Well, its finally here people. The long awaited Community video. In this video, I am ranking and reviewing every episode from worst to best. The inspiration for this is from Cool Ryan Films. Go check out his video and subscribe to him here: • Every Episode of Commu...
Thank you guys so much for waiting all these months for it. I know its been a slow year on my channel, but I hope you all will enjoy this. It has been without a doubt the biggest and most tiring project Ive ever done in my life, but I also hope its the best.
Love you guys so much.

Nice video man! Glad to have inspired you! 👍
W interaction
Yet he is a mere boy ….respect
I love creators supporting other creators. So wholesome ❤
Yeah definitely streets ahead!
"Overall, the worst paintball episode. 9.2/10" is a pretty good way to sum up the quality of Community imo
The quality of PEAK Community
Lol yeah community is just great and that proves it
Ikr every paintball episode is just gold
Now this is a man who knows how to rank community episodes
And secretly marry his cousin
And serve meatballs
He starts the ratings at 7.3? Even for the gas leak year! Not the best way to rank it IMHO.
This guy is truly streets ahead
@@gmanrowe streets behind on the gasleak year...
Starburn's death came out of nowhere because they were still playing off the Law & Order schtick.... Law and Order would always have some wrench thrown in at the very end after everything was tied up in a nice little bow. I thought even that aspect of the episode was perfectly on brand
It came about because the actor was also a writer and producer on the show and didn’t want to act any more so that he could focus on his behind the scenes work.
47:12 “throw in a little Black Mirror”
No no no, good sir, you are forgetting that Community did it first!
App Development and Condiments came out in 2014 while Nosedive (the Black Mirror episode that also has apps that rate people and ratings determine social status) came out in 2016!
Yeah I noticed that as well. It's one of the few times where people mistake a typical community parody when in reality they likely inspired the Black Mirror episode.
That is still the only episode of Black mirror I've ever watched lol
i don’t think he’s saying that they’re parodying black mirror, i think he just meant that the episode had a familiar feeling or concept to what you’d see in black mirror, unintentionally
4:19 You missed the whole point. Jeff by the end of the episode still doesn't believe in the fake illness. But Jeff dropped everything against him because he related to Chang on wanting to have a fresh restart in life.
I guess I can see that, but I still don't like it bc of the messy structure.
Why no one asked why Chang was in the vents bothers me
@@realjoshb You learn not to question the things Chang does. If you start you’ll never stop.
@@thelaggingcactus5488 yeah the kissing changs ex wife left a terrible taste in my mouth, I had to skip that part when I rewatched
I also think he made a mistake placing this as the worst episode, it has a bunch of funny moments and is way better than economic of marine biology or basic story.
Now this is a man who knows how good Elroy is!
yessirrr
I frequently watch Ken Burns' The War, and just NOWWWW realized it was Keith David narrating. Holy Crap!
now this is a man who knows how to marry his own cousin 😭 this show is a once in a lifetime experience i stg
36:58 Fun Fact: This episode is actually written by Jim Rash which I think is the reason it's so much better than the rest of season four and part of the reason it's so loved by the fandom. I mean the man is an Oscar winner for goodness sake.
He's a national treasure
Season 4 has plenty of other episodes that are on a similiar level
@@ayushbajaj4708The jokes in general in season 4 are lazy and not clever. But, there are definitely some pretty good episoded regardless. I actually really like the puppet episode. The songs are beautiful and really catchy, and Jeff helping Shirley feel okay was heartwarming
It's not a parody of a sitcom...
It's an homage
Yes! Community is a love letter to media!
@@soy4600 Just kind of stumbled on this, but no, it's "an". The "h" in homage is silent. I apologize, I just had to.
@@liambaron6229 huh
I have a theory that (due to Dan Harmon discussing S4 concepts in episode commentaries) that Dan Harmon wrote the skeletal structure for Season 4 just before the fired him
Wrong theory, not correct.
WE GOT ROBBED.
