Yessss... the fact that the show wants us to feel bad for thinking Annie is hot, while simultaneously making her insanely hot, is such a great joke in itself... and watching BW fall for it is *chefs kiss*
I love this episode. Annie chloroforming the janitor twice, Troy prancing over the janitor, and Abed suggesting they all pretending to be chloroformed then lying like a plank.
@@rabbitguy I loved 6! Not getting into it too much because spoilers but Elroy and Frankie are great additions and they had some of my favourite jokes of the series.
I always felt season 6's writing is on par with seasons 1-3, but it's just the overall production quality (set design, audio, etc.) that takes a significant dip and hurts the show. Writing wise, I'd say season 4 is the only inconsistent season. Some great concepts but pretty sloppy.
I love that Eric is getting more hyped for the rest of the season, but for anyone who remembers what the next episode is... well, let's hope Janci is there to whoop him into shape 🤣
I was in the throws of my young adult depression and going to college with no intentions of graduating, and community helped me see the joy in the little things in life. Just like in this episode, so many jokes get overlooked over by the first timers, i.e. the secondary characters being on the winning team (just like in the contemporary american poultry), and of course abed wearing a stethoscope to break in. Please crew of blindwave, watch the bloopers!
Some of season 2 gets pretty annoying. They did Pierce dirty with some of the storylines. I preferred when the character was offensive only inadvertently, and was mainly acting as the wiser old guy who gave advice to the other characters one on one to help them out with his life experience. The character was worse when he became mean and everyone hated him, and it hurt the show. I think my most favorite episodes are in season 3, but there are some really great episodes in season 2 as well.
Your commentary about Jeff is spot on, and why he's my favourite character in the series. You guys really seem to get the character and his struggle, which I think is a part of Community that sometimes gets overlooked or forgotten about in all the zany and ridiculous antics.
I loved when he tells Jeff that pierce ruined his and Abeds hand shake and "Now we can't get the MAGIC back" The guy is possibly the most talented human currently living. Writer on 30 Rock, wrote one of the best and most meaningful songs of the last 25 years, writes, stars, produces one of the most critically acclaimed shows of the past decade but if all he ever did was 4 seasons plus a few episodes of Community, it would be enough.
My grandparents went to AA and Al-Anon. I was raised sitting in a corner drawing pictures listening to stories/ life lessons being told ( I think they honestly thought I wasn't paying attention) No one is a better storyteller than a recovering alcoholic
8:55 _"He's a bad friend!"_ One of the many Annie Edison lines used in the intro song for the Bobby Lee and Andrew Santino podcast, Bad Friends. They've always been streets ahead.
Gas leaks aside, this is the quality of the show (I'd include season 1 in that level of quality). I'm even a weirdo who thinks season 5 is the show's best and season 6 is far better than it has any right to be after so many years and whatnot. It's so good. I miss watching this show live.
@@dragontears I don't dislike the gas leak year nearly as much as most people. It is the weakest season, though. It still has great moments. A couple really solid episodes.
Early season 5 is great. It kind of falters a little but it's solid and better than 4. Season 6 is really underrated imo, I'd put it up there with 2 and 3 as the best half of the series. Season 4 is the weakest season, but the weakest season of Community is still pretty damn good.
Season 5 and 6 are just really different. Too much has changed. A lot of the magic is gone because some of those pairings no longer exist. Still, they did a pretty good job with what they had.
Off topic but have you guys ever done a Q&A about yourselves? I’ve been watching you for years and I realized I don’t even know how long you’ve all been friends or when you met.
it's pretty solidly this up until season 4. Dan Harmon got fired after Season 3, so season 4 is rough with a few golden patches written by Jim Rash. Harmon comes back in season 5 and I personally think it's low points are on par with this season's low points and it's high points are unbelievable
I believe that chloroform generally lasts for as long as you keep applying it, at least when used in small doses (like on a rag). Once you stop inhaling it, you'll wake up in maybe 5 minutes.
You can expect this level of quality to continue through Season 3. Arguably, Season 2 might be the best of the series, but it's a toss-up with Season 3. The magic and charm of the show fades over time starting with Season 4, which was not written by Dan Harmon. (Personally, I didn't find 4 to be nearly so bad as other Community fans, just not quite at the level of seasons 1-3, and the momentum of the show shifted down and never fully recovered.) The latter seasons suffer from impending threats of the show's cancellation, and particularly from the resulting departure of a few of the main actors, which changed the vibe and of the show. That said I find Harmon's writing and stories to be consistently good, and all six seasons contain stand-out episodes that IMO make it worth watching the series to the end. This is one of the most witty, creative, funny sitcoms to ever hit television.
Jeff is also a little bit based on Harmon's best friend, Jeff Davis, who you can also enjoy on Whose Line. Plus, he shares his name with the Teen Wolf creator and often got harassed by its fans.
I didn't see it mentioned in the comments, but another small little tidbit from the chloroform scene, if you go back and watch when troy is running around, Annie accidentally chloroforms herself! 😂 Priceless reaction 🤣 obviously a year later, but somebody might see the comment and brighten their day.
After so many years of watching this show, I think I now know why Pierce cries and mentions his father and hair.. Don't want to spoil anything for season 3!
@6:36 You see Eric!? Can you see now why the whole _"Annie's pretty young. We try not to sexualize her."_ is obviously not true in the show? *_That's the joke!_* *COMMUNITY* own inside joke. xD @7:46 @8:11 @9:02 Hell yeah! Annie for the win! ❤ She's the best, and a 🔥 *_BADDASS!_* 🔥
The show gets better and better throughout season 2 and 3, then there's the gas leak year after the network got rid of Dan Harmon. But then he's back for season 5 which features my personal favorite episode Basic Intergluteal Numismatics. Which has, among other things, the funniest scenes with Garrett, Vicki crying out in dismay, "I got CRACKED!", and A fantastic song written and performed by Ben Folds.
6:37 Remember the episode Jack Black was on when Jeff said they try not to sexualize Annie? And then when Annie said in season 1 of episode 5 that her mom said she had “no boobs”? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now we see that she is not just the smartest but also the most beautiful person on this show. Also Rob Cordry is freaking HILARIOUS in this show.
Well Eric, you’re in for a treat my dude. I don’t even consider this a good episode compared to others in season 2. I like it and as a Jeff Stan I think it’s super important for his character. But it’s definitely not even top 10 for season 2.
The fact that the Annie part got them all is hilarious to me and shows how good the humour in the show is
Yessss... the fact that the show wants us to feel bad for thinking Annie is hot, while simultaneously making her insanely hot, is such a great joke in itself... and watching BW fall for it is *chefs kiss*
Tbf that's top-tier bait and distraction
What was that about Annie’s parts?
Wait until they get to the one Christmas episode…
@@Mark-xx3gh eric is gonna go nuts
I love this episode. Annie chloroforming the janitor twice, Troy prancing over the janitor, and Abed suggesting they all pretending to be chloroformed then lying like a plank.
Eric, you should be scared lol. The story of Benjamin Franklin Chang goes to places you can't even dream of, my man
Yes Eric, this will be the quality of the rest of the show. I'm so glad you guys are loving this show!
maybe not the rest of the show. mostly season 2, 3, 5, and some of 4.
@@rabbitguy I loved 6! Not getting into it too much because spoilers but Elroy and Frankie are great additions and they had some of my favourite jokes of the series.
@@paulvanwilders they will Love Elroy, I'm already sure
@@paulvanwilders I'd argue that Frankie's stupid speech and hope speech are some of the best in the show.

