10 Most Insane Community Fan Theories
5. Abed Is Aware That The Show Exists
Abed is one of the most meta characters to ever appear in television history, in the same way that Bugs Bunny knew that he was in a show so does Abed.
The theory of /Brinner/ on Reddit states that Abed knows the whole of Community is a show that airs on TV and he is aware of the cameras that follow them around but never mentions it to the rest of the study group. It also states that Abed breaks the 4th wall once a season to let the fans know that he knows it's all a series.
Whilst this would explain quite a lot about Abed's constant meta-references and comments about how they are following the clichés of a TV show, it is one of those that is probably just a part of Community's tongue-in-cheek humour surrounding the traditional sitcom structure.
Abed certainly is the character that has the most theories surrounding him because of the meta things he has pointed out to the group, only to be shot down by the rest of them, and the way he treats everything like it really is a TV sitcom. In the end, if the movie happens, perhaps this could be addressed. Though it'd probably be better if it wasn't definitive.
