Community Season 4 Premiere to Spoof The Hunger Games
The pop-culture referencing cult show Community is back for its fourth season next month and its very first episode references The Hunger Games as Entertainment Weekly reports:
When the Greendale student records seem to be lost, the Dean (Jim Rash) stages a Hunger Games-like competition to determine enrollment in a class called The History of Ice Cream. (Which raises the question: There’s actually a class at Greendale called The History of Ice Cream? “Ice cream is something that people eat every day and they probably don’t know its origin story,” deadpans McHale. “F— you and your elitist I-don’t-need-to-know-about-my-frozen-treats-and-where-they-came-from attitude.”)
Jeff not only competes in the games, he even performs an elaborate tango with Dean Pelton, who dons multiple dresses in the episode. “He will repulse and arouse you all at once,” notes McHale. “Mostly repulse.”
Intriguing! The season 4 premiere of Community will air on NBC, Friday October 19th and you can read the entire preview over at EW.com.

I may be the only one here that is excited, but I freaking love Community!!! So I cannot wait to see this, they are exceptional at spoofs, just watch the Glee episode. Personally Alison Brie is my choice for Annie Cresta, just because of her Annie in Community.

MY TWO FAVOURITE THINGS
2 fovorite things.
I can’t wait! Community is the bomb.
I didn’t catch that the dean was Katniss, I can’t wait until october 19.
Hey, look, it’s Katniss Ever-Dean!!!!! (Who wants to bet they’ll actually use this joke during the episode?)
I was pretty unhappy they fired Dan Harmon and wasn’t going to watch this season, but I guess I’ll have to tune in for this episode.

No doubt they will. I was also unhappy they fired Harmon as well, but I never was going to drop it until seeing it, especially since the new show runner did some decent work on Happy Ending and they seem to be doing a good job with Community.
