Chang’s outfit is Cobra Kai from The Karate Kid and Duncan’s backstory about the twin is from Jack Kirby’s Kobra series for DC. So they are both the wrong Cobra and don’t totally belong. The insane level of thought and detail in this show is 2nd to none.
@@gerardmeadows9283 i think they change what they had in mind for Annie's love interest after the debate episode. I still find it really gross, though. Not so much for the age gap, but for the fact that Annie was basically still a teenager while Jeff was a grown man who went after every sexy woman that showed up
@@ImamSyafii-st4ps paying? You really think he had to pay to make a full episode that is literally a giant advertisement for GI Joe? At the very best for Hasbro they haven't paid basically anything and just gave away the rights (considering it's a dead brand) but usually for things like this it's the maker that pays a LOT to be seen.
"I keep having these visions. Kids... little boys..." "Uh, are these visions we should share with the authorities?" It took me way too long to get that joke.

@@maxminton7861 We used to rule the AV Club comments section back in the day! We were pretty nuts. It's great to see so many people getting into the show so many years later! Community is something special.

Duncan - 'Now before you fight me GI Joe you should be warned, I Zim Zam have a twin brother named Mix Max that feels all my pain'. Annie - And how is that supposed to affect us? Duncan - Psycho...logically
Duncan is supposed to resemble one of the Crimson Twins, and that bit where the twins feel each other's pain, that's canon, very first episode GI Joe in fact.
From a real-world standpoint it makes sense since Donald glover only signed on for however many episodes that season (troy’s joke about it is some great meta humor), and Chevy chase only did the one scene at the start, but from an in universe perspective I agree. If he can imagine that he’s in an 80s cartoon he can imagine that Troy and pierce are with him.
John Oliver from Last Week Tonight. He worked at Community even before that show. He appears as Professor Duncan in S01 and some episodes from later seasons (mainly S05).
@@LightningRaven42 Thank you very much. I only ever heard the voice on the "buy the BBC America channel" ad intro on my _Doctor Who_ Series 3 box set, which he narrates, so I didn't have a face to put with the voice.

Well, he is dressed like Tomax and Xamot, but only one of the twins being IS from Kobra
Man,did Jack Kirby ever sleep? What didn't he make?
Is the second twin an waiter in Jack Kirby's Kobra series?
Within context, Chang should be Storm Shadow, but he looks more like Quick Kick, and as you pointed out, is wearing a gi from Cobra Kai.
@@Sirlanceloth1 well, Tomax and Xamot also did feel each other's pain
Jeff went a long way from "Annie's young, we try not to sexualise her" to turning her into a cartoon sex symbol in his coma fever dream
Granted, she was only eighteen when he said that and she's 23 here.
Still kinda gross.
@@theguywhomakespopculturere574 Always weird reading these comments knowing my parents are 17 years apart which is a year more than Jeff and Annie...
I always thought Jeff said that because he's protective of his Annie and doesn't like when anyone tries to notice her in that way

@@matiasleon9657 Annie was attracted to older men. From Jeff to Von to Doc Potterwood.
When Community does more with the GI Joe franchise in one episode than Hasbro did in the last half decade
genuinely curious how much harmon had to pay to get the license for this episode, cant be cheap for tv budget
You gotta be mean?
idk there was a series called renegades that i remember being pretty lit

“It shredded my miniscus” i like how changs actor sprinkled his medical knowlege into that bit
Lucky it wasn't his coccyx.
Lucky it wasn't his coccyx.
1:05 to 1:20 is probably one of the most underrated gags in all of community. It's so ridiculous, insane and yet so perfect.
WONDERFUL!
I completely forgot Duncan was in this episode so remembering made my day.
Phoebe Clark and knowing is half the battle!
XIMXAM
Really his part in The episode was my favorite
Overkill with the Ken Jeong-esque self-diagnosis: IT SHREDDED MY MENISCUS!!!
He is a doctor
@@BenKim16 ... Thanks, Kimptain Obvious.
yeah what a doctor moment, he used the word meniscus!!!
"I keep having these visions. Kids... little boys..."

Gas leak season?
@@oscarfoley511 season 4
We were here. We were validated. That’s all we can do for now
Man, I’m happy that I found it just recently. But there’s a certain special feeling when you’re with a show from beginning to end.

