This is a really emotional scene, when Abed said “You didn’t have to” that shit was sad. All he wanted was to be understood and nobody did, and he couldn’t even tell his dad how he felt. That’s just sad
To be honest i kinda find it touching that only abed’s father was emotional over the short film cause he and abed are the only ones who truly understand the film
as an autistic person whose parents have argued over me, with my dad irritated that i cant be a normal kid and both of them equally frustrated that i cant communicate the way they understand, and with me feeling like im a huge burden on them, this scene broke me. i watched community because people told me abed was autistic, and i wanted to see that for myself, but god, i was not ready for this punch. this might be one of my favourite scenes in television history
You are a beautiful person, I'm sorry if that sounded weird but it's true. I myself am autistic (or at least I think I am) and I kind of understand what you're going threw
I think he sent the wrong message to each person...Britta was meant to get the weezer message and Abeds Dad Ravi Shankar.....absolutely brilliant gag haha
Britta just likes being seen doing nice stuff, this is the same woman who became homeless and used it as an opportunity to create awareness for homeless people Britta is kinda pathetic
Another thing that made this episode great was that it was the *THIRD* episode of the series. It's rare to see a sitcom to place such an emotional weight just THREE episodes in, where we often need time to settle in with characters. But this, and the previous two episodes, had already managed to settle the character of Abed and how he'd act with his family in such a short period of time, and the heavy punch to our emotions this early on is something I've yet to see in other TV series.
They address the elephant in the room early which is a bold move. Most sitcoms just subtly hints at its characters disorders. By doing this we wouldnt get too annoyed about abeds antics and give abed more character depth and not just some guy with a disorder trope.
This is what makes the show so great. It pulls no emotional punches, and juxtaposes them with jokes to create this constant emotional whiplash. What a ride.
It makes more sense this way. This episode couldn't take place after the first few episodes because it works for both the audience and the characters to not be used to Abed's attitude
It breaks my heart that this wasn't the show we got. I still enjoy the one we did get, but if this was the show we got, I think it would have made for some seriously good television.
@@tivednagol9127 I think the secret detail is Britta was suppose to get the text for Weezer and Abed's dad the tickets for Ravi Shankar, but it got shmixed
@@shingouki995 nah cause they both still came to see who he texted them about. I think it's just supposed to be funny cause you would expect it to be the other way around lol
@@justanotherone9685 I'm just curious in this context which Ravi Shankar are the referring to. I know of one who is a classical Indian musician but I doubt Britta or Abed's father(who is an Arab) would know of him.
i know this is funny but i cant help but genuinely get super emotional about this scene. his dad wont ever truly understand his love for film but he realizes how much it genuinely helps him express himself. hits so hard. this show is genius for moments like this when something really real happens but then you turn around and laugh i off. abed is my favorite character from any media to date. i never watched this show until this week as of typing this but it has aged really well even when its clearly dated at certain points.
It's sad but he's still used and manipulated people who care about him in order to make a movie. Whatever Abeds mental thing is I think he gets way too much of a pass. It's like he has no sense of empathy towards other people whatsoever and that's more sociopathic than say autistic. Though I'm not psychologist it just rubs me the wrong way. That's why I was thrilled when in season 5 he got handcuffed and couldn't make it to his movie. It showed that no one really stood up to him before that and thus he was basically a spoiled brat. Oh poor Abed that's just how he is and could get away with whatever manipulation he gets in mind.
As an individual with ASD, Abed's character has always been the most relatable character for me out of any TV series. Love this show. Danny Pudi is an amazing actor.
I remember watching this for the first time back when it aired, and it was the moment I fell in love with the show. It had so much heart, and the lead up to the film had so many moments that could have been throwaway, but they weren't - Abed became so much more fleshed out and it humanised the show so much even though it was still silly af. I miss this special show!
This is what set season 1 apart. It's really rare for a show to do its best work in the first season. We got to know about Abed and a little of why he is how he is. I love the Abed character, but for some reason season 2 and especially season 3 put him down this dark descent of needing therapy where he freaks out over things that would never have bothered him in the first season.
The way i understood it was : Later on, on season 2 and 3, he start to freak out over past thing precisely because he started to understand it. He experienced friendship, rivalry, community goals and compromise during all his time with the stufy group and that made him reflect on past self. Hence the freak out
Who else recreates their difficult family dynamics with their grown up friends? Abed didn't just use them for the lines.. in a way their connection really resembles the relationship he had with his parents.
This was the scene that sold me on Community, emotional, hilarious, blended perfectly, then Abed last line lol It’s not called friend business.... it’s called show business 😎
Jeff: ...it's time to communicate. Britta: Have you met Abed? A few moments later... Britta: You need to let him make his own decisions. Abed's Dad: Have you met Abed? I liked the little bit of parallelism in the dialogue here.
From season 1, abed had nuance. This scene shows that nuance. Then season 4 took the socially awkward parts of his character, and separated it from most of his redeeming traits.
As a film student I’m thinking it’s kinda of a narrative experimental documentary because it’s talking about his life when his mom left and in that process of abandonments making it hard to tell about in his own words but showing it how he’s feeling about in his head
Jeff’s point at the beginning of the scene is very similar to what Abed says while doing his Jeff impression in the episode Physical Education. Here Jeff says “Everybody should always do whatever they want, and leave each other out of it.” In P.E. Abed says “For God’s sakes, everybody do whatever you want. Leave each other alone.”
This is by far the most touching and emotional moment of all of Community. I'm astounded that this was only the first season but this managed to break every piece of my heart. How amazing😓😓😥😥
Obviously this scene is all kinds of emotional, and all kinds of well-done, but the moment at 2:01 where the guy is standing there is one of the single best jokes in tv history imo!!!
Well Abed's father's frustration at Britta is understandable, not only does he run a falafel stand, he is also a successful KIDNEY STONES doctor who saved Joey's life!
"I think the wrong person just left." - First time I heard that, I felt like someone impaled me through my chest with a ten-foot spear and also stabbed a pencil through both of my eyeballs. Damn, words can hurt!
Abed's mother had the most impact on his psyche.. She abandons him, starts a family of her own and again abandons him for the 2nd time.. I feel really bad for Abed..
This scene makes me sad that they decided to make the characters shell of their original character. I like Jeff and Britta as parents figures to everyone not becuase of shipping but because it helps show they’re supposed to be the mature and adults. Britta slowly becomes a character who just wants anarchy just cause but in this scene she doesn’t want to just make abed go crazy but rather wanrs him to to have his own freedom
TBH I feel Britta is the only true shell compared to the other characters. Despite the wackiness of post season 1 everything moves the character development with or despite the madness. Though Britta gets left behind in the dust while Abed and Annie deal with their self confidence, Jeff learns to care more about others, Troy diversifies his viewpoints and Shirley becomes more tolerant but Britta just... becomes blond girl with anarchy. Which is funny sure but everyone else gets something and she doesn't - except the Troy relationship that didn't go anywhere either due to it just not being good or Harmon not being around to write it convincingly.
@@lionofash7700 That's not entirely true. In S1, at least the first half, Britta was wearing a mask of coolness and feminism to protect herself from a world that had treated her so cruelly up until that point. Starting in the second half of S1, once she's part of a group of loyal friends she starts dropping the mask and putting her past behind her. It's not an entirely straightforward process, but it's a process nonetheless. By the finale, she has made peace with her parents (except for Abed, nobody else in the group has done this); she has made strides in overcoming her self-loathing; and she is at peace with herself and the people around her.
@Joëlle Weetjewel then you might want to consider rewatching the series in it’s entirety. Britta has plenty of appeal left by S6, and her chemistry with Troy in S3 really sells the potential of a relationship between them. They didn’t work because S4 didn’t understand them or their dynamic, much like it misunderstood everything else on the ahow
This is when the show had me. Community never necessarily get more emotional than this and it doesn't need to. Episode 1 was okay, but didn't impress me at the time. 2 had that bit at the end with Jeff, Pierce, and the Aimee Mann music which I dug. But this one … this one.
@Justin And Alison Brie, who like Annie is Jewish from her mother’s side while her father is Christian, and grew up in a household with a minefield of conflicting holiday traditions.
Scenes like this one are what make the series great. So much characterization and information delivered so quickly and efficiently. We know everything we need to know about abed and his mom and dad from this short scene. Masterful.
The fact that the word “left” was translated to Arabic to mean the direction as in “to go left” rather than leaving cracks me up. Pretty sure it was done intentionally
Never put it together that when Abed imitates Jeff and says "Do whatever you want, leave each other alone" it came from here. I guess they meant for it to be a line that stuck with Abed. Season 1 really was something else entirely.
At 1:24 theres this weird sound coming really faint in the distant through your headphones that sounds like keys being dropped on a table and it worried the hell out of me while watching this video as I am home alone. Thank god I rewatched this video 2 or 3 times and noticed lol
That's because they used Fus-ha Arabic and I'm assuming they pulled that out of Google translate.. things were translated very literally! What I find weird is that Abed was inspired by an actual Palestinian Arab .. they could've just hired him to translate, or maybe a relative if he doesn't speak it fluently.
@@AintIastinker that's what you get when you get a half Indian half polish dude to play an Arabic person. I wouldn't replace Danny pudi, but they kind of screwed the pooch on the whole ethnicity thing
@@harshaldesai2505 agreed! Btw Abed is based on Dan Harmon's real friend who actually auditioned to play himself .. but Dani was so Amazing being Abed that he replaced the actual Palestinian Abed!
"A lawyer, whose law degree has been revoked, is compelled to join the Greendale Community College. Students of diverse temperaments join his study group which leads to quirky and memorable encounters." Understatement of the year!
I kinda wish they'd actually get Weezer and Green Day for the movie just as callbacks to this scene and the episode where the Dean booked Greene Daeye Lmao
The last part of his movie always makes laugh cause is a very heavy message all his movie and the end is so random that makes pass from being sad to laugh
this is probably the scene that made me really engage with Community when I first started watching! It made Abed (who's now my favorite character) seem fleshed out as a character!
This scene always gets me, he got his son just never in a full capacity. Him comparing Abed's film to his own life and his problems probably helped see what his son really wants, and what he really needs: just someone to stay by his side
Jeff: “You need to just let people do whatever they want” Ironic since that’s not really how life works - can’t be a real lawyer without doing what the bar wants/requires, can’t take other people’s stuff because they lock you up for that, can’t have friends if you choose to be a jerk etc.

