Chevy Chase doesn’t even need to work. He’s actually the heir to a plumbing fortune and is filthy rich. Seriously, I think the idea for Pierce in the show was at least somewhat based on Chevy in real life.
This POST is streets ahead for remembering streets ahead.
That said, I feel the importing of paid-for-cameos is totally Britta-ing my dreams of extra Greendale awesomeness in Shortpacked. Can we at LEAST keep Abed and Annie?
It’s actually some genetic trait on my mother’s side. Many uncles and cousins from that side of the family with gray hair since their mid to late teens. Even some girl cousins.
I will gladly take this moment to mention that gray hairs can be colored, unlike my increasing since I was 20 amount of nonexistant hairs. Especially when you include the fact my sideburns are now turning gray (early 30s). Talk about double dose of curse.
I’m 33, and I’m looking forward to when I finally get grey hair. (Which, judging by my mother’s hair, probably won’t be until I’m 50). When they do start coming in, I wouldn’t think of coloring them! It’s your hair losing pigment until it become see-through like fiber optic cable! Magical hairs that you have to train for years before you get!
Y’know, it’s funny. Those kind of DO look like Scrubs lookalikes! Look again!
And I’ve found that ‘Community’ is one of those shows that isn’t really watched by THAT many people, but has fans that think everyone watches it. Does that make any sense, or was that just gibberish?
Generally I think it is that if you’re friends with someone who watches Community, it’s highly likely you watch Community. And if you don’t, they won’t stop until you do. It’s like peer pressure drugs awareness video, except with high quality comedy.
My twin brother keeps up with his obsession with The Office, and always looks at me like as though I’m the one with the problem.
People expect all the other people in their lives to share the same tastes, which causes for a lot of awkward moments when quoting Monty Python skits at Thanksgiving dinners.
I’ve never heard of Community. I’d seek it out, but I expect I’d be as disappointed as when I finally saw The Guild or The Office. It probably doesn’t have Batman in it.
Troy: [Abed is dressed as Batman] Can I ask you something I always wanted to ask the real Batman?
Abed: [in Batman's voice] Yeah!
Troy: Am I good looking?
Abed: You’re a very attractive young man.
Troy: I knew it!
It’s been my experience that the only people who don’t like Community are the same people who hated Scrubs and think The Big Bang Theory is brilliantly written.
Started getting grays in my early 20s. Have arm hair that’ s gray too. Ethan hiring scrubs look-alikes ain’t that bad. He could hire Richard Lewis knock offs. And they could try to sell Boku Fruit juice coolers to people.
You know, I can never stop seeing Shirley as anything other than the crazy theater manager from Drake and Josh. I know in my brain that Community is so much freaking better but I can’t replace the label dammit
Now I’m curious to see what your interpretation of Britta would look like.
Any chance you’d be willing to draw one and put it on tumblr? Pretty Please?
You know, the last panel, when compared to Ethan’s hopeful “I thought maybe I could be the J.D.” the first time this gag was done, pretty much sums up his character development.
man, i started reading this from your excellent starfire-sexism comic, and i think i might be a little bit in love, because really, community
COMMUNITY
Aww, I’m not in this set.
Unless I’m the old balding guy.
WOO BALDING
That would be Chevy Chase.
Which isn’t surprising, given how much work DOES Chevy Chase get these days?
Chevy Chase doesn’t even need to work. He’s actually the heir to a plumbing fortune and is filthy rich. Seriously, I think the idea for Pierce in the show was at least somewhat based on Chevy in real life.
I think you’re going to be in Friday’s.
Woo, white kitteh plushie in Friday’s comic!
[j/k]
Come to think of it, since I’m unemployed now, it’s kinda sad paying $300 to temporarily get a job in a comic… =(
OH WELL
i love your not-jeff
So who will Jacob hire? His past conquests?
Conquest!
Actually, I’m a bit fuzzy as to whether she still has a job at the store or not, so it’s possible my post was totally irrelevant.
As usual.
Didn’t she buy her own store across town?
*Looks it up.*
Okay, looks like she owns a bunch of stores, actually.
BACK TO IRRELEVANCY!
Brittas as in the Brittas Empire? I love that show.
britta as in the blond girl from “community”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_(TV_series)
I was way off, I was think more of the lines of The Brittas Empire.
Thank Cod. I thought I was the gonna be the only having trouble connecting the dots.
This comic is streets ahead.
This POST is streets ahead for remembering streets ahead.

