This episode is easily one of the best in the show. It's just so good. The "Cool, cool, cool" from the virtual mini-abeds kills me every single time lmao
The final scene was supposed to be of Abed showing Pierce a changed version of the game, where Pierce's father only says positive things about him. Then Pierce would give Abed a hug and complete an arc of coming to terms with Abed. Unfortunately, the scene was never filmed because of Chevy Chase walked out during shooting. Also, the game Hawkthorne was based off of was Terraria.
@James R Except Pierce did learn a few things in the show, while Chevy quite clearly hasn't. He's always been a dick, brilliant and charismatic, but a dick nonetheless (which is partly why his movie career tanked in the 90s : he made too many enemies in the business).
I like to picture Troy off screen losing in strip poker to a bunch of virtual characters while the rest of the gang tries desperately to get Pierce's inheritance
3 years later, the population of planet earth, minus the 300-ish (being generous) supporters of your comment, are still in disbelief that you actually admitted in public that you find Britta relatable.
It's kind of weird how you guys are now putting out both Community and Parks & Rec reactions on Thursdays. Because both of these shows used to air on the same night on NBC...which was on Thursday.
@@archstanton664 Yeah...and 30 Rock. That was crazy that there was a night where all four of those shows were on. I don't know if NBC will ever pull that off again.
@@WaveGazer The Good Place and Superstore are great shows. Especially Good Place, but that Thursday slot of Office,Parks and Rec and Community was great
It's really interesting to see you realize in real-time that the episode would take place in the video game and be animated. Back when the episodes first came out, NBC & the show would put out press to hype the special episodes (paintball, KFC spaceship, stop-motion Christmas, etc.) in advance, so we never had that element of surprise.
Pearce was like many racists, spouting the propaganda of their fathers before them. After 3 years of exposure to Shirley and Troy and Abed he drops many of those walls. He still relies on ignorance to protect himself, willful ignorance is very real. Oddly, in this show they use Pearce as a great example of exposure to combat intolerance. Check out Enemy Mine for one of the best Sci-Fi examples of this technic.
Underrated episode in every season imo 1: The Science of Illusion 2: Intermediare Documentary Filmmaking 3: Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps 4: intro to knots 5: Basic Intergluteal Numismatics 6: Advanced Safety Feature
Can u guys PLEASE watch the haunting of hill house w/ a big group. I just KNOW you guys are gonna love it!! Its rlly good, if u dont believe me check the reviews.
Sooo is Abed just gonna introduce Hilda to old Mario and Sonic games? Put download her into a drone? What if he secretely made his own videogame starring Hilda and told nobody else about it?
Luc Collin The Usual Suspects still holds up, doesn't it ? Great writing, directing, editing, mudic, and acting. How has it deteriorsted ? Xmen and Superman aged poorly because they were bad to begin with. Apt Pupil probably still holds up even though they dramatically changed the ending from the original book.
Luc Collin 17 is not a child. Look up pedophile and stop using words you don't know the meaning of. Take your small brain and go back to living under your large rock. Look up "extortion" while you're at it.
No. NGE would make them a lot more depressed than even Bojack Horseman, because unlike the latter, there are no jokes. The last two episodes would also be very awkward and boring to sit through in a group reaction... because there isn't much to react to. You need to soak in the information quietly, and preferably alone.
Hey guys, while the show was up in limbo at the time, a bunch of artists made a Community Art Show in 2012. There's a short little documentary with the artists and the guy who started to create the game from this episode. I got to go to the art show and it was seriously one of the best days of my life. I hope you guys watch it, I think you would enjoy it, too. ruclips.net/video/MDL7LFosd0E/видео.html
Why Couldn't Troy, Jeff, Abed, Annie, & Britta Leave their Chairs and Then Drag Gilbert out of his Chair Thereby Forcefully making him Forfeit and Allowing Pierce to Win
surej yes, they made an actual game. to animate that would take for fucking ever. its far easier to develop a quick game than to animate 8bit for 20 min.
This was around the time the show really jumped the shark to me. The episode took a 3-minute joke and stretched it into a badly voice-acted episode and watching it is like pulling teeth.
I like how you never knew why Pierce hated Colonel Sanders in the spaceship episode until you actually meet his father.
Damn...I never made that connection!
Damn dude
I never even considered that. Your observation skills are truly streets ahead.
@@brandonadams5699 AND he didn't forget to Bear Down on midterms.
@@phousefilms dude, too soon
I always loved Britta’s speech about women being one with life juxtapositioned to Annie and Shirley taking out the entire Blacksmith family. 😂😂
This episode is easily one of the best in the show. It's just so good.
The "Cool, cool, cool" from the virtual mini-abeds kills me every single time lmao
Damn, never even realized that's what they were saying! Next time I watch it I'll have an extra dimension of funny to enjoy, thanks
Yeah, I thought they said "Goo goo goo-uh." Lol, I'm dumb.

