Community: 15 Insane Details You Definitely Missed

In later seasons, the study room's white board began containing secret messages for fans to spot, and a few of these flat-out broke the fourth wall to pieces.

In season four's "Cooperative Escapism in Familial Relations," the board says, "thank you for watching," and in the first part of season five's two-part finale "Basic Story," the board reads, "This may be your last chance for a screen capture," with a space left for viewers to add their own joke or comment.

In the latter case this was clearly Dan Harmon unsure of whether or not Community would in fact return for a sixth season, and also a deliciously meta nod to the show's adoring legion of meme-loving fans.
