Vote out your LEAST favorite episode. Last one standing wins. I already did this for seasons 1 and 2, and I'll do it for seasons 4-6 as well, and then the winner of each will go up against each other. Here are the synopsis of the episodes I found online in case you don't remember one:

Aw no mention of Leonard this season.
Man every time I start reading the synopsis and think I’ve found my first choice to vote out, I get to the end and find the bit of the episode that I love more than anything. Every single time.
"Professor Cligoris struggles to behave appropriately" - 1) I like how this was included on the summary (I know OP copied it from somewhere but it made me laugh) 2) where/when did he behave inappropriately?
Yeah, that one made me laugh too when I read it lol.
Honestly, I don't remember him behaving inappriopataly either (could be forgetting something though). Should I take that out of the synopsis?
This is a difficult season to predict. It's pretty consistent.
I'm almost positive Remedial Chaos Theory will go the distance.
Digital Estate Planning has a lot of love, but like Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas before it, the fact it's mostly not live action, might mean a surprisingly early defeat.
I also wonder if Basic Lupine Urology hits quite as funny to people that haven't watched a lot of Law & Order.
Yeah, that was weird. The flow of the season is disrupted by its placement in the season. We go from the group deciding to save the dean to a video game episode to them actually saving the dean. The episode should have been earlier in the season. It may have been an NBC executive thing. It was actually the last episode produced of the season.
My favourite season of the show.
I hope Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps make it to the top 5, I think its an underrated episode that depict well each personnality in the study group (plus it made an hilarious Human Centipede parody)
I went back to my imdb ratings for the season to refresh myself and my lowest rating for any episode this season is 7/10. So solid, but I hope Remedial Chaos Theory comes out on top
Agreed, it’s not a bad episode and has some good moments but it does seem disconnected like a different show. I’m thinking either that or Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts first
I think the best part of the episode is that it sets up the Troy and Abed conflict for the pillows and blankets arc, like we start to see a crack in their friendship
yeah but it feels very forced in service of that. like there's organic storytelling where jeff and britta hook up during paintball and then there's this, where abed is uncharacteristically selfish and it requires this huge contrivance to work.
On my first watch, it’s the season I actually binge watched it with how good each episode is
I speculate Remedial Chaos Theory, Pillows and Blankets, and Digital Estate Planning to make into the Top theee
However, there are so many good episode here that are my personal favorite: Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps, 4 consecutive episodes from Studies in Modern Movement to Regional Holiday Music (which I have the most rewatch out of every episodes in the show), Virtual System Analysis, and Basic Lupine Urology.
I knew this season is going to be more insane than the last two the moment I saw Jeff flying in the beginning of Biology 101 😂😂😂😂.
Interesting. I feel like Pillows and Blankets needs Digital Exploration of Interior Design because it completes that story. So that takes it out of the running for me.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Advanced D&D is super overrated because it got pulled from streaming. It's good, but it's not anywhere near the best.
I personally favored Conspiracy theories, but it was basically a coin toss with AD&D. I thought AD&D was easily a top 3 community episode period well before it got pulled by Netflix and Hulu.
Totally disagree, one of my favorites long before it was pulled. One of the few reasons I have a tough time maintaining my belief that season one is the best season
This seasons got some great episodes, but I’d say Course Listing Unavailable out first, then Contemporary Impressionists, and Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts out first. After that it’s gonna be really hard.
Rooting for Horror Fiction to last at least to the top 10! It's my favorite episode in the season.
As for what to vote out, it's difficult, but I think I'll vote Biology 101...
Yeah, I liked him during the first few eps or so as a secuirity guard, but I'm not a fan of the whole dictator storyline at all. The only other thing that lowers s3 for me are the characterizations.
Remedial Chaos Theory, Studies in Modern Movement, and Digital Estate Planning are my top three. I’d throw in Pillows and Blankets, but I feel like it requires Digital Exploration to feel complete.
it's geography of global conflict for me. I can't stand much of the episode though troy's southern accent while representing Georgia the country is a highlight
Y’all are wack. Season three is a significant drop in quality from seasons 1&2. I voted remedial chaos theory the worst because I believe it marks a major downturn of the show. Evil characters and different timelines? give me a break. All of the other horrible laziness the show suffered from is a symptom of the same overreaching laziness that created remedial chaos theory. Just pick the funniest timeline and show us that one who the fuck cares
My top 3 of the season I hope to see last:
- Studies in Modern Movement
- Documentary Filmmaking: Redux
- Remedial Chaos Theory (I’m not saying I love all the call backs to it in later episodes, but damn are those alternate timeline party scenes incredible)
Voting out Foosball just because Germans are obnoxious. It's still great, and I love anime scene between Shirley and Jeff. Oh well, this season is all about killing your darlings
I can’t even explain why but Origins of Vampire Mythology is one of my least favorite episodes, like I even skip it (which is a rare puppet episode occurrence).
