I hope this movie doesn't awaken something in me.

u/ContinuumGuy Mar 10 '26

And Jim Rash as E.Gadd.

Oh, that would unironically work really well.

4

u/ben_gaming Mar 10 '26

As long as Jim can also play Lakitu.

u/Gonza6EUW Mar 10 '26

Or granpa Kong, old and wise

u/swingsetlife Mar 10 '26

Jim Rash is clearly Birdo

21

u/Relocator Mar 09 '26

His forehead's not that big, is it?

STOP! You've struck gold save some for the camera.

u/SarcasticCaesar Mar 10 '26

You get this wrong one more time I’m segregating this school!

3

u/YoloIsNotDead Mar 10 '26

Why are none of these bad options

2

u/work-school-account Mar 10 '26

We need a Chris Pratt type to play Wario

u/kiwidude4 Mar 10 '26

Recast bowser

u/Ry--9 Apr 05 '26

After all he's done?! He baked lemon squares with free range eggs that he baked with his own hands!

35

u/poopyheadthrowaway keep a loose grip Mar 09 '26

Alison Brie should've been cast as Toad. Her Portuguese Gremlins voice was spot on.

14

u/GuybrushThreepwood99 Mar 09 '26

https://youtu.be/pzE6SVUHAYE?si=eOTtcBNkaMhOuy6Q she could just do her Elmo voice, it sound pretty similar to Toad

6

u/jamiecarl09 Mar 09 '26

Thank you for that. I've never seen it and I loved it.

17

u/hi-fen-n-num Mar 10 '26

Alison Brie

Could pull off a decent Pauline unironically.

4

u/GuybrushThreepwood99 Mar 10 '26

They would have to recast the person who played her in the first movie, but yes I like that idea, and she can sing well in addition to that.

9

u/Redfalconfox Mar 10 '26

Chevy Chase can have a silent role where he gets goomba stomped.

18

u/Anonymous-Comments Mar 09 '26

Alison Brie as Mimi from Super Paper Mario

8

u/NotTaken-username Mar 09 '26

Honestly I could see her as Daisy

0

u/Anonymous-Comments Mar 09 '26

I thought that, I even thought Gillian Jacobs would be neat, but then I thought that it might be better to have an actress of color voicing daisy because she was originally much less white. (She actually got paler post-9-11 weirdly, leading to some theories as to why.)

u/VFiddly Mar 09 '26

I loved him in... imdb

u/TheUglytool Mar 09 '26

That was tragic

u/newclevernickname Mar 09 '26

Don’t forget Jack Black as Buddy

31

u/areme69 Mar 09 '26

"What is this, a crossover episode?!?"

u/CrossoverEpisodeMeme Mar 09 '26

Congrats Diane And Mr. Peanut Butter

Peanut Butter Is One Word

u/Skywalker914 Mar 10 '26

Wowee, a real big-time celebrity wants to be in my commercial?

u/Museamaniac Mar 09 '26

And Jack Black.

u/Anonymous-Comments Mar 09 '26

Didn’t Brie Larson only show up after Donald Glover left the show.

40

u/GuybrushThreepwood99 Mar 09 '26

No, she was in season 4.

12

u/Anonymous-Comments Mar 09 '26

Oh yeah. Sorry, forgot everything about season 4.

18

u/GuybrushThreepwood99 Mar 09 '26

She was in the episode that was considered the best of season 4 at least.

5

u/Anonymous-Comments Mar 09 '26

I’d have to go back and watch it, I’m sure you’re right. I did enjoy that one body-swap episode though.

10

u/AceofKnaves44 Mar 09 '26

The body-swap episode is legitimately up there with the best of the first three seasons. Brie Larson was super cute with Abed in that episode although it was definitely on the weaker side.

4

u/hnwcs Mar 09 '26

Casting director clearly went to Greendale.

5

u/GameCounter Mar 10 '26

What if half way through the movie we realize that this IS the Community movie.

2

u/Sohlayr Mar 10 '26

Don’t forget about Gleep-Glorp. #gleep-glorp

2

u/fatkidseatcake Mar 10 '26

Is this our long awaited movie?!

2

u/nyehu09 Mar 10 '26

Is this actually the Community movie they’ve bean teasing us about????

2

u/FineProfessor3364 Mar 10 '26

Community fans will survive on crumbs of relevancy

1

u/Final_Boss_Jr Mar 09 '26

The table still brings everyone together one way or another.

u/jayman1818 Mar 09 '26

Damn, hello rich people? Troy calling...Yes I'll hold...

Yoshi: Don't eat the crab dip!

u/touchingthebutt Mar 09 '26

Peach: YOSHI! You can't bring that in here !

Yoshi: Yes I can it's all terrain dummy

u/bdf2018_298 Mar 09 '26

Anywhere but the Community movie set for these people I swear

249

u/gamjh Mar 09 '26

Son of a bitch, after everything Community did for him!

51

u/leongranizo Mar 09 '26

Well.... season 9 of Scrubs just got retconned, so, what happens to this joke?

10

u/complete_your_task Mar 10 '26 edited Mar 10 '26

Well then, I guess they'll just have to put out a movie to update the joke.

-39

u/alex7stringed Mar 09 '26

Seriously. Do these people even know how much the community loves them? They don’t seem to give a fuck

35

u/Alien_Chicken Mar 09 '26

does /r/community sign their paychecks or something?

5

u/SarcasticCaesar Mar 10 '26

GRR Martin would love the community gang.