Nah, they just pulled from a big idea board they had in the writer’s room. I don’t think he was planning much for the season, he doesn’t write big arcs in advance usually. You can hear him discuss episode concepts sometimes in early Harmontown

@@teej7244 the ending of Season 3 seemed to foreshadow a lot that Season 4 would pick up on (Chang scheming w City College, Jeff's dad,), so there must have been some long-term concepts set up
The glee club Christmas episode has become my fav non paintball episode. It's even my fav Christmas thing to watch every year. Also what makes remedial chaos theory so good is that it shows you how the group is effected by not having one person present. When Jeff leaves everyone is happier. When Troy leaves the world ends. Good stuff.
Glee Club Christmas is S tier, not even up for debate.
Same
@@cjmckay309Boopy doopy doop boop sex
About geothermal escapism. I really liked the subtle nod to an earlier episode where troy said Come Sail away by Stix always makes him cry and then it was the song played when he left.
Something you missed in #103 (ep. 509) was the fact that the "cowboy" on the VHS Abed and Annie were watching is Vince Giligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, so yeah that was definitely intentional.
Pillows and Blankets is probably #2 for me (since nothing can beat RCT). I have never seen any parody of anything that was more accurate and hilarious as this episode parodied Civil War documentaries.
A lot of people put Modern Warfare at the top and I get it, it's amazing but nothing, and I mean NOTHING tops RCT. And like you, I think I might put Pillows and Blankets in the 2 spot.
Man, I remember watching remedial chaos theory for the first time. Once I finished, I immediately called my friend and told my wife at the time that we all had to watch it together cause it was the best episode I had ever seen. Absolute perfection.
My roommate sat the rest of us down for Remedial Chaos Theory and then we proceeded to marathon the whole thing as a family (except we watched the first episode of season 4 then skipped the gas leak year and came back to it out of a sense of duty when we had Community Hangover and needed some hair of the dog)
Dan Harmon's best work
I'm glad to see Garret's wedding so high up here. Chang's speech at the end is one of my favorite moments in the series
I can’t get over Pierce being held at gunpoint by drug runners in 2x21. Funniest shit ever.
Same 😂😂😂
the way you timed talking about remedial chaos theory was art in itself! such a good video
Facts
YES i got emotional when the vocals started 😭
Glad you appreciate GI Jeff. There’s some other guy on CZcams who calls it a terrible episode, and it just shows the depth and darkness is completely lost on him.
Watching Modern Warfare for the first time absolutely blew my mind and it’s stayed as my favorite episode of the series. Also couldn’t agree more that season one Chang is absolutely the funniest character
Modern warfare is crazy good!!! Now whenever I think of paintball I think of community. And yes season one Chang is amazing
So many of the A tiers felt like S tiers, but that just shows how amazing community is.
This video made me realize that Netflix doesn't have the episode "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons" for whatever reason. It was pretty funny because I had no idea that episode existed before you mentioned it as "a well-known episode". This definitely explains some jokes in later seasons about Fat Neil now, so thanks I guess.
yeah, it's on amazon prime now so you can see it there. It's a fantastic episode but a shame that they took it off Netflix.
It was because Chang dressed as an elf that happens to be black. Somehow that's racist
Glad to see you think Intro to Recycled Cinema is underrated. I can tell you that applies to the real world because the hand puppet prop from that episode was one of the cheapest props that got auctioned once the show ended. Citation: I own it.
The 10/10 S tier episodes for me are: Comparative Religion, Modern Warfare, Epidemiology, Cooperative Calligraphy, Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design, Mixology Certification, Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking, Paradigms of Human Memory, A Fist Full of Paintballs/For a Few Paintballs More, Competitive Ecology, Remedial Chaos Theory, Documentary Filmmaking: Redux, Regional Holiday Music, Basic Lupine Urology, and Digital Estate Planning.
It's hard to pick a favorite, but it might actually be Competitive Ecology.
Love seeing Mixology Certification so high, it's such an underrated episode but one of my all time favourites
Funnily enough, I think Repilot is in my top 20, maybe top 10 episodes. Idk, maybe I'm a fan of the parallels to the first ever episode, and maybe I just love seeing how far Jeff Winger has come as a character. It just really hits with me.
same, i think for me it’s that it is a masterclass in how to not just un-fuck a story or show, which would only revert it back to before it was fucked, but also shape it into something that reestablishes it’s greatness while advancing and building on it. the story is equal parts entertaining, shocking, believable, funny, sad, and injects hope into a story and a production which seemed to have lost it. most shows who had a “season 4” can’t recover from it, but this repilot says “get ready, we’re back, and soaring past your expectations.” plus all the actors do wonderfully, especially Joel, and the added comedy of the Shirley-spin-off-show is a fantastic way of explaining an actor’s sudden departure. overall it’s just a super tightly written episode with emotional heart that feels both plausible and brimming with potential for the season to come.
