Streets Behind: A Community Fanpod

World War Schmitty

We went into this episode thinking that there wasn't a lot to like about it, but we actually found ourselves cracking up talking about it. So, come along with us as we mine some comedic gems out of the Schmitty episode where high school kids come to Greendale and wreak havoc. While Jeff and Britta are in a race to the bottom with three actual teenagers, Troy and Abed lean into quintessential college experiences, and Pierce pulls a truly terrible prank that gets him exiled from the study room. It's bad decisions all around. (Except College Cut-Ups 2: Panty Raid Academy, we're still hoping Troy and Abed follow through on that.) ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Chicken Economy

You know what this one is. It's the chicken fingers episode, the Goodfellas episode, the one where the study group runs a cafeteria cartel. But did you know it's also the episode that gave us "streets ahead"? We didn't! We so did not remember that, and we have a whole podcast named after it. This episode has other hidden gems too like Abed's mafia diagram that lists everyone's functions and wants. Come check it out with us and find out which member of the study group is into birds and banjo music. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Advanced Shenanigan Studies

In this episode, the group grapples with how they perceive each other and themselves. Pierce has reached a pivotal moment with his Laser Lotus cult, and Jeff does not waste any time messing with him. In an attempt to prove she does in fact have a sense of humor, Britta orchestrates the weakest April Fool's prank of all time, which quickly cascades into criminal territory. To deal with the April 1st atmosphere of heightened shenanigans, the dean deputizes Annie and Shirley as temporary campus security. Abed takes full advantage of this terrible idea and casts them in a good-cop-bad-cop scenario where they're both trying to be the bad cop. Hang onto your tiny sombreros because this is going to be a bumpy golf cart ride. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Two TV Recommendations for Community Fans

Sandi recommends two other sitcoms that have a lot in common with Community. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.

Pottery for Sailors

Yes, that's right, the pottery episode and the sailing episode are the same episode! So, buckle up, my precious blueberries, this is going to be a weird one. Shirley captains a parking lot sailing crew on the S.S. Nose Candy. Pierce fake drowns in a parking lot...twice. Jeff makes a bad pot, which wouldn't matter except his classmate Rich makes a great pot, which sends Jeff into an insane spiral. This episode is full of a million memorable moments, including one of Sandi's all-time favorite scenes, but the real star is Tony Hale and his wardrobe of thrift-store blouses. Perfection. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
