This scene encapsulates everything great about community. It’s funny, at times completely absurd in the most specific way, dark and also genuinely emotionally stirring.
That episode is also a good example of Community never estagnated as a show, because unlike many famous sticoms, it was always changing and giving us new plots, new ways of developing those plots and evolving the characters.
I thought I was the only one who thought this, Brooklyn and community are the 2 only comedic shows I love, every other show has those stupid forced jokes and that dumbass laughing soundtrack edit: y'all stop replying to this i wrote it 2 years ago
@@SammysCougar I found Jeff and Annie forced, Jeff and Britta could have worked (in a TV show), but I just rewatched the show and I actually find Annie and Abed to be a missed opportunity
Weirdly specific parts of this scene that I fucking love - when dean comes in with “yooUUU” - when the beat boxing starts (including the little high notes that sound like a toy xylophone) -the third time jesus sings “jesus loves marijuana” and hits the fuckin high note - when jesus sings “human blooooddd” - the way dean sings “gray” at the end
I legit got kinda choked up watching it, I seriously didnt know why I did but it was hands-down the most wholesome scene in the entire show in my opinion, it was just a really feel-good moment and really shows how much Troy and Abed were excited to have Annie living with them
it’s only missing the best part when jeff starts fighting the dean and the green screen switches on behind them playing clips and zooming into them at random 😭
Miles Life from what i understand, nobody knows except the producers. that excludes nick canon though who hosts the show and also produces it, since he wants to experience the surprise as well. but in every performance, the contestants give clues to their identity and judges have to guess. Only when a contestant gets eliminated will everyone know who the masked singer is.
I love how normalized it is that Jeff has a therapist. You never see this with such cocky, self absorbed characters in television. and why is the deans singing so good?!?
Unlike other characters of self absorbed, cocky trope. Jeff's past that led to him gaining the personality was brought to light for us and other characters very early on.
I'm dead serious, we need a petition to get the full version of Jeff and Craig's, "Kiss From A Rose." I'm so upset there isn't a full version already, they were SO good.
I find this scene always felt like a sequel to the Somewhere Out There montage with the main song taking over all the different situations everyone is in with the other people talking, singing, and just music playing.
@@arturocastroverde3349 considering "Somewhere out there" was the scene that defined one of the most iconic relationships in television history(YEAH I FUCKING SAID IT) I am afraid I'd have to disagree
Jeff in this karaoke is how his relationship with the dean went through the show. First absolute annoyance, next hesitation, then getting more comfortable, and ending up having fun with a good friend.
Everything in this scene is genius, the creepy hipster singing Jesus loves marijuana and drinking human blood, the karaoke that Jeff and the Dean did it, the hula dancers in Pierce’s hallucinations, and the Troy and Abed’s theater with puppets. Just genius, I never saw another tv show put awkward and weird scenes on a big scene and putting all together in a way that was perfect
I love this scene because everyone in it is just being their best selves. Britta: being defiant but not devious Shirley: ultimately understanding that good people don't have to be Christian Jeff: hating it at first then getting really into it Dean: *Dean* Pierce: high on paint and high on himself Annie, Abed, and Troy: being so wholesome I am so proud of this community. Truly.
YES. It literally takes at least three viewings to perceive all (?) of the mega-threads running through every episode and every scene, parallels and meta-narrative subtleties.
Can we talk about how divine this musical arrangement is?? The score seamlessly shiftes from the original song to Pierce's hula version (with drums and a Hawaiian vibe) to Troy and Abed beatboxing to Jesus loves marijuana. That takes some serious skills and it sounds AMAZING
Everytime I haven't seen Community for a while I'm just BLOWN AWAY by Craig Pelton's (Dean) acting chops. Just in these few shots there is SO MUCH DETAIL in his expression and body language. And despite being super quirky he manages to make the Dean a believable human character. Absolute chad.
@@refleximprov7121 You can even see that the dean has the same striped pants in an episode from season 3. I think it's the episode in which he tries to shoot a commercial for Greendale and goes bonkers. He undresses near the end, so that's when you see it, if I recall correctly.
Also remarkably similar to the cowboy outfit that the dean wears in "Community - 405 - Cooperative Escapism in Familial Relations" in season 4ep5 which he stole from Jeff from S1
The whole episode, Jeff wanted to be left alone. The problem is he was coping with his issues with the same usual things, like clothes and flirting. Then the dean comes in and gives him what he needed: no social expectations, just hanging out. No pressure to be perfect or charming.
This is hilarious and all, but the next scene where Jeff attacks the dean with all those camera zooms and the green screen going crazy is just in an all different level lol
This scene inspired my future wife and me to choose Kiss From A Rose as the song for our wedding dance. Too bad there's no full version of Jim and Joel's performance, but the original will do.
LYRICS -There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea. -You became the light on the dark side of me. -Did you know, the light that you shine can be seen? [ instrumental + Troy and Abed beatboxing ] - And now that your rose is in bloom, the light hits the gloom on the grey. - Jesus loves marijuana. Jesus loves marijuana. ( Amen! ) - ( Jesus loves marijuana ) - And drinking human blood, Oh! - Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the Craig. - Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah. - And now that your rose is in bloom, the lights hits the gloom on the grey. [ Music fades ] -ah, that was great! - Yeah it might’ve been a little fun - hah! See? And you e-mailed your therapist that you wanted to be alone this weekend. -... What? - Huh? 👁👁
I never noticed before how the dean has to occasionally look at the lyrics but Jeff knows it by heart. One of those subtle things that once you notice it makes the bit funnier.
I love how this is more or less a spiritual successor to "Somewhere Out There" from season one - a musical moment that brings together multiple storylines in a funny but genius way.
I assume it as the greatest song arrangement that was made for tv show ever. Incredibly how Dan (Harmon) makes you feel totally cringe, sad, encouraged and hilarious just in two and half minutes Really have no words to describe how much I love this tv show❤❤❤❤
It's the way the camera randomly zooms in on their faces that always gets me,
Like Batman Forever 😂😂😂😂
Yep.also makes it funny
Yep
It really sells the home video vibe.
Same 😂
the dean singing that first "yOOOOouuuu" lives rent-free in my head
1:38 gives me goosebumps idk why
yuUuuu became the light on the dark side of me
It really is the best
Agreed Aly
@@rosa-hu4kf best part ^_^
The "drinking human blood" verse had no business hitting so good
1:29 roflroflroflroflroflroflrofl when they both realize they screwed up hardcore

