Pierce stayed because of the cookies, not to help him

@@georgy2596 The cookies were gone, but he came back anyway

A good observation to make but Pierce didn’t question his faith

It's a small detail but I like how as Pierce connects with Abed he also starts to see wonderland. At the start he says he can only see the study room. Then once they get to the cave of frozen memories he says "what do youean cave-like? it's a cave" and by the end of the episode he's asking abed what he sees. I just find it nice as one of the few episodes where Pierce is genuinely empathetic.

Rewatching it recently, it made me realize how much Pierce wants to be a part of the group as much as he acts the opposite. That was a genuine moment of Pierce connecting with Abed, and then we get to D&D where none of them, even Abed the DM, invited him to join. Which then leads well into the overdose episode.

@Tom Ffrench BoJack and community i guess?

Okay, that was pretty good.

Abc is easy Its like counting up to 3

That really is streets ahead

so A is best B second and C third that's how i see it and it's right for me

With a side of game of thrones season 8

Having watched season 1 of Lost I'm now sightly confused about this joke. Is it specifically taking a shot at season 1, or the eventually series end (which I know is famous for the lack of payoff)?

@@artyb27 The eventual series end.

@Ryan Akwar I wonder if that's the point in that case. You can't have a devastating lack of payoff without exceptional build-up. They must have been saying season 1 was that build-up.

@Ryan Akwar who's the guest by the way?.. I'm now wondering if it's the Asian dude with the crutch that Jeff shoots in the head in season 6 and desperately hoping I'm not being racist by jumping to that.

Same!!!

Yeah, it’s awesome. I’m not religious but I think the whole season between Diwali and the eastern New Year as just a season of lights and celebration and love is a beautiful thing. For some it’s about worship, for some it’s just about warmth and light in times of cold and darkness.

Bog bang theory intensifies

Its like the wackier the episode is, the more serious abed becomes

It's so great to have a main character who is clearly on the autism spectrum, but who is treated like an actual character instead of an obstacle or walking punchline.

That's why I love Abed so much. Abed subverts so many aspects of the "nerd" trope" because he's written and acted with so much depth and nuance. He's not just a punchline but a real character who just happens to have hobbies and passions that many consider to be nerdy.

@@videogamenostalgia I think atypical is a show that does this quite well. The main character has autism and while there some comedy, he never feels like a joke and I haven't seen it in awhile but I remember there being some heartfelt moments

@@jakeb4569 "What's a dimininuminah?"

My God! It's like doing research on autism is beneficial for everyone or something!

His behavior is closer to psychopathy than autism. Psychopaths have difficulty interpreting facial expression and appropriate behavior per social situation. The only thing that sets him apart from a true psychopath is that he doesn't interact with others solely for his own benefit, thus firefighting the accompanying traits like being opportunistic, deceptive and manipulative. However, these traits easily define Jeff's core personality. Autism exists on a spectrum and is characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. Autistics have difficulty with communication and social situations because they are so deeply introverted that they are prone to disregarding external stimulation including people talking to them or even imminent danger. There is an argument for Abed possibly having Asperger's Syndrome, but he is far too coordinated, open to behavior modification and he is not nearly offensive enough. He also does not have an over developed sense of self worth, which is typical of Asperger's.

I know I'm a year late, but I want to comment. I thought Jeff might've gotten himself into a car accident. ... At the time I'm typing down this comment, I'm in my first run-through of "Community" and had just watched this Christmas special (LOVED! IT!).

I heard the name John Oliver several times in this video, but I was NOT prepared to actually hear his voice over in a stop motion picture.

@@webbowser8834 Wait, why are you watching a review of an episode you haven't seen, of a show you probably haven't seen?

@@wordyballoons Good question. I like Schaff I guess?

@@webbowser8834 Yeah makes sense. Either way, you should definitely check out this gem of a show if you haven't already! :)

He does have a name in the show. It's Ian Duncan. I don't know why he kept saying John Oliver or some form of that repeatedly. I got a feeling he doesn't like John Oliver. Edited to fix grammer.

That fact still amazes me.

Yeah he also crated Moral Orel if you’ve ever seen that

He also did the voice of Drinky Crow

Louis CK mentions Dino a few times in his specials

He might be Greek. -poulos endings in last names are Greek

You must. It is the best show.

WATCH IT

You should it’s really good except for the infamous season 4

DO IT

You said it stop motion youtube channel that I am typing a reply to with my stop motion hands

comfrillas

i would partly agree with that but i feel like Troy not being in the last two seasons made the role ultimately go to abed overall

@@reesepettigrew3626 makes sense.

It really sucked to see almost half the characters leaving at the same time

@@finn596 Ye

And he and shirley we're obviously related.