Also Jeff beating his asshole partner with his own tie is one of my favorite moments in the show
6x12 "Wedding Videography" is truly peak comedy of Community
If you wanna know "How truly chaotic this group was" 6x12 the best episode to describe how actually chaotic this group was
Now this is a man who knows how to pick a community episode!!!
The end of this video made me emotional 😭 Great list, I respect the time and effort that went into making this. You really did an awesome job of explaining your thoughts. Brb, gonna go re-watch the entire series again
Fun fact: the reason I started watching this show was because my dad had a box set of the first 3 seasons. I didn’t pick it up until I started watching glee and my dad told me that there was a glee parody in it. So in a weird way my favorite bad show helped me find my favorite good show
Your dad was streets ahead
Oh also when I first watched this and went to check who made this, I was expecting a 10-100k youtube artist based on the editing quality alone, I’m really suprised to see you’re not even over 1,000 subs. I’m excited to see how this channel grows
fun fact: when abed talks about crapping his pants on the set of cougar town he is actually in episode 21 of season 2 of cougar town. he is seen as a background extra who for seemingly no reason at all stands up and just sprints out of frame.
The whole point of Chang being in dark elf face was not unlike RDJ in Tropic Thunder, making fun of cosplayers that go a little too far in their costumes, so it’s not so much being tasteless as much as it is making fun of tasteless people
Yep but unfortunately parody and satire are lost on most people. There is very little room in the modern world for subtlety and nuance.
The parental parentage episode has been one of my favourites simply because of the “secret dogs!” Joke lol
The whole episode is great, tight dialog, good pacing. Definitely A tier
While I liked Pillows and Blankets, I thought it resolved Troy and Abed's fight in kind of a rushed way. The conflict was built up for several episodes and resolved in a minute without actually addressing the reason they were fighting in the first place. It was an opportunity for some character growth for Abed, to realize that he can hurt his friends' feelings when he doesn't account for them.
Instead, "friendship hats" fixes their relationship.
I also hate that the silver paintball plot point gets dropped in Modern Espionage. It's too clumsily abandoned to be considered a proper red herring, and the stinger should've been used to hint at if not outright reveal the silver paintball gunner's identity.
i too love shirley and jeff! i think they had so much character potential together and i would have loved to see that fleshed out more. the moments they do have are great though and always make me smile ((:
The Christmas episode in season 4 didn't feel like a Christmas episode because it was a reference to die hard. Abed references die hard like 5 times, which if you don't know is an arguably Christmas movie despite not feeling very christmasy. It was a very clever homage honestly and even though the episode itself was shit, I liked how they did this.
One thing that always amazed me about community was that it could do some many tv/movie homages while still being funny and unique.
My biggest regret for the series was that we never got a full season with betty white teaching anthropology
Also I disagree with advanced advanced DnD having better pacing. As someone with a fairly unhealthy obsession with DnD and someone who can relate to both fat Neil and Pierce in that episode I can say that that episode is far more faithful to how playing DnD and especially older versions feels like. It also deals with heavy topics like bullying and suicidal thoughts pretty well showing how bullying can often be accidental, the impact of loneliness, and honestly how much someone else making an effort to simply play a game with you can be (hell I’d kill for that)
I'm glad that someone else gave season 4 some love. The episodes are more so watered down but are still half decent. I myself am fond of: The Convention episode, The German episode, The Thanksgiving episode, The Puppet episode and The body swap episode.
The issues are that most of the episodes don't expand on the concepts. So you have a paintball episode where the darkest timeline invades but it feels lacking because of the lack of exchanges between the study group and their evil selves.
i like the way u ranked them bc like community at C tier was a high 7 and that’s literally crazy for any sitcom
May I just applaud you on the music choice at the end. Not only does the instrumental "we think we know you" work so well with the vibe and editing of the final montage of the video, Bo Burnham himself is the only person I've seen have as subversive, meta and rewatchable comedy as community. There's a reason I have all of Bo Burnham's specials and a few episodes of community downloaded on netflix for long train rides.
