Community 2x14 - "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons" ITS FINALLY HERE! 

oh shit I didn't see this at all! I'm so sorry to hear all that, you two seemed so close

may I ask why you two are separating?

@@theawesomeman9821 watch her videos about it. named 'going our separate ways' and 'my last response'.

Charlie Koontz is the actor. I went to HS with him, he’s a cool dude.

His small role in one episode of The Boys was amazing too, one of the darkest scenes in an already pretty dark show

fat neill was in the boys. sadly his participation was very very small.

Ah she should have done it when they were doing table reads for COVID. I wanna see that someday.

According to Danny Pudi, it was hilariously filthy, just over the top graphic.

Was ok. Liked the simplicity of the instructions

The blooper for this also has her tapping morse code on the elf maiden's clit*ris lmao

RELEASE THE #BRIECUT !

It’s one of those things where like, literally hardly anybody besides maybe some terminally online people were actually offended by it. BLM wasn’t going out in the streets because of some Community episode, lmao. It’s just like Netflix and corporations and stuff trying to pander and make themselves seem “woke” not out of ideology or principal, but to make money. But yes, as a DnD nerd, I absolutely love this episode

but he was wearing black face...... to role play a race of literal black skinned people now brown skinned humans. seems like a legit reason to me.... because the world is fricken crazy today

It's possible that if you tried, you could maybe find a handful of people who were offended by Chang in his dark elf makeup, but I personally never heard about it generating any kind of outcry, so I'm not sure you could say that the episode was "cancelled" in the usual sense. It seemed more like streaming services acted out of an overabundance of caution rather than in response to actual complaints. Putting a simple disclaimer up before the episode would have probably been more than sufficient.

Have you guys watched a video posted by the maker of gravity falls dealing with standard and practices? Not exactly the same but its funny the reasons why certain scripts get revised or outright taken out.

@@rocketdave719 yeah cancelled might've not quite been the right word.

It s huger(!?) When you know he s a avid dnd player , if i remember correctly

i agree with your assessment of this being chevy chases best work(this episode), and i think his best single line delivery was in the debate episode when he tells britta "how DARE you pity me?!" i disagree about the whole "black face" thing. snowflakes caused the episode to be canceled. dark elves are not black humans, but the whole concept of "black face" is ridiculous. robert downey jr played a role completely in blackface in tropic thunder, and it was awesome. dave chappel did a character in "white face" and it was also awesome. it's ridiculous to choose to feel offended(offense is ALWAYS taken, never given) because someone wore some makeup that makes their skin tone seem a different one than their natural skin tone. but the people of usakistan are retarded.....

They tried. It just wasn’t sustainable. They were routinely doing 14+ hour shoots on that show and Chevy just didn’t want to be there. Joel has explained the whole situation on a bunch of podcasts.

its obvious how important EVERYONE is to make this group work. you see the group feeling off when Chevy left. and then went to hell when Donald left too.

@@LtFrankDrebin100 The question to ask is why were they doing 14+ hour shoots and why wasn't anyone pointing out how inhumane that is? Look, I know that Chevy Chase had other issues, and I don't want to make stuff up which I haven't adequately researched, but I've heard stories about racism (irl, not just Pierce). But this thing about the super long shoots and Chevy Chase not wanting to do them: good for him. The other actors should have presented a united front and told Harmon they all weren't going to do it. Honestly, the more I hear about Harmon's behaviour on set and in the background, the less I think of him.

I don't get how I just now realized this after how many times I've seen this episode!

I would give anything to be able to go back and experience _Community_ for the first time.

i had watched episodes of community randomly on late night tv back in like 2013 but it wasnt that many but i knew i thought the show was gold so one time when i was on a trip and my friends and i went into a shop i saw the dvd for season 2 on sale and i felt i had to buy it so i could finally just sit down and watch it and starting from season 2 i think was perfect because it really is the peak of community, each and every episode is hilarious and it being so funny made me buy the rest of the seasons. i think i have rewatched all of community not even joking about 150 times and im really not joking about that, this is hands down one of my all time favourite tv shows and i would give both my arms and legs to experience it for the first time again haha

I watched Community at the end of December 2021. I remember this becuase I was sick from Covid so this is what I would watch since my sister recommended me this show

The hardest part is getting started. My friends and I all want to play but we need a good DM who can kinda hold our hands for a bit while we figure out the basics.

