Community: The Art Of Genre Filmmaking (Introduction to Video Essay Making) 

Ur voice is sexy

"You'll have to excuse my partner. He's been on edge since we've switched." Is the FUNNIEST line of the entire series.

They don't make parodies they make homages

Stopped being a family, and became a family... in italics. Always makes me laugh

The great thing about these homage episodes aren't homages just for a gimmick. They facilitate one of several things: Character relationship growth and/or analysis, character growth/analysis, and characterization.

"Need I remind you this is not a courtroom" is probably one of my favourite jokes from the entire show, something about it hits super well

Community is home to everyone. “You’re already accepted.”

Rip Advanced Dungeons & Dragons

I love the homages and parodies because they take the subject really serious and actually do a good job of pleasing the fan base of the subject, like dnd or law and order etc.

SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE

“You’re gonna die you little fuckinf bastards!” *freeze frames like found footage of Big Foot* “part pillow, part man” never seizes to make me fucking cackle. Brilliant

Six seasons and a movie!

Such an underrated show

If you were a food, you'd be a chicken finger. Good video

Well, the russo's brothers being hired in the mcu for their work in community is more a fact than a thought.

This video is streets ahead

Great explanation of why Community is the best show ever. This is what I try to say when I explain to people what's so great about it, but this video does it way more articulately. I'll definitely be showing this to people I'm introducing to the show!

Really great take on Community, and great points about the genre filmmaking in the Office/Brooklyn 99!

the asscrack bandit episode is absolute gold and I cannot forgive you for not including it in this video

I keep finding more and more ways to fall in love with Community :)

I was surprised to see no follow up video yet because of how well executed this one is, I’ve never seen someone put all these insights together in an analysis video so well. Thank you so much for this

“I’m sorry about my partner. He’s been on edge ever since we switched” is by are one of my favourite lines from this show

Community is the only show that ever had a shoe Halloween special and it's still cannon

I’m rewatching community, still holds up

Six seasons and a movie 😌

I dont think there will ever be a more amazing block of comedies than Community, The Office, 30 Rock and Parks and Rec back to back.

“it has everything, star wars, western, parallel universe” i just realize this show is a burger slice of life, no wonder i love it so much

yooo why has nobody seen this? it's very good??? (referring to the video not the show, although it applies to the show too)

community is so meta that it makes meta meta and i will stand by that for the rest of my life

Im genuinely confused why this video doesn't have more appreciation this was so obviously thought out and took a long time to make, either way its awesome

nice to see more community video essay, please do more.

holy cow that 2009 flashback made me nostalgic. I never liked that song but all the scene kids would listen to it at my school.

This deserves more views.

Great video! Community is still one of my all time favourite shows! I think my one small issue with it is I always feel like I've got to explain to people unfamiliar with the show to give it a chance, because imo early s1 has it's moments, but is relatively formulaic in it's sitcom genre. It plays a bit with tropes and homages early on, but doesn't really start to embrace all that until really late into s1. When I first ever watched the show, I wasn't really captured by it until the chicken fingers episode, which I think was the major turning point for the series as a whole. I think rewatching early s1 you can pick up a bit better on the parodies they were going for, but when watching it passively for the first time I don't think it's necessarily obvious they're there until chicken fingers mafia movie slaps you in the face. I've *still* got a fair few friends who said they tried watching it and couldn't get into it, but never got past mid-way s1, then I have to be that annoying person who's like "it gets better I swear!".

Great video this is possibly my favorite show ever

great vid! underated channel fo sho

That 8-bit Daybreak is my ringtone, so I got very confused when it starts playing as a part of your video...

So glad this randomly popped up in recommended. amazing 10/10

Im in season 3 of community and I swear this show is something else. Love Troy, Abed, Pierce and Dean

Well. You created something fantastic with this video! Love it and nailed it!

This was an amazing video. This show is always on my TV.

six seasons and a movie

10:14 I can’t help but notice that Todd’s lawyer doesn’t raise his hand to object to Todd being a virgin…

great analysis!

the only genre that i was sad wasnt made an homage by community was 70s-90s bad horror movies. the oppurtunity would've been perfect if for a Halloween episode, pierce got intoxicated or started seeing hallucinations because of his pills and tried to kill everyone, it would've been a perfect opportunity to give homage to classics like the halloween series, or the friday the 13th series, etc.

Wait how do you only have 400 subs ur content is pog.

2:43 wow I never realized how great/hilarious/dumb this quote is

Great video, I loved your analysis of one of the best qualities of this show. Keep going

This is great! This video deserves more views. Just a tip it’s worth putting an epileptic warning cos of some of the clips have flashing lights.

The Traveling Wilburys of Pain

Love the show and loved your video. I don't know if anyone else said that but the Modern Warfare episode was directed by Justin Lin and the Russo's did the other two paintballs among half of the first two seasons.

Great video man

Surprised you don’t have more subscribers, great video and great channel

This guy heard a teacher tell him to annunciate one time and engraved the idea in his soul

This video was great! I'm hoping it'll encourage my boyfriend enough to watch it :)

Basic Lupine Urology is top 5 for me

Great video, a worthy analysis for a great show! Whats that second to last song you used around 21:00?

Revenge of the fallen.

What episode is that at 17:18??????? I seriously do not remember

Digital estate planning felt too self-indulgent for me, season 3 was very hit or miss

I hope they never make a movie so we can always look forward to the movie. If they make a movie that'll be it and the journey will be over for good....

Enjoyable vid, but the audio levels seem a bit off. Is it just me?

Why is Olivia Munn in the NBC line up? What show was she on?

Alchemax stop trying to coin the phrase streets ahead!

So? The Simpsons, South Park or Spaced doing this before Community.

Yooo

Nice, you cover some important talking points in the video production space! We are interested what you do, don't stop. Anytime you are in Phoenix let us know. If you'd like, direct message us @dmakproductions on Instagram and we can connect. You kill it!

I don't think a show should be criticized for making offensive jokes, nor should it be seen as a flaw. Offensive jokes work as long as everyone race is being joked upon. Abed Nadir says it best: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MBP61oXYGgY.html

Modern Warfare was better than all superhero movies combined

The Russo’s didn’t direct Modern Warfare.

ur voice tho

This was pretty dumb.
