the look on Jeff's face when Shirley revealed her foosball tyrant past was also amazing; they've been pushing McHale pretty far outside of his sarcastically inspirational box this season

oh yeah, even the week before when he weeped after getting fired from the Dean role in the commercial.
I kind of want this show to end this season -- it'll end at the top of its game, and we won't have to suffer lamenting "how bad the show got in later years" like with every other show I've ever liked :/.

Dan posts about his stomach flu, goes on from there.
...Here’s a slightly less scientific but immediately present factor that makes me see very clearly that Community’s story is not over: you guys are fucking nuts, in the best way possible. And you are beautiful and kind and honest. And there is a magic emanating from you. You are in lockstep with a universal rhythm, here. You put our show on the cover of TV Guide BEFORE any of this was going down. It looks from a distance like we got yanked and THEN there was this pity party of clicking on that poll to make some point, but that is not what happened, I was there the whole time watching. First, you won us that cover. And TV Guide swore us to secrecy. Then, NBC rescheduled us. Then TV Guide came to the set and took the photos of the cast and swore them to secrecy. We were half wondering if the network would pull strings to kill the cover because, well, you know, awkward much? My point is that when I look at the timeline, I don’t see a boring cause-effect chain. I see a weird, ironic, poetic blossom of mythology. I see story points. I see the folds in the universal cootie catcher, I see an absurdly happy ending...

This episode was a good example of why Shirley is awesome and the haters are wrong. Glad they resurrected the dynamic of Jeff and Shirley as bitching partners from S1. I would happily watch more of the Germans as well, they need to pop up in an end scene sometime.

She's so much better not being a religous strawperson.
Quite like that the thing with Shirley is that she so wants to be a good person but she's actually meanspirited as hell, and that the group likes the honestly meanspirited Shirley much more than the dishonest Christian mother type.

tbh, the thing that makes the hyper-judgy Christian persona work for me is the undercurrent of darkness that fuels it, generating sweetly smiled cruelty like her Halloween story

Also I watched an old episode of Curb the other week and the actress that plays Shirley turns up as an air hostess and I was genuinely weirded out to hear her speaking normally and not doing either her Miss Piggy or Samuel L Jackson voice.

She also does a voice on the utterly ABOMINABLE Pound Puppies cartoon, which I hate but my daughter loves.

OK, after watching for the fifth time or so, maybe you are right, Mr Stevenson. Britta does sing much more conventionally when they're carolling at the end so it probably was her getting excited in the pageant when she was still hypnotized. She might have even thought she was doing a punk rock or outsider-art improvisation kind of deal.
― EveningStar, Sunday, 18 December 2011 06:00 (twelve years ago) link
Also, I don't know if we've mentioned this or not but Britta really has no fucking clue what the words to the song are, she just knows them in her heart, as Abed said.

i have posted about britta but afaik i haven't said anything about the way she was singing in that ep
― some dude (Mr. Stevenson #2), Sunday, 18 December 2011 13:11 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I meant you were right about these things:
i feel like there's a totally logical contrast between the way Britta acts when she's a smug defensive hipster and when she lets her guard down and gets enthusiastic about things. it's what makes her character realistic and, more importantly, hilarious.
i dunno to me it fits perfectly in w/ britta's botched jokes going back to season 1
and I was extrapolating. It made sense in my head.

I got the s1 DVDs for Christmas. I'd actually forgotten how much I loved those episodes, even before they went all high-concept. Just great humour, stories, and characters. "Intro to Film" is slept on imo. And I forgot that the Dean actually first blackmailed Jeff in "Football, Feminism, and You".
Brie does seem to overact a little in the early episodes. I wonder if she got better later or if she just became so hot that I wasn't paying attention anymore.
― EveningStar, Saturday, 31 December 2011 22:57 (twelve years ago) link
Also forgot that Abed became Batman for the first time in the Mexican Halloween episode!

I think Brie just found her footing w/the role and it just so happened that it coincided w/her bringing the sexy.