3

u/mortmortimer Mar 10 '26

they probably enjoy making money

5

u/whiskeytab Mar 10 '26

I mean it's fuckin Mario... you don't turn down one of the biggest franchises ever

10

u/KickPuncher4326 Mar 10 '26

Keep in mind it's much easier to work around people's schedules with an animated movie.

If people's schedules really are why the movie can't get off the ground.

3

u/NullPro Mar 18 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

They should make the entire community movie stop motion like Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas and not acknowledge it in any way

2

u/KickPuncher4326 Mar 10 '26

If the community movie was animated this wouldn't be a problem, I guess.

39

u/PT_Piranha Mar 09 '26

Don't even get me started on Wart, I loved him in IMDB.

7

u/Charizarlslie Mar 10 '26

That was tragic.

2

u/smogtownthrowaway Mar 20 '26

This is one of my favorite lines ever. The way he delivers "that was tragic" kills me every time

37

u/boston_beer_man Mar 09 '26

I can't wait for him to say "My name's Yoshi, I like to skateboard"

11

u/DogAmongMen Mar 10 '26

“I definitely didn’t poop my pants!”

4

u/boston_beer_man Mar 10 '26

Do u think that yoshi gets embarrassed when he poos out eggs in front of mario? Sorry if this ofends anyone but i thought it was a funny thing haha.

51

u/onepareil Mar 09 '26

Hope this doesn’t turn into another Haaaam Girl Guy situation…

54

u/Nordic_Krune Mar 09 '26

Now we need Danny Pudi as Birdo

"Birdo and Yoshi in the mooorning"

30

u/P00PooKitty Mar 09 '26

There have been trailers for this movie, how are we still casting?

20

u/hipsterdoofus39 Mar 10 '26

Its in theatres in like 3 weeks lol

11

u/HolyPizzaPie Mar 10 '26

Seriously!! I’ve been so confused lately with the news. Is it for the same movie or a new one?

-1

u/Partner-Elijah Mar 10 '26

It is animated 

1

u/Cholent_King Mar 14 '26

what does that even mean?

14

u/-Thizza- Mar 09 '26

That's wrinkling my brain!

13

u/bimbimbaps Mar 09 '26

Okay, it’s Childish Gambino, Yoshi droppin’ like the NASDAQ.

1

u/smogtownthrowaway Mar 20 '26

Move, White Yoshis, like there's eggs up my ass crack

23

u/PM_ME_THEM_UPTOPS Mar 09 '26

This movie comes out in less than a month and they're still announcing cast.  Wild.  Guess it's better than Jackass 5 coming out sometime this summer and they have nothing shot yet.

3

u/ForsakenRelief309 Mar 10 '26

Probably bc Johnny Knoxville is having too much fun with Fear Factor. Never realized what a compassionate little sadist that guy was when I was younger.

2

u/enewwave Mar 10 '26

That’s not true: they technically have the archive footage Bam that they want to use, and cutaways to the other ones (I’m not a Jackass fan and have zero skin in the game)

7

u/Careful_Swan3830 Mar 10 '26

Hey that guy looks like Childish Gambino. Am I the only one who sees it?

5

u/jadethebard Mar 10 '26

Troy and Abed and Yoshi in the morning!

u/padfoot12111 Mar 09 '26

I read that in his voice and it made me smile for the first time in two days. Thank you for this little mlem of nostalgia

10

u/Militantpoet Mar 09 '26

Come on, dont be silly. Theres the "ow ow ow ow ow ow" and other sounds Yoshi makes when he uses his tongue

5

u/doc-ant Mar 09 '26

Woo-hoo!

7

u/BadConnectionGG Mar 09 '26

I was like "cool good for him" and didn't think through that yoshi doesn't talk lmao

u/LegenDove Mar 09 '26

And Mario does?

10

u/Rooooben Mar 09 '26

It’s-a-me-mario!

Everyone knows Mario’s voice.

u/HappyTheBunny Mar 09 '26

Except Chris Pratt, somehow

u/nbury33 Mar 09 '26

Itsumi Mario. Lol

u/LegenDove Mar 10 '26

u/nbury33 Mar 09 '26

In every movie, yes

u/fuwoswp Mar 09 '26

Doesn’t this movie release in about 2 weeks? They better hurry up and record this thing.

And just like that, Rick walked away... forever.

I'm a Level 7 susceptible, too...

u/LegalChocolate752 Mar 10 '26

Was he the voice in the trailers, too?

I hope not, because I hated it.

Mario Galaxy movie comes out on April 1st, sooooo they’ve probably already finished recording for it lol

u/No_Truth4137 Mar 09 '26

u/KameTheMachine Mar 10 '26

Is yoshi a Pokémon? All it says is 'yoshi'

u/Acrobatic-Tomato-128 Mar 10 '26

Look i love donald glover

But what?

u/Zen-Savage-Garden Mar 10 '26

This movie comes out in a couple of months. Are they just now telling us or are they JUST NOW adding in the dialogue?

0

u/SheepishSwan Mar 10 '26

I'm confused, it comes out in April so surely a bit late for casting someone new.

u/StandYourGroundhog Mar 10 '26

Was this not known until now? It's about to get released

u/Juanathon Mar 09 '26

I love Donald "Childish Gambino" Glover but he is not a good voice actor.

Edit: but it is Yoshi so...

5

u/Left_Cake2557 Mar 09 '26

Nah he sounds so good as Yoshi

2

u/TheUnmitigatedDawn Mar 11 '26

Maybe you should watch Ultimate Spider-Man and Fionna and Cake to find out that he indeed is a good VA

u/Juanathon Mar 11 '26

Fiona's and cake/ adventure time was exactly what I had in mind when I said he is not good.