Yeah, it was supposed to be a game of "catch" where Pierce threw a baseball at the giant Cornelius head, and it would say "good job son!"
That would have been a great ending. I don't understand why Chevy Chase refused to do it.
oh wow I just said it always reminded me of Terraria. I always played it after seeing it. That scene would have been really nice to have seen. alas.

Erik Lerström Community was the only good thing going for him career-wise and he Britta’d it.
There is a fan made game named " Journey to the center of hawkthorne "
Easily in my top 5 favorite Community episodes, probably top 3 even.
Probably my favorite. I've been waiting for them to get to this episode.
Agreed.
Love the groups reaction to the real world baby saying "Coolcoolcool!"
Honest question... Was that the baby Abed delivered a year ago?
@@Version0111 Given the consistency of the show, I’d say it is.
unbelievable. jeff bet all our lives on britta and won and i lost my pants to a pair of nines.
I like to picture Troy off screen losing in strip poker to a bunch of virtual characters while the rest of the gang tries desperately to get Pierce's inheritance
"I guess there's no hug button." Britta is the most relatable character in the history of television.
3 years later, the population of planet earth, minus the 300-ish (being generous) supporters of your comment, are still in disbelief that you actually admitted in public that you find Britta relatable.
Hahaha love Rana’s delayed reaction to figuring out Gus was in the ep 😂😂
I also like how supportive Suraj was. Generally people would have said something mean like "did you just realize that now?"
@@VivekBoseShree It's not mean when you say it to friends.
@@Jeremy-jm3fe it can be
It's kind of weird how you guys are now putting out both Community and Parks & Rec reactions on Thursdays. Because both of these shows used to air on the same night on NBC...which was on Thursday.
Those were the days. I literally watched NBC every Thursday. Community, Parks and Rec, The Office... etc.
@@archstanton664 Yeah...and 30 Rock. That was crazy that there was a night where all four of those shows were on. I don't know if NBC will ever pull that off again.
@@WaveGazer The Good Place and Superstore are great shows. Especially Good Place, but that Thursday slot of Office,Parks and Rec and Community was great
2009-13 on NBC was stellar programming. Community at 8/7, Parks and Rec at 8:30/7:30, The Office at 9/8, and 30 Rock at 9:30/8:30.

Troy and Abed shooting lava!
9:58 ,,He cleaned his glasses, he does that in Breaking Bad"
Yes, and so does everyone in the world that has glasses lol
I have glasses. Therefore, I must be in "Breaking Bad"by her standards.
Excellent.
But not after a dramatic little speech lol
This is one of the best episodes, I'm glad you liked it.
Loved this episode when it aired. Completely unexpected and brilliant all around.
It's great reliving this wonderful show with the Normies.
To this day, I still can't understand why I feel so much empathy towards Hilda.
We’re all a sucker for a damsel in distress
Anyone else notice that the legal agreement that the game tries to make Gilbert sign is the 3/5 Compromise clause of Article 1 of the Constitution?!

