I only hope the DVD includes some sort of annotations (whether through a commentary or otherwise) that identifies all of the homages.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

Simply brilliant. I watched it twice in a row last night. If there was a negative on the episode, it was not enough of Annie. The Chang part was fantastic.

Ken Tucker posted this at EW.com yesterday. Can't believe no one mentioned the slams at Glee again:


What makes 'Community' different from NBC's other Thursday sitcoms? One word: Confidence.

I could use an Annie popping out of the trashcan GIF...

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

Paintball time bomb!!! slo-mo jump and all :)

Great episode!! 2 great episodes in a row - hope they keep this up.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

FYI:

This is the Predator homage. Senior Chang even does the laugh like the Predator.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

I've never had a smile stretched across my face for 22 solid minutes before. Even reading this thread is bringing it all back. Going to rewatch at work today.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

Oh - my favorite part was when Pierce shot Star-Burns.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

Great episode - I love Spaced and this was in the same creative ballpark.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

that was probably one of the best sitcom episodes I can remember in the past 5 to 10 years. so many awesome, yet cheesy, nods to action flicks. god that was good.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

Simply awesome on every level. I loved how the Dean asked Chang if he played paintball, and Chang said, "Yeah. I'm the kind of douchebag who brings his own equipment."

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

:lol: That was one of the best lines of the night.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

agreed! more annie, less of crazy-eyed britta :D

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

Loved when Jeff walked into the dean's office and they used the actual sound effects from Rambo II - when he shot up the office.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

I love when they're talking about the Glee Club and Jeff says 'Let's not resort to cheap ploys' and he takes his shirt off.

This was hilarious.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

BTW...Dead Presidents homage

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

This was practically Hot Fuzz in 22 minutes and on network tv.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

GIF's in spoiler as to not slow people's computers down.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

that was a nice read and so true. not only confidence, but great writing, i think, has a lot to do with a show's success or failure.

the writers of Community are fresh and inventive and hopefully can keep it going for many many years. the show oozes charm with its lyrical ease and the cast gels so perfectly that it is truly rare nowadays to find something so special so quickly within a freshman season. Seinfeld and Cheers, sitcom legends, can't even say that.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

Holy cow, I thought this was the second season, for some reason. Good call. Hard to find a show that is this good its first year.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

This was better than Newsradio's Space episode but not quite as good as its Daydream.

High praise for me. This show has mad promise.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

Interesting, I never knew that Justin Lin was one of the directors on this show.

This was probably my favorite episode of any show this season.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

I was wondering the same thing when explaining that particular homage to my wife...

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

This episode was damn near perfect. The only thing that could have made it better would have been white doves and if it was a hour long. I too just watched it twice in a row.

Re: Community -- "Modern Warfare" -- 05/06/10
 

Yeah, I just re-watched this again. This is my favorite episode of TV since Battlestar's Exodus: Part 2.
