And we don't even see Danny's or Ken's reactions because I assume they were laughing uncontrollably. And they probably didn't want to reshoot their reactions because this is too great.
Jim Rash is amazing for this. Imagine having to rap a fun little freestyle that continually rises in intensity, in front of all the actors, extras, and crew whom may be breaking down in laughter while you must keep your demeanor, all while dressed as a peanut bar. 10/10
It’s difficult to believe that a man could begin a rap with “Well I’m a peanut bar and I’m here to say...” and go on to scream “BARACK OBAMA IS SCAAARED OF ME” But it happened.
I dont know, i dont feel like the second 'I LOST IT" was a very good delivery honestly. It sounded like he was very calmly just raising the tember of his voice. But with how much raw emotion came out in the rap, i would have loved to hear some some quiver or cracking in his voice suggesting he was heartbroken over it. Just my opinion.
Apparently the writers had to debate about wether they should have it in or not and they ended up with “it’d be normal to laugh after something like that happened” and so they put it in.
I always wondered if the cast knew what was coming or if it was a genuine reaction. Imagine if they were just told go with it and then he goes off with this 😂 the utter amazement haha
@@Philmccracken790 Also, with her eye line there, its slightly believable that she looked at Annie or Shirley for a "you saw this too, right?" response
For those wondering, this took several takes because (obviously) no one could keep a straight face. Apparently this was one of the few takes where Gillian Jacobs wasn't full on cracking up, and they kept it because they figured Britta would find it funny.
@@andyspendlove1019 I love the part where the Dean walks in in a peanut bar costume and starts a rap about how their paychecks will be delayed, but the rap escalates into a gangster rap, then the dean drops the mic and expresses fear at what came over him, then runs out
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol. We don't have those we dont have those where I live, but i've heard of them. This makes a lot more sense. Thank you 2 year old comment on a 5 year old video
Yeah he came back series 5, largely thanks to Joel McHale. Honestly the fourth series is just a let down, the humour isn't there, the characters aren't themselves and the stories are off. Community needs Dan Harmon.
I searched for “community dean fire” to find the scene where Pelton comes in in a fireman costume to warn the study group about a real fire before everyone else, and this came up instead. I’m not even mad this do be some fire
Being from the UK it was only years later that someone told me payday was a peanut candy bar. Before then, I just thought the Dean was just dressed as a peanut because he liked them and I went along with it.
Dean was great in every season except for season 4. The new writers didnt really know how to write his character, so he kinda just became a creepy stalker
I was huge “Community” fan during its run, but I slowly stopped watching after Donald Glover left the show. So I had actually never seen this moment before. Imagine the joy I felt during my re-watch this year. Holy crap.
Should've stopped watching after Chevy was written out. It was so tiring how hard the writers tried to make him the bad guy. I really liked Pearce when they wrote for him normally. He was my favorite alongside Annie and Jeff.
@@amilueur Chevy leaving sucks but sadly he always had a feeling of im chevy chase fuck you dan you drunk bastard which was true dan did do some foul shit during his time at community but nothing compared to Chevys entitled im famous attitude despite this show literally reviving his career in the end he got himself written off by constantly complaining and giving Dan Harmon WRITING SUGGESTIONS like dude.... your time has passed Dan knows his shit Chevy hated the way they portrayed pierce as racist etc and the idiot butt of the joke. When he was the villian it was always apparent he had some sort of possible redemption arc coming along being a sad lonely Old man in CC to meet people but he wasnt patient enough for that arc and Dan got booted off the show and it was all down hill from there. Season 6 was great especially considering circumstances it phenomenal.
You gotta give Jim Rash props for his acting here, his facial expressions, the way his face suddenly becomes tense and serious as the song progresses before having coming back to his senses and freaking out, its absolutely hilarious.
This will never cease to make me laugh. Jim Rash is so so good. If I were on that cast I'd have to leave the room while he was giving his rap apology, my laughter woulda been so uncontrollably loud.

Me too... I laugh at a lot of Community, but that was the only time that I found myself unable to stop laughing for about twenty seconds.
Possibly the funniest scene in the entire show. Kramer level commitment to character. 😁
Yes.🙌
I literally cry with laughter every time, it's genius.
Only opening that is as good if not better is Dwight starting the fire in the office

Good catch!

Nah, he was fired after season 3 but then came back for season 5 and 6.
Yeah he came back series 5, largely thanks to Joel McHale.
Honestly the fourth series is just a let down, the humour isn't there, the characters aren't themselves and the stories are off.
Community needs Dan Harmon.
Dunno what you guys are talking about, the 5th season made it clear that it was simply a gas leak.
idk, season 6 was weak. and the constant jokes about dead shows losing steam wasn't funny, just obnoxious
This wouldn't work without the costume.
Its not the dean without the damn peanut costume
Yeah, it would be pretty weird to start with "I'm a peanut bar and I'm here to say" if he weren't wearing a peanut bar costume.
You know someone is about to spit fire when you hear "well my name is ____, and I'm here to say"

I find the little run at the end is one of the funniest things ever. Dean Pelton was such a strong character !

That's adorable
Oh shit! An extra layer to the joke that I never knew!!
"I don't know what that was, I don't know what that was" hahaah
Dean was the only part of the show that kept improving after season 3, at least as i remember it.
avocado pictures season 6 is my favorite season tbh but I know that’s not a popular opinion
I think Britta also. Her and the Dean carry season 6
Abed stays good and has some great moments but there is something missing from him without troy
