Community

Community is one of the most underrated comedies of all-time. It's a comedy that takes place at Greendale Community College and follows the lives of its students, most adults looking to better their lives. I don't even k ow how to describe how much I love this incredible show! It's easily one of my all-time favorite comedies. All you have to do is read through the reviews to see how much everyone liked this show. You'll find it hard to find anyone who's actually watched the show who doesn't love it. It's one of the rare shows where the entire cast is hilarious and there's not a wink link among them. It stars Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Danny Purdi, Chevy Chase & Ken Jeong. They all give outstanding performances here. I've probably seen the entire series 3 or 4 times through and still find it just as funny as I did the first time. This is a must watch!

Community is one of the smartest and most endearing sitcoms ever created. Despite its ups and downs, its creative lacks, the behind the scenes drama, I still would recommend it to anyone who considers themselves a fan of movies or tv shows, or anyone who's just a bit trope-savvy and enjoys cleverness and absurd humor. The comforting nature of the show comes from its setting: a school, a community college of dubious prestige where "lesser people" find each other and find value in their own messy existence. They have adventures and discoveries in the setting of the school, they fight, they fall in love. It takes the very concept of a teen sitcom and adds an extremely important factor: the playfulness. The playfulness of living a boring day of school, a boring event, like a life-changing movie-like adventure. That's how being in school feels like, and it's weird that the only show that captures it is a show about adults: every mystery turns into a true-crime fiction, every paint-ball game into a western/star wars fantasy war, every discovery into something magical. The show is not just "parodying" these stories, the show is the characters basically reenacting, living their lives as these stories. There's a kind of childish joy in seeing a blanket fort turn into a crazy underground city, or an investigation into a dead yam turn into a law&order episode. Rather, there's a joy in watching the characters basically pretending that this is the case, themselves playing characters, creating a make-believe world out of a trivial day of school, thrilling and fun but also ultimately safe and comforting. You can feel Harmon's joy of the creative process through the characters, and I'm willing to bet a lot of the actors in the cast had a blast. The 4th season (the one everyone hates) is not as bad as people say, it's just a pointless and functional imitation of the previous seasons. Pierce was probably one of the most interesting characters to put in the main cast of a show like this, shame for all that's happened. The later seasons feel a bit tired, but you can't deny that there's a lot of great moments in seasons 5 and 6, as short-lived and unlucky they were. It's amazing on first watch and still holds up on the third.

Community is absolutely one of my favorite sitcoms of all-time. I know people say this about a lot of shows but this is absolutely one of the most underrated comedies in the history of television. It's on most best comedies of all-time lists I've ever seen. Every character on the show is hilarious, there's not a weak link among them. There's literally not a bad character on the entire show. It's also one of the rare shows where every season is just as hilarious as the one's before it. Every episode of every season is terrific. The only exception is the last season isn't quite as good after Donald Glover leaves the show. It's still worth watching, it's just not as good without Glover. This show also has an endless supply of cameos throughout the series that are all fantastic. If you're looking for a show that will actually are you laugh out loud then give this a try. You won't be disappointed.

As a European, I am not really a big fan of typical US comedy. Yeah I can laugh at some scenes of friends, Seinfeld or any other main network sitcom, but they never make want to rewind and watch a joke/situation again.

I only had that with some moments of Scrubs and well.... Community!

First of all thank god for the absence of the laugh tape. I hate that old figment of the 60's etc. If something is funny, it's funny. Not because other people are laughing on tape.

Community has this really quirky well thought sense of humor where every aspect is really worked out. Offcourse there is some typecasting going on like the oh-no-you-didn't African-American woman but Yvette someway makes that type more than a type.

I could give a review of every cast member but all I have to say is: the ones casted as a typical egocentric bastard, pretty girl or anything else are bringing more than just that.

I have to say that Danny Pudi, Chevy Chase and Donald Glover are the absolute funniest written and played characters/types on this show but I have to say: none of the cast hasn't NOT entertained me.

The type of humor really reminds me of scrubs and British humor with more interest to the unexpected. than to the typical expected. Not "just random" humor, but just something else then the thing you've would expect.

Please do not cancel this show soon. It is one of the shows I really look forward to each week.

i am very critical of television. i hate clichés, shows that try to teach you things, and more than anything ripoffs(like the fact that family guy takes most of its plot lines form old simpsons episodes). but Community is original, and dead-on with every punchline. Abed has some of the best delivery i have seen in years. everything he says and the way that he says it is side-splitting. the whole episode i am just longing for more words to come out of his mouth. brilliant beatbox/rap at the end of episode 2 by the way. Joel McHale is a great leading man who plays an ass trying a little harder not to be an ass(maybe its just to get a girl but regardless). i was confused about the purpose of chevy chase in this (dont get me wrong, he is hilarious, but in this he's just a side character) until i saw the second episode (Spanish 101) in which he does a Spanish presentation that is golden. no more doubts in my mind.

this show is bound for great things. my only concern is that every show that i love gets canceled because not enough people get it. (Firefly, Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks). So i just hope people give this show a chance. i was won over after one viewing. This is one of the nicest surprises i have seen in a long time and i strongly encourage you to at least watch the pilot on HULU. worth every minute.