Yeah i think you're spot on! As an autistic person, me and many of us use pieces of media to understand the world around us, sometimes obsessively clinging to it. I havent gotten around to watching community just yet, but it looks pretty damn good.

He said this multiple times

Technically isn’t fully animated so it doesn’t count. We’ve got a perfect record!

The gas leak year does strange things, but we're past that

Intro to Felt Surrogacy was a good episode I will die on that hill

@@sketchyjulia It is good, it's just that in a series with great episodes good seems lesser than usual due to the curve.

He did exclude that episode to be fair, along with the parallel timeline one. It was pretty frustrating to see the Season 4 writers piggyback off the popularity of Remedial Chaos Theory and use it to jump the shark, kinda retrospectively taints my favourite episode. Who am I kidding, I'll never hate Remedial Chaos Theory.

Wasn't that established in the next season's Christmas special though?

@@GodOfOrphans It's first mentioned in season one's Christmas special, where Shirley assumes all her friends are Christian, and we learn each character has a separate faith

@@dipdop9734 I meant the most secret aspect as the excuse to participate in Christmas festivities that was established in the Glee Club musical Christmas special which I'm pretty sure is after Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas.

@@GodOfOrphans Yeah I think it's in the glee club Christmas episode in Troy and abeds amazing rap lol

🎶 We have to save Christmas to save our friends 🎶

I can't be the only one who likes him

@@goldenfox8701 I love him.

@@goldenfox8701 I like him and his rap is pretty funny

I call him duncan just cause show i watch before it was total drama

It’s dr John Oliver.

Agree

Did you like it???

I see shaffrillas I click

Same

I wasn’t a huge fan of Frankie (no offense to Paget, of course), but I was a fan of Elroy. That may be because I’m very partial to Keith David, though. Elroy just had some really funny, weird bits like “There’s no green 3 in Billiards. Where could this have come from?”

“NOW THIS IS A MAN WHO KNOWS HOW TO MARRY HIS COUSIN”

I think his just worse version of hickey,even tho he has thew iconic lines

Agree season 6 deserves better

i also love frankie though. "SHUT UP LEONARD! You... are old! And you deserve less, because of your age"

What

Yay, someone else noticed that!

timestamp

I'm glad I wasn't alone here

i fr thought that was allstar thank god im not insane

It's *this* close.

How is a hearted comment so hidden.

I think he had a really good episode in I think season 5 where he stops being a creep for once and helps his friends, it's really good development for him.

I think he was great overall.

I watched it because one of my old math teachers recommended it

ok ik this is a year old but that's why its fitting for me to comment in case you didnt know-- they're actually finally getting around to making the movie for real

Agree!!

Haha ha ONE!

Well said!

Yeah its christmas.... where did all my money go?

👏👏👏

I think the think Schaff brought up with how the church moved the date of Christmas to accommodate the people and not the people conforming to what the church did illustrates this point really well. Christmas isn't by a long stretch just about Jesus. Most European cultures had some kind of winter celebration because of how important the harvest was and how devastating winter could be, so all these regional variants kept being celebrated even with Christianity in the mix.

Very well put.

First reply (for some reason)

Oh dang, it’s the best YTPer on KZfaq

one episode (advanced dungeons and dragons) was removed from netflix so make sure you catch that one somewhere else!

@@zitrodivad It's literally one of the best episodes in my opinion

It’s not really underrated though

Its a cult classic so not underrated among the public But maybe critics?

@@glendarjj3991It's under watched more than underrated everyone I know who's seen it loved it

@@melvinlinderoth7108 I think you misread my reply, I agree. Its not underrated it was quite popular Just critics didn't seem to like it as much I don't think

@@glendarjj3991 it was kinda a sleeper hit, good reviews from critics but not a ratings juggernaut like other shows it had to share its time slot with like Glee and Big Bang Theory

Oofer doofums wins this comment section

as an atheist (who is kinda ex-christian but not really bc i was like seven and didn't understand religion until i did enough to turn away from it) i still celebrate christmas and enjoy it, and like he says in the video (and how britta says) christmas isnt even actually about jesus originally so you can still celebrate :D

@@thatgaylibertarian4518 I'm not the celebrating type but I love watching the old Christmas movies and specials. They're so magical to me 🥰

Ikr I just love it so much. It’s so wild and entertaining

Community's still tied for my favorite show of all time tho

I get what you're saying for sure, though in the first season's Xmas episode, i feel like the impetus for the characters even revealing their religions was more to get out of joining Shirley and her Christian shenanigans 😄

maybe

Make sure you watch Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, it’s the real S2E14 and was removed from most streaming services except for Amazon Prime.

Why?
