My Top Ten Favourite Community Episodes

 

My Top Ten Favourite Community Episodes!

Growing up, I loved Community. It was one of my favorite shows; it was so funny, and it gave us funny memes like this.

Here are my top 10 Community episodes. It's amazing that everyone on this show went on to do great things with their careers, and we are getting a Community film with everyone coming back except Chevy Chase, but he was an asshole on the set, so no big loss. 

Now here are my top ten favourite episodes of Community.

10.  Remedial Chaos Theory

Now, I know some of you may strongly disagree with me on this being at 10, but I know it's one of the best episodes of Community, and I agree. Now, this episode has the group at Abed and Troy's apartment, playing games. The Pizza comes, and one of them has to go get it; Jeff rolls a die to decide who will go. Abed tells him he will create seven different timelines. We see the timelines, and the funniest was when Troy got the pizza; it was so funny. The episode ends with Abed pointing out that the dice only have six sides, so Jeff won't get it. They all force Jeff to do it, and at first, some people thought this episode was hating on Jeff, but no, you see Jeff actually smiles like he was fine with it because he loves his friends, and getting the pizza prevents the darkest timeline.  Everyone parties, Pierce destroys the gnome to get back at Troy, Jeff gets the pizza, and he just smiles and eats while everyone dances. We then see the darkest timeline, and it's so funny and dark at the same time. Overall, I do enjoy this episode. I felt like in season 3, Jeff had it bad in the beginning, like he acknowledges that, especially when he grabbed an ax and hit the table over Pierce coming back, and Pierce admits, yeah, he did this, Jeff, because he wanted to be the good guy for once. 

9. Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking

Now, this was one of the funniest episodes, where Abed makes a documentary of the group while Pierce is in the hospital. As well, Pierce gives everyone a special gift, and the funniest storyline is Abed meets Lavere Burton, his favorite actor, but he didn't want to meet him; he just wanted an autograph because he would be disappointed if he wasn't what he thought he was. 

LOL that face says it all.

This episode made me laugh, especially during the scene where Jeff thinks his father is coming to the hospital, but it’s actually Pierce, and Jeff beats the crap out of him. I also find it funny and ridiculous that Pierce wants everyone to take him seriously, but Jeff points out that he isn't actually proving anything. As well, Jeff realizes that taking out his anger on Pierce was an admission of his issues with his father, which he needs to resolve. These moments make the episode hilarious, and I love it for that. Chevy Chase may be an asshole, but he can be funny.

8. The Art of Discourse 

This episode was funny for many reasons, one of them being Abed pants Troy, everyone laughs, Troy returns the favor, and Pierce pants Shirley, let's just say she wasn't wearing anything underneath. Pierce is kicked out of the group (Well, we all know Chevy would leave the show after season 4 because to him the show wasn't funny, but it was; he just has an ego.) Also found it funny when Abed smashed Pierce’s guitar, since it was on his list. As well, Jeff and Britta deal with some teenagers who mock them for being college students at their age. In the end, Pierce and Shirley make amends and help Jeff and Britta get payback on those teens by pantsing them; one of the teens' moms is embarrassed and ends up sleeping with Jeff.

7.  Investigative Journalism

Now, this episode featured Jack Black as a guest star, playing Buddy, and he was one of the show's funniest. Buddy wants to join the group because he thinks they are so cool, and this episode had me rolling, especially when Buddy kicks Jeff in the face by accident. This episode was one of the funniest ones I watched, and the ending was funny because they let Buddy join, but he was later accepted into the cool group led by Owen Wilson, and it turns out the group was actually a second choice. 

6. Regionally Holiday Music 

Community Christmas episodes are always fun to watch for the holidays, and here is one of them. I love this episode because it has good musical numbers and it mocks the shit out of Glee. Dan Harmon, the creator of Community, hated Glee, and he never understood why people love it. The episode's opening was hilarious, especially the Glee club members' freakout when they find out they've been canceled, and Chang just laughs at them. When I saw that, I was like, if only that happened to real Glee characters. 

LOL that's how I feel about Glee too.

So basically, Jeff gets the Glee Club canceled, and a new teacher comes and recruits the group, and each member, except for Britta, has their musical number. Abed then realizes the teacher wants to keep the group going after Christmas, so Abed has Britta sing, and she's not the best singer. We also learn that the teacher was actually the one who killed the original Glee Club. This episode was fun to watch if you love Christmas and hate Glee. 

5. Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas

Here is another Christmas episode that I love, Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas. It's one of my favorites because they use clay animation. The episode has a good, heart-warming message about the holidays and the importance of family and traditions. Also, the Lost joke was funny because I know people who loved the show Lost, and they can relate to Abed when he says this. 

This was a great Christmas episode and a funny one too, especially when Abed was tasered for his musical number.

