Still, this doesn’t stop Jeff from doing the fabled “guy-on-guy” Ghost parody when he realizes that there’s someone better than him at making clay pots. When joining blow-off course Beginning Pottery, Jeff should have paid attention that the professor has only one rule: no “ghosting.” It makes sense that after 20 years of teaching pottery, he’d grown sick of watching people make fun of his evocation by reenacting the most famous scene from Ghost. Season 1: Beginner Pottery – Ghost (and all Jeff Goldblum Movies)
It’s safe to say that the Community writers love John Hughes, and The Breakfast Club in particular, since Jeff takes his romantic advice from Abed-which apparently involves dancing like Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald, and the rest of those quirky high schoolers from the 1985 classic. Subscribe Season 1: Communication Studies – The Breakfast Club “Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight.” – Abed and Troy singing to their biology rat. Season 1: Environmental Science – An American Tail Season 1: Introduction to Statistics – The Dark KnightĪbed’s Christian Bale impersonation, modeled specifically after The Dark Knight, was the Batman we deserved and needed at that moment. In the first minute of the episode, John Michael Higgins comes in as Professor Whitman and demands that his students throw away their textbooks to seize the day via “Carpe Diem ” this is anything but Jeff Winger’s ode to joy. When Jeff continues to tinker at the art of blowing off courses, he drifts into the wrong kind of feel-good easy-A course: the type with a teacher who wishes to inspire. Season 1: Introduction to Film – Dead Poets Society In retrospect, I wonder if Harmon and Jim Rash wish they had the Dean come in right then and start talking about messing with bulls and horns. Together, they’ll find intolerance and acceptance… Consider that Abed thinks that Jeff is going to be 1970s television’s Welcome Back, Kotter, but he quickly realizes that this is “getting much more like The Breakfast Club” with seven disparate personalities seemingly trapped together in a school library.
COMMUNITY BOTTLE EPISODE QUOTES MOVIE
But even then the earliest seeds of movie references were ready to sprout. This is the show NBC naively signed up for oh so many moons ago. The first episode of Dan Harmon’s grand experiment at turning a network sitcom into a televised reddit forum focused mostly on the actual community college aspect at the beginning. Now it’s time to crank up the Dave and prepare to seize the day! Here are the 61 Movie References of Community. Read more: Donald Glover’s Top 10 Community Episodes
Also, we are compiling this list by naming only one episode per entry, even if it has multiple movie references, which we will still try to find all of therein. As this is strictly in relation to movie references, this means we will be skipping over brilliant takedowns of Glee and the backhanded compliments to Law & Order. Thus we have compiled a list of every movie reference (that we can think of or remember). However, even from the very first episode, “Pilot,” there was a bit of a taste for poking fun at movie clichés long before Abed had even heard the word “paintball.” Initially, the focus was more on the sitcom tropes that showrunner Dan Harmon, executive producer Chris McKenna, and the rest of the Community writing staff were gleefully deconstructing and sending up.
Which in an abstract sense is perfectly sound: Community has been making movies from the very beginning (or at least parodies of them).Īs originally a sitcom purportedly about folks from different walks of life going to school at a city college, Community has never been shy about mining pop culture, counter culture, and really just about any kind of culture for a gag. Still, fans desperately want a Community movie to happen, and creator Dan Harmon and many cast members have not ruled it out even in 2019. Yes, the sixth season of Community came and went on Yahoo! and is now come again on Hulu, along with the rest of the series. At this point, it’s less of a joke and more of a manifest destiny statement for Greendale and its hapless student body… or at least the fans who cling to their memory.
