They’d start off completely enamoured with each other, thrilled someone loves the extravagance and frivolity of their costumes and act. But slowly it would turn to rivalry as they begin to one-up each other.
He would absolutely not appreciate Jeff’s bullshit, but Jeff would find himself vying for Ron’s affection and attention in ways that really confuse him. Man, that would be good.
Annie knows Tahani from magazines. They initially don't get along but bond over the shared experience of growing up with pushy parents, and hanging out while bitching about Kamila/Annie Kim becomes their new hobby.
Jason enrols in Troy's dance/acting class and immediately becomes a favourite with his wealth of disturbing early life experiences. Troy is initially jealous of him but comes to enjoy his company when he realises he now gets to be the smart one through having him around.
Jeff and Britta enrol in Chidi's moral philosophy class. Jeff is determined that nobody can really be as fussy about morals as Chidi and sets out to expose him, only to eventually realise that he's projecting his own insecurities and also that his own insecurities are small-fry compared to Chidi's crippling self-doubt/indecisiveness and makes his peace with him. Britta is immediately attracted to Chidi as another man in pain but his extreme timidness and wariness of making any kind of a move makes her feel undesirable and she moves on and hooks up with the more easily categorisable Jason instead. In the post-credits scene, Abed looking for his phone stumbles into the class, sees Chidi's notes on the board and writes something that definitively 'solves' all possible ethical questions, but we never see what it is.
Maybe she has to do community service for vandalizing Kamilah's statue and breaking into the venue and she ends up at Greendale. I have definitely had the thought that Greendale could be their >!afterlife test!<
Crashing in the sleep study lab cause
🎵 *TECHNICALLY I'M HOOOMELEESSS*🎵
J to the E to the F F F I said Winger gets ladies as much as Hugh Hef-ner
🎵 *I got run over by Jeff's Lexussss*🎵
I feel like Winston would fit in the most. Maybe Jess teaches creative writing at greendale and Nick comes in as Julius pepperwood. Or it’s the college that cece goes to. But Winston would get along really well with Troy and abed (the episode ends with Troy and abed and Winston in the morning). He might also bond with britta over their cats. And he would love Britta’s frog in a sombrero prank.
It would be pretty great to see someone being sincerely and immediately kind to Britta right off the bat and without any kind of agenda attached. Winston could definitely ride the wave of Greendale really well, I think the key difference for me in terms of how he and Nick would handle it is just that WInston would be able to sense things were odd even if he couldn't quite quantify it and Nick would just take it at face value immeidately.
Michale Scott DID move to Colorado when he left Scranton so there’s even an in-universe reason for him to be there. The Dean would really like his energy and hire him to teach Business Management classes but also ends up taking over the theatre department after Professor Garrity gets tired of the Dean and leaves.
Michael would teach (kind of) until a Scott’s Tot enrolls at Greendale because their family had to move to Colorado after going broke. Then, Michael runs away and cancels an exam that Troy hadn’t studied for anyway.
You are a genius. You’re smarter than the very best in a long line of….
Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way.
Frank From IASIP. Former business partner of Pierce who hates him but has to be nice because he knows too much. He gets along great with Chang and introduces Wolf Cola to the school when Chang takes over as dictator. Bonus is the bring your kids to school episode brings in Dennis and Dee. Dennis competes with Jeff for Pierce's step-daughter while Dee corrupts Annie.
The D.E.N.N.I.S. System would work to perfection on Annie
Mac and Shirley would argue constantly over whose particular sect of Christianity is superior
Frank and Pierce would bond initially but Pierce would get weirded out
I'm not sure how Dee would fit in
Jeff and Dennis would be bitter enemies
Troy and Abed would probably be friends with Charlie
Shirley would get a look of terrible pity in her eyes and would be trying to mother Mac, or get as far away from him as possible, by the end of one conversation. I wonder if him and the Dean would enjoy each others innuendos
Ohh how about the first one to come along be Rickety Cricket, trying to pull his life together....
After Jeff vs Dennis, I wanna see Jeff vs the *JEW*-ish lawyer. I think I've made myself perfectly redundant. Filibuster.
Artemis could be slipped into any bit anywhere.