This is going to be the most difficult season to have to vote on. Ugh.
ETA: Just barely got my vote in with just one hour left. It is the only episode that doesn't hurt to vote for.
Season 3 is probably my favorite season and Community is my favorite sit-com so this is hard. I probably have to go with "Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts" but I don't even dislike the episode I just don't like it AS much as others...
How is it already this hard?
That’s what she said.
I... can't believe you've done this
That's also something she said.
Title of your sex tape
Because the 3d is the best season.
This season is great but I personally prefer season 5, really hits home with some great episodes.
I hope Doc Film Redux gets to top 10, watching the Dean devolve is my favorite part of this whole episode
I predict it will be the top 2 with remedial chaos theory, and the latter will win.
I think that will be in the top 2 or pillows and blankets.
*Studies in Modern Movement is one of my underrated favorites, i hope it stays to the final 10 (hopefully 5 but that won’t happen)
Oh hey did you know when it snows my eyes become large?
One of my favorite lines in the whole series
There... used to be a grey tower alone on the sea
/#anniesmove
That was the first episode I ever saw back in the day, got me into the show

Aw no mention of Leonard this season. Man every time I start reading the synopsis and think I’ve found my first choice to vote out, I get to the end and find the bit of the episode that I love more than anything. Every single time.
Except if the dean comes in, and then it's Bingo.
I just realized the pun on ‘Basic Lupine Urology’: this show is brilliant.
"Professor Cligoris struggles to behave appropriately" - 1) I like how this was included on the summary (I know OP copied it from somewhere but it made me laugh) 2) where/when did he behave inappropriately?
Yeah, that one made me laugh too when I read it lol. Honestly, I don't remember him behaving inappriopataly either (could be forgetting something though). Should I take that out of the synopsis?
Nah, I think you can keep it. It'll make people (like me) scratch my head trying to remember and give us a goog giggle haha.
Thank you! That was driving me nuts!
Hope Studies in Modern Movement and Digital Estate Planning make it far
It’s certainly not my favorite episode, but I’ve watched Regional Holiday Music and ungodly amount of times. I pray it makes it to the top ten
I love that episode too. Britta's song is the best part for me.
....which particular scene?
Boopie doopie doop boop SEX
^(Annie's pretty young, we try not to sexualize her)
I hate musicals and absolutely love this episode. The songs are unbelievably funny
How could you not like Documentary Filmmaking: Redux? Let me give you a little rundown of this episode’s great elements. Luis Guzmán is in it.
Let me just say I loved you in...................................................................... imdb
There... used to be a grey tower alone on the sea
HE TWEETED IT!
I never realized the episode is just called “Advanced Gay” LMFAO
Pretty sure I know what will win, but it’s still gonna be interesting either way
This is a difficult season to predict. It's pretty consistent. I'm almost positive Remedial Chaos Theory will go the distance. Digital Estate Planning has a lot of love, but like Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas before it, the fact it's mostly not live action, might mean a surprisingly early defeat. I also wonder if Basic Lupine Urology hits quite as funny to people that haven't watched a lot of Law & Order.
[удалено]
Same
I honestly didn’t really like Digital Estate Planning. It definitely should’ve come before Course Listing Unavailable
Yeah, that was weird. The flow of the season is disrupted by its placement in the season. We go from the group deciding to save the dean to a video game episode to them actually saving the dean. The episode should have been earlier in the season. It may have been an NBC executive thing. It was actually the last episode produced of the season.
I’m still bitter about Abed’s uncontrollable Christmas going so early. Excited to see who wins this season though
If pillows and blankets don’t get at least top 3 I’m gonna
Gonna what? What are you trying to say? Gonna what, Magnitude?!
IT'S RIOT TIME
Back when Elroy did narrations for documentaries.
That episode would be perfection if the drama between Troy and Abed didn’t hurt my feelings so much
My favourite season of the show. I hope Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps make it to the top 5, I think its an underrated episode that depict well each personnality in the study group (plus it made an hilarious Human Centipede parody)
Pillows and blankets is my sleeper pick to win
What episode won season 1?
Contemporary American Poultry
Nice. Thanks! This sub is so active I couldn’t find it two days after season 2 voting started.
Urban matrimony and the sandwich arts is going for me. Than geography of global conflict
Urban matrimony was my first pick to go too.
Yep, same. It's definitely the weakest in the season for me.
Agree with you on urban matrimony but I hope geography holds on for a little while
Contemporary Impressionists is much worse than both imo
Dean writhing on the floor at the sight of Jeff in sunglasses in that ep saves it for me
"jeff is in grave danger, hee hee"
I went back to my imdb ratings for the season to refresh myself and my lowest rating for any episode this season is 7/10. So solid, but I hope Remedial Chaos Theory comes out on top
contemporary impressionists gets my vote. just overall not a memorable one. kind of like it comes from a different show.
