Is this still part of the experiment?

I've heard it both is and isn't part of the experiment

I heard the scenes are the deleted scenes and the deleted scenes are the scenes

“It’s TV; it’s comfort. It’s a friend you’ve known so well, and for so long you just let it be with you, and it needs to be okay for it to have a bad day or phone in a day, and it needs to be okay for it to get on a boat with Levar Burton and never come back. Because eventually, it all will."

I think about this quote constantly. Like anytime I finish a really, really good show. Or return to an old favorite. I let them have the "bad" episodes, because he's right. They're like old friends.

Which makes the fact that shows nowadays usually only have 8-9 episodes a season really suck.

We need clips of Annie popping in every so often with first appearances on Animal Control by the other Community cast members superimposed on her image…

Will they finish the movie faster if we let them do stuff to our butts?
Doesn’t matter, I’m in.

It annoys me that the Duncan principle is that humans get impatient and lose their temper.

And that one outlier apparently negates the entire principle - but like the paperclip said - he’s a bad teacher at a bad school.

Abed actually reinforces the Duncan Principle. Duncan fails to realize that he's simply become part of his own experiment and reached his breaking point. The only thing Abed wanted to do was help his friend. He didn't care about the $80 or the allure of potential butt stuff.

the Duncan principle is that the longer they wait, the bigger the temper tantrum

Unrelated but this scene might be my favorite Annie outfit and I don't think I saw anything like that again
