this is like sub comic book guy

Pretty LCD reference there dogg

whiney’s bringin it itt i dont care what u say

that dirty projectors joke is a classic

getting mad at an in-jokey end credits gag is pretty funny, though. like if you judged the simpsons by one of those bits where chief wiggum is just talking over the credits.

this is like the dumbest argument ever because communiturds judge the show’s very worth on how WTFBBQ META (am i blowing your mind yet)

META META the show can be, and I guess that doesn’t translate to the hilar “”“”joke“”“” of a dude screeching CHANG CHANG CHANG to carol of the bells?

hey while you’re back can you explain the thing about tangrams

dude anyone who knows what tangrams are is a weiner and that’s all i’ll say

sometimes after a tough week i sit back and have a drink and reflect on life’s simple pleasures, such as knowing that no matter what happens i’ll probably always be happier and more secure than whiney.

oh man, listen to this from wikipedia

The Christmas-themed episode is a musical featuring original songs performed by cast members. After Greendale’s glee club members become incapacitated, the study group are asked to join. Despite their dislike of the club, each of them are lured into joining after their vulnerabilities are exploited. The episode features multiple jokes at the expense of the television series Glee.

how many sbs did whiney dodge in this thread you think

most of the show is pretty trad character-driven sitcom stuff modeled after Cheers more than anything else, there are a decent number of 4th wall jokes but i don’t feel like that’s the thing people most like the show for.

actually if you ever decide to force yourself to sit through one full episode of the show i would recommend s2e5 since the whole thing is basically making fun of/criticizing charlie kaufman-style meta for meta’s sake

doesn’t whiney hate ows

most of the show is pretty trad character-driven sitcom stuff

the word is spelled “tard”

like it’s literally insane that you’re pretending as if ‘referential’ comedy is completely offensive to you on every level considering how you form every single joke you make

actually ship, I watched the entire first episode of Community

i think it’s really funny that someone who hates this show so much has read all this stuff about it on the internet so he can bitch about the meta content. meanwhile i like this show well enough (it’s one of three things on tv that my gf and i can agree on) and have literally never read anything about it other than the ilx thread and never understand the references unless someone irl explains them to me.

first ep was far from their best but i’m not gonna front like it’s a 100% different show now or anything

good man

whiney how much time do you spend on the internet just curious

too much

the usefulness of disliking the internet, as a writer or as a listener etc.

i’m gonna go read the grunge book some more, peace fuckin out

whiney doing a valuable service itt

<3

While performing “Baby Boomer Santa”, Troy and Abed recreate musical styles from the 1940s to 1980s, including performing “Dancing in the Dark” and Troy impersonating Bob Dylan.[1][5]

oh there’s star wars references in this one too, very fresh stuff!

is there a succinct word or phrase for when you don’t interact with a piece of media directly, but you find pleasure in keeping tabs on it indirectly? like whiney itt, or like how i can’t watch a republican debate without wanting to die inside but i’ll read people live-blogging one with great enjoyment.

hahahaaaaa

thread got awesome again

whiney’s hating of community for doing what the simpsons has made every show do, also on a christmas episode, is hilar

all christmas episodes of tv usually suck

Community’s christmas episodes are awesome! the claymation one was a tad disappointing based on the hype, but the one with Anthony Michael Hall as the ‘bully’ was all time.

“MY LIFE is a gym!”

also the attempts to provoke Community fans itt are kinda hilar.

this was one of the parts that was clearly making fun of Glee btw

i was in high school choir (lettered in it 3 times, lol nerd) and man if it weren’t nothin like Glee. we had lots of criminals and future dropouts in choir my sophomore year. no bubbly people at all.

although the everybody having sex wth each other part def happened

SING OUT YOUR LUNGS WHERE I’M FROM, GLEE CLUB SON, AIN’T NOTHIN NICE

just saw this ep, it was p bad I thought

RONG

unless you mean bad like Michael Jackson

what’s funny about whineys trolling itt isn’t just that it’s funny sometimes, it’s the whole idea of a nerd flexing nuts because the stuff he’s nerdy about is like more tuff or something. tho I guess dude IS the metalhead itt, so I dunno, I’m just gonna sit here humming tmbg songs while he reads a grunge book, furiously

i’m also a metalhead ftr

and the metal i listen to is more tr00

and has more bpm

well I like metal too but dude for real wgw already staked out a claim as the metalhead itt

isn’t whiney a kevin smith fan?

‘that’s not how you make star wars jokes...*this* is how you make star wars jokes’

this ep was a little too much like actually watching glee

yes, whiney celebrates the whole kevin smith filmography

lol @ “reads a grunge book, furiously”

q: does anyone here think the amazingly bad community xmas bumper whiney posted is anything other than horrible?

the one where minor community characters sing “carol of the bells” using their catchphrases? can’t believe anyone could muster up a stronger sentiment than “eh, dorky” tbh

Asian dude chanting “CHANG CHANG CHANG CHANG” doesn’t seem at all off to you?

Not if you speak his Changuage

Um, i get the Senor Chang schtick. Is the joke that if you put a layer of irony on top of it, it’s okay to be just a bit racist on national television?

Scratch that, I’m aware that’s the case. i’m asking if it doesn’t ring a little off to you.