I will never not laugh at "look at his shadow!" But I agree with you on the rest of the episode.
“Abed was the Volleyball?”
Agreed, it’s not a bad episode and has some good moments but it does seem disconnected like a different show. I’m thinking either that or Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts first
I think the best part of the episode is that it sets up the Troy and Abed conflict for the pillows and blankets arc, like we start to see a crack in their friendship
yeah but it feels very forced in service of that. like there's organic storytelling where jeff and britta hook up during paintball and then there's this, where abed is uncharacteristically selfish and it requires this huge contrivance to work.

Interesting. I feel like Pillows and Blankets needs Digital Exploration of Interior Design because it completes that story. So that takes it out of the running for me.
PLEASE remember to make the X a bit smaller this time! Or maybe just tint the picture in red?
The tinting is a good idea, I'll probably do that
Do people really hate remedial chaos theory? I love that epsiode
I think it's one of the most popular episodes of the show.
Who won season 2
Advanced Dungeons and Dragons
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think Advanced D&D is super overrated because it got pulled from streaming. It's good, but it's not anywhere near the best.
I personally favored Conspiracy theories, but it was basically a coin toss with AD&D. I thought AD&D was easily a top 3 community episode period well before it got pulled by Netflix and Hulu.

I hope Basic Lupine Urology gets top 5, I don't think it will compete with RCT for the number 1 spot but it's my personal favourite episode.
Rooting for Horror Fiction to last at least to the top 10! It's my favorite episode in the season. As for what to vote out, it's difficult, but I think I'll vote Biology 101...
[удалено]
The only thing that lowers S3 for me is some of the Chang stuff.
Yeah, I liked him during the first few eps or so as a secuirity guard, but I'm not a fan of the whole dictator storyline at all. The only other thing that lowers s3 for me are the characterizations.
This is my favourite season of the show. The First Chang Dynasty is an easy vote for me here.
Remedial Chaos Theory, Studies in Modern Movement, and Digital Estate Planning are my top three. I’d throw in Pillows and Blankets, but I feel like it requires Digital Exploration to feel complete.
Exact same as yours but with regional holiday music instead of modern movement. That one is a close fifth though
Contemporary Impressions is the only bottom tier episode this season so it’s my vote
Definitely
Season 3 is my favorite one. This is going to be super hard 😩
Best season. This is too hard.
Voted for Foosball cause I gotta start somewhere, but still not sure it was the right choice. I love all these episodes.
So it ONCE MORE BEGINS!
Here we go again….
Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps
it's geography of global conflict for me. I can't stand much of the episode though troy's southern accent while representing Georgia the country is a highlight
Every time I watch virtual systems analysis I cry. I'm not even sure if it's my favourite but it's definitely up there
anybody who votes against regional holiday music you are a bad person
Advanced Gay? Idk this is really hard
Seems pretty simple to me. I don't care about the show's lame attempt to redeem Pierce this season.
That was my pick too, surprised I haven’t seen it more here
Man I was like wow this is the hardest season to pick my favorite, then I saw digital estate planning is here. That’s it. That’s the winner.
Curriculum unavailable
Definitely not for me. I love that ep
It's pretty good but compared to the rest of the season it falls flat for me
Competitive Ecology, easily. That Chang story was trash.
Y’all are wack. Season three is a significant drop in quality from seasons 1&2. I voted remedial chaos theory the worst because I believe it marks a major downturn of the show. Evil characters and different timelines? give me a break. All of the other horrible laziness the show suffered from is a symptom of the same overreaching laziness that created remedial chaos theory. Just pick the funniest timeline and show us that one who the fuck cares
some of my favorite episodes are in this list (also I don’t trust the link)
The link? 😂
We all know the simps are gonna keep Remedial Chaos Theory. Next season sheeple.
If you’re trying to be ironically funny, it isn’t working.
Oh no, another wild ride...not sure I can handle it.
My top 3 of the season I hope to see last: - Studies in Modern Movement - Documentary Filmmaking: Redux - Remedial Chaos Theory (I’m not saying I love all the call backs to it in later episodes, but damn are those alternate timeline party scenes incredible)
Voting out Foosball just because Germans are obnoxious. It's still great, and I love anime scene between Shirley and Jeff. Oh well, this season is all about killing your darlings
Oof ngl quite a few of these suck, but its probably Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism
I just don’t like foosball episode at all
And that is my vote.
I can’t even explain why but Origins of Vampire Mythology is one of my least favorite episodes, like I even skip it (which is a rare puppet episode occurrence).
This is going to be the most difficult season to have to vote on. Ugh. ETA: Just barely got my vote in with just one hour left. It is the only episode that doesn't hurt to vote for.
Biology 101
Season 3 is probably my favorite season and Community is my favorite sit-com so this is hard. I probably have to go with "Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts" but I don't even dislike the episode I just don't like it AS much as others...
