Britta's moonwalk was amazing.

I thought this episode was great. Yeah, it contrasts with last week's a bit (in terms of gimmickry) but these two episodes sort of show how Community can work at different levels.
Keep it coming. This has been a strong season thus far.

I didn't notice that! He must've copied it off Pierce in the drug musical (as he was flushed down the toilet).

For a show with a dedicated fan base, there seems to be an interesting "love it or hate it" thing going on in this thread.
Yeah, it was aired out of the order originally planned, though I beleive it was Harmon's decisions, not just NBC moving stuff. In many ways this order works better, though - if it aired the other way around, you'd have Troy and Abed being buddy-buddy again.
My solution? Imagine that last week's episode occurs in the week after the Christmas episode, then there's a break, then the events of this one - it works without needing to change any ordering. I'm a genius.
Community has always been teetering on too immature and weird for me. And not cool weird, like, look at those fat virgins with anime t shirts over there weird. This episode just happened to cross into a threshold where absurdity seemed more important than comedy.

I like how Shirley snuck in a "the worst" comment about Britta at the start.

Great episode but they have to get rid of the cartoony effects. It doesn't help to attract to the mainstream audience (which I think is the reason what's with all the low ratings and such)
The impersonations, chang moments, dean moments were all genuine community things. the thought bubbles really made me sigh.

Well, I hated it. 
I'd have to look on the Wiki but I don't think there has been a single episode in S3 I 100% enjoy. But then, I'm one of those people who liked the Season 1 direction and didn't like the "out there" episodes in S2. I just like the normal episodes without gimmicks.
Ended up watching it with four other people and I think we may have laughed once. Stuff like the Dean following at Jeff's shadow, all the celeb stuff, graphics, etc... it's not the show I fell in love with. They're all good characters being written horribly in my opinion.

It only had the one silly animated graphic.
But also, I agree, that episode was much better than this one.

The 'time' insert and heart thing last week worked fine but the thought bubble stuff this week was one step too cartoony for me. But that might be because the whole episode was kind of a step too cartoony for me.

Back down to 1.7 but it was the highest rated NBC show in the demo on Thursday.
But overall, was it NBC's highest?

That episode was horrible. Some funny moments initially but holy shit, that entire Bar Mitzvah segment - ESPECIALLY the "Hulk" thing - was embarrassing. And the ending...wow.
This is not the Community I fell in love with. There have been a few good episodes this season, but overall it just feels forced. Like a caricature of every aspect of the show previously

I phrased it wrong; What I think is since the whole risk factor in Community future, they started using graphics to appeal more to the mainstream audience. It might help, but IMO it looks bad.

They're both in the trailer they showed two weeks ago that incorporates the rest of the season.
I think that's a bit extreme.
I'm streets behind here, are you famous or something (outside of danharmonsucks)?
Nope, that's the only thing I'm really known for.
Nah, I think he's fine.
I actually disliked his character when every episode seemed to portray him as a morally, intellectually and physically superior superhuman.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I dont think I want another season of Community unless the writers accept they've really been hit or miss this season. Its spluttered and stopped and start this entire run from some truly dire beginnings to a solid middle, and now back to naff episodes.
S1 and 2 felt soooogooood.gif but it really has that stink of "run its course" about it now.

Let's demand a public apology from Dan Harmon!
I still don't understand how not getting a fourth season would be better than a hit-and-miss fourth season.

Community at its worst is better than most shows at its bestest.
Needs to be cancelled for its own good. Writers clearly have no idea how to develop the characters further than extrapolate on what has already been established. Afraid to make any of them move on.
NBC was trying to save us from episodes like this last one. See what happens when you get your way, Internet?

The only "problem" that Community has for me at the moment is that its simply too dense comedically to take in on a single viewing. The pre-credits sections are particularly thick with small gags that come and go so quickly its hard to keep up.
I've also noticed a trend where a lot of fans get turned off when members of the study group get presented in a less than flattering light, with the disfavour being comparable to how popular the character is who's getting lampooned. Showing Jeff particularly in a negative light seems to bother people.

Yeah, I enjoy episodes more on the second viewing nowadays, usually.
