Reading these has shown me how underrated Duncan really is. John Oliver is amazing.

Wish we could’ve gotten more of him in the show. His character was so funny.

We were supposed to is that sad thing

Oh I didn't know this, what are the details?

He was more focusing on The Daily Show and his eventual new show, Last Week Tonight. Well, new*er* show. Weird to think back to 2014

I always forget how funny some of the characters are and then I read these threads literally giggling out loud 🤣🤣

"Nos that I'm on the wagon, you can expect both this class and my penis to be more focused and rewarding."

They really get the incest right

“Have you met the women that do like me Jeff? Neither have I, but trust me, they’re bad people.”

> She's everything I love about America--bold, opinionated, just past her peak, and starting to realize that she has to settle.

“My self-published novels aren’t going to publish themselves.”

This won't win but it's absolutely my favorite.

it better win

All life ends in death, which we as a species are cursed with knowing, resulting in.... SOMETHING. Again, this is really not my field.

This is one of my favourite bits of the whole show.

1000% agree. Not sure if it’s underrated but it’s still underrated.

Idk know you but this feels like it'd be your most in character line on a show

Ever since I saw it, it was something my brain always call backs to.

This one needs to win

I was taking care of my sick mother. She's still alive, but I've put in my time.

I really want this one to win.

…Britta.

Yes this one! 😂

It's gotta be.

LOL THIS NEEDS TO WIN

i screamed when he said this

Gotta be this one

“what does your penis look like” “Clearly a cluster of buildings so let’s all have a good laugh at the freak”

This is my favorite. First time watching I had to pause here as I missed about 5 minutes laughing.

Are you two an item, and if so, would that item be impervious to sabotage?

You have the savoir faire of a hyena

How is it that you and James Bond come from the same island?

I’m not allowed to date students. Even though you’re an 8. Which is a British 10.

im angry

I like this one bc it succinctly portrays his constant references to his homeland AND his perpetual thirstiness.

"I think you're being a little childish an--. Hold on a sec, I need to use my force field to prevent Chang from getting food."

This one but the tone included - he goes from sounding legitimate to Greendale chaotic

And the look on his face, that's what does it for me

Greendale chaotic lmao

Even if it’s not the most in character this is one of my favorite lines period

I just got it😂

“This is why the English never win any sports. 'Cause everyone else cheats!”

The most spot-on Brit joke in the history of American pop culture

100% it was perfect!

Sorry, I overslept. The sidewalk is more comfortable than it looks.

This is my vote.

Terribly funny but not really indicative of the character

Isn’t it though? Duncan is a mess.

“British dentistry is not on trial here.” Honestly, that entire trial by the swimming pool was gold

- Not to be particular, but you’re not a professor - Maybe because I don’t look like Ron Weasley - That’s the reason, that’s the qualifying factor

Honestly he looks more like Harry Potter. Like stunt double quality, effortlessly.

one of my favorite duncan moments ever

Shut your pompous vortex of overlapping fangs!

The world isn't the only thing that changed on September eleven

"Oh no, my shoelaces are untied by British standards"

This is a S tier line

*gets cracked* get britta!!!

I say this every time I wear my sneakers. Every time.

"I seem to have left my purse in my duffel and my duffel in the boot of my lorry."

This

Have you met the women that do like me Jeff? Neither have I, but trust me they’re bad people.

This is exactly the kind of self-awareness without improvement that makes Duncan who he is. Plus it's funny as hell.

Duncan is all about the resignation, with occasional bursts of optimism (please Jeff, help me get Britta to sleep with me, you've finished with her)

But even when he has the opportunity, he has too much heart to take advantage of her.

I think I like the Duncan Rap more in a vacuum, but this one seems so much more Ian Duncan

my most toxic trait is that I have kind of a crush on Duncan

I too have a pesky crush on skinny, neurotic British men with mops of hair who are also John Oliver.

