Community is the funniest sitcom I've seen in a long, long time. I think it's funnier than 30 Rock or Parks and Rec.
Riley: No pulse. Anya: Yup. The space lamb got 'im.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Because books.
I've heard good things about Community. Parks and Rec is the same model as The Office, though, right?

Awww... I want to go to Antarctica and use the ATM. I wonder what the use fees are?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They waive the fees.
Awesome, right?

Here's a clip from the first episode of Community with the brilliant Ken Jeoung as Senor Chang. [link]
And they do these hilarious little outros, generally featuring Abed and Troy. [link]

In the far-off year 2010, we'll all do our work and schooling and library-book-reading on ingenious video screens that can connect to each other from anywhere around the globe.
Of course, in author Geoffrey Hoyle's 1972 vision, those screens are telephone-based, the size of a large dishwasher—and we use them while wearing practical and futuristic jumpsuits.
Daniel Sinker loved 2010: Living in the Future as a child, and now shares the book—in all its not-quite-on-the-money glory—with the Internets. Wait until you get to the part about "a series of tubes".

In the year 2010 everyone wears a jumpsuit and shoes. The clothes may look odd, but they are sensible. The jumpsuits and shoes are made in thousands of colors, from a material so light you can hardly feel it. The material keeps you warm when it is cold and cool when it is hot.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love the serial comma.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think I'd ever read that caffeine was supposed to contribute to tinnitus, but here's a study that says it doesn't, and caffeine withdrawal may make it worse.

Now I want a practical and futuristic jumpsuit to go with my flying car.
I am loving Parks and Rec this season. Community irritates me more than it amuses me, so I stopped watching, but I never liked Chevy Chase and I apparently don't like that Soup guy, either. Extras I loved, more than The Office UK. Gervais has an animated show coming on HBO, I know nothing about it beyond having seen a promo for it - the promo was very funny, Gervais and Merchant and someone else sitting around talking about the show's prospects
