. It doesn’t need to be “big and dramatic”, I would have just liked SOME kind of ending. Jeff at least GOT an ending, while Britta is completely ignored. That’s just really disappointing to me.
And who the hell actually wants Community, the wacky genre parody sitcom to be super realistic? Realism has never been what the show is about. If grown adults treating paintball games like they’re life or death isn’t too unrealistic, then the plot following the basic conventions of a story isn’t too unrealistic either.
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 I completely disagree... They use those crazy circumstances to tell real stories about people's feelings.
The genre bending and parody are all just a filter for the deeper stories. One person getting a normal ending was quite cathartic for people like me.
@@TheBloobster ok, fine you can have your opinion. I would just prefer if all the characters ended on at least some sort of conclusive note. I also do not consider her ending “normal” as much as “non-existent”.
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 "normal" in the sense that her life just keeps going... no big dramatic change. She already had a job, and an apartment... I see what you're saying, really, but the only other ending they ever alluded to was her psych degree, and she's didn't get that yet.
It would be rly weird if suddenly she got a call from the Bartenders Association of the United Kingdom and flew away like Abed.
Cooperative Polygraphy is one of the funniest episodes in the series imo.
When he puts the thermos of sperm in front of Jeff and casually tells him not to drink it, absolutely kills me every time. Pierce was the funniest character in the show and it was nice that the writers found a way to give us an entire episode of him after his departure.
Its criminal that the best episode of the show isnt on Netflix because of Chang's 'blackface'
How did the Anthropology episode with Betty White not hit the top list? The group implosion while the impromptu wedding goes on is fantastic. One of my lowest ranking episodes (outside of the season 4 shitshow) would be Abed and Annie in the Dreamatorium running scenarios.
S2 E1 is a banger, I agree, although, I disagree on the dreamatorium episode. that one is in my top 5
To be honest, I think almost the majority of episodes in seasons 1 and 2 are absolutely top tier. It's hard to seperate them.
I loved the Grifting episode, Matt Berry is the best, and it actually makes sense how they win
Curious. I actually think it's a terrible episode and an absolute waste of Matt Berry's talent. He has a total amount of zero funny lines. And this coming from someone who loves season 6
So many people place advanced D&D as their favourite episode. Such a travesty that its absent on Netflix because of "racism".
In collective calligraphy (number 6 on this list) you can actually see the monkey stealing the pen if you pay close attention, it doesn't just disappear. Another piece on the massive pile this show is godly.
Honestly I just wouldn't be able to make a "worst 5 episodes" list for Community. Some are better than others but all of them are just wonderful to watch. Even season 4. Sorry not sorry!
Of fucking course the best episode is the ONE that's not available on Netflix.
For some reason, one of my favorite jokes in Community is during the presidential race episode. When Troy and Abed show the details of each candidate, Starburns' ethnicity is listed as "Cambodian"
interesting. I really, REALLY, like G. I. Jeff.
Didn't expect it on this list :)
"If you wanted to make a blanket city at my alma mater ASU, you'd get crabs."
Most underrated line in the whole video.
Forks up!
okay the peanut rap overlayed with vulfpeck is the greatest thing ive ever experiences in my life. thank you so much for that
I’m a remedial chaos theory > Advanced D&D kind of person but they’re easily 1 and 2
All 110 episodes might be in the running, but let's be honest. This list is primarily going to be seasons 1-3 with maybe some season 5 stuff.
I agree the Gas Leak Year (Season 4) comprises some of the lowest tier Community episodes, but I'd still take Season 4 of Community over half the crap TV shows out there
I can't disagree with your list, but I have always really loved Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking.
More fish for Kunta.
Did you just mispronounced "et cetera."?
Hearing Dean Town Rap as the outro had losing it as a huge community fan and a huge Vulfpeck fan. I love that our lists are so different, it's interesting to hear other people's favorite and least favorite episodes!
Pillowtown vs Blanketsburg and the KFC motorhome episode are my two favorites.
“This list stinks like a butt convention”. The G I Joe parody is one of the best episodes not worst
See, I disagree. G.I. Jeff is just obnoxious to me. It's always one I skip because I never liked the G.I. Joe cartoons. They were pretty lame, tbh.
It's not even top 50, how in the world could you think it's one of the best even if you like it?
The only disagreement I have is being too easy on season 6 lol. The Gay Dean episode is far and away the worst thing they've put out. The unfunny jolene parody, a B-plot that doesn't work, and worst of all taking what should be a real character moment for Pelton about addressing his sexuality and paying it off with a "comming out as political" joke that has all the punch of something a random boomer uncle would write.
As mediocre as season 4 is, season 6 is intolerable and instead of bad community stops being community at all.
Conspiracy Theories & Interior Design will always be in my personal top ten. It was the first episode I watched of Community. The way it introduces you to most the characters makes them feel like they are your friends. You get a good feel for each character.