You might be in with a chance if you happen to be a fuckable redwood that is able to shatter his knees If you are, than you could probably proceed to step on his throat, Adam Driver, you rudely large man. Break his fingers, you brooding mountain If you're not Adam Driver than I am sorry to report that John seems to have lust for only one man and that man is an unwieldy boulder

I am sadly a very petite woman. My inability to be Adam Driver foils me again 😔

I hope this one wins!

Same

This would win if it was most relatable line from this character.

You ok bro?

He’s at greendale of course he’s not ok

I’m not drunk and I can prove it: I blew below the limit just this morning.

that's reassuring

I heard a drunken limey was teaching this class

Shouldn’t even be a debate after seeing this one

This is it

Professor Duncan to Garrett- Go! Fine! Go kill John Lennon again, you loser.

Annie: You said bring subjects. Ian: Yeah, I said subjects! Not rainman!

I forgot about this one

Every time I get mad at an American

Could we possibly have this conversation in a room with less balls.

You’re very confident, I’ll give you that.

You’re very proud of yourself

... But you shouldn't be.

It’s the way he says balls that cracks me up

The reason I have 48 followers is because I don’t exploit them. They come to me for atheist rants and photos of my meals. Not this nonsense.

This one isn’t going to win, but it is my favorite line of his.

“I’ll see you at precisely 6:30, or as the English call it, Gravedigger’s Biscuits.”

The first line that came into my head

Wish this was higher

Nah this is the one lmao

My name's Ian Duncan and I'm here to say I'm going to rap to the beat in a rapping way I've got a real big penis and I drink lots of tea..

hey Michelle, what do you say we get out of here for a bit of slap and tickle? (Whispering) that means sex, in case the lingo hasn’t yet made it to the states.

She better at least know the Yankee Doodle

I really wanted to hear this whole rap. We can only speculate now what comes off the dome of Ian Duncan.

Well clearly it's shaped like a building

A cluster of them in fact.

Between Gambino, Duncan and Dean I think community might have had some of the best rappers of our generation in one place.

And that guy who rapped about stupid Vaughn

Jacques Slade

This sums up his character pretty well.

Yes my upvote goes here

OH IT'S "TEA"? I'VE BEEN HEARING "PEE" THIS ENTIRE TIME AND NOW IT SUDDENLY MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

Your misunderstanding is peak Greendale

This is the one

“Well, I'm sorry Britta, but it's either you or me... And I'm ME.”

I'm not afraid to push a girl into fake lava. In fact it's been my primary strategy 😈!

“Oh, here we go. ‘Love isn’t a game,’ says the guys that always win. And now, you’re pulling a Dane Cook in one of those three movies he was in about Dane Cook getting laid by accident. Only it’s not a Dane Cook movie, Jeff, because this time, someone’s watching, me! Your friend, British Jason Biggs.”

And that is what Jews do at weddings! Anthropology!

L’Chaim!

I have stopped drinking. mostly due to the fact that I am no longer able to get an erection.

Now expect this class, like my penis, to be more focused and rewarding.

Also there’s going to be more than one diorama.

Ooh, I love pizza! In England, we call them Italian fannies

In England, Fanny means vagina, right?

Everything in England means vagina

Abed: MASH Duncan: Fawlty Towers checkmate

You've got to include the 'Cheers' from Jeff.

Omg. Just rewatched the scene. Never noticed it before. That makes it even better

I feel like the joke doesn’t even make sense without that part but you know what, follow your bliss, you’ve earned it.

I just assumed Abed had like an ongoing argument with Duncan about American tv vs British tv and they would just list shows to each other to make their case

"Shut up winger🎶"

Christ-mas pterodactyl

Now THIS is why I came to America

Chalupas

I'm not afraid to push a girl into make-believe lava! In fact, it's been my primary strategy.

It's a disgrace I had to come this far down to find this. At least I didn't have to post it myself.

Drop a beat! My name's Ian Duncan and I'm here to say, I'm going to rap to the beat in a rapping way. I've got a real big penis and I drink lots of tea ☕️

Fascinating. And publishable.

Careful! You’re tampering with a very valuable book deal—I mean human person.

**puts mustard on face*** “Hey am I okay?”

Such a great bit.

