    People on the spectrum are usually pictured in pop culture as people who don't like others or even care about them. The genius of Abed is that, even though he's really proud and comfortable about who and how he is, he still loves people and wants to fit in and have friends. And that's the source of his insecurities and fears, which are a huge part of what makes the character so human and relatable. Also Danni's acting is just perfect. It's amazing how much charisma, emotion and nuance he injects into a character that most of the time shows amost no emotions or even facial expressions.

      @puckbryn3583 Před 3 lety +51

      that nugget of finding unexpected things genuinely interesting feels so true to my experience on the spectrum. I also love the opposite end of that (which I feel Abed also represents beautifully) when you have absolutely no interest for something, and you absolutely know you’re not supposed to say “I just... I don’t give a shit”, it takes every ounce of your energy to not say that, and sometimes you fail. But the people around you, if they’re good and kind (and the timing/situation isn’t horrid), they mostly just sorta laugh it off and appreciate the honesty.

      (Side note, I’ve practiced learning a couple of ways to say when I’m bored “politely”- “I appreciate how much you enjoy (thing)! It just doesn’t ‘hit’ for me, I’m more into (whatever u like).” Non autistics are usually good at reading the “hint” to change the topic.)

    Abed might be the most interesting character on the show. He can't understand people because they're so random. On the other hand, popular culture has structure. So he tries to understand life through pop culture within a show, making him the personification of the metta aspect of the TV series.

      probably reading way too into this, but being on the spectrum this is definitely weirdly validating. there are certain things I’ve never understood that neurotypical people either just get or have an easy time learning, the pleasantries and small talk that I guess I’ve never seen the purpose of, not to say there aren’t reasons, I just don’t get them. but it also allows me to break down walls easier and just get to talking about things that actually matter to people.
      I guess sometimes I think neurotypical people are weird (even though I’m the one who’s different in that way) and it’s nice to see that come from someone else

    Abed is my favorite character by far on the series. He's one of the most relatable characters to me in these types of shows because I myself am socially awkward, and have difficulties relating to people, so i have trouble fitting in and making friends. He also lives in his own world where he envisions everything as being in a TV show WHICH I LITERALLY DID in school. I would do things like say "we'll be right back after these messages" while leaving a classroom for lunch.
    I loved seeing Abed grow throughout the series and actually got emotional during some of the scenes where he was directly affected by something. The show really is through Abed's eyes, and I firmly believe that the Commun-iverse is so odd because its how Abed is perceiving it. Almost like he's exaggerating everyone else's personalities.
    Danny Pudi and Donald Glover are a magical duo and I'm sad for Abed (and Danny) that his friend left, but I'm happy for Troy being able to sail with his hero, and I'm happy for Donald being able to pursue other things.
    Such an amazing show (i wish i didnt find it 14 years later lol)

      It seems like something that would've been included on one of the DVDs but I've never seen it before either. Hopefully they'll upload more of these early interviews.

    Before I knew Danny as Abed, I remember him as Teddy from Powerless.

    plot twist this is abed pretending to be the actor who would play him played by the actor that actually plays him
    and danny was secretly abed playing an out of character version of himself being danny