Troy-Abed-Annie is the best trio. Love that chloroform scene (and the fact that it's one of the cast's fave too!)
Eric: “She got me.”
I just cracked so hard 😂
two important things to note here, Troys unending childlike curiosity, Annies ability to turn her ruthlessness up to 11/10
The fact that there are like 15 episodes this season better than this one really bodes well for their enjoyment of it...
I thought fifteen seemed like exaggeration but just looked at the episode list and it checks out.
@@BanyanTree1 Theres many a and s tier episodes in s2 and s3
Never noticed the 'pop' from Drew Carey's hand shake. 😂
I like the timestamps
“Will this continue at this quality ?”
No. It gets better.
until season 4
@@Luke-cu7bf Yeah. But then it gets better again.
@@Luke-cu7bf In my opinoin season 4 is pretty good, season 5 is fanastic, and season 6 is great. It's community, and it's all worth watching
I feel like Eric was IN this episode.
Great reaction.
Troy, Abed and Annie are my favorite trio in the show and this episode has some of my favorite moments between the three of them.
I love that Eric is getting more hyped for the rest of the season, but for anyone who remembers what the next episode is... well, let's hope Janci is there to whoop him into shape 🤣
aww eric i promise it doesn’t have a whole lot to do with being a dude i also had a problem hearing what annie had to say in that scene😭
To this day I only hear the word 'suck'
Eric is going to die when the Christmas scene with Annie comes 😂
😮😳🥵😵💞

I'm glad that community tackled the oft ignored it issue of chloroform addiction. Also the sensitive matter of that weird hole in Drew Carey's hand.
Can't wait for them to see Cooperative Calligraphy
The whole chloroform scene is a masterpiece. 🖼
I love Eric's resigned delivery of "Hit'em again..."
I had to go back and take a peek at the season 2 episodes and man did I forgot how incredible this season really is. So excited for their journey haha
It's a close call between 2 and 3 for the best, but I think it might be 2.