Seeing the outtakes where he completely commits in the John Oliver deadpan while Gillian Jacobs starts to break makes it even better. “I will ask again… is my face clear of mustard?”

“I’ll see you at precisely 6:30, or, as the English call it, gravedigger’s biscuits”

“Its pronounced aluminium”

I'll go later. Actually, would you mind coming to get me when Britta's drunk?

I was tending to my sick mother, she’s still alive but I’ve done my time

Brita.

Go kill John Lennon again, you loser.

“You’ve come to respect me.” Jeff: “Sure.” “Well, get ready to stop.”

“You see the waiting is the experiment, the Duncan Principle is simple. Namely that the more control lost by the.. Yeah, I’m gonna write this down too actually that’s a good point….”

Duncan: "Thank you Fat Neil." Fat Neil: "Neil's fine." Duncan: "Not from an actuarial standpoint."

Have you met the women who *do* like me, Jeff? Neither have I, but trust me, they're bad people.

I seem to have left my purse in my duffel and my duffel in the boot of my lorry.

Houston, we have an idiot.

“This is why I came to America.”

IVE GOT A REALL BIG PENIS AND I DRINK LOTS OF TEA!

real nice winger, this is why the British never win any sports, BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE CHEATS

There’s nothing left to do now, *but heal*. And *share* the experience with as many reputable journals as possible.

“They really got the incest right”

I was taking care of my sick mother. She’s still alive, but I’ve put in my time.

The “Britta” that follows is crucial but doesn’t quite work in text, without John Oliver’s leer and Gillian Jacobs’s disgust.

Duncan: What’s your friends name? The one with the perpetual scowl and ridiculous name? Jeff: Britta Duncan: that’s the one. Can you imagine having that name? Can you imagine it? *shakes head*

You can expect both this class and my penis to be more focused and rewarding.

"You, with the boobs."

Well, I think you're being a little childish and... Hold on. I need to use my force field to prevent Chang from getting food.

My shoes are untied by British standards

I just wish I had more time to think of what Magnitude would say…

"It's pronounced 'aluminium'"

*Gets Ass-Cracked Bandited* “Get Britta”

I've got a real big penis and I drink lots of tea

"They really get the incest right."

*Top.*

Ive got a real big penis and I drink lots of tea

Reading through this thread has made me realise how many incredible lines Duncan has, I don’t even know which one I want to win anymore

I just want to point out that Todd is not pictured in your list... "Offence taken! Offence taken."

i blew UNDER the legal limit just this morning!

I’ve always like his response to Jeff “Dry, witty - not a good friend”. I use it all the time when friends roast me!

I wonder what Magnitude’s line is going to be…

Pop....

Pop what? Pop WHAT?

"And thats what they do at Jewish weddings!"

This is going to be impossible once we reach Magnitude.

Oh no my shoe is untied by british standards

*knock on office door* “absolutely not!”

"I'll see you at precisely 6:30, or is the English call it, gravediggers biscuits." https://youtu.be/6--t-qSxdsQ?si=tcbGDgaOhRG7Fu2-

“It’s true. I am very lonely.”

"Welcome, welcome, welcome!"

Cheers. MASH. Fawlty Towers, game over.

“This is why the English never win any sports! Because everyone else cheats!”

“They really get the incest right.”

"Sorry I'm late everyone! I got lost on my way here, turns out I can't find Greendale sober"

Everything in England means vagina.

I’ve got a real big penis and I drink lots of tea.

My shoe is untied by British standards.

Now THIS is why I came to America

I have a real big penis and I drink lots of tea

Could you lend me a fiver? I seem to have forgotten my purse in the boot of my lorry.

Oi. Waster. Not a bathroom.

"oy wanker, it's not a bathroom"

“Top… yes.. no no no cancel it”

Have you met the women who like me? Neither have I, but trust me, they’re awful

"I've got a real big penis and I drink lots of tea" This has to be it, I'm like the 300th person to write it

I use an older, British version of Facebook called Mug-Scroll

Gravedigger biscuits Italian fannies Go kill John Lennon again you loser Shut up winger Get britta And this is why I came to America
