3x15 origins of vampire mythology has to be one of the community eps I quote the most. there’s so much good stuff in there guys. I’m watching it rn so I’ll list my personal favorites (there’s a lot oops)

• troy and abed’s handshake at the beginning “best friends best friends making a cake”

• “I’m sorry britta, some things are funny because they make no sense, and that is Not one of them”

• “ex-boyfriend named blade alert”

• “make it yourself!” “I don’t know how 😰”

• “annie subdue your guest 😐”

• “that’s right. it’s a banana”

• “but we are not defined by our limitations! we are defined by our potential!” “I have the potential to watch blade”

• “there’s phones in the refrigerator. 😦 oops.”

• “you’re monsters! you’re hitlers! you’re racist pedophiles! you’re the opposites of batman!” “YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS”

• “I need help reacting to something 🧍🏾”

• “you’re the only one who really understands me”

• “you take that back! he could do plenty better than me. I was the first to say Yes 😁”

• “have fun forcing life” “We Will.”

• “he’s not as good looking as you.” “I wasnt fishing for that.” “no, I know, I offered it freely :)”

• “what’s wrong, annie? you came out of the bedroom smiling, and then your smile faded as you leaned against the door :(“

• “yeah, you’re just like blade, man, straight up”

• “you could change it” “to what? tempelton ferrari the third?? won’t change how mustard tastes”

• *pierce and chang walk past shirley and jeff, arm in arm, laughing* “how many times are they gonna do that”

• “dean. why are you here” “ouch 😟”

• “hello??? blade???” “…” “aaeeooöööugghhhhahahaeuaghghh 👹”

• “she’s whipped by an imaginary douche!” “hey, don’t knock it till you try it”

• “why do you wanna know the secret to making a woman psycho??” “why do we wanna know how to blow up the earth or grow a human ear on a mouse?? in case we have to, shirley. in case we have to.”

• “dean! why are you here??” “yikes!”

• “well. that didn’t work. that’s what I get for improvising”

• ”who hurt you??? and why didn’t it stick?”

• “he’s brain damaged.” “well let’s not be petty 🙄” “no I’m serious. he showed me the scar”

• “I have to go to him.” “No, Woman. ✋🏻😒”

• “Come Watch Blade 😑”

• “this movie is fantastic ☺️”

and the entire end tag with abed’s stand-up routine that’s basically just about the trobedison apartment and troy is absolutely eating up all of his jokes. plus “TOASTER OVEN!” “it’s from his album”

anyway just thought I’d spread the 3x15 love I’ve been watching this ep in my head all weekend and am finally watching it irl. 10/10

#I never see anyone talking about this one but this shit is so hilarious to me I know I’m not the only one who thinks that #the whole ep abed just wants to watch his damn movie #and everyone else keeps interrupting #the whole C plot of chang and pierce trying to become best friends. so GOOD #side note jeff is definitely attracted to blade #nbc community #community #community nbc #community quotes #origins of vampire mythology

@annieofhearts asked about my abandoned Trobed WIP. This is from several years ago. Basically my beautiful wife @ivanhoe-dont-do-it and I were talking about Trobed and how funny it would be to do a subverted Vegas AU.

Premise: the gang is in Vegas for a wedding (Britta to some guy they all call Taco Bell), and Abed is so freaked out about seeing Troy again that he decides they should re-enact the Hangover so that he can avoid his feelings. He roofies himself and Troy, but the roofies just put them to sleep (you know, like how roofies actually work) and when they wake up everyone else is gone.

A-Plot: Abed and Troy accidentally do the plot of Forgetting Sarah Marshall instead, and end up together.

B-Plot: Everyone else somehow winds up doing the Hangover, including Jeff as Ed Helms marrying the Dean.

Snippet under the cut

The script should make it easier, but it doesn’t, really. It used to be that he knew Troy well enough to predict his words, to write lines and trust they’d actually be said. But by the time the plane touches down in Vegas, all Abed has is this:

TROY enters the room, a soft look in his eyes as they fall on ABED. Abed’s expression doesn’t change, but he maintains careful eye-contact, like a wounded animal unsure if the person it’s seeing is here to hurt it more, or save it.

A beat.

TROY

(hoarsely)

I’m sorry I haven’t called.

Abed nods.

TROY

I just didn’t know what to say. You’re

so important to me, and I just left I didn’t

realize how much I

ABED

You don’t have to say anything.

TROY

But I want to. I needed to tell you how sorry

how much I that I (fill in later with something

that sounds like Troy)

ABED

(with feeling)

I know.

The first time they see each other again, it actually goes like this:

Abed is at baggage claim talking to Annie when her eyes get wide and she grabs his arm. The airport, which was previously so loud that Abed was considering taking out a hit on the man on a business call on the other end of the baggage carrousel, goes silent. Well, not really, but the sounds get all muted the way they do in movies when something so important happens that everything around it dims.

A slot machine makes a little triumphant noise that means someone has won something, but no coins come out because they’re all digital now.

“Troy!”

Annie’s voice is so loud and excited that Abed’s hand twitch at his side. He doesn’t cover his ears, because it’s rude, and despite what everyone thinks about him he isn’t rude on purpose.

He turns his head 45 degrees and there’s Troy, backpack over one shoulder and eyebrows pushed together just a little bit. Annie runs towards him just as her maroon wheely bag drops from the chute. Abed looks at the bag, then at her and Troy, then back at the bag.

He picks up the bag.