I was surprised how good this video ended up being. I love how with every ranking video, the narrator becomes more passionate the higher on the list we get, and this video hits that right on the spot. That montage when you got to number one was amazing, and your explanation on Modern Warfare is something I couldn't have done better. You can be proud of yourself.
I’ve watched this whole show more times than I can count. I stopped keeping track after 4. I think ima go through and do this too. What was your organization method?
Used an episode tier list I found online and wrote the entire script on google docs. I was rewatching the whole show with my dad who had never seen it before, and after each episode, I wrote a little review and ranked it on the tier list. I had multiple recurring tabs that I kept open bc this project took me 7 months.
IM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE AGREES ON THE WORST EPISODE JEFF WOULD NEVER DO THAT
I knew it that remedial chaos theory is No.1! The episode shows how such small change can have a different outcome, and all characters in the episode is highlighted in each different universe. The best episode.. No, its the best comedy episode of all time!
Loved this video. I am currently struggling getting through season 4 and it is reassuring knowing that some of the best episodes are still ahead! Thanks!
You know? Honestly? Having just rewatched the series, this is a fantastic list. I couldn't agree more with your points on Remedial Chaos Theory, and I think I'm gonna rewatch it right now.
I really enjoyed this video! I can tell a LOT of time was put into it. I gotta go back and watch Community again now. Keep up the great work!
the accuracy of this video is insane and i respect the dedication in the rewatch and rating. thanks for making this for me to watch instead of studying- so worth it
I think the problem with the inspector space time episode isn't that it isn't funny the pierce stuff is hilarious I think its because to get there the characters have to act way out of character
It's the same for the whole season, because, say what you will about it, season 4 had almost as many laughs as other seasons for me.
I wasn't expecting We Think We Know You during the outro and it was a pleasant surprise
this show is my favorite show ever for a reason i couldn’t put in words, but the opening of this video perfectly explains how i feel. great job man.
why doesn't this vid have more views!? its so well made, great job dude
Really awesome video! Felt like I was chilling with a friend discussing the show; very cool, love it
Absolutely beautiful tribute to the show. Makes me want to watch the whole thing again!
Community is by far My favorite show of all time. And this was a great list, enjoyed the analysis and the appreciation for this gem of a show! Of course can’t top Remedial Chaos Theory. And I agree that the first paintball episode took the show from exceptional to legendary.
neglected to mention that vince gilligan was the guy in the vcr game Pile of Bullets, further tying into possible breaking bad parody that they didnt do for that episode
Damn dude, great video! You can really see the time and effort you put into this. Great job :)
Hugely impressive work, man. Great video. I kept disagreeing with placements and then realised just how many fucking amazing episodes Community has, so even hilarious shit could be low on the ranking. What a show.
I love this video. I was working on my own rank list video so I wanted to see if anybody else did it and yours is wonderful
Fabulous video. I really appreciate how much work must have gone into this.
I have so many disagreements about rankings, but to me that is precisely the point.
“Starburns death came out of nowhere” yeah death does that
Great justifications and format for the video. Love how well this was made, akin to some of the best tv analysis youtubers.
What a great video!!! I agreed with most of this list, especially Remedial Chaos Theory being number 1! You edited that part so awesomely. Community is my all time favorite comfort show. It means so much to me, it's so much more than just a tv show. I am waiting (im)patiently for the movie! 🥰
Been a big fan of Community since the day it aired, and this is a great ranking video. Good work.
You can only imagine the insane level of joy I felt when my favorite episode was put in the number one spot.
Now THAT is dedication 👏👏👏. I find it hard to do stuff like this but i know for me the 8 bit episode and the SVU episode are the best ❤
This is offically one of my favorite genres of youtube, COMMUNITY CRACK! Like Community is such a comforting show for me, it's so nice for me, and Chang is literally one of my fav characters
im rewatching all of community episodes for the third time and i gotta agree with like all of these great work!!
I only recently started Community. Watched the pilot, part of season 1, and about 10 of the “best” episodes. Somehow, I’ve watched your video twice all the way through. Well done. Love the show.
this is such a high quality video wtf? deserves more views!
