Tbh I find him pretty meh.

 

[gaskin]

Duncan was good in the earlier series but he has become a bit crappy lately. I still like him but I don't think he is as good as he has been and could be.

 

[Marlowe]

Can't believe how bad this show has become. Jumped the shark after season 2 IMO

(I'm only halfway through season 4. You guys saying Season 5 is better is reassuring )

FYI, there was an episode of Happy Days where a guy literally jumped a shark, and it was the best one!

I started off thinking the Dungeons and Dragons sequel would be eye-rollingly bad but was pleasantly surprised to see them pull a genuinely good and humorous episode out of it, to the point I wished it was an hour long. The Hobgoblin interrogation was a thing of beauty.

Is that guy still around? Haven't seen him since season 2.

I enjoyed the original, where Pierce was being a dick to Fat Neil

 

[gaskin]

The original is one of my fave episodes.

It was the Fonz. Arrested Development made the same actor literally jump a shark about 25 years later as well, it was glorious

Has appeared twice(?) in S4

The best episode the first episode of season 2, the one where at the end Betty White's character was assaulting Jeff during his presentation.

"So, I'm going to use this to attack you. You use respect to defend yourself."
[Jeff getting strangled]
"... I respect you!"
"This is why you fail!"

 

[gaskin]

The HA, GAAAAAAAAAAAAAY part of this scene I have as my message tone.

 

[ep2018]

Pierce: "He's passing out!" *throws drink on Jeff's face*

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Has appeared twice(?) in S4

I thought (hoped) he was going to become a permanent member of the Save Greendale Committee

 

[Underdog]

Well...that sucked.

 

[Ochre]

Agreed, have you seen gi joe?

I don't really remember it TBH.

You could probably apply the parody to a number of various cartoons.

It just didn't interest me in the slightest. It wasn't witty and clever, it was obvious and lame.

It'd go close to the worst episode of Community from my perspective.

EDIT: geez, it got an A- at A.V. Club.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Yeah, it was just bland. I know my opinion is not the consensus amongst Community fans (or at least those who haven't given up and are still sticking by the show), but I'm over the whole 'treating every serious story with wacky eps' thing that this show's resorted to. I mean, was Jeff's overdose supposed to be funny? If it wasn't, they didn't do a very good job of treating it seriously. The show used to do stuff like this so well, be it Abed's Xmas, My Dinner with Abed, the doco of Pierce in hospital, Troy's 21st, the original D&D ep; the stories had heart and made you feel for these characters as well as being able to enjoy the more unconventional sitcom concepts they were using. It was what separated Community from other shows. Now it seems to be the writers doing whatever crazy shit they can think of, with the story just being a pretty shallow side note, there only to placate the whole 'needing an actual storyline' crowd...

Whinge whinge.

another brilliant episode.

Pmsl at the 'first death' reaction.

We're allowed to discuss the episode dipstick, even if our opinions are negative.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

I thought it was okay.

The concept of someone dying/killing in GI Joe and everyone spazzing out was ****ing hilarious.

And when he's "suppressing fire" but actually killing them, lol.

I never said you werent allowed to whinge.

 

[gaskin]

Not even going to bother watching it. The animated episodes are the worst and are pretty much unbearable.

Have they done an animated episode before this?

They have done a few. I remember there was a clay one, which I just completely skipped, but there was the one where they played the virtual game.

That's one of my favourite Community episodes.