More Creative power to Dan Harmon.

dnd isnt for everyone.

Can you explain what happened to them?

@@Sai.54x I mean it's not really my place to regurgitate what happened. I would not do it justice as of this very second I could not accurately repeat from memory the details. She made I think 2 videos on the matter about 3 months ago so just search on the video timeline so you can get caught up. I think frequent watchers knew at some point this would probably happen but I think we are all glad it happened the way it did.

Hulu took it off too

@@ericv5435 fyi, Netflix also edited the episodes down. I think Amazon Video has the original length episodes. A few extra few seconds, here and there.

good thing it's available free of charge in certain websites, without censorship.

this and the paintball episode

It’s definitely in the top five episodes. The show was definitely intentionally courting controversy, following in the fooshtepshs of Blazing Saddles and Tropic Thunder. The biggest difference is 1) that those were movies and Community was a broadcast TV show. 2) Another difference: The main target of Blazing Saddles’ satire was racism. Tropic Thunder was parodying what was a common practice of casting white actors in non-white roles. It’s not clear to me exactly what Community was parodying with Chang’s blackface. Were they trying to provoke the easily provoked into a gotcha? That’s one possible reading. But then Pierce has the Al Jolson line-he sees it as blackface. The joke is hard to parse (which personally, I love about it) and the target of the satire isn’t clear. Is it people who assume that Drowface is blackface? The easily offended? Those people easily outraged by people who get offended? To me, it’s ambiguous. And that’s the difficulty. Primetime Broadcast TV serves the lowest common denominator and generally tries not to cause offense. An ambiguous racial joke that doesn’t spell out what the audience is supposed to laugh at is kryptonite to TV executives. That’s just how is. I think the idea to pull the episode was the wrong decision, but I understand why Sony did it.

They were trying to appease to black people as much as possible after George Floyd died

@@ericv5435 I don't think it's that simple, but yes, there was an overreaction by companies

I've watched the entire series several times and never did I think that it looked like he was doing blackface or anything like that, nothing about the make-up he was wearing gave off a vibe that they were trying to be racist at all, it's sad that they made a decision that noone asked for and noone was happy about lol.

I didn’t find it offensive, either. But then I’m neither a Drow or an African-American. If someone does find it offensive, I’m not going to tell them they’re wrong (or worse, try to convince them their wrong). It doesn’t mean that they’re overly sensitive or easily offended. It just means that they have a different opinion and/or have a different sense of humor. Ultimately, it’s not up to me to say who should not be offended by the drowface joke.

Not the full one but they've released parts of the unmuted stuff in the bloopers

And this is why I just smirk when people give me guff for having the physical media, cuz "you can just stream it"; guess who's got all the (complete) episodes now, Billy?

Well it was portrayed as wrong, Pierce was the villain in the end, so I don't see the problem. It's a hard scene but It conveys a good message in the end.

it wasnt "problematic" it was driving the plot......damn snowflakes.

I guess it's problematic if you're of the opinion that any depiction of any problematic behavior is in itself problematic. None of the characters were laughing at the bullying and fat shaming, they were all horrified by it.

my favorite episode of his, he's an expert at the game and was playing his character, the evil guy and roleplaying it to the point everyone was hating him, and that is what his character was suppose to be. Dan was always mad that he was planning on making Pierce and Neil D&D player friends in future episodes but never panned out that idea and just left the episode ending with "maybe".

that scene is so unforgettable though lol

I don't think Dan pulled it. I think it was Netflix

the snowflakes are everywhere in usakistan.

It was removed from Netflix and Hulu in 2020 during the George Floyd protests because of Chang's blackface (even though the show in no way endorses his blackface).

Content warning?? This episode is pretty tame compared to some of the stuff on streaming services. There are lots of shows that show graphic sex and violence but they don't get taken off the services.

Andrew Smith I’m just saying it would be a better alternative to removing it from streaming

@@MythicalSkull13 Oh for sure I agree with that. Censorship is never a good solution.

All censorship is wrong. I noticed those supporting censorship are the most vile bigots, saying you are glad Irish kids were killed. Just save your BS, bigot.
