I thought the Simpsons comment was funny because of this line, "Oh, dear God. Can't this town go one day without a riot?"

El Tortuga posted:I honestly feel like you'd be a lot happier if you stopped watching Community. I don't think it's for you.  Maybe I just like different aspects of Community than you do. You like childish antics, tired catchphrases and pointless wackiness. I like interesting, multifaceted characters, word play and genre subversion. Neither of us is wrong in enjoying the aspects that we enjoy and just because an episode leans too heavily on pointless wackiness (or, on the other hand, deep character study) doesn't mean the series overall isn't for me (or you).

CaptainHollywood posted:While it's obvious this season is better than season 4 is it better than season 3? Also the show has done a fine job without resorting to catchphrases and callbacks like it's done every other year. By making Duncan and Hickey regulars the show feels more fresh than it's ever been. I'm enjoying it a lot more than I enjoyed season 3. I kept waiting for it to get good again that season, and I didn't even finish it when I was trying to rewatch the eerie.

Season 3 had Remedial Chaos Theory, Advanced Gay, Documentary Filmmaking: Redux, Pillows and Blankets, Basic Lupine Urology, and Curriculum Unavailable. Those are amongst the best episodes the show's ever done both in terms of comedy, genre parody stuff and, in some cases, characterization. Sure, the season also had a ton of total crap, mostly related to the Chang arc plot, but I don't think that negates the highs. Also season 3 is interesting because it combines "Pointless Wackiness" with character studies in its best episodes, thus proving that Irish Joe is yet again making an idiotic false dichotomy.

Sure, the season also had a ton of total crap, mostly related to the Chang arc plot, but I don't think that negates the highs. Apart from RCT and Basic Lupine Urology, I wouldn't call any of the episodes you mention particularly good, let alone among the best episodes the show's ever done. They do stand out as the best episodes in a really weak season (except for Advanced Gay and Pillows and Blankets) but nothing more. One of the many reasons season 3 was inferior to the previous two is because the characters were turned into cartoons, something that the season five premiere acknowledged. Really, what interesting character studies were there in season 3? Jeff's daddy issues? Britta going full retard? Troy's AC repair school arc? Turning Abed into a sociopath? Shirley and Annie doing nothing all season? Pierce's cartoon character of a father? Irish Joe is right that season 3 buried the characters and the stories in wacky nonsense. Thankfully, season 5 has been much better, even if it's a bit heavy on the gimmick episodes for my taste. I think one of the biggest improvements is that the show no longer sacrifices characters for jokes the same way it did in season 3.

I think the issue lies in the same reason a lot of people seem to get enjoyment out the show - they built a solid enough basis that at this point, more or less allows them to do anything. When you've got that kind of scope available, it's inevitable that as you experiment you're not always going to p,ease everyone. And I think that's why season 5 has been so reassuring in the end. It's had the wackiness, but it's obvious they're addressing how that's balanced with the more character/relationship-centric plots. It's been great so far, but it's always going to be one of those shows that's impossible to judge on standalone episodes. Also, I know I've mentioned how I don't like the lack of exterior shots these days. Just remembered when Troy left it seemed like it was shot outside, sort of. That was nice. More stuff like that please.

The apple thing was making fun of those random, nonsensical observations about race you'd see in 90s comedy routines. Comedians would take something perfectly mundane that everybody does (like eating apples) and then say that a certain minority group does it.

I wonder if they'll go back an re-release the earlier seasons on blu-ray. I know that its not common but I have seen a few shows do that. But they haven't rereleased Seinfeld on brd, so i doubt they'll do it.

I don't think Community will be rereleased on Blu-ray as most shows aren't, but I guarantee at least one Darth Vader "Nooooo" will be included somewhere in the release of season 5.

I personally bought all the seasons on iTunes just so I could have them in HD without watermarks. I have considered getting a BR Burner just so I could burn them onto discs and be done with it.

Hey, listen, it's alright. You happen to like retard poo poo for idiot babies, that's fine. Personally, I have much more highly sophisticated tastes in the popular media that I consume. It's okay, we can still both enjoy the same things, albeit on vastly different intellectual levels. Don't be caremad.

No, you're just being an rear end in a top hat for no reason. First people can't define their masculinity by beating up queers, and now they can't do it by conspicuously eating lots of lovely food and putting down people who don't? When will the pussification of modern men end?!