  

4. Modern Warfare 

Modern Warfare is an episode where a single announcement about paintball sends all of Greendale into a frenzy. It's so funny, like Jeff takes a nap in his car, and he sees all of Greendale turned into a war zone. The scene had some funny moments, and the episode does explore Jeff and Britta's relationship; it's too bad it didn't become a full thing, but hey, Jeff ends up with Annie. I found the funniest moment was when they got ambushed by the Glee club, and again, they are mocking Glee, especially when Jeff shouts, "Write some original songs!" Dan Harmon really hated Glee, and I understand Community is way funnier than Glee.

This was a great episode to watch; it's just funny how crazy Greendale goes over paintball. 

3. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 

Now, this episode I love, and it's one of my favorites. Now I know this episode got banned, but now it's unbanned, all because Chang was a Dark Elf and came off as blackface. Even Yvette Nicole Brown defended the episode. Here's a link to her interview. One thing that's great about this episode is that it calls out bullying. 

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/jE54LOokZYo

Now, in the episode, there is a character, Neil, who is fat and depressed with his life until Jeff pretends to be interested in DND, so he and the group plan a DND game designed by Abed and Troy. Pierce, of course, was not invited, and he basically is a total dick to Neil, even stealing his sword, which shocks everyone. This episode had a lot of funny moments and a good message about calling out bullies. In the end, Neil wants to play DND again with Pierce, and he accepts the offer. This was a great episode, and I love it to this day. 

2. The First Chang Dynasty

Now, this episode is Chang at his best, where he takes over Greendale and imprisons the dean. So the group has to rescue the Dean and stop Chang, who's going to burn down the school with a guitar solo that bursts into flames. This episode was just so funny, and one of the funniest moments is when Britta rescues the Dean, and he's disappointed it's not Jeffery. Chang is just so funny throughout this entire episode; in every scene he's in, I just laugh, especially with Changlorious Bastards. This was a great episode, honestly. The group is at its best in this episode. 

Honourable Mentions 

Documentary Filmmaking: Redux

Dean goes crazy with his Greendale commercial, and who doesn't love Luis Guzman? It's so funny how Greendale builds a statue of him. I hear Luis gets royalties from that statue.

Conventions of Space and Time

Inspector Spacetime is a parody of Dr. Who, and this episode was great. Especially because Community predicted a female Dr. Who, and Britta sees it and loves it, but Abed tells her. "Everybody hates her, not because they're sexist but because she sucks." It's funny because that is what happened when they made Dr. Who into a woman. 

Paradigms of Human Memory

This was a funny episode where the gang finds all their lost stuff that a monkey stole. Also, Jeff and Brita broke up but on good terms. As well, this is the episode where the quote "Six seasons and a movie!" came from, as Abed loved the Cape show, but it got canceled after one season. 

Horror Fiction In Seven Spooky Steps

Now, in this Halloween episode, each gang member tells a scary story. Pierce was the most Pierce story-like in the end; everyone is shocked and disturbed by it. He calls himself Mangum if you know what that means. The other Halloween stories are funny too. Especially Shirley, with the Dean as the devil shouting gay marriage.

Asian Population Studies

Now, in this episode, Chang is putting his name to the change word, and it's not clever, as Jeff says.

As well, Shirley and Andre are getting back together because she's pregnant, but it turns out Chang might be the father. Eventually, it's proven that Chang isn't the father. Still a great episode, and I found it funny that Pierce reveals that Shirley and Chang had sex, all because he didn't want to lose the kettlecorn that Rich gave them. 

Cooperative Escapism in Familial Relations

Now, in this episode, Jeff finally confronts his father, whom he hasn't seen in a long time. Britta is so funny in this episode, as she's wanted to help Jeff with this for years. Also, this is a great Thanksgiving episode, especially when the group goes to Shirley's. 

Advanced Introduction to Finality

Now this episode is a funny one because it's all in Jeff's head, where the Darkest Timeline group comes to destroy the group. It was funny when the Dean was preparing Jeff's graduation, and dark timeline Jeff arrived wearing nothing but his boxers, walked away, and Dean heard his secretary scream. Instead of being concerned for her, he just says, "Catherine!?! Do not even tell me you dropped that cake."

As well, Darktime line Abed tells Abed that Cape was renewed for six seasons and a movie. 

and my favourite Community episode is....

1. Pillows and Blankets

Pillows and Blankets to me is the best Community episode because the whole story is basically Abed and Troy reliving their old days as kids, building blanket forts or pillow forts, which I did when I was a kid too. However, this causes a rift between them, and all of Greendale gets divided over pillows and blankets, and it is so funny, but also like really all of Greendale is at war with each other over pillows and blankets forts. I love how they make it a documentary and make it look like a historical event. Also, Keith David as the narrator was a great choice, and he later joined the show for the final season. I love it when the Dean tells Starburns to watch it, and he freaks out and shouts, "My name is Alan." The dean screamed, laughing, and of course, Pierce's pillow suit.

