Is that the one where they chloroform the guy and then panic?

Yes! And then Abed's brilliant plan to recover goes so awry...

Donald Glover is so good at physical comedy without it being OTT.

I'm looking at what he's actually doing, and it should be too much, but it's just not.

I also love how automatically they joined the poplockathon, with no discussion, and there was no time spent planning anything--no rehearsals, no procuring of costume, nothing. They just showed up in their shiny jackets and performed casually coordinated numbers. Fuck me.

Is that the one where they chloroform the guy and then panic? I laughed SO hard at that scene!

Oh lord yes. That was hilarious.

I KNOW!

(my response to everything everyone has said here about Community)

Dan Harmon even refers to that episode as "Chloroform."

And now -- The Puppet.

Geez, now I'm going to pack Season 1 of Community when I head to Vegas in a few hours in hopes of converting my fiance's family! (So far, I've shown them the beauty of Better off Ted and The IT Crowd).

Oh, and I got a smartphone for my birthday and my new ringtone is the Parks and Rec theme song! (I'm having waaay to much fun with ringtones and notification sounds!)

I was hesitant about Community because I really didn't like Jeff in the pilot and almost turned it off about half way through he was just so smarmy and unappealing. But I stuck through and now I think it's brilliant.

I watched teh first 4 episodes and then Will came over and so I watched them again with him. The little end bits are the best.

askye, I had the same reaction + was bored at the pilot. That's why i gave the show up. Then I saw paintball and got sucked right in.

Yeah, I was meh on the pilot and decided not to keep watching the first time. I had thought that I watched a couple more episodes that first season, but when I watched the DVDs I didn't remember anything so I guess not.

I hadn't watched any of it, but kept seeing it being mentioned flatteringly. My only sitcom was Raising Hope, though, and I was pretty content with that. Then the # of mentions on IO9 of geek-friendly content became too much, and by the time they revealed the Firefly death pact, I just had to go look. I was home sick for a day, mainlined season 1, and now I'm a raging raving born-again Community fan, probably one of the worst kinds.