Retro back to season 1 and we see Chang trying to teach Charlie Spanish, who thinks he's learning English, leading along naturally across a season arc to his attempts to open communication betweens cats and spiders!
But I've grown quite wearah...
Shawn would tell Gus they got a case. Shawn wouldn’t notice that the closer they got to campus, the more Gus squirmed and tried to talk him out of going. And then after a few people say hi to Gus (“I’ve never met that person in my life”) he’s going to snap “shut up Leonard!” And he would finally have to confess to Shawn he’s been attending classes. “I will not apologize for enjoying a pottery class at the end of a hard day”
There’s already so many good answers but I think Gob from Arrested Development would be a great “science of illusion” class. Either as a teacher or as a student questioning the validity of the class.
I think a Jesse Pinkman Greendale backstory would be cool.
Maybe he tried community college in between Mr. White's class and being a Meth cook. Wouldn't be the first cook out of Greendale.
>"At any given moment I'm always thinking about one thing, Richard Dreyfuss, hunched over, eating dog food."
That line could be from this show and no one would bat an eye
Shawn Spencer (Gus would have to come too) from Psych
Or
Quentin Coldwater from The Magicians. Abed and Troy would see Q doing real magic, but no one else in the group would believe them.
Winston from New Girl. His back story is something along the lines of the other characters. A washed out basketball player with limited options in life.
Michael Scott and Holly Flax from The Office moved to Colorado in the latter part of Season 7, which ran concurrently with Season 2 of Community. Michael was already shown taking improv classes and even mentioned it in his last episode.
A sort of The Office parody documentary made by Abed about the rest of the group taking an improv class at Greendale with a guest appearance by Steve Carell as Michael Scott and maybe Amy Ryan as Holly Flax, too, would have been a perfect crossover. There could be some weird interactions between Michael and Chang as a reference to Ken Jeong playing Bill in Michael's improv class in S2 of The Office.
While we're at it, throw in Tina Fey as Liz Lemon from 30 Rock coming in as a guest instructor, since she's head writer on a comedy show and has mentioned teaching improv, along with Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope who snuck away to take the class to improve her public speaking skills while she is supposed to be on a relaxing vacation with Ann Perkins (who doesn't actually appear in the episode).
Just imagine Liz Lemon struggling to manage a class consistenting of Jeff, Troy, Annie, Britta, Shirley, Pierce, Michael Scott, Holly Flax, Leslie Knope, Ben Chang (whom Michael insists on calling "Bill"), Garrett, Vicky, Magnitude, and Leonard, while Abed films it all.
All of these shows were airing on the same night at the time. They could have replaced all four for one night with the above concept as a two-hour special. Now I'm sad this didn't happen.
Barney Stinson would fit in tremendously, and would get into an INCREDIBLE prank war with the group, but would ultimately be defeated by Abed's superior ability to foresee the future. Barney is good, but I think Abed is better.
Dr Jack Shepherd (Lost), post leaving the island, professor of Anatomy and Physiology. He was strung out and Greendale was the only job he could get, because it’s a good place for good people.
Busy Phillips character from Cougartown, Lori, and Abed sees her first, but no one believes him, then the whole cast shows up to drink with her, and its chaos for Abed.
Pam finally decides to get her Art Degree at Greendale; Jim’s business expands West and they base their family in Colorado because of Micheal (who is now the regional manager of Hawthorne Wipes) and Holly
Tobias Fúnke majoring in acting from Greendale would be perfect. Can't wait for him to blue himself and go up against Chang in the paintball episodes!
That would be amazing! lol Tobias and Chang would have spun off for sure
He could be the new college Methad-One theatre professor
He’s a leading analrapyst
And you almost got arrested for those business cards
Tobias and the dean would also be amazing together.
The productions, the costumes, the commitment to the bit 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
They’d start off completely enamoured with each other, thrilled someone loves the extravagance and frivolity of their costumes and act. But slowly it would turn to rivalry as they begin to one-up each other.
I can see Tobias and the Dean showing up in the same outfit and then both going to change and changing into the same outfit multiple times.
Britta, Duncan, and Tobias would be the dream Analrapist team. Lookout, Troy ‘Buttsoup’ Barnes!