The idea of a middle aged middle eastern man coming to a community college to see Weezer always makes me laugh.
Greendale College that's where he wants to be! *beverly hills*
Lol yeah and Britta wanting to see Ravi Shankar who plays Indian folk music
To be fair knowing how much of an SJW Britta is she probably would try her best to know as many musicians from different ethnicities as possible
@@mrcritical6751 this was back in 09 bruh, she's a greenie douche yeah. but not sjw
If Jeff said BNL was going to be there instead there would have been a riot.
Cool Abed Films part always gets me
I think it's the combination of the flashing colors and the music that makes it especially hilarious to me
Or thhe fact that it came after a very emasculated situation.
Literally
Explian yourself
It’s that smirk on his face too😂
This is a really emotional scene, when Abed said “You didn’t have to” that shit was sad. All he wanted was to be understood and nobody did, and he couldn’t even tell his dad how he felt. That’s just sad
Troy and Jeff we're the closest ones to understood him
That got me
My dad is exactly like this, I’ve just grown to accept it 😭
I can identify with it. I honestly cried over it
@@molatore08 Even Troy admits that he only got him a little.
To be honest i kinda find it touching that only abed’s father was emotional over the short film cause he and abed are the only ones who truly understand the film
Dude, I just realized that’s why they spoke about it in their native language when discussing Abed’s mother. Because it was only their business. 🤯
as an autistic person whose parents have argued over me, with my dad irritated that i cant be a normal kid and both of them equally frustrated that i cant communicate the way they understand, and with me feeling like im a huge burden on them, this scene broke me. i watched community because people told me abed was autistic, and i wanted to see that for myself, but god, i was not ready for this punch. this might be one of my favourite scenes in television history

