JIC .... You Need A New Series

When looking back at 2011, on what was my first year of blogging, I am surprisingly content with the subjects and areas covered in Just In Case, with one exception. When starting this blog, my main intention and ideal was to express my personal interests in all areas of music, fashion and entertainment. With these intentions held in mind, why did I not see fit to write about my find of the year... Community. Having briefly covered the sit-com when blogging Donald Glover / Childish Gambino, I now want to do the show justice with its own JIC entry...


The series first premiered on NBC back in 2009, and is the creation of Meta-Humour (jokes about jokes) writer, performer Dan Harmon. Originally centralised on the sarcy, smooth-talking Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) who career as a lawyer was stopped when his degree at 'Columbia University', was found to be from "less than legitimate" and "better than real" country Columbia. As a result Winger is forced to join Greendale Community College, where his attempts to pursue Britta Perry (Gillian Jacobs) results in him forming the study group that the show in centralised on. The other members of the study group include  Chevy Chase as the unknowingly racist, sexist stereotyper Pierce Hawthorne, Donald Glover as the jock-turned-geek Troy Barnes, the very sexy Alison Brie as the innocent Annie Edison, Danny Pudi as the human IMDb Abed Nadir and last but by no means least Hangover star Ken Jeong, as the loveable psychopath Señor Ben Chang, here is his best moment...


One of the shows highlights is the two part episode "A Fistful Paintballs" and "A Few More Paintballs." The western, action movie parody is a sequel to an episode seen in season 1, "Modern Warfare" where the whole college goes to paintball war over a cash prize of $100,000!! See both episodes in full below..

Part One - A Fistful Of Paintballs                            Part Two - A Few More Paintballs