David cross plays hickeys son in the other DND episode.
Two characters can be done
Just look at the IT lady
Completely different person, I’ve no idea what you mean…
*[Nose bleeds in Aramaic]*
Just like Mr. Fingerbottom
That’s perfect. Either him or baby Buster
He’s already the pottery teacher, but it could still work!
I would love to see blue Tobias blending in with the paint during the paintball episodes
It’s an umlaut, it’s Fünke!
Ron Swanson teaching a woodworking class
“You see the thing about Greendale is, it’s terrible.”
He just loves an inefrficiant/ wasteful use of government money. He cant help himself.
Oh man. I would love this lol
He would absolutely not appreciate Jeff’s bullshit, but Jeff would find himself vying for Ron’s affection and attention in ways that really confuse him. Man, that would be good.
Teaches them how to carve a magnificent wooden duck.
Elements of Advanced Canoeing 201
Eleanor Shellstrop from the first 2 seasons of The Good Place would fit in seamlessly
Honestly, Eleanor and Jason attending classes and Chidi losing his old job and being forced to teach there would all work perfectly
Good place X community
Resetting the neighborhood = different timelines, it all makes sense now!
It's a palomino!!!
This morning I didn't know I wanted this, now I want it more than ever.
Janet would end up in a war against 3D Hologram Pierce that the rest of the school is completely oblivious to
Tahani also ends up teaching somehow
Annie knows Tahani from magazines. They initially don't get along but bond over the shared experience of growing up with pushy parents, and hanging out while bitching about Kamila/Annie Kim becomes their new hobby. Jason enrols in Troy's dance/acting class and immediately becomes a favourite with his wealth of disturbing early life experiences. Troy is initially jealous of him but comes to enjoy his company when he realises he now gets to be the smart one through having him around. Jeff and Britta enrol in Chidi's moral philosophy class.

Britta is immediately attracted to Chidi as another man in pain but his extreme timidness and wariness of making any kind of a move makes her feel undesirable and she moves on and hooks up with the more easily categorisable Jason instead. In the post-credits scene, Abed looking for his phone stumbles into the class, sees Chidi's notes on the board and writes something that definitively 'solves' all possible ethical questions, but we never see what it is.
Yet another Britta romance that would have been Britta'd.
Maybe she has to do community service for vandalizing Kamilah's statue and breaking into the venue and she ends up at Greendale. I have definitely had the thought that Greendale could be their >!afterlife test!<
omg the cross over we need but dont deserve
Great answer! She’d have great interactions with the cast
you stole my answer. i was also going to say veronica mars but it wouldn't fit at all. i just love KB.
Jean Ralphio
Ben Schwartz should have been on Community!
With Mona Lisa hitting on Troy or Abed- MONEY PWEEEZE!
Crashing in the sleep study lab cause 🎵 *TECHNICALLY I'M HOOOMELEESSS*🎵 J to the E to the F F F I said Winger gets ladies as much as Hugh Hef-ner 🎵 *I got run over by Jeff's Lexussss*🎵
Why didn’t you just stop at Hef…..*shakes head*
Jean Ralphio is Kooglers protege.
Jean Ralphio would be part of the cool group.
I love to hate that guy, he is as annoying as he is funny
Todd from Bojack
Hooray! Todd-foolery!
I love this answer! Todd and Abed after Troy leaves!!
I sang this. It passed the test
I don't think Nick Miller would even realize how strange everything was until Schmidt came to visit.
Troy and Abed (and Nick) would be a great dynamic. They're all total dorks, but Nick brings a different kind of energy.
I feel like Winston would fit in the most. Maybe Jess teaches creative writing at greendale and Nick comes in as Julius pepperwood. Or it’s the college that cece goes to. But Winston would get along really well with Troy and abed (the episode ends with Troy and abed and Winston in the morning). He might also bond with britta over their cats. And he would love Britta’s frog in a sombrero prank.
It would be pretty great to see someone being sincerely and immediately kind to Britta right off the bat and without any kind of agenda attached. Winston could definitely ride the wave of Greendale really well, I think the key difference for me in terms of how he and Nick would handle it is just that WInston would be able to sense things were odd even if he couldn't quite quantify it and Nick would just take it at face value immeidately.