This is one of my favorite episodes of television ever
and then that transition to Jeff and Dean... top tier music
I also like the jesus loves Mariana
This scene encapsulates everything great about community. It’s funny, at times completely absurd in the most specific way, dark and also genuinely emotionally stirring.
You described it personally, it made me laugh so hard the first time too, but now it just makes me emotional in a good way.
The way all of it is put together is absolutely inspired.
That episode is also a good example of Community never estagnated as a show, because unlike many famous sticoms, it was always changing and giving us new plots, new ways of developing those plots and evolving the characters.
And even at its most absurd, it does everything in service of the characters and their dynamics
You can say it represents the full spectrum: from Seals teeth to Seal.
Jeff never looks at the lyrics, which means he knows this song very well
Who doesn’t know this song though?
I don't lnow the lyrics
@@samgourhan207 heathen
he sang it a thousand times in dean's mind after all
If you were at least...I don't know, 8 years old when this song debuted, you know the lyrics.
I love how Jeff hates it at first but then REALLY gets into it😂😂😂
The Dean and Jeff are both amazing singers
The dean may be a little better
Dude watch how Jeff has his eyes closed and knows the lyrics and the Dean is reading the screen ROFL
That's what Jeff ALWAYS does. Pretends to hate something at first and ends up being the one most into it
The matching outfits are a great touch.
This the cringiest comment I've ever seen
Every time I see the Dean I always think, “that man has an Oscar”.
Totally! The Descendants, right? I watched it because I liked him in Community. Man, that movie was DARK.
Devin Baird Yep. Such a good movie. It’s funny that the two most incompetent people on the show are played by an Oscar winner and a MD. Lol
As he should😌
@@devinbaird2470 I'm just responding to let you know I'm disappointed that you didn't go with "The Deanscendants"
@@afterfractures5884 Damn, I'm ashamed. 😔
That angelic "Jesus loves marijuana" part while Pierce playing is why I'm keep coming
honestly! I love the whole thing, community is amazing - but that harmony on that line with that island theme just hits!
It goes well with the whole montage but its also hilarious lol
why does it feel so...important
I wouldn't say angelic, more like Bee Gees style.
Just masterful editing and mixing
Jeff's look of unbearable pain and sadness at the start always kills me, he looks so close to crying lmao
He's lost all agency, all sovereignty, a helpless prisoner to this! It's so good!
The sadness only the face of an eastern european gay porn actor could encapsulate
This scene is like Brooklyn 99's I Want It That Way, but streets ahead.
THIS YESSSS
I thought I was the only one who thought this, Brooklyn and community are the 2 only comedic shows I love, every other show has those stupid forced jokes and that dumbass laughing soundtrack

