Anyone who watches Community knows that it's a crazy show. Leaving aside the fact that the continuing chronicles of Greendale Community College eschew our sense of sitcom normalcy on a regular basis, even the more "standard" episodes find much of their humor in insanity.
Thus, it probably makes sense that Community fans are a little crazy too. Fortunately, some of those crazies are also creative geniuses. The two videos below pretty much prove this.
7 Timelines, 1 VideoIf you had the good fortune to watch the October 13 episode of
Community, you experienced the trippy brilliance of "Remedial Chaos Theory." Throughout the episode, the study group members experienced not one but seven different timelines, all created through the roll of a die.
The timelines were, of course, similar in some respects (such as Jeff bumping his head on the ceiling fan), but viewers were likely to focus on the incredible differences that occurred when one person left to get pizza.
How similar and different were the various timelines? Thanks to a YouTube user by the name of
EvilAbed (great name, by the way), we now have a video to show us. Click play below to watch all 7 of the "Remedial Chaos Theory" timelines -- at the same time.
Although the whole thing is pretty amazing (and highlights how closely-linked each timeline was to the next), my favorite bits have to be Britta's singing of "Rox..." in several consecutive timelines and the fact that the whole thing ends with Abed's "I gotta say, I hope this is the real one, 'cause I just found a nickel in the hallway."

A Community RemixTechnically, this second video isn't new to the most hardcore of
Community fans. It showed at the show's San Diego Comic-Con panel back in July, after all. But it's awesome, so why not post it here?
The video is a remix of many, many lines from the show's second season, somehow collected and made even more brilliant by
DJ Steve Porter. The end result is a musical tribute to
Community, called "Sick School." Check it out below:
How can you not love a video that includes a "Pop! Pop!" breakdown in the middle?
Community airs on Thursdays at 8pm on NBC. You really ought to watch it.