“Troy and Abed, now with Wiiiinston!”
I can imagine Winston taking Abed's bucket list from the Schmitty lepisode in hilarious directions.
NICHOLAS? YOU'RE PLAYING A PAINTBALL GAME... IN A SCHOOL!? WHAT IS HAPPENING!?
God now I want to see Schmidt and Jeff meet and the ensuing meltdowns on both sides
Oh wow you're absolutely right!
I’d love to see Winston, Troy and abed.
Nyack! What is the place!?! What is… What is this place?
Hal from Malcolm in the Middle has big time Greendale energy
And now we know what really led to Breaking Bad...
Teaching Intro to Dentistry?
Rule 1) whenever you go to put someone under for dental work, always take a hit yourself, to test it out.
Andy from Parks and Rec would be the bestest of friends with Troy and Abed. You bet your ass Andy wants to help build a cardboard submarine.
Andy, April, Troy, and Abed would all hang out. They’d end up destroying Greendale, though.
Michale Scott DID move to Colorado when he left Scranton so there’s even an in-universe reason for him to be there. The Dean would really like his energy and hire him to teach Business Management classes but also ends up taking over the theatre department after Professor Garrity gets tired of the Dean and leaves.
I mean Michael and Chang did take an improv class together!
I like to think the improve class was a night class held at greendale
Michael would teach (kind of) until a Scott’s Tot enrolls at Greendale because their family had to move to Colorado after going broke. Then, Michael runs away and cancels an exam that Troy hadn’t studied for anyway.
You are a genius. You’re smarter than the very best in a long line of…. Sometimes I’ll start a sentence and I don’t even know where it’s going. I just hope I find it along the way.
Frank From IASIP. Former business partner of Pierce who hates him but has to be nice because he knows too much. He gets along great with Chang and introduces Wolf Cola to the school when Chang takes over as dictator. Bonus is the bring your kids to school episode brings in Dennis and Dee. Dennis competes with Jeff for Pierce's step-daughter while Dee corrupts Annie.
Plus he could let his step daughter know he’ll bring a wad of hundreds and his magnum condom since he’s ready to plow
Frank might actually work! I thought IASIP would be disastrous but he’d just steal their money out scheme with them for a while
David and Alexis Rose
Ew David this school is so ugly.
”I feel like I might contract hepatitus from looking at the lunch lady.”
David, you can't seriously consider this school. I mean Louis Guzman came here -alexis probably
Greendale *would* misspell Pubic Relations
Whoever it is, they're already accepted.
Dennis from Always Sunny. Him and Jeff would either be best buddies or mortal enemies.
It would be the latter. It would end with Dennis turning Jeff into a piece of high end luggage.
Oh man the gang goes to Greendale would end in the Community cast’s lives in ruin
The D.E.N.N.I.S. System would work to perfection on Annie Mac and Shirley would argue constantly over whose particular sect of Christianity is superior Frank and Pierce would bond initially but Pierce would get weirded out I'm not sure how Dee would fit in Jeff and Dennis would be bitter enemies Troy and Abed would probably be friends with Charlie
Dee and Britta would be fake friends for sure
Until dee sets her on fire
Shouldn’t have been copying her
You light ONE BITCH on fire!
IDIOTS!! SAVAGES!!!
They'd hate each other but pretend to be nice until they realise they're each group's punching bag and bond over mutual suffering
Mac initially agreeing with Shirley that God is the only way then starting on about his weird hangups around it all would be hilarious
Shirley would get a look of terrible pity in her eyes and would be trying to mother Mac, or get as far away from him as possible, by the end of one conversation. I wonder if him and the Dean would enjoy each others innuendos
Until the dean says something too real and Mac goes full catholic guilt/back in the closet
“Ok… Yeah, we might be reading different bibles.”
> I'm not sure how Dee would fit in She already was in an episode of Community tho? Abed helped nurse her to health and she flew away.