This is my favourite Community montage. Such a classic
Pelton and Jeff harmonize very well.
Either this or “Somewhere out there”
Usually I'm a Jeff and Annie shipper, but this scene kind of made me think the Dean might have had a real shot there with Jeffrey.

-the third time jesus sings “jesus loves marijuana” and hits the fuckin high note
- when jesus sings “human blooooddd”
- the way dean sings “gray” at the end
The Amen too. Love that
The 3rd Jesus loves marijuana guts so fucking hard the high notes and the piano is just way to good
Annie wholeheartedly enjoying Abed and Troy’s puppet show is also worth mentioning!
@@divaalfirman3295 yeah thats so cute :)
I like that this implies the guy in the car was jesus
Nearly a decade on and there's still so much to unpack here
Yeah like how pierce hears the Jesus loves marijuana song is his paint dream.
His hallucinations are just streets ahead.
Amen
And it'll take another decade
1 thousandth like
Is it weird that the dean is actually a kinda good singer
Yeah I thought so too but apparently he was on Broadway!! I think rent or something like that but I have to find the recording immediately
YES i l actually looked up to see if he sings.. I would totally listen to his music if he did lol
Well, he's Moby you know!
The best one is his rap
BARACK OBAMA BE SCAAARED OF MEEE!
Oh good. It's not just me. There's something very oddly captivating about his singing voice.
1:32 "Kiss from a rose on the Craig"

Cause he's a craigular Joe 😅

When they said they wanted their Annie back... :')
Oh it's lowkey one of the sweetest moments in TV history
And Jeff crying when the boys and Annie do a show for him and Britta.
it’s only missing the best part when jeff starts fighting the dean and the green screen switches on behind them playing clips and zooming into them at random 😭
that’s my favourite part
Sorry the song is better
I don't remember that, I need to see this episode again
"JEFFRY!!!"
its literally so funny 😭😭
I want to see any of the Community cast join Masked Singer and see how long until Ken Jeong realizes it is one of them. Haha
He won’t guess them 😂 Ken never guesses his costars correctly
i dont watch masked singer but that sounds hysterical and I would totally watch it, the problem is Jim's voice is pretty distinct

@@DartzinhoV I regret to inform you that we are being trolled.
Does it exist? I'd like that too XD
The “jesus loves marijuana and drinking human blood” has to stay in though
Jeff quietly saying "...That might've been a little fun" gets me every time. It's genuinely touching.
I love that Jeff gets progressively more into it as the song goes on lmao
That's a testament to the song itself... clearly was a guilty pleasure for Jeff
Jeff in this karaoke is how his relationship with the dean went through the show. First absolute annoyance, next hesitation, then getting more comfortable, and ending up having fun with a good friend.
And then yelling at him and trying to murder him for checking his emails

There was a full week where it got stuck in my head and I would walk around the house mumbling those words, or just full on yell in the shower.

