Community is awesome. It's basically a geek-out/spot-the-reference fest for fans of sci-fi/fantasy/movies/TV but it's also very, very funny. They'll do some really interesting/bold/weird format shifts, like having an episode that's a Claymation Holiday Special or an episode that's told like an episode of Law & Order. From the look of it, the GI Jeff episode will be another such ''special'' episode, so it probably will be an almost completely animated episode.
If you've never watched it and want to get an idea of the style of humor or how adaptable the format is, try the following episodes, as they're some of the best: Modern Warfare (Spoof of action/post-apocalyptic movies) Digital Estate Planning (Episode is SNES-like videogame) Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (Characters play D&D) Contemporary America Poultry (Goodfellas/Gangster movie parody) Basic Rocket Science (Apollo 13 spoof) Conspiracy Theories & Interior Design (Action movie satire) A Fistful of Paintballs/A Few Paintballs More (2-parter) (Action movie/Western/Star Wars parody) Remedial Chaos Theory (An exploration of the Multiverse Concept) Regional Holiday Music (Glee!) Geothermal Escapism (Post-Apocalyptic ''floor is lava'') App Development & Condiments (Logan's Run/Zardoz/70 sci-fi) This is SERIOUSLY exciting news for me. This looks more than fantastic. THIS....is the kind of stuff GIJOE needs right now. Now I am jumping in to learn more about this "community"..they may have made a fan out of me.

Annie is based off Shipwreck. Jeff is Duke. Shirley is Stalker.
Britta as Buzzkill correlates to which Joe, if any...? Maybe Tigerforce Skystriker 1988 due to the pants, front pockets and visor? Last edited by chaingunsofdoom; 03-22-2014 at 04:28 PM.. |

You're welcome. I just tried to concentrate on the more oddball/experimental episodes to show the scope of the show and that could be watched in isolation without having to know too much about it but I would recommend anybody who is really interested just watch from Episode 1.

I'm stoked! The style looks great between Shipwreck Annie's face (& boobs) & Shirley's Stalker look. lol

It's almost depressing to me that Community, which is devoting an entire episode of it's thin 13-episode season to this, is doing more to celebrate Joe's 50th than Hasbro is.
That said, someone tell the club to make a Tight Ship figure, because that's well beyond my head-swap customizing abilities. ;) I'd REALLY like to see the animated style captured on my shelf.
