nbc's thursday night comedy poop factory

[Broncobama]

i'm sure universe will discover he only liked/disliked the show because it was like liking in a mirror!

[Asian Santa Baby]

Well, I guess the 8-bit episode was a lot like your boarding: TWO DIMENSIONAL!

[Asian Santa Baby]

Wait, is being two dimensional a bad thing? I dont know where to go from here...

[Asian Santa Baby]

Community sucks.

[creationist]

I mean if you really want to take the position that a sitcom which just did an entire episode of 8 bit graphics and RPG jokes bares no resemblance to the interests of most online communities, I'll let you.

[Broncobama]

But that isn't what you said.

[Asian Santa Baby]

Is the argument you're making that Community is 4chan: The Sitcom? If so, no one is arguing with you.

[creationist]

Look closer... into the mirror

[ifear]

I don't think character depth or story-telling is necessary for comedy, though. It's done successfully in shorts and films all of the time.

that's true, but only over the space of a few minutes and a couple of hours respectively - community's about 26 hours long at present and it's clear the premise alone isn't sufficient to wring humour out of.

[Broncobama]

Yeah, what was dumb was your assumption that the only reason anyone's knocking it is because it's basically internet culture. Which is dismissive, lazy and wrong.

[creationist]

That's not my assumption. Who's dismissive, lazy, and wrong now?

[Broncobama]

thread hates Community so much because it's like looking in a mirror.

that was your assumption

As far as you or your specific reasons for disliking the show, I don't care.

that was when you admitted you're retarded, but

Look closer... into the mirror

was the moment when you finally and truly realized that you are retarded

[universe]

guys, don't worry. you're both retarded.

[creationist]

Community feels a lot like an Internet message board, was my point. Same fascinations, same failings. If I had to guess that's why it draws way more acclaim/derision online versus the total apathy with which it was met in the real world. But you're free to like it or dislike it for whateer reason you want, not because of that. I don't know how else to put it. I'm retarded.

[ifear]

creationist, you're such a britta

[creationist]

Actually I'm Dan Harmon

Three years just trying to get you guys to like me FOR NOTHING

if community was a message board, the least it could do is have a cool animated gif thread...

[creationist]

Rather have album leaks. But no, not literally. The intital quote that started this was that the writers felt like IT jerks who didn't understand nerd humor versus what was real life funny and had an inflated sense of their own coolness. I felt like that same description could be applied to the people who show up in places like this. Sadly the point got proven.

[sambadeamigo]

i'd probably rather watch community than listen to people defend it

[Broncobama]

Sadly the point got proven.

holy shit

[The Dirty Turtle]

im glad we decided in here that all internet message boards are the same

[Durham]

creationist what are you doing

[Broncobama]

creationist what are you doing

demonstrating an elegant and well-crafted passive-aggressive method of defending community

[creationist]

Think you meant eloquent.

[Broncobama]

i didn't, but sure

[worrywort]

please stop fighting

[creationist]

Okay. Truce. I have to go for the night and Erik's just proven he isn't going to understand my quirky Internet based meta humor.

[saranclaps]

I dunno if I can even defend Community season one at this point.

NBC must be really fucked if they actually put this 8-bit episode on the air. Shit gives an even worse name to Aspergers than me.

[pinkerton]

creationist cracks me up

[Lowercase Tea]

Man you guys really hate this tv show that most of America doesn't give a shit about.