Same situation here
No offense, but your parents sound like jerks.
I like how the father comes expecting to see weezer
I think he sent the wrong message to each person...Britta was meant to get the weezer message and Abeds Dad Ravi Shankar.....absolutely brilliant gag haha
I always thought it was a nice subversion. You'd expect them to have the opposite taste but the joke went further.
His father wanted him to be normal by isolating him.
Britta wanted credit for saving him.
Only Jeff was fine with letting him control his own life.
Because he didn't care
@@ali-g and yet, he was the only helpful one.
@@JustAnNPC245 well that's Jeff's role. The Dad of study group and dad's save the day.
Britta just likes being seen doing nice stuff, this is the same woman who became homeless and used it as an opportunity to create awareness for homeless people Britta is kinda pathetic
Why can't they just let Abed do what he wants.
Why can't they be cool, like Jeff
It's one of the most emotional scene of the entire show
I didn't like Abed's father at first but he's a good person
Its very hard to be a single parent to a child that you barely understand
He’s good intentioned, for sure. But I think the separation and being left with a special child all by himself must have ossified him.
As an autistic woman, this scene is incredibly powerful
@@jennifersoules3876 As an Indian I see a lot of Indian parent in Arabic parents. So it was powerful tome too
I think his father has is own fair share of underlying mental health issues. It seems like he might have been similar to Abed when he was a child

I won’t even count it as the movie if it doesn’t.
No way. Because it's going to be #troyandabedinendcredits
Bold of you to assume we’re getting that movie

*OOF*
Nah that’s just sad
Fuck

Gerson Mendoza it’s a different kind of autistic then you think, he can’t understand other’s emotions
Gerson Mendoza what are you talking about. His dad clearly didn’t let him get away with anything. Also he learns to be more empathetic in season 3
As someone on the autism spectrum, Abed is one of my favorite characters in media. I love him and I think it was this episode that hooked me.
Mine too and I'm glad they didn't make his hyperfixation one of the STEM categories like every other autistic character in TVs and movies
@@rosegirl3220 ohh precisely. I'm a developer but all my main special interest and way of saying the world is theology and history.
One of the best moments in the whole show, I like to think that the study group took care of Abed more after this.