I kinda dislike everything i’ve ever seen jeong in really; dude reminds me of jim carrey.

huh, it honestly didn’t occur to me that him chanting “chang” could be construed as racist — he’s been doing the puns on his name for two seasons now

xp yeah you’re right and most of their end of episode bumpers are terrible if not racist

if you’re not familiar with the show at all, an asian dude chanting CHANG CHANG CHANG CHANG to the tune of carol of the bells might be conceivably misconstrued as racist, yes.

xp end of episode bumpers s1 & s2 were incredible!

dude reminds me of jim carrey.

ty for figuring out why i dont like him

I don’t know about racist, but they have kinda ruined his character... in season one Chang was awesome, now he’s just a painfully unfunny loser caricature.

if you’re not familiar with the show at all, an asian dude chanting CHANG CHANG CHANG CHANG to the tune of carol of the bells might be conceivably misconstrued as racist, yes.

this is obviously true but chang jokes have so consistently not taken that angle that there’s no ambiguity if you’re even the slightest bit familiar with the show, so like who cares what ppl who watch parks & rec think?

and the metal i listen to is more tr00

::stares blankly at camera, glances ruefully at unrequited love interest, smirks with satisfaction at the idea that other shows bother to actually write and tell jokes for their entire timeslot instead of filling half the time with meaningful looks::

you guys aren’t seriously going to start bashing P&R in here are you? ’cause I’m not a community hater exactly but positing that P&R is inferior is nagl

P&R is ok but the only person i’m trolling is whiney, feel free to disregard

^ good post

::looks longingly at hoos and dealwithit, sighs, contemplates getting involved in a love triangle with both of them during the season finale::

p+r is so terrible, comedy for the sort of emotional cripples incapable of making small talk who still listen to the smiths in their 30s

p much

spot on

t/s: Community trolling vs. P&R trolling

Whatever happened to just not liking a show?

haha lamp basically outwhiney’d whiney there

like, that was incredible

wait i thought whiney liked p&r

::deletes long, self-loathing post abt the social types best representing fandom for various nbc sitcoms then makes ‘:/’ face for inexplicable documentary crew, commits ritual seppuku over redundant modifiers::

no, i think you should do community now

like, that was incredible

iirc an emotional cripple with absolutely terrible taste in everything

/!\ALERT /!\ THIS IS NOT A TEST ... JP LOSMAN JUST COMPLETED A PASS IN THE NFL IN 2011 ... PLEASE SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY /!\ALERT /!\

LOL WHOOPS SORRY GUYS

lol @ butthurt jon tho, peace

lol no, I’m laughing at how long he probably spent composing that thrilling piece of troll-work

prob 35 seconds idk

Is Childish Gambino still a meme or has that died?

your “i’m gonna ask really dumb questions about music and then be like ‘oh well idk music is stupid i don’t listen to it’ pose is really werd”

lolsman

y/n whiney’s anti-intellectualism plays a role in why he loathes a show about people trying to better themselves academically

oh my god—I think this image will literally cause whiney to physically disassociate into his component atoms

omg it’s happening

harsh but fair

needs a trucker hat photoshopped in

haha I actually decided against trucker hat, but had considered it

no, i think you should do community now

enh whineys basically right that the main demo for community is the sort of mildly overweight office worker dudes who think theyre so much so smarter and edgier than their coworkers cuz they love mnstrm indie rock and finished a whole palahniuk book once. like the kind of dude who wrote a ~hilarious~ and ~scathing~ rant on facebook when he found via an av club review that ppl still release music on cassette and who sneeringly calls like, decemberists fans ‘hipsters’

its still a sometimes funnie show tho, unlike p+r

whiney attacking the show on a demographic level is hilarious because the shows he DOES like are in the exact same tumblr whites demo.

which one has the best commercials

omg @ someone asking about “witch doctor” and getting aretha franklin as the answer

http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/parks+and+recreation

and finished a whole palahniuk book once.

as opposed to those real vanguards of culture who have read multiple palahniuk books?

lol

i think the suggestion is that palahniuk is avatar of a certain boringly predictable edginess, but that even that kind of edginess is a kind of edginess u can use as a marker to be all ‘hey look at me being edgy from having read haunted’

for my part i prefer palahniuk’s early work, and i also have a personal rule that any time i say that out loud i punch myself in the balls.

loooool

<3 hoos

whiney weren’t you the guy that when detlef schrempf was on p&r you thought he was a fictional basketball player? have you considered that maybe if p&r is sometimes a little bit over your head, then the reason you don’t like community might be that it’s even further over your head? nb: i’ve never watched either, just sayin.

i dunno if the references on the show are beyond whiney’s recognition, other than maybe he wouldn’t have spotted the my dinner with andre thing

‘community’ probably mentioned foucault a few times idk

ha

tbf rev you only know this bcuz detlef schrempf happens to have played ball in the PNW

i was a big nba junkie all through my childhood cuz

lol @ lamp doing whiney’s entire style better in two posts

I honest to God don’t mean this as a troll at all except for 100%, but at one point I also had a whole thing about how overly-enthusiastic appreciation of P&R and Community reflected the fundamental loathsomeness of AV Club reader/Videogum commenter/comedy podcast listener/@humblebrag follower/Louie screencap reblogger/bacon vodka infuser/Tom Scharpling music video enjoyer culture and then I got a job where they wouldn’t let me work from home every day

^ like a kiln

there’s def something about the tone sincerity of community and p&r and its fans “overly-enthusiastic appreciation” of said shows—i don’t know that it is fundamentally loathsome tho + in general my life could use a little more sincerity and little less defensive snark

Yeah, I’m just playing. Pretty much all my friends i-r-l are fuckin nerds who watch both those shows and ime furries and bronies are legit much more difficult to avoid outside the internet than the phrase “smartest show on TV” is

golf clap for BH the OTM marker

deeply happy idk even know what half the things in fartz 1st post are
