Community

"Community" references a lot of movies. From "Pulp Fiction" to "My Dinner with Andre," the films mentioned on the show run the gamut of years and styles -- sometimes in the same episode.In honor of this eclectic mix of movie love, a truly passionate fan -- Anne Thomas -- of the show has made a super-cut of all "Community" movie shout-outs from the series. The password? It's "movietime."The question is: Did any movies get missed? The only one we caught was "For a Few Dollars More," the sequel to "A Fistful of Dollars" -- the inspirations for the second iteration of paintball on "Community."Leave any other omissions in the comments section below!"Community" Season 5 airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on NBC.... //blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2014/03/community-video-five-seasons-of-movie-references-in-one-video.html

"Community" Season 5 has a treat for former 1980s cartoon watchers: In the upcoming "G.I. Jeff" episode, the characters become G.I. Joe characters and even includes a PSA at the end. Watch the ridiculous video here.For this PSA, Britta (as "Buzz Kill") and Abed (as "Fourth Wall") teach a couple of kids about the evils of graffiti. Sort of. In case you're not familiar with this particular form of "educational" television, many cartoons in the 1980s and 1990s -- including "G.I. Joe" -- ended their episodes with brief skits like this. Characters from the stories would step out of their world to tell normal kids about what was right and good in this world. Some of them were almost as funny as this "Community" video. For example, one time the "Thundercats" warned a couple of youngsters that sheltering from a thunderstorm under a tall tree was a bad idea.

During Wednesday's PaleyFest at L.A.'s Dolby Theater, the cast and producers of NBC's “Community” introduced a first look at its animated homage to “G.I. Joe” airing Thursday, April 3 at 8/7c.

"Community" is no stranger to animation. Prior to Season 5's "G.I. Jeff" (airing Thursday, April 3), the bizarre comedy had already aired two mainly animated episodes: "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" (stop-motion) and "Digital Estate Planning" (8-bit computer graphics).For the Season 5 version of animation, however, episode 11 is taking the "G.I. Joe" route in tribute to the 1980s animated series.What's going on here? "This [episode] has a very specific story reason for it," executive producer Chris McKenna tells EW.com. "I don't want to give too much away, but our characters find themselves in a 'Wizard of Oz'-type journey through the world of 'G.I. Joe' ... There's a mystery that Jeff in particular has to get to the bottom of."Considering that Jeff Winger would have been about the right age to enjoy "G.I. Joe" cartoons back in the day, that does make sense.Exactly how much "G.I. Joe" will make it into "G.I. Jeff"? "We do a typical... //blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2014/03/community-season-5-episode-11-gets-animated-for-gi-jeff.html