i did watch that movie many many years ago.....
Every time Giancarlo Esposito appears in anything, everyone has the same reaction. You cannot separate the actor from the character.
6:29 - Yes a fan turned this episode in to a real game. You can find it online.
I just did. In 2022.
Awesome.
Fun fact: nearly all of the guest stars on this show did their parts as a favor for Harmon or the Russo Brothers
This is peak community! You guys are peaking.
This ep is great. One of my favorite
da way Annie and Shirley simply going to the blacksmith escalated to a full blown home invasion is just 🤣🤦♂️
I love you guys, but whenever marketa screams I have to immediately pause and crank the volume down so I dont go deaf
Yeah, I feel like normalising the audio would go a long way with this channel's videos. Especially for the ones with Marketa in them...
honestly how do they not know she peaks the mic ALL THE TIME. Move the mic AWAY from her
Underrated episode in every season imo
1: The Science of Illusion
2: Intermediare Documentary Filmmaking
3: Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps
4: intro to knots
5: Basic Intergluteal Numismatics
6: Advanced Safety Feature
Marketa having a Shirley/Annie Aww moment at 16:37-16:40 😁
Pierce did not change. He always wanted family.
Abed's babies are saying "Cool, Cool, Cool" in baby talk
"Your Hawthorne Wipes are in another castle"
their reactions to giancarlo are gold
I love this episode 😉
Marketa's laugh is the best.
This game always reminded me of terraria. Minning village mechanincs level up magic bosses.
Can u guys PLEASE watch the haunting of hill house w/ a big group. I just KNOW you guys are gonna love it!! Its rlly good, if u dont believe me check the reviews.
This is in fact an actual game that you can get and play and it's as fun as it looks.
Me and my brother used to watch this show religiously. TROY AND AHBED IN THE MORNING! 😂❤️
Abed*
You should do a gaming vid where you play the fan made game :D
Apparently Abed's babies are saying Cool Cool Cool
Gus introduces them to a virtual world created by one of their fathers. Are we watching Breaking Bad or Hunter x Hunter now?
No one realised that it was ALWAYS hawkthorne not Hawthorne
Are you referring to the game? It’s Hawkthorne in the game but his name is Pierce Hawthorne. That’s why they were confused.
Levar Burton was a maybe.
so theoretically troy and jeff could have held gilbert out of his chair and guaranteed the win?
I wanna see you guys reacting to the fact this game exists
Sooo is Abed just gonna introduce Hilda to old Mario and Sonic games? Put download her into a drone? What if he secretely made his own videogame starring Hilda and told nobody else about it?
Next Normies Skit: 8-Bit Normies
best episode ever
My favorite episode!!
The best episode ever
Last truly great episode.
Rana.exe has stopped working.
Rebooting...Rebooting...Rebooting...
"He's from Breaking Bad!" 😂😂😂
Joe Victor Which means thry never saw The Usual Suspects, one of the greatest movies ever.
Luc Collin The Usual Suspects still holds up, doesn't it ? Great writing, directing, editing, mudic, and acting. How has it deteriorsted ? Xmen and Superman aged poorly because they were bad to begin with. Apt Pupil probably still holds up even though they dramatically changed the ending from the original book.
Luc Collin Oh I get it. You're one of those people.
Luc Collin 17 is not a child. Look up pedophile and stop using words you don't know the meaning of. Take your small brain and go back to living under your large rock. Look up "extortion" while you're at it.
IT'S AN ACTUAL GAME !!!
Top ten episode
i prefer the more homely room. now it feels like a job.
When I was younger I could never kill the animals in Minecraft either... They would squeal and it hurt my feels
The game exists now. It was created by fans!!!
6:31 yes it is I looked it up 👍🏻
you MUST see Neon Genesis Evangelion
best anime ever
No.
NGE would make them a lot more depressed than even Bojack Horseman, because unlike the latter, there are no jokes.

I love those Funkos you guys have 😳
I didn't bring my likeness! XD
I appreciate the break in the three episode chang arc, but would prob be better if this was right before svu or right after first Chang dynasty
this is an actual game
Yardmargs at Skeeper's? Yardmargs at Skeeper's?
I think it was yard-margs (yard long margheritas).
@@RocketToTheMoose Yeah, I knew that... Trying to do too many things at once... Thanks
7:13 is that marketa's character?
I know this is years later but yes there is a real game of this. I used to have it. Not sure of what the actual title was. If I find it I will update.
It’s called community journey to hawkthorn I have it on my pc I was playing it last night lol
Gilbert is Op pls nerf.
Are you going to watch the final season on yahoo?
COOL COOL COOL
React to the Legend of the Galactic Heroes - Die Neue These (2018)
Ew no, get the fuck out with that remake. The original LotGH is a thousand times better.
Abed x Hilda 😍
Is it 8 or 16 bit???...
Where is pat?
I know right! Is he ever gonna appear again?
Sweet beautiful Pat
Why are there messages that are a month old when the video has just been posted
Why Couldn't Troy, Jeff, Abed, Annie, & Britta Leave their Chairs and Then Drag Gilbert out of his Chair Thereby Forcefully making him Forfeit and Allowing Pierce to Win
did rana say eww at gay island?
varun varun probably cause it was shaped like a dick
She said ew after Pierce said that Jeff did great in there.
I've noticed Rana says eww at a lot of sex jokes
Wait, did they skip an episode? I thought they had to save the school from Chang this episode?
That'll be the next episode.
the white chick is always too loud!
surej yes, they made an actual game. to animate that would take for fucking ever. its far easier to develop a quick game than to animate 8bit for 20 min.
Marketa why are you so irresistible? Woofta.
Chris is a lucky man
never understood why this episode was so highly rated, it's a cool concept sure, but it wasn't that entertaining
This was around the time the show really jumped the shark to me. The episode took a 3-minute joke and stretched it into a badly voice-acted episode and watching it is like pulling teeth.
Yes, that episode is brilliant... but overall, season 3 is much, much weaker than season 2.
Season 3 is peak Community. Season 2 has more filler such as eastern european diplomacy, competitive wine tasting, celebrity pharmacology etc.