Excellent list, my dude! Very, very solid. I've been saying for years that Intro to Recycled Cinema is underrated! Good to know I'm not the only one that thinks that.
Answering your questions from the intermission: I did just find your channel, I do really enjoy this video, your ranking is perfect and the explanations you give to each decision makes me agree even when I don't agree. You asked if this video was worth the wait? YES
Excellent work! 99% agree with your rankings, and love how much you love this perfect show.
Environmental science is one of my favorite episodes. I feel like it's the one that really sucks you in for good and starts to find it's footing. The end where they sing to Fievel while chang is dancing with his wife and pierce helps Shirley is when I really realized I was watching something special
Very good list and nice video! I agree a lot with you. It's not always easy to find Community lovers, but when you find them you know it. Nice work man!👍
Amazing video, thank you for making it. It brought many good memories
I appreciate the intermission break you added at the halfway point. Honestly, more channels like yours should do that when they make long videos.
I like your ranking a lot!!! I like how you did not neglect later seasons which many people do
Really good video man! I hadn’t even realized how long I’d spent watching it til the intermission section lol
I love the "half in the bag" theme in the intro
Very good video. I don't agree with a lot of your placings but enjoyed how you spent about the same time with each episode and kept it moving. Very enjoyable watch
Mini the cosmonaut, jokes aside, great video man. Top notch quality!
I'm not done the intro but i can already relate to your eclectic taste in television shows. keep it up!
The ending song you used is one of my favourites, never realised how much it sounded like a community track!!
Thank you so much for this!!!! Amazing video, thoroughly enjoyed 👏🥰
Very happy this got in my recommended. This is a really good ranking!!
What a wonderful tribute to an amazing show
this video is incredible!! i got chills hearing about remedial chaos theory
Now way you were able to make me sit here for an hour and watch this, good stuff sir, keep up the good work
I love this video so much this is my 4th time rewatching it, great work 👌👌
Having the greatest sitcom episode of all time at 26 is bold i'll give you that
You don't mention why people hate the puppet episode - character assassination. Felt Surrogacy's big problem is that it tries to be one of the "secrets revealed" episodes and (in stark contrast to the impactful revelations of Cooperative Calligraphy, Cooperative Polygraphy, and to a lesser extent Basic Email Security), the secrets are mostly either way out of character or weightless and pointless. Annie (who has always been completely against any kind of academic fraud as in Conspiracy Theories) was allegedly struggling in history and let Cornwallis rub her feet in order to cheat on a test? No way. Shirley forgot her kids "all night in the grocery store"? Nope. Britta's never voted in an election but has voted for The Voice (SONG BROUGHT TO YOU BY ADAM LEVINE OF NBC'S THE VOICE)? Why would Britta be embarrassed by that, given her radical background, defending Julian Assange, raging against the machine, etc.? Troy started a fire when he was young? OK, whatever, but what impact does that have on his character? Jeff ghosting a woman he had started to date and her son? Could be interesting, but goes nowhere, and it doesn't make him "exactly like my dad." Pierce having lied about Eartha Kitt I don't actively hate, but it's meh.
I seriously thought this video was from a more established youtuber.. so suprirsed you haven't got more followers.. incredible video and great editing
I've seen every episode of this show at least 6 times and I gotta say... this list is really great. You explained a lot of my exact thoughts about things (for example, Communication Studies being the best "normal episode") and even the things I didn't agree on, your explanations were valid. I do think the puppet episode is as bad as people say because it feels like some shitty show trying to copy Community's formula. I also think Intro to Knots, the pilot and Studies in Modern Movement deserved to be higher and there were a few I'd personally move down, but that's just my opinion.
Also I gotta appreciate the dunkey reference AND the love for Elroy, big W on that scene. Also also, DAMN you got some anime ass hair man, that's sick.
This video was so good! Definitely worth procrstinating studying for
I love your ranking of the season 6 episodes, couldn't agree more !
You recognised Intro to Recycled Cinema as the quality episode it is, I don't care where you ranked anything else, that alone gave you more credibility than most other people that do this kind of thing. Nice job!
Got recommended this video and loved it. Shocked to see you don't have more subs. :)
the quality and style of your videos remind me a lot of Ralph the movie maker, and that is a very good thing, keep it up dude, great work
