10 Things You Learn Rewatching Community

If you were to stuff all of the insufferable self righteousness, abysmally lacking self awareness, and in your face attitude of Twitter into a single bipedal approximation of a human, it would look something eerily similar to Britta.

The main running gag of the character of Britta Perry is that she is everything the right thinks the left is like, a scolding busybody who was probably among those who demanded Cartoon Network take down Speedy Gonzales cartoons for being racist against Hispanics... without once consulting the Hispanic community for their thoughts on the matter. And the biggest punchline of all? She's kind of right about everything.

We, and the show itself, makes fun of her at every turn, but the show always makes sure to frame the issues she's fighting for as worthy causes. Civil liberties, the protection of minorities, and holding corporations accountable ARE actually important.

It isn't her political leanings that make her so hilariously pathetic, it's how she goes about expressing them. In the first episode of season 2, we see Annie get into helping Britta spread awareness for an oil spill and bringing in way more funding than her. Britta believes it's because she's super cute and thus attracting more attention from horny guys, but really it's because she informs the people who flock to her WHY their cause is important. A few episodes later, Britta learns of a friend of hers who is in custody overseas for providing refugee aid.

And that's why we and the show love making fun of Britta. While she believes a lot of the right things, she's not exactly changing the world by yelling woke facts at a community college.
