Troy Barnes and Abed Nadir. Friends so close, they once graced the cover of ‘Friends Weekly,’ a pretend magazine of their own design.

hi. some random season six things going through my brain:

- what's the message? the characters actively hunt for the meaning behind the episode's events and must come up with it themselves when they can't find anything. happens at least three times, most notable in the hacker ep as eventually their "lessons" devolve into nonsense that just tries to check some relevant buzzwords

- moments that mean absolutely nothing and the nothingness becomes the comedy, or where characters just repeat things over and over again until they become nonsense. ie in the grifting episode as they start chanting "grift! grift! grift! grift!" to no one and nothing in particular (but it actually happens a LOT over the course of the season).

- greendale's existence as cartoonish Sitcom Setting becomes magnified and any facade of continuity or realism breaks down. chang spends an entire episode searching for the nurse's office at greendale (it's not there; it doesn't exist because the set doesn't exist because it's not needed for the Story and even though chang doesn't understand why he can't find it he can't, as the narrative falls away to real life even fictional characters can't access a setting that isn't physically available to them, if that makes any fucking sense at all lol). there's also a few other moments I know that tackles the kind of shifting inaccessible geography of greendale in s6 specifically but I can't quite remember them right now. there's ALSO this feeling of inescapableness to this place, as jeff says "I'm never gonna leave here am i" and "at least pierce got to die [but I'm gonna be the last one here" and also the whole "greendale effect thing". like slowly the Sitcom Setting isn't a fun romp anymore it's weird and it's wrong and it's terrifying because the world is becoming more real and greendale doesn't belong in the real world

- elroy and frankie as previous parts of the show (pillows and blankets voiceover guy and IT lady, respectively). again, continuity and realism breaks down to service their inclusion into the show. to me it's like. ugh ok this is gonna sound so pretentious and like I'm reaching but. it's like ouroboros. like it's eating itself to sustain itself. there's nothing new here there's no more story there's no more narrative so it keeps coming back to old characters and stories so it can keep itself going. idk

- a strange and off-putting focus on the Show and the Characters and constant unsubtle reminders that we're in a fictional world, less subtle and grounded than community ever has been. like the end card in episode one with shirley's spin-off showing actual credits and a voiceover announcement; when elroy and jeff laugh heartily at something vaguely funny and it freezes with a cheesy sitcom title put over them, and the same thing happening with annie and britta after they go "girls?" "girls." (which AGAIN is just a total breakdown of narrative coherence. it's a meaningless nothing conclusion to an arc it's not satisfying it's not complete it's just words and then LOOK WE'RE ON TV like besties everything is crumbling!!! god!!!!!)

-the fact that this breakdown comes alongside the move to yahoo screen and the very parameters and rules of cable TV that we all know are broken down in an age of digital screening.....

- episode one as abed, similarly to season one abed (going around in circles to find a Story again, aka a reason to continue the show) tries to make an Episode out of nothing, manufacturing montages and the dean's recap voiceover. we are in reality (and while we're here, frankie's character serves as a stand in/microcosm for reality to an extent) but we are going to MAKE this a show we are going to MAKE a story. we can't leave just yet we'll keep clawing our way back into fiction

- HI EDIT JUST THOUGHT OF THIS. ELROY CONSTANTLY CONSTRUCTING MINIATURE NARRATIVES AND STORIES AS HE'S FORCED INTO THE SITCOM AND THEY TRY TO DETERMINE HIS PLACE IN THE STORY. BUT THERE IS NONE BECAUSE THERE IS NO STORY

- ALSO the desperation to find what Roles the new characters are. is frankie the new shirley or the new abed or the annie. is elroy the new troy or the new pierce or the new shirley. trying to feed off of old characters to create anything new and it is NOT WORKING!!

- also also like just all of basic RV repair but we don't need to get into it. I'm on that episode next so I'll probably continue my thoughts when I finish rewatching the season. anyway did you guys see that shit? fucking crazy, right? haha alright take it easy

COMMUNITY APPRECIATION WEEK Day 5 - Favorite Season

↳ Season 2 

The truth is it’s been a dark year. Pierce got hooked on painkillers. Shirley’s having an unplanned baby. And, apparently, Chang is in the group now?

The last seasons of the show feel so vocally anti-jeffbritta, while somehow managing to make them seem even more like a couple than any of the other seasons.

#not that s4 is late or that it counts but like #britta was at her best imo and the scenes between her and jeff were the season’s saving grace #and ok they were sweeter on each other than they usually are but that was a refreshing change!! #then ok we’re back to basics for them in s5 so while britta is thankfully still unsucky it’s looking rough #but post geothermal escapism the romantic subtext is so?? #barely even subtext?? #to the point where the random proposal didn’t even feel random to me LIKE #but ofc they brush it off whatever that’s just community #so then s6 comes around and idgaf if dan harmon claims this is his best version of britta bc that’s just him tryna convince himself #and jeff has also regressed a little bit for some reason #and even tho i like to HC that they’ve backslid bc of their 3rd failed attempt at getting married #i obviously know that’s not why they were written that way #especially since there’s none of that romantic subtext from s5 #AND YET #they’re getting along better than ever #they are more in synch than ever #they share so little screen time but when they do it’s just #is it sacrileg to say they give trobed vibes #anyway you know i love screamingcrying in the tags #don’t mind me #community #jeffbritta

DAY 12 OF THE COMMUNITY SHIP COMPETITION: THE FINAL

we've come a long way... before we vote, let's go through the results

SCROLL TO VOTE FOR YOUR TEAM!!!

RESULTS

ROUND 1: Frankie x Britta won over Jeff x Duncan with 51.3% of the votes. That was a close one!

ROUND 2: Chang x Duncan won over Jeff x Abed with 68.4% of the votes. I didn't expect that, honestly

ROUND 3: Troy x Abed won over Annie x Annie Kim with 87.4% of the votes.

ROUND 4: Jeff x Britta won over Frankie x Britta with 64.4% of the votes.

ROUND 5: Troy x Abed won over Chang x Duncan with 90.3% of the votes!

Now that we're done with that.... a few clarifications:

You're definitely allowed to make propaganda for your team (use #community ship competition, #team trobed or #team jeffbritta)

Don't harass anyone for their opinions or who they ship

This time, the poll will be a week long instead of 24 hours long.

Have fun shipping!

THE FINAL