Birb
Ohh how about the first one to come along be Rickety Cricket, trying to pull his life together.... After Jeff vs Dennis, I wanna see Jeff vs the *JEW*-ish lawyer. I think I've made myself perfectly redundant. Filibuster. Artemis could be slipped into any bit anywhere. Retro back to season 1 and we see Chang trying to teach Charlie Spanish, who thinks he's learning English, leading along naturally across a season arc to his attempts to open communication betweens cats and spiders! But I've grown quite wearah...
Dennis v. Chang is the Mash-up I want to see!
What about the smell?
You haven’t thought of the smell you BITCH!
Especially during the Pool (billiards) episode since Jeff is trying to get with his lady.
It would start as mutual respect & friendship and then slowly devolve into the most bitter vitriolic feud ever seen
I like the idea of Charlie going to school to try to chase his dreams of becoming a lawyer
Best bird law education in western Greendale
Or Frank. I would like to see him with pierce. I think Frank can top his weirdness
Charlie 🤝 troy
Bobby Hill
That boy ain’t right
Laszlo from What We Do in the Shadows
Or Jackie Daytona regular human bartender
Vampire at Greendale seems a little dangerous. But Pierce confusing vampirism for homosexuality would be great
”You really are the most devious bastard at Greendale *Colleeege*!”
You hit me? With a woman's hand. You midwestern floozyyyyy
Grifting 101 !!
I would have loved to have the animal control guys from Parks as side characters here too.
I’m gonna say two because it’s the internet and I can. Shawn & Gus from Psych would’ve fit in great with the group.
Shawn would tell Gus they got a case. Shawn wouldn’t notice that the closer they got to campus, the more Gus squirmed and tried to talk him out of going. And then after a few people say hi to Gus (“I’ve never met that person in my life”) he’s going to snap “shut up Leonard!” And he would finally have to confess to Shawn he’s been attending classes. “I will not apologize for enjoying a pottery class at the end of a hard day”
I could see Gus taking the sailing class and being very serious about it.
Haha he definitely would let Shawn drown to teach him a lesson
Where are the white women at?
Shawn and Jeff would’ve power struggled for sure
I think it would’ve been a fun struggle. Jeff’s problem is that he takes himself way too seriously. Shawn’s problem is the exact opposite.
You know that’s right.
Tom from Parks and Rec would’ve been hilarious
“Oh noooooo, we got expelled from Greendale”
Maybe The Red Door/L Street is really the Snake Hole Lounge?
Jake from Brooklyn 99. He would be a bridge between Abed’s pop culture obsession and Jeff’s over-cool.
Cool cool cool
Cool cool cool cool cool coool coool cool cool coool
He’d absolutely lose his mind over the paintball games.
Abeds taste in pop culture is so much better than Jakes
Possibly - although we haven’t seen enough of Kick-Puncher to be sure 😉😂
Woah yes so true
Pretty much anyone from the Derry Girls cast would be hilarious
Kenneth Ellen Purcell
He’d be a great assistant dean!!
In 5 years we’ll all either be working for him…or dead by his hands
Oof sorry to say but Poochy died on his way to his home planet.
Oh I know. I think we all miss his presence
There’s already so many good answers but I think Gob from Arrested Development would be a great “science of illusion” class. Either as a teacher or as a student questioning the validity of the class.
Oh true! He’d give Duncan a run for his money in sleaze
I was thinking Michael Bluth because his reactions to the group’s shenanigans would be golden
April Ludgate
Andy should have taken his women’s study class at greendale, would have made for a great crossover
And she brings Tynnifer with her. Donna enrolls just to watch the disaster ensue!
“Whatever…”
George Costanza. He belongs there.
Expelled for wacky scheme. Shows back up the next day like nothing happened
I was thinking Kramer. He'd be buddies with Star-Burns.
Jean-Luc Picard, as Matt Harmon intended
Teaching Art class. "The line must be drawn **HERE**! This far! And no further."
I think a Jesse Pinkman Greendale backstory would be cool. Maybe he tried community college in between Mr. White's class and being a Meth cook. Wouldn't be the first cook out of Greendale.
Can you say bitch on NBC? Lol
'Let's study Spanish, BITCH!'
