Are a lot of people really looking for a "down to Earth" version of community? I always thought the best episodes were the ones with lava floors, and meowmeow beanz.

I thought the episode was awesome. I would have thought the minimal wackiness factor would have made a lot of you happy, but there's no pleasing everyone, I guess.


I felt like this one was just a little too dumb with the whole "smear the dog" thing. That would just make sthings worse because they didn't just give a degree to a dog, they gave it to an especially lovely dog.

All the texting stuff was gold though.

Came here to ask if they were actually taking money from Honda or just screwing around. Turns out everyone is angry about how much they sold out or something.

Strong smart confident Elliott was an rear end in a top hat who nobody liked, Scrubs didn't need more of those.

Scrubs could seriously become exhausting to watch when every character was in rear end in a top hat mode.

Alison Brie is going to star in and executive produce a show on TV Land about elementary school teachers. It features Key & Peele showrunners and a Chicago improv group called The Katydids because everybody in the group is named some form of Kate.

TV Land. That's not the best sign.

But they will plug this at Comic-Con. It is called Teachers.

“Teachers” revolves around six elementary school teachers who are trying to mold the minds and lives of America’s youth, even though they don’t really seem to have their own lives together at all. From refusing to read fairytales because “sometimes Prince Charming wants to date other people” to hitting on the resident “hot dad,” these teachers are certainly changing the world, one student at a time. The series stars improv group The Katydids - Caitlin Barlow, Katy Colloton, Cate Freedman, Kate Lambert, Katie O’Brien and Katie Thomas – who also wrote and starred in the web hit that the TV series is based on. In addition to writing for and starring in “Teachers,” they will also serve as executive producers alongside Alison Brie (“Community”) and showrunners Ian Roberts and Jay Martel (“Key and Peele”).

Is this based on a youtube series. Cause if it is, it was hilarious.

There is a pretty big difference between watching randoms lip-sync earnestly and watching celebrities do it ironically.

Is there?

Celebrity lip-syncing sounds like the punchline in a joke a bout terrible TV. "My girlfriend is always watching (some lovely show) but at least it's not celebrity lip syncing."

I was so disappointed when they kept making burnt toast/ stroke jokes in Archer. I thought it was a reference to obscure Canadian commercials, but it turned out to be a fairly well known symptom.

Anyway the videos are working for me now.

Community actually got a good bit of promotion when it came out on Yahoo, I saw a lot of commercials for it.

It just turns out none of those commercials compelled me to actually use Yahoo Screen to watch the show.

I couldn't in my country so it was files for me. I don't even get it. If Yahoo was making the show and it was exclusively on their website, why did different country licensing even come into it?

Close enough. I'm on board for that one.

He just feels lovely and thinks that it's impossible for him to have a healthy productive relationship, so he's removing himself from the dating pool by more efficiently masturbating. There's a lot of layers at work here.

Nice, does this mean they've cut the DnD stuff from Harmontown? That's why I stopped listening, I really can't stand listening to DnD campaigns

Yeah they stopped as some sort of non-compete with Harmonquest. I really liked them though. I've gone through like 5 podcasts trying to find something similar, and they're universally annoying/terrible.
