Community Review

TV Comedy Rating: 8.3/10 --> LOL Funny

I have finally given into the Community craze, and I must say that I am not disappointed at all.  With a great cast including: Joel McHale (The Soup), Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Alison Brie (Mad Men), Donald Glover, Chevy Chase (you know who he is), and Ken Jeong (the crazy dude from The Hangover), Community is filled with laugh out loud comedy and memorable quotations.  Each character has their unique traits, and it's their differences that make them mesh so well together.

The show follows a Spanish study group at Greendale Community College.  The ages, background stories, and personalities of the group all differ, but they love each other like a family.  Troy, an ex football star, (Glover) and Abed, the nerd, who constantly uses pop culture references (Pudi) have a bromance, Annie (Brie) is the over-achieving goody two-shoes, and Pierce (Chase) is old, out-dated, and racist, but every word that comes out of his mouth is absolutely hilarious. 

A great thing about Community is you can watch it at any point of the season, and it would still be highly entertaining and funny.  For instance, the episode, "Contemporary American Poulty" spoofs Goodfellas. Abed constantly has voice overs while his voice is on screen (like Henry Hill).  Music from the movie is even used in this episode, such as when Abed destroys, kills, or sabotages something that everyone in his "family" loves to make sure they remember who is the boss. 

Basically, Community is a great show.  It's only about 20 minutes long per episode, so you can blaze through them.  If you're looking for a laugh, I highly recommend the show.  It's witty, quick, and entertaining, I mean what more can you ask for?
