We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I freaking love Community. It's consistently the funniest show I watch. Off to see if this week's is up on demand yet.

Yes, smonster turned me on to it and I really enjoy it.

I had sort of cooled to Community but this episode was genius.

Senor Chang as Chow Yun Fat? Oh my god, that was amazing.

I confess that one of the things I liked most was the limited Chevy screen time. He/his character sort of drag the whole thing down for me.

Ah, I'd completely forgotten why I was so adamant about never watching an episode. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

Yeah, Chevy's shtick is pretty old. He does more pratfalls than early Wesley. And yes, I know it was A Thing on SNL but I don't care.

All the other characters have quirks that make you either care about, or be amused by them. Chevy's toxic leerer shtick is WAY old.

I loved the dean even more in this episode. His 'still in the room' was a great throw away.

it was A Thing on SNL
It seems that he views himself as the great Silverback of comedy but he isn't all that...wasn't even all that back in the heyday. I loved Fletch but that was about it.

Now, it's just icky.

Nah, I despise Chevy Chase and yet still love Community.

Yeah, also not a fan. But then, most physical comedy doesn't really work for me so.. I haven't been watching Community mostly cause it's hard to keep up with everything. But I usually like it when I see it.