Annie - And how is that supposed to affect us?
Duncan - Psycho...logically
That flash of reality at 0:27
NICE! Thanks for the perfect timestamp
That shit freaks me out
Fun fact there is an actual GI Joe character named Overkill but he's a cyborg who was a cobra machine gunner who killed six Joe's
Exclusive acrion figures:
BestFriend(Troy)
Hawk-Throne(Pierce)
Buff John Oliver is just the dumbest thing I have ever seen that I love.
Still waiting for Hasbro to make these figures
Not until they fix Three Kids and her children.
Hey G.I. Joe fans how do you feel knowing this is the best piece of G.I. Joe media since Resolute lol
Missed opportunity to have the Dean dressed as the Baroness in this.
I just realized that Chang/Overkill is dressed just like a member of the Cobra Kai dojo!
Duncan is supposed to resemble one of the Crimson Twins, and that bit where the twins feel each other's pain, that's canon, very first episode GI Joe in fact.
The twins weren't in the first episode.
We may be watching two different GI Joe shows
I forgot Hickey's character is called Major Dick.
"...if you miss it, you let the anti-terrorists win." lol
Watching this episode felt like having a panic attack.
I couldn't have described it better
@@soulsemblance3163 The first time I saw this episode I was having a panic attack, and watching this sure didn't help
Didn’t this guy also do the voice for He-Man commercials? Fourth Wall, you’re such an Abed
Guys, his name is Xim Xam not Zim Zam, because his twin brother just has his name backwards, Mix Max.
1:35 is that the actor who played Mike in Breaking Bad?
Yes, in Season 5 he played a teacher. (They added him as a new cast member because Pierce and Troy were gone.)
jup, that's the one and only Jonathan Banks
Don’t forget he’s also Mike in better call Saul
He’s also credited as Mike in IMDB!
Lol the action figures of Shirley's kids look like grown men cut off at the knee
I wish Donald Glover was in this episode
me too man.....me too
What would be his per-Joe-na anyway? A guy with skeleton armor named "T-Bone"? A dancer with web-shooters called "Disco Spider"?
nah. I'm glad he left. Troy's cartoonishness was taking over the show.
What is everyone’s preoccupation with this Troy fellow?
@@frankmills6226Maybe he’s a guy who throws coins at his foes and his title is “Quarter Back?”
The Darkest Timeline with Ken Jeong & Joel McHale
Watch their latest episode on YT where the cast reunite.
This episode would've been much better if troy and pierce were in it.
"Troy and Abed fighting Coooobra!"

Troy’s Codename: Butt Soup Quarterback
Pierce’s Codename: Old Hawk-Thorne
@@shameekgrimes1921 that's perfect
There's a note from Pierce on Jeff's desk later on in the episode. At least they were thinking about it.
0:27 you can see the study group looking at Jeff if you slow down enough
Poor Mix Max :(
nice BB reference withJonathan Banks complaining about hazard pay
"I want to go to this Greendale place now."
The epic randomness is what makes community the greatest show
I NEED MORE OF THIS INCREDIBLE AWESOMENESS!!!
- It's like cartoon crack for my eyes!-
Yo did you know there’s a Community reunion today?
There might be a movie too
Watch it!! I had the dumbest smile the whole time. I’ve watched it way to many times already.
No, that was yesterday.
in this universe, revolvers have magazines and fire lasers ...
Yo Joe !
I actually kind of want those GI community figures
I just realized that Chang’s power was a joke about how all Asians look the same
Maybe also a reference to his constantly-changing personality?
Innocence not included. Comes with Reversible Ethics.
Who voices "Zim Zam"? I've heard that voice before.
John Oliver from Last Week Tonight. He worked at Community even before that show. He appears as Professor Duncan in S01 and some episodes from later seasons (mainly S05).

I wouldn't mind docking in tight ship's harbour.
1:40 Quick question: What the hell is John Oliver doing here?
he was in 3 seasons of community
Why the hell not?!?
Poor mix max he was just working at his job at a cafe! 🎂
I think it’s a restaurant
Fourth wall: *breaks the fourth wall
Deadpool: “Hey! That’s my thing!”
Pinkie Pie: Hi there
You are an idiot.
How about fuck Deadpool
Mu head canon is that the Cobra you pay into to keep health insurance when you lose a job is the Cobra from G. I. Joe.
Could you do a clip from Advanced Advanced DND
love the FAL though
Can we get the tight ship action figure?
Did collegehumor channel made this???
It shredded my meniscus!
I was really hoping the Cobra member in the gi was Miguel.
Saw what you did there
I love the 1:05 and 1:18
I wish they made the gi joe community figures.
Poor overkill and mixmax 😭
3:03 LMFAO
I'd buy the set of action figures.
2:19 Chang's scene
Beste Serie ever
“What do you mean you people? Oh nice”
His face at 3:04
I kinda want wingman with the FAL.
Came here to recover after watching the trailer for the Snake Eye.
This is funny to watch
"So is there a Mr. TightShip?"
Futurama!
It would have been more authentic if they had stolen the Cobra Uniforms.
Poor overkill Zim zam
Still better than the Snake Eyes movie
THERE’S A SNAKE EYES MOVIE?!!
Seriously the whole twin feel what i feel thing was a major weakness in the original series.
Why is the intro nightcore?
Tomax & Xander
hey~ it's not the study group 😂 it's the save greendale committee 😉
Yo, Jobra!!
Wasn't this s4?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN “YOU PEOPLE!?”
We need modern espionage
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why does it look so cheap the original Gijoe cartoon was actually pretty well animated
Could you buy the toys
Nothing is happening.
What does 🥕 carrot pureaa taste like?
Only episode I skipped. Lol
🤣
WTF?! 😄😄😄
Why is tight ship rack showing that is inappropriate 😡🤬
The worst episode.
This episode was hilarious, one of my favorites
....said no one with a brain.
Not even close