To me, this episode is the best Community episode. It's so well written, and the ending of it was great, especially when Jeff resolves the whole thing. This is a great episode, and I love it to this day. Especially when Jeff asks Keith, “Weren’t you in the Cape?” and he responds, “...No.” 

These are my top 10 favorite Community episodes. Let me know what you think, and I'm excited to see the Community film. I can’t wait to see what happened to everyone after the final season.

I can see a scene where the Dean doesn't touch Jeff because times have changed, and he doesn't want to get Metoo. Jeff would have a lot of fun with that.

The Punisher One Last Kill Review

 

The Punisher One Last Kill Review 

So I saw The Punisher: One Last Kill, and here's my review. I loved it, like this was one of the best MCU projects I've seen, like it's only fifty minutes, but it is so good you want more. Let me tell you, Marvel really did a good job with doing a bloody R-rated project since Deadpool and Wolverine. The story is basically Frank returning as the Punisher after the events of Daredevil: Born Again Season One. I won't give too much away, but there are some hateable characters in this, and like some criminals kill a dog, and honestly, when Punisher gets that guy, it's satisfying because it's so awful how they kill that dog. Also, there are some sad moments like when Frank visits his family's grave, and I got to tell you, Jon Benthal does a fantastic job in that scene that I was moved, I almost cried. Also love this one scene, a father protecting his family from some thugs, because let me tell ya, the street Frank lives on is one of the worst streets ever to live on. When you see Frank Castle back in action it's awesome. The cast all did a great job especially Jon Benthal he was born to play Punisher. As well the action scenes were great and it was on the same level with John Wick.

This is a great fifty-minute film. I hope we get a TV series or a film. I love this short; I give it a 10 out of 10. 

In Memory of Punisher Co-Creator Gerry Cornwall.

It's sad he didn't get a chance to watch The Last Kill I think he would have loved it.

Now I want to talk about this and say Punisher was never a problematic character. The problem was that certain people were using the character's symbol for political statements. Even Gerry Conway has called out people for using the symbol like that, stating it violates the character's purpose as a critique of the justice system.  

Frank Castle is one of the most violent and tragic characters in Marvel, but despite his ways, he does own up to his actions and takes responsibility for them. Besides, there are other characters like Wolverine, Black Widow, Elektra, Deadpool, Ghost Rider, Winter Solder, and Venom that have killed just as much as Punisher has and done worse. That's just how anti-heroes are written unlike superheroes. 

In this comic, he calls out some cops for using his symbol as a police symbol. He doesn't want them to look up to him because he's not a good role model. Let's face it Punisher is not a good role model for stuff like that.  

I'm looking forward to seeing Punisher again in Spider-Man Brand New Day. Punisher was never  problematic, and I’m glad Marvel is realizing that now.

Dragon Age TV Series Fan Cast and Ideas

 

Dragon Age Tv Series Fan Cast and Ideas

So, as you know, I'm a big Dragon Age fan, but I really didn't like Veilguard; overall, I still love Dragon Age. So I'm doing a Dragon Age Fan Cast and Ideas. If I were to make a Dragon Age show, I would base it on Origins because it's the best one. Now seeing the success of The Last of US and other good video game adaptations, I think Dragon Age could work as long as it's done right. 

Now Origins made the play create a character from different origins: human noble, circle mage, dalish elf, city elf, dwarf commoner, and dwarf noble. Many people wonder if there was an adaptation that originated with, but I think they could go with all the origins. However, if I had to go with one origin, let's say the studio didn't want to focus on that many characters. 

So I would go with the Human Noble Origin. I know that's the default one, and I've played that one a lot, and it's my personal favorite. The human noble is male, and his default name is Aedan Cousland. Aedan is the youngest Cousland and is the last of them after his house was betrayed by Rendon Howe. He joins the Grey Wardens under Warden Commander Duncan, who saw something in Aedan. Aedan is good-hearted, heroic, funny, and he has a silver tongue. He is skilled in sword-and-shield combat, and he basically wants to see the world. He wanted to join the Wardens, which happened, but not the way he wanted, because his family was killed by Rendon Howe. However, things get worse when Loghain betrays King Cailan at Ostagar, and now Aedan and Alistair are the last of the Grey Wardens and the secret son of King Maric, and they are joined by Aedan's dog Max, Morrigan, a witch of the wilds (Aedan's love interest), Leliana, a Sister of the chairnty, Sten of the Qunari, Wynne, a mage of the circle, Zevarn of the Antivan Crows, Shale, a golem, and Ogrhen, a loveable drunk dwarf. Aedan will face many dangers and must make difficult choices that will change Ferelden for better or worse.

 That's my cast for a Dragon Age TV Series. 