You'll laugh even harder looking back when you ACTUALLY see Peirce father's hair 😂🐘
Its the only way to preserve follicular purity while still presenting yourself as a man of means
I don't know if it's new, but I love the chapters for the discussion. I've never noticed it before.
It's each characters' personalities and how they work with each other that really hooks me into the show.
Annie is chilling sometimes with how ruthless she can be…
*Annie Edison:* _"Mornin' boys. I'm Annie Edison, but people call me _*_'Psycho'_*_ because I had a nervous breakdown in high school."_
Also, love the details for the discussion on the seek bar. Great job, editor.
You will come to learn that Troy freaking out is one of the funniest things ever.

ofc it continues. 6 seasons and a zoom table read!!
6 Seasons and they're planning a movie.
Now i want Blind Wave to react to the zoom table read too. "Here's your sperm!" 🤣
I just noticed the popping sound it makes when Jeff & Drew Carrey shake hands… hilarious.

The Choreiform gag is one of my favorites in the series. Cracks me up
Man i hope they're gonna watch the Good place someday
Off topic but have you guys ever done a Q&A about yourselves? I’ve been watching you for years and I realized I don’t even know how long you’ve all been friends or when you met.
That end button is one of my favourites in the whole show. SO good. Poor Troy.
I'm from Cleveland. Eric told no lies about the craziness that goes on here.
Only two weeks away! Eric needs to wear his Greendale flag shirt! 🙏🏼
I tried to see their reaction to Annie but every time I can't take my eyes off Annie 🤣
These reactions are so much fun
I knew early on that Eric was going to really like this show, more than the others. It's take a little while, but now he's really getting it.
I never knew it was drew carey before blindwave pointed it out
Season 2 is all this quality of episodes and season 3 hits those same high notes as well, can't wait to see you guys react to the rest of community
6:36 Troy, Abed, BlindWave and YOU did the same
FYI there's one episode this season that is only available on Amazon Prime Video.
They know
The hole in Drew's hand was a meta reference to his weight loss
Guys if you’re watching the series on Netflix you’re gonna miss out on the dnd episode and it’s one of their best ones worth the watch.
it's pretty solidly this up until season 4. Dan Harmon got fired after Season 3, so season 4 is rough with a few golden patches written by Jim Rash. Harmon comes back in season 5 and I personally think it's low points are on par with this season's low points and it's high points are unbelievable
mmm... sexualized Annie FTW. :p Troy's freakout is great and Abed's ploy was genius. And the tag to top it off! Genius.
Another favorite. This episode has so many good lines and bits.
This episode is comedy gold so many lines I can never forget.
I believe that chloroform generally lasts for as long as you keep applying it, at least when used in small doses (like on a rag). Once you stop inhaling it, you'll wake up in maybe 5 minutes.
This truly is later Chang's origin story
Troy and Abed are the standouts of the main ensemble, but come ON you cannot deny that the Dean steals every scene he's in.
I love Deans ridiculous outfits. Great running gag
Was waiting for this ha!

The chloroform bit is one of the best of the whole series.
Have you watched the gag reels for S1? They are great.
thata one of the best community episodes in my opinion its just so great
Are you guys gonna do The Good Place because the reaction would be most beautiful? Btw, love you all but Aaron is me favourite
6:36 She still had it in season 2 I tell you! 🍊🍊🔥
Then it's kinda all downhill from s3 😭 Enjoy her now

Drew Carey is more famous for The Drew Carey show and being a comedian, than Who’s Line.
One of the best episodes of the season, and the fact it’s only gonna get better is insane!!! I’m so glad you guys are enjoying the show!!!
My hand hole theory is that he got stabbed with an apple corer, and he asked them to stitch it up inside, so it looks like a donut.

Yeah, this is more or less the quality of the show, at least for seasons 2 and 3, it's consistently great
Didn't know Calvin was a good basketball player! Not bad for a homeschooled kid ;p
This season is consistently great. 2 and 3 are the best, and I'd honestly place 1, 5 and 6 as good but not great while 4 just gets last place.
I would love to hear a list of Star Wars thing Erik hates or at least strongly dislikes

If you all knew me in life, I’ve frequently said that you can’t chloroform your problems away. I now stand corrected… thank you, Annie
And people make fun of Superman for using glasses as a disguise XD
I nearly stopped watching after seeing Calvin’s skills, it can’t be topped! 😉 haha
It never occured to me that they actually pretended I always assumed they actually chloroformed each other.
Will they be able to watch Advanced D&D because they HAVE TO
