Good Morning Greendale: A Community Podcast

We're wrapping up the series (for now) and talking about our feelings on finishing out all the Community that there is, until the movie. Except for webisodes. I don't watch webisodes. Deal with it. See you, Space Cowboy. Ben runs out of energy. Mike eats all the pizza.

Hellooooooo Nippledippers! We're closing out the series (for now) and coming up with grades for the Season 7 pitches. We also say goodbye to one of the best shows on television. What a time. Ben revives Pop-Up Video. Mike tries to be Strong Bad.

Now here's a podcast who knows how to talk about the penultimate episode of Community! We're talking about Garrett's wedding and it gets weird. Abed films it for posterity's sake, while the group splits off and tries to do their own thing to prove that they are not co-dependent narcissists. It somehow goes even worse than you expect. Ben retells a story about Earth Angel. Mike gets a 1-star Yelp review.

Paintball is not back. It could never be back, because it was banned. There's no way there's an underground paintball game going on at the school, because, and I can't stress this enough, it was banned. Okay. Paintball happens, and the gang tries to figure out who stated it. Meanwhile, we're talking about birthdays, IP addresses, and whether or not you need a VPN to protect yourself from robots. This episode is NOT sponsored by any VPNs! We burned that bridge. Ben gets pretentious. Mike leans into balls.

We're taking a giant hand on a road trip, so make sure you get the best snacks! And that you have gas! And working batteries! And extra thick straps! Extra thick straps! Extra thick straps! Plus, Britta crawls into a giant hand... hot? We're also inventing a brand new show for the Breaking Bad Universe. So clearly you don't want to miss this one. Ben gets beef jerky stuck in his teeth. Mike finally gets to rant about the Doritos Locos Taco.

Bring your regulation grifting briefcase because we're going grifting. That's about all I have to say on this one because this episode is many days late. Sorry! But at least Matt Berry is in this one (the episode of Community, NOT on our humble podcast.) Ben is Son of Columbo. Mike looks like a normal human bartender.

Haaaaam, girrrrrl! Abed is tasked to make a movie using the three minutes of footage he has for now famous ham spokesperson, and it has to be 81 minutes long. Exactly. For some reason. It's exactly as great as you expect it to be. Ben is 72% plastic. Mike finds a tiny door.

Sub... er... Rick is back to woo Britta's heart and also sell Hondas to Level 7 Susceptibles. The Dean buys everything Honda makes. Jeff tries to impress Elroy. A whole cavalcade of guest stars show up. What an episode! Meanwhile we start a whole new show about how much we hate Avatar. Because we're monsters. Whoops. Ben is impressed by the 60/40 fold down seat. Mike gets one mechanical alligator.

Racist comic Gupta Gupti Gupta comes to Greendale and it ignites a debate about free speech for the ages after hackers indicate that they will leak the school's emails if they don't cancel his appearance. Yet again, the entire study group turns on each other. Meanwhile we're kind of like... I dunno, what just happened here? Ben asks you not to cancel your TiVo service. Mike finally gets to talk about a Virginia reference.

Convicts are coming to Greendale, on iPads on sticks on wheels. Jeff gets into a fight with a convict (in literal Battlebots form) and Britta throws a party with MORE THAN 8 GUESTS. Meanwhile, we're watching the English Language melt and getting stuck on perpetual Zoom calls. Don't forget to check out Sister Sheree Sauce as recommended by our first GOOD MORNING GREENDALE DOT COM BLUE subscriber, Ben (a different Ben) tiktok.com/@shabazsays/video/7189363989833452806 Ben gets a burrito. Mike gets stuck in the digital ether.

Gay Dean, Gay Dean, Gay Dean Gay DEEAAAN! We're begging you to listen to our episode about talking about the gay dean of the school board. That's because Dean Pelton gets a position on the school board but only if he has to compromise about who he is. We also find some birds in the WiFi and Derek from The Good Place shows up to yell at Chang. All in all, there's a lot going on here. We also talk a whole lot about the 1973 hit "Jolene." Why wouldn't we? Ben gets seduced by flaming locks of auburn hair. Mike gets instant nostalgia about Tech TV.

CRISIS ALERT: City College is about to release an attack ad. Did a dog REALLY get a degree from Greendale Community College? Does it matter? And what is with these cans of olives? In The group gets down to business uncovering the facts to these mysteries. Meanwhile, we're re-litigating Ben's attack ad against friend of the show Nate, we're developing some James Bond films with help of AI, and we're writing reviews for candy. Ben is a reasonably-chunky peanut butter kind of guy. Mike writes the most important review.

Today we're talking about WORLDS WITHIN WORLDS as we go deep diving in to virtual reality. We're setting time zones. We're moving files. We're deleting serial numbers. Also, Britta's parents are cool and we want some of those mashed potatoes. We're also talking about some 90s nostalgia in the form of cool folders, affairs, and Samurai Cop. Ben falls into the thrall of The Orb. Mike invokes the Popamatic Bubble.

We're back for our YAHOO SCREEN ERA!!! The study group is back, too, (with the exception of Shirley, who spun off). New member Frankie shows up to be a no-nonsense go-getter with a nondescript binder. The rest of the study group decides that want nonsense and very descript binders. Heads are butted and secret bars are built. Meanwhile, we talk way too much about Gritty yet again. Gritty, come join our podcast. We promise it won't be weird. We also talk about pizza, because of course we do. Ben gets hooked off stage. Mike is hot and ready.

It's the final season break as we prep up for season 6. We talk about grilled cheese, bidets, video games, more video games, and what we expect in season 6! Ben starts a fight with Babish. Mike becomes a Bidetman.

We're closing out season 5 by trying to get back the school from the vile clutches of Subway (eat fresh!) Jeff and Britta are getting married, or not. Annie has feelings about that, or not. Abed makes some meta quips about being meta. Also, Richie THOUGHT JACKS EVERYBODY. You know there is gonna be a hang glider. Meanwhile we make some painful decisions thanks to the opening bit, and we're forced to cold boot the mainframe. Ben chooses to live in darkness. Mike eyes a Mac Pro.

We're back! Just in time for Greendale to be saved and thus sold to a sandwich restaurant. Eat fresh! Or don't. Ben shakes hands with Richard Nixon. Mike decides to remove his pants and have a good cry.

Jeff winds up in the hospital and has a hallucination about G.I. Joe (GO JOE!). That's it. That's the point of the episode. That and the idea that getting old kinda sucks. Boy howdy it does. GO JOBRA. Also we talk about regional pizzas, regional foods, and uh... some talk about what actors are or are not in certain movies. Ben Britta's it. Mike looks up 90s toys on eBay.

We're playing more Dungeons & Dragons but this time it's all about Hickey reconnecting with his estranged son. And his son is the one and only David Cross. We're also talking about eye patches, our own D&D experiences, and a new Indiana Jones movie? Ben gets his first role in a movie. Mike creates his first D&D Warlock.

Annie and Abed play a 1993 VCR game in order to decide who the new roommate in apartment 303. Jeff, Shirley, and Hickey try to sell some stolen books. And Dean Pelton? Well. He goes on a tear. Meanwhile we're talking about board games, VCR games, and FMV games. We also get a financial offer we can't refuse. Ben makes goes on a board game rant. Mike finally gets the Payday joke.