Now here are my ideas for a Dragon Age TV Series.

6. I would look at Fallout, Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and Lord of the Rings for inspiration. 

Now, for a Dragon Age TV Series, I would look at three projects here for inspiration on how to adapt it. Fallout is one of the best video game adaptations out there and is a good blueprint for adapting a video game, since we are getting a Mass Effect TV series from Amazon, too. The Lord of the Rings and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are strong blueprints for a high fantasy epic, as both adaptations are faithful and well-received by critics and fans. 

5. The series should be a ten-episode, epic dark fantasy.

Now, Dragon Age, as it is, needs to be an epic dark fantasy, set in a fantasy world with elves, dwarves, mages, and more. We see epic battles and some hardcore romance, and we want this show to be about escapism, unlike Veilguard. I would also make the series a ten-episode series. The first season covers Ostgar, Redcliffe, and Circle of Magi; the second season covers Urn of Sacard Ashes, Nature of the Beast, The Stone Prisoner, and Orzammar; and the third season is Return to Ostgar, Warden's Keep, Landsmeet, and The Blight. All episodes are each an hour long, and the last episode is two hours long, like a film. 

4. The Human Noble Origin makes sense as the origin to go with. 

Now, I know many fans love the other origins as do I, but I think everyone can agree that the Human Noble Origin is the best. I mean, I play the Human Noble all the time, and I prefer it, and I think it would be the best one to go with for a TV series. Now I know some might argue, why not just adapt all the origins, and everyone is happy, and let me tell you I have ideas about that, and it could work, but I feel like that would be too many characters for so many to follow, even if you have them split into different groups for the Grey Warden treaties. So I think it's best to stick with one origin because we should give character development for the companions too, like the companions' quests would be in the show too, like Alistair meeting Goldana, Killing Flemeth for Morrigan, Leliana facing Marjolaine, Sten's Sword, Zevran reuniting with the Crows, Wynne's regret, Shale's Past, and Oghren's Old Flame.   

3. The series will be a lot more steamy and bloody and not afraid to go full R.

Now this show would have a lot of blood, gore, nudity, sex, swearing, and it would make Game of Thrones look harmless by comparison. Dragon Age would be considered a more mature Lord of the Rings because it features elves and dwarves. Unlike Veilguard, I wouldn't lie about stuff they said. I would keep my promise. As well, the characters fight; they will be bloody, with blood on their armor. 

2. The Warden and Morrigan Romance is the best romance to go with. 

The Warden's love interest is Morrigan, and in my opinion, this is the best romance in Origins. I know Alistair, Leliana, and Zevarn's romances are good too, but if I had to pick, Morrigan is the best one. The romance is also tragic because, well, if you play the game, the main reason she came with the Wardens was to get pregnant by one of them and have a child born with the soul of an old god. Despite having a romance with Morrigan, she feels regret for this because she grows to love Warden as he does to her. That's why I think it would be the best romance to adapt. As well, in the show, Aedan and Morrigan come from two different worlds and lead different lifestyles. The two of them have a passion for each other and learn about things from each other. Aedan teaches Morrigan that love is not a weakness, unlike what Flemeth taught her, that power is more important. Morrigan, at one point, wants to end her relationship because she doesn't want to hurt him, but in the end, she can't, and he doesn't want her to either, as she realizes she loves him.  The two of them would get there happy ending at the end of Witch Hunt and raise their son Kieran together. 

2. The series would still respect the lore and would keep it the same. 

Now, one thing I don't like is that The Rings of Power ruined Tolkien's lore. Now, Dragon Age I would respect the lore and keep it as it is, like humans are equals, except when it comes to elves and mages, they treat them like crap, and dwarves keep their gates closed, and they face the Darkspawn every day without help from humans or elves. I wouldn't make any changes to the lore except when it comes to the story I would have to pick, which outcome comes from every quest. I would also get Mike Laidlaw and David Gaider involved in the show as they know this series better than anyone. 

Also I wouldn't do what Veilguard did, especially that crap, were it was revealed that demons made Loghain betray King Calian; that is just dumb in my eyes. 

1. We would see Awakening, Dragon Age 2, and Inquisition get adapted as well...No Veilguard. 

Now, after Origins, I would make a season of Dragon Age Awakening, and I would adapt Witch Hunt, but I would make some changes, like have more of the original characters in Witch Hunt, and end the Warden's story with him and Morrigan raising their son, Kieran. For Dragon Age 2, I would make a spin-off sequel focusing on Hawke, and I would call it Dragon Age: The Champion of Kirkwall. The same for Dragon Age: Inquisition. Basically, I would follow the approach of having the other games, but with a sequel series to Origins featuring new characters, with some old characters returning for cameos or important roles.

So that's my Dragon Age TV Series Fan Cast and Ideas.

Let me know what you think?