But one year, he actually got the cast Amber!
Considering it’s off the air he could again. I don’t think they’re really doing much since then.
I’m so glad I watch Community enough to get this joke. And I would be either Abed or Troy.
Good timing for me – I only started watching last week.
…is it just me, or is Ethan’s hair looking gray?
ahem.
I love that last panel. xD
Troy and Abed working Retail!
I’d watch that religiously.
Troy and Abed in a Tooooooy store!
Just get Mike to hire everyone’s mom for a nickel.
he already does that on black friday, they need a break.
I’m seeing a distinct lack of pop pop in this comic.
Dumbing of Age is hoarding it.
I for one, protest Ethan’s sudden grey hairs. Makes him look WAY too old. My dad didn’t get greys like that until his fifties!
I’ve had gray hair since I was 18.
-airfox
I think your parents lied about when you born then.
Oh no! I’m older than I thought!!!!
It’s actually some genetic trait on my mother’s side. Many uncles and cousins from that side of the family with gray hair since their mid to late teens. Even some girl cousins.
-airfox
What is that supposed to mean? That my dad lied about his age? What does MY birth have to do with that? 0_o
I got my first greys when I was 13
me too…
I know plenty of people my age who wish your “doesn’t happen until 50″ mantra was true.
He needs to get possessed by a giant yellow space bug, die and be resurrected … or ask Ronnie what product to use.

I got my first gray hairs when I was 14. My hair is still predominately blond/brown but the gray has been there for 17 years now.
I’m 32 and a few grey hairs are starting to show up.
Oh, Abed looks excellent, I love his expression so much here.
Man, Ethan really Brittaed that seasonal hiring.
Heh. My thoughts exactly!
And now, as Gnoka said above, we now return you to “Troy and Abed Working Reee-tail!”
But seriously, I demand to see a Shortpacked! paintball tournament now!
But they are already here, and in uniform. Surely sending them away now would make shortpacked a major job tease?
that is one surly lookin’ Jeff Winger. It’s like he’s been hanging around Mike.
I have no idea who these people are.
That’s because you are one of the sad people who don’t even know they’re sad, because they aren’t watching Community!
Don’t feel bad, I have no idea who those people are either.
And now all I can think of is Drew playing a guitar and singing: “Breaking up with Ethan, Breaking up with the E.”
Your Jeff does look a lot like Mike. I loved that this Abed is looking out of the panel towards us, so obviously knows he’s in a comic strip
Meanwhile the next time they do inventory they’re going to find they’ve been hit with a shoplifting wave… unless they check the air vents.
So what about the cast of Breaking Bad?
Y’know, it’s funny. Those kind of DO look like Scrubs lookalikes! Look again!

These comments are great because the avatars make it look like somebody talking to themself.
That wouldn’t be a surprise if I was.

Hmm, a comic that I partially don’t get because I don’t watch some television show. Oh well.
It’s ok. It only makes you a horrible person.
I’ve never watched Community but if it’s anywhere near as good as Scrubs I’m sure I’d love it.
It’s so much better than Scrubs that it is hard to put into words, and I loved Scrubs.
I’ve never heard of Community. I’d seek it out, but I expect I’d be as disappointed as when I finally saw The Guild or The Office. It probably doesn’t have Batman in it.
Actually, it does have Batman in it.
Community S01E09 Introduction to Statistics
And, of course, Britta was recently described as being so awful she’s “the opposite of Batman.”
Damn, I meant to say S01E07. I totally Britta’d that didn’t I?
It means making a small, understandable mistake doesn’t it?
Troy: [Abed is dressed as Batman] Can I ask you something I always wanted to ask the real Batman?
Abed: [in Batman's voice] Yeah!
Troy: Am I good looking?
Abed: You’re a very attractive young man.
Troy: I knew it!
It’s been my experience that the only people who don’t like Community are the same people who hated Scrubs and think The Big Bang Theory is brilliantly written.
I love both Scrubs and Big Bang Theory, does that mean I’ll be neutral? (though I do love Scrubs more than Big Bang Theory)
Community’s use of batman has been and will always be fantastic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH_XwLZ6Y0M&feature=related
Started getting grays in my early 20s. Have arm hair that’ s gray too. Ethan hiring scrubs look-alikes ain’t that bad. He could hire Richard Lewis knock offs. And they could try to sell Boku Fruit juice coolers to people.

Scrubs = snu snu love <3 <3 <3
So I notice there’s no Dean Pelton look-a-like. I’m guessing he’s not allowed near anywhere children frequent.
Is it just Willis’ new style of colouring him, or is Ethan’s hair graying?
Now I’m curious to see what your interpretation of Britta would look like.
Any chance you’d be willing to draw one and put it on tumblr? Pretty Please?
Shame Senor Chang isn’t there too. He’d be great working a till
“Thanks for shopping, and here’s your CHANGe”.
Chang would do better in Loss Prevention, seeing as he’s recently come into being head of security of Greendale.
Chang’s already on staff. His name is Faz.
I love how crushed Ethan looks at being the Britta.
Hmm, given the choices, I’d probably be the Shirley. Not sure how to feel about that.
Any chance we can get Willis hired on the Community writing staff? A David Willis-penned episode would be the best thing ever. Ever.
Damn you Willis! and damn the J-man for having no power!
YEEEEEEEEES! >:D Willis, why are you so AWESOME?
You know, the last panel, when compared to Ethan’s hopeful “I thought maybe I could be the J.D.” the first time this gag was done, pretty much sums up his character development.
man, i started reading this from your excellent starfire-sexism comic, and i think i might be a little bit in love, because really, community
COMMUNITY
First you dis Big Bang Theory and now this? Clearly this entire comic series is an elaborate ruse to win my heart.
finally started watching community so I get it.