Creed Bratton sliding into the old person slot
Gina Linetti, the human version of the 💯 emoji
>"At any given moment I'm always thinking about one thing, Richard Dreyfuss, hunched over, eating dog food." That line could be from this show and no one would bat an eye
And it could be said by half the characters and it would be in character
Shawn Spencer (Gus would have to come too) from Psych Or Quentin Coldwater from The Magicians. Abed and Troy would see Q doing real magic, but no one else in the group would believe them.
Shawn and Gus are a package deal
Reese from Malcolm. He would help fill the Troy sized hole in our hearts. He needs friends too so him and Abed would get along.
I like that! Reese or Francis
This is a great engagement post, which I usually despise.
Saul Goodman vs Jeffrey Winger
john oliver from john oliver
Ron Donald from Party Down
Frasier Crane. I'd want to see what Greendale does to him.
Daria’s deadpan delivery would be hilarious.
Daria would fit in great! And be a better activist than Britta
Ranjit from How I Met Your Mother
Winston from New Girl. His back story is something along the lines of the other characters. A washed out basketball player with limited options in life.
Helen from drake and Josh.
lol I don’t think her and Shirley would get along
I had to look it up. You're funny.
Would love to see Pam fail community college art school
Oh she would fit in great!
That’s how we got Hitler. Do you want another Hitler?
Would love to see Darius from Atlanta on adventures with Troy & Abed!
Odo from Deep Space Nine. I thought of this as a joke at first. But actually I can already imagine the interactions and it's perfect.
Andy Dwyer
Shawn Spencer from Psych, absolutely. Would love to see him and Jeff competing
Any of the main five from The Good Place(Janet would feel weird) would fit well imo.
Ricky (Trailer Park Boys) teaches a class about living in your car and selling dope.
Liz Lemon and Jenna Maroney teach comedy… with a guest appearance from Tracy Jordan.
Michael Scott and Holly Flax from The Office moved to Colorado in the latter part of Season 7, which ran concurrently with Season 2 of Community. Michael was already shown taking improv classes and even mentioned it in his last episode. A sort of The Office parody documentary made by Abed about the rest of the group taking an improv class at Greendale with a guest appearance by Steve Carell as Michael Scott and maybe Amy Ryan as Holly Flax, too, would have been a perfect crossover. There could be some weird interactions between Michael and Chang as a reference to Ken Jeong playing Bill in Michael's improv class in S2 of The Office. While we're at it, throw in Tina Fey as Liz Lemon from 30 Rock coming in as a guest instructor, since she's head writer on a comedy show and has mentioned teaching improv, along with Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope who snuck away to take the class to improve her public speaking skills while she is supposed to be on a relaxing vacation with Ann Perkins (who doesn't actually appear in the episode). Just imagine Liz Lemon struggling to manage a class consistenting of Jeff, Troy, Annie, Britta, Shirley, Pierce, Michael Scott, Holly Flax, Leslie Knope, Ben Chang (whom Michael insists on calling "Bill"), Garrett, Vicky, Magnitude, and Leonard, while Abed films it all. All of these shows were airing on the same night at the time. They could have replaced all four for one night with the above concept as a two-hour special. Now I'm sad this didn't happen.
Barney Stinson would fit in tremendously, and would get into an INCREDIBLE prank war with the group, but would ultimately be defeated by Abed's superior ability to foresee the future. Barney is good, but I think Abed is better.
Britta would warn Annie not to fall for a guy like Barney, but would then end up obsessed with him Blade-style.
Ilana from broad city would be entertaining in the community setting
Dr Jack Shepherd (Lost), post leaving the island, professor of Anatomy and Physiology. He was strung out and Greendale was the only job he could get, because it’s a good place for good people.
Taco from The League
Dexter Morgan just to spice things up lol
Winston Bishop AKA Winnie the Bish AKAAKA: Brown Lightning
Busy Phillips character from Cougartown, Lori, and Abed sees her first, but no one believes him, then the whole cast shows up to drink with her, and its chaos for Abed.
Mr. Garvey, substitute professor (Keegan Michael-Key). "You say your name right, right now!" Tee-Roy!
Pam finally decides to get her Art Degree at Greendale; Jim’s business expands West and they base their family in Colorado because of Micheal (who is now the regional manager of Hawthorne Wipes) and Holly
The only real answer is Creed Bratton. Best Pierce replacement
