I really liked last night’s Community. It’s easy — for me at least — it’s very easy for me to be miserable about things — to pick things to complain about with Community. Like how they can’t seem to get through an episode without a self-aware jab at the audience’s inability to connect with their “wacky” characters (a jab at the audience, really, more than Community itself) (which is VERY ANNOYING) (and incorrect). Or how Abed’s character went off the deep end last night in a way that seemed kind of forced. But really, that is all nitpick-y and not the way I really felt about the episode. The way I really felt about the episode was that it was great! The celebrity impersonators were funny, the idea that Abed would hire celebrity impersonators was funny, and French Stewart is ALWAYS funny, no duh. But it will be interesting to see where they go with Abed after this episode. I am interested, at least. After Community we had two episodes of 30 Rock. First I thought my DVR screwed up and was so mad about it, but then I realized that it did not. The End. Kenneth kind of pulled an Abed in the first episode, telling Jack that he doesn’t know how much longer he can keep telling himself that everything’s fine, so I am ALSO interested to see where they’ll go with that. The second episode featured Billy Baldwin (AKA Serena’s dad) in the role of Jack for the Lifetime movie about Avery, which was very good. Also Miranda did a good Jack’s Boston girlfriend. ALSO WEIRD AL! Of the two episodes, I preferred the second, mostly because that one had Weird Al in it. I also watched Up All Night, because I am a hero, and it was not bad. Henry Winkler was on it! Truly a night of guest stars.

It was also a great night for Renee Zellweger references.
I’ve been watching* Awake and… umm… it certainly is a show that is on television.
*By watching I mean my wife has been watching and I’ve been playing Angry Birds Space and occasionally looking up at the TV.
“awake sucks”-dream reality Steve Winwood
TWO 30 Rock episodes?!?!?
goddammit Comcast! you own this show! you should want me to watch it! your DVRs should be programed to record even reruns!
“you said a man should only wear pastels if he’s black and it’s Easter” was the line of the night for me.
but Chang’s Renee Zellwegger face and a great line in the ‘Community’ cold open which I can’t remember had me in stitches.
Do you have a your friends with Moby gif please?
I was a little worried about Community after last week’s blah episode but this week really brought it. And who can complain about shirtless Jeff Winger. I mean…SPORTS!
Troy’s face here broke my heart, I am interested so see where they go with the Troy and Abed friendship for the rest of the season.
It’s kind of odd considering they switched the order of this episode and last week’s (this one references everyone being back from holiday break at the beginning). This one ends on such a portentous note for Troy and Abed’s relationship, yet the next episode (last week’s) has them immediately back in best friends mode and pulling off a 24 hour stretch in the dreamatorium together.
Spock and evil Spock. Loved it!!
Woah, GIF Darko?
Billy Baldwin killed it, and yet Stephen remains unrestored.
That’s gross.
Wait, replied to the wrong gif!
Niiiiiiiiice gif
Her lusty faces throughout were hilarious. And hot, OF COURSE.
That’s just gross.
Damn, replied on the wrong gif again.
No you’re right, that is gross.
Can’t wait to use this trick when I’m married.
Sex and the City is gross.
VIVA ROJO CALIENTE!
(Dlisted fans should get this)
It is actually Mrs. Rojo Caliente. Her wife is Rojo!
I’m sorry, I could not stop laughing at this part. Kenneth’s face was priceless.
How about that Vampire Diaries episode? Not so great, huh? Neither Meredith nor Sage is as interesting an addition to the cast as the showrunners seem to think. Ditto Rebekah. I’ll take Elijah, more Caroline and the return of Tyler instead.
Speaking of Tyler, where is he again? Trying to break his sire-bond or something?
more tyler more tyler more tyler more tyler more tyler (more elijah) more tyler more tyler
Seriously where is Elijah? I think we can all agree he is the best.
The whole killer Alaric thing is also ridiculous.
Ugh the male gaze
Yeah they’re gays
great lines

Homo Slow-Mo, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.
I love this show so much. LOVE IT.
I was just about to say that! And as usual, this episode looks great!
“Like how they can’t seem to get through an episode without a self-aware jab at the audience’s inability to connect with their “wacky” characters (a jab at the audience, really, more than Community itself) (which is VERY ANNOYING) (and incorrect).”
I always take those references at not connecting to be more about the Aspergers-like rabbit holes Abed seems to disappear into, which are no stretch to declare somewhat autobiographical of Dan Harmon. Abed alone, drifting in space, with himself as his only companion was pretty dark and also touching.
need more alison brie gifs up in this
Alas, she was barely in the episode.
Who said “new ones?”