I am very sad that “Basic Intergluteal Numismatics” the ass crack bandit episode didn't even get mentioned here.
I love the fact that clip episodes are normally a cheap way to get an extra episode, but community spends more money on a clip episodes than on normal episodes.
I’m kind of upset that the hot lava episode didn’t make the list. It’s easily my favorite episode and is such a great sendoff for Troy.
24:44 him saying etc. wrong is the funniest small easter egg ever. i love you slip maker
That thumbnail had better not indicate that the GI Joe episode is one of the worst
Edit: I'm devastated
I definitely don't have an issue with Britta not voting. Have you SEEN the candidates that corporate America is serving us? I don't understand how ANYONE votes for them!
Not voting does nothing material to stop that though
@@vvvsss796 But voting does nothing to stop it either. May as well use your time doing something you enjoy
Once Troy left I was done. Only reason I could really get through season 4 was Troy and Abed so after that I was done.
Love your Top 10 list! I will be singing Baby Boomer Santa for the next several hours. and for obvious reasons, I've never seen the Advanced DnD episode; nevertheless, this list is AWESOME !
I defend the Grifting 101 episode because I like to think the writers are just telling us that college /is/ Grifting 101 -- as a college grad, i see no other meaning behind this episode, and it's undeniably funny.
You are so right about Conventions of Space and Time and G.I. Jeff. HOWEVER, I think Biology 101 is a way worse episode than History 101. It's often times boring and just makes me angry. I love most of Season 6, but you're right that Intro to Recycled Cinema is just not very good at all.
go watch the dnd episode
12:14 Thank you for speaking the truth.
Heroic origins is an episode that I wouldn't mind if it vanished from existence. It doesn't add anything to the characters. It actually damages the world of Community. Which I couldn't say even for your top 5 worst.
That being said, season 4's finale is really really really close second. You can tell from the season 4 episodes that the writers are still trying. But this one, I think they just gave up.
That’s the one with the backstory of them at the mall right? Utter garbage
@@sprycmg I can actually tolerate most season 4 episodes. But this one, I can't even watch it all the way through. This should have been removed, instead of the dnd episode.
Am I the only person who hated the entire 'Dictator Chang' plotline? It felt way too similar to 'bad guy Pierce'.
I love the weird and wacky concept episodes and if it had been a one off, like Meow Meow Beans, that would have fit, but making it an entire season arc was just felt a little too dumb, even for Community.
I almost agree a hundred percent. I actually like freaky Friday episode and I think season 4 isn't that bad. I think season 6 is awful overall and I don't understand the grifting episode appeal
Give me Digital Estate Planning any day of the week. Hilarious, heart breaking, heart warming. Love it.
Mixology Certification is one of my favorite episodes because it just feels so normal. And that's not to undersell the value of the wackiness of the rest of the show, but I really just like seeing a glimpse of these characters in an everyday environment. It feels honest.
My favorite episodes!
1. Remedial Chaos Theory
2. Epidemiology
3. Virtual Systems Analysis
4. Contemporary American Poultry
5. Geothermal Escapism
6. Pillows and Blankets
7. Mixology Certification
8. Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas
9. Cooperative Calligraphy
10. Cooperative Polyagraphy
My least favorites generally lined up with the ones in the video but another I really don't like is Competitive Wine Tasting
Cool list. I wouldn't have chosen half of them, but the choices make sense and the narration's humor is Harmon-worthy. Kudos for picking one "bad" episode I really enjoy. Bastard!
Sad that the DnD episode is out of the Netflix version, so it's the only one I've never seen.
I know season 6 is right up (down?) there with season 4 with some fans but Wedding Videography is as good as any of the best episodes from 1-3
Chang’s speech to Garret at the end, though out of nowhere, are words to live by and one of my favourite moments in the show
@@MrMllx "It's you against the world and you will not win but you get to make your moves, not them". I don't think anyone but Dan Harmon could write that
The last 3 episodes of season 6 is top tier Community and I also really like Intro to Recycled Cinema
S6 is the 2nd best season after S2 imo, I love every episode of the season and Elroy and Frankie are hilarious.
I'm so glad someone else pointed it out, G.I. Jeff is a boring episode
Great list! Can't really argue with any entries on the top side, although, to be fair, I could probably come up with another equally deserving list with no overlapping episodes. I was especially glad you zoomed in on the 7and7 scene from Mixology Certification. "It's a high school drink for girls," is a classic Winger quip sitting atop a vast sea of sadness (I mean, who says that to someone after the story Troy just told?) in the realm of "Denny's is for winners," "Clothes make the man, Troy," and of course, "See what happens when I leave you guys alone?"
The ass crack bandit episode was one of my favourites.
Regional Holiday Music isn't just a great Xmas episode, it's a brilliant take on Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
Trash list, g.i. jeff is incredible. You didnt get it
Even the worse episodes are better than most of TV
