The first half of the "Community" season was about the show to find its balance. Constantly testing a different character dynamics to see what works best before at the end Striking gold with Troy (Donald Glover) and Abed (Dani Pudi). By Time happened first episode of Halloween "Community"It seemed that the show completely hit its groove. The study group was now perfectly narrowly knitted, a dependent body with a convenient repertoire where the series writers could always rely on. Perhaps that is why, when Season 1 returned from the winter break with "Investigative Journalism", the writers decided to throw a huge key in the dynamics of the study group and see what happened. That key was, of course, Jackack Black.

Black's character got the name Buddy (not a surname), and his main thing was that he was bored. He passed the episode trying and failed to become part of the group, incapable of gathering that they do not like him in particular. Most viewers initially felt a little bad about him, as it was difficult to be an outsider. But Black's character was so unconscious and awkward that our sympathy for him dried quickly.

The final nail in Buddy's probability casket was a final turnaround of the episode, which revealed that Buddy begged another, a cooler study group to release it. (This study group was inexplicable led by Owen Wilson.) When the colder study group accepts Buddy as one of their own, Buddy Caules of our main characters. Joining the gang study group was a way for Buddy to strengthen its social status, nothing more.

Buddy wasn't all bad. His attempts to fit in with the gang have led to Jef (Elloel McHail) Patent-Fals, often quoted in the random, "Annie is pretty young, we try not to sex." It also feels quite strange and targeted for him to discover that he was in the Spanish class of the group all the time. It's like when "standards" I gave the discovery of that stupidity that Kim (Elizabeth Banks) was in the background of the show from the beginning; No one buys it, and the series knows we don't buy it, but it's fun to play with anyway.

The most important part of Jackack Black's episode of "Community" is the way it gives us an overview of how the study group views other students. Subsequent episodes in the series, as a "competitive ecology" of Season 3 or "Alternative History of the German Invasion" of Season 4, revealed that the study group considered the rest of the school as a bunch of independent cramps. Other students are angry that the study group thinks the whole school revolves around them, and even more is disturbed by the growing evidence that the study group is true to come to this conclusion. (I mean, how else could they win All those games with a macquetail?)

But in this episode of early season 1, the play is not yet ready to go so much. The world of "community" is still a bit based here, which we can see in how the Dean (Jimim Rush) has not begun to regularly run into the study room with eccentric clothing still. In "Investigating Journalism", the study group is still going to a school where they are just full -time students among many. They may feel like an exclusive club is going, but that Owen Wilson reveals eventually serving to calm them down. The episode of the "Black" of "Community" returns the study group back to the Earth, but by the time we reach season 3, the long left reality of the study group.