I just started watching community and I was not prepared to be crying 3 episodes in, I wasn't expecting to cry at all
this is where I am now
Same here. Made the mistake of watching this in public. Was not expecting to cry while watching this show

Ah, but you see, it's actually brilliant, because Britta's actually moving left on screen when she leaves, making it a genius play on...
whatever.
I always thought that was intentional but maybe not lol
@@bartholen you just saved an otherwise language translation fail
I've had so many women in my life speak to me like Britta/Mom does to and about Abed. He made me realize a lot about myself.
As a film student I’m thinking it’s kinda of a narrative experimental documentary because it’s talking about his life when his mom left and in that process of abandonments making it hard to tell about in his own words but showing it how he’s feeling about in his head
basically it's totally dark
It's basically a music video, but with strong memories instead of musick.
Why do you need to be a film student to know that? It's shown very clearly that that's what it's about
Jeff’s point at the beginning of the scene is very similar to what Abed says while doing his Jeff impression in the episode Physical Education.

And even then Mena can’t find work outside of Aladdin which sucks for him
That's because they used Fus-ha Arabic and I'm assuming they pulled that out of Google translate.. things were translated very literally!
What I find weird is that Abed was inspired by an actual Palestinian Arab .. they could've just hired him to translate, or maybe a relative if he doesn't speak it fluently.
@@AintIastinker that's what you get when you get a half Indian half polish dude to play an Arabic person. I wouldn't replace Danny pudi, but they kind of screwed the pooch on the whole ethnicity thing
@@harshaldesai2505 agreed! Btw Abed is based on Dan Harmon's real friend who actually auditioned to play himself .. but Dani was so Amazing being Abed that he replaced the actual Palestinian Abed!
Does anyone know the name of the music that plays in the background during the film? They use it a few times throughout the show.
Sean Laffey I don’t remember the song necessarily but the musician was, Ludwig goransson
I Looped around Thank you, I’ll have to search around.

@@AleexTg Thank you!
The moment I fell in love with this show.
The Arabic translation of " I think the wrong person just left" cracked me up
What's the direct translation?
@@BigTwonLT the correct translation will be (أعتقد أن الشخص الخطأ غادر لتوه)
@@Sabretooth2438 he wanted to know what they said when speaking Arab...

The same thing, except the subtitles refer to the direction "left" instead of the act of leaving.
it was this part that made realize i would forever love this show
cool.....cool..cool...cool.
That was actually kinda sad
kinda
"A lawyer, whose law degree has been revoked, is compelled to join the Greendale Community College. Students of diverse temperaments join his study group which leads to quirky and memorable encounters."
Understatement of the year!
I can’t help but weep everytime I watch this 😭 having your own kids really makes you see things differently
lmao where's Weezer
They're coming.
when abed's film showed 2 clips of his father, I think that was enough to tell his whole backstory.
Can you make a vid of Jeff’s reactions to everything, they’re literally one of the best parts of the show
I'm in a high stress situation right now and I wanted to rewatch Community to relax, but now I'm just crying
LOL 3:10 Britta whispers "I made this happen"
3:38 "get you hand off of my knee"
I kinda wish they'd actually get Weezer and Green Day for the movie just as callbacks to this scene and the episode where the Dean booked Greene Daeye Lmao
to be fair greene daeye played the best version of "somewhere out there" i have ever heard...
I've watched this a hundred times and only just got the guided missile joke being about britta 🤣
The last part of his movie always makes laugh cause is a very heavy message all his movie and the end is so random that makes pass from being sad to laugh
this is probably the scene that made me really engage with Community when I first started watching! It made Abed (who's now my favorite character) seem fleshed out as a character!
That outro deserves a golden globe award
I always lose it at “Cool Abed Films” 😂
Holy shit I just watched this again and I cried so hard
This hits much harder upon rewatch...
This is a great moment but the "cool Abed films" button always really gets me
This is the moment I realized Community is worth my time.
Cool abed Films is the icing on the cake for this scene it made me laugh after i cried so hard
i like how the marriage breaks in front of the coffee guy
He’s movie. His really good and his really personal. It’s really touching
This scene really captures the whole spirit of the show: weird, funny, and random, but strangely touching
This scene always gets me, he got his son just never in a full capacity. Him comparing Abed's film to his own life and his problems probably helped see what his son really wants, and what he really needs: just someone to stay by his side
Coming from someone who makes home movies as a hobby, sometimes movies really do help express your feelings
This scene made me cry
Jeff: “You need to just let people do whatever they want”
Ironic since that’s not really how life works - can’t be a real lawyer without doing what the bar wants/requires, can’t take other people’s stuff because they lock you up for that, can’t have friends if you choose to be a jerk etc.
