I’m fully convinced that the reason Chevy’s so bitter about Community, and in particular the character of Pierce, is that he secretly knows how similar him and Pierce really are: vindictive, self-absorbed, bored-with-wealth, well-past his prime, but ultimately insecure.

Chase: Why don’t you make the show at least moderately funny?
Harmon: Because it would be such a hassle to replace McHale and that Glover kid. And we’re on NBC.
Chase: Oh. I’m just gonna go and deposit this check now.

Good one, That One.
From IMDB:

Your agent sucks, Chevy.

They all just seem like such treasures.
Yes, Chevy, your problem is DEFINITELY being “too funny.”
