15 Funniest Community Scenes
Nothing from the gas leak year, of course.
Community, which ran from 2005-2014 on NBC and then in 2015 on the short-lived streaming service Yahoo! Screen, never failed to make audiences laugh. Its jokes, gimmicks, and references always hit the mark, leading to a fiercely loyal cult fanbase.
Since the show hit Netflix last month, that fanbase has grown even larger, giving Community a much-deserved second wave. As such, the long awaited movie, of #sixseasonsandamovie fame, looks more likely than ever, meaning we may see more of The Greendale 5/6/7 sometime soon.
In the meantime, rewatching the show illuminates the moments so funny that we can never get enough of them. The jokes, songs, dances, parodies--er, sorry Abed, homages--,guest stars, and subtle details on this list are just as hilarious on the seventh watch as they are on the first.
Here are fifteen (two for each season and the movie and one for good luck) of the funniest scenes in Community.
Since there are so many more hilarious moments in the show aside from these fifteen, let us know your favourites that didn’t make the list.
15. You Have Successfully Rubbed Your Balls On The Sword
In the second season, Pierce Hawthorne becomes more of a villain. Community makes this the most obvious in the episode Advanced Dungeons in Dragons, when, after the rest of the study group leave him out of a game of Dungeons and Dragons, he forces his way into the group and plays by his own rules. Unlike every other D&D player ever, he actively antagonizes his party, stealing fa--bulous Neil's beloved Sword of Ducane.
Things take a hilarious turn when Pierce gloats, having his character hump Neil's sword. Abed, the impartial Dungeon Master, rolls to see if he succeeds in his task. He does, and Danny Pudi's totally deadpan delivery is pitch perfect.
Then, Jeff takes Pierce into the hallway to berate him in a scene which Joel McHale believes should have earned Chevy Chase an Emmy. The scene includes dialogue which perfectly describes both Pierce and Jeff. Pierce says, "I don't like being excluded, Jeff. Do you?" Jeff responds with "Yes!"
The writers rolled a nat 20 with this scene.