The cut from Britta and Shirley looking freaked out after the drinking human blood line back to Jeff and the dean singing is pure art
"Sorry about the mess Annie, I had some island girls over. One of them must have slipped me a mickey

I honestly would listen to the deans full cover of this song unironically
yes
I fucking love Dean Pelton. "this is gonna be fun.... or else"
One of the most chaotic shows out there and every scene is incomprehensible with context and that is why I LOVE IT
YES. It literally takes at least three viewings to perceive all (?) of the mega-threads running through every episode and every scene, parallels and meta-narrative subtleties.
I love that moment when Shirley and britta look at each other both realizing it was a mistake to pick up that guy
I just rewatched the episode and realized that the paint pierce knocks over is called hula housepaints, the attention to detail in this show damn

It's so subsurface brilliant, and insightful, and manages to be so while never letting up from the screamingly funny. What a work of art!
Jeff opens so much that he can get emotionally invested in the shadow show characters !

This is hilarious and all, but the next scene where Jeff attacks the dean with all those camera zooms and the green screen going crazy is just in an all different level lol
"This is gonna be fun! ... or else." - The greatest Dean. Jim Rash, you are a treasure.
whoever decided to use Kiss From A Rose as the song choice deserves an award.
I think the end of this song was the most positive Jeff ever felt towards the Dean, shame for him it only lasted a few seconds.
Seasons 5 and 6 had more Jeff/Dean friendship moments that were pretty fun.
They'd make the cutest strange couple. The dean has dreamed of this countless times but has to use the monitor; while Jeffrey knows the lyrics.
I love at 1:40 where you just see that jim rash can’t help but smiling for real
I wish I could experience this scene again for the first time.
I've watched more this clip than i listened to the actual song
Same
Troy and Abed's beatbox part is INSANE 🔥
jim rash's voice is so clear i could swim in it
One of the best not Abed/Troy moment of this absolute masterpiece of comedy.
This scene inspired my future wife and me to choose Kiss From A Rose as the song for our wedding dance. Too bad there's no full version of Jim and Joel's performance, but the original will do.
So you danced to a song about cocaine on your wedding? LOVED IT
The tear swiping at 1:55 is SO well done. Congrats to Jim Rash.
Another micro-detail that makes this show even more brilliant on the re-and re- and re-watching.
I love the little smile of joy he does when Jeff starts singing 😂 Like "oh yeah, this is lovely!"
Omg the dean CAN sing. His voice is so great. Hey, more of the dean singing in the movie, thanks
This is probably one of my favorite moments in community ngl
Word
Makes me so emotional everytime, in a good way. Also its the funniest shit ever.
I can't be the only one that unironically likes Jim Rash's singing

Dean is my second character after Abed. He’s is great “ Or else” 😆
He still can't match Abed
I love him. I wish you could get Dean bobbleheads.
Pierce is the goat
The "Jesus Loves Marijuana" song consistently gets stuck in my head, and as you can imagine, it's caused some problems.
"this is gonna be fun! or else" literally me trying to convince my family to watch things i like
The first time I saw this, I had Kiss from a Rose stuck in my head. I listed to that song once a day. It was rad. 😅

This whole scene is legitimately one of my top 10 favorite moments from this show.
How did Dan Harmon make Jeff seem so self-centered and selfish, yet I can't help but want to sing a duet with him?
How could anyone not love this show??
I think about this scene every other day.
Heard someone singing this at a pub karaoke and I had to go out side I almost pissed myself laughing
should ve yelll JESUUUSSSSS LOVES MARIJUANA
This is sensational television.
I still get chills when Troy starts beatboxing , idk why 😭
There are soooooo many storylines in this ep.
I love how he has a small tear that comes out at the end.
Britta’s “amen!” Is the best
I watch this from time to time it’s my comfort video
I assume it as the greatest song arrangement that was made for tv show ever.
Incredibly how Dan (Harmon) makes you feel totally cringe, sad, encouraged and hilarious just in two and half minutes
Really have no words to describe how much I love this tv show❤❤❤❤
How on earth is this one of the best songs i've heard????
I loved how absolutely bonkers this season was. It was so refreshing
This episode is 10 years old today! Still awesome.
Dean's Voice is so amazing same like the Scorpion Band Lead Singer , he will be a great singer if he tried
Niclas Lööf listen to this and tell me he can't sing like him ruclips.net/video/7DmkbVTMOtQ/видео.html
