Community: Every Main Character Ranked Worst To Best
7. Ben Chang
Ken Jeong is, without a doubt, a comedy genius. The man has such a great way of bringing energy and over-the-top antics to his characters, and while it might not be for everyone, it was perfect for Community. He has such a skill with taking little things and making them way bigger than they should be, and that's something he brought to the forefront of Ben Chang. Still, the character did go off the rails, and not in a good way.
At first, Chang was the hilarious Spanish teacher who ruled over his class with an iron fist and constantly caused havoc for the leads. Jeong brought his typical obnoxious energy to this, and it worked. But, he was eventually outed as a fake and went through an identity crisis.
The devolution of Chang was hilarious at first, as his new position in the school grew to outlandish proportions. His period as dictator was a particular highlight. However, he felt very directionless after that ended and never managed to establish a key part in the leading group outside of being a minor annoyance.
For that, and his lack of subtlety, he falls near the lower end of this hierarchy.
