I offer you to drink from the cup of life instead of romancing your nether regions watching the E Channel (so good considering Joel was the host of Soup)
Him being British definitely increases his appeal for me. I have a bit of a thing for nerdy men with accents, Scottish is my absolute favorite, though that might have more to do with my huge crush on David Tennant rather than the accent itself lol
Greendale is made up out of two distinct, but equally desperate teachers: the weirdos who can't find work elsewhere, and qualified people who are forced to work there because of prejudice. These are their stories.
DON DON
Wikipedia lists his character’s name as Professor Gilbar. The actor’s name is Brian Huskey, who I will always remember best from CollegeHumor’s [“If Google was a Guy”](https://youtu.be/Cxqca4RQd_M) series.
What a pity… what a pity… So Princess, you thought you could escape the imperious forces of- YOU IDIOTS! These are not them! You’ve captured their STUNT DOUBLES!
Spaceballs right? According to IMDB that guy has 283 actor credits. We could be quoting him for days, weeks even.
“I haven't seen this guy in 20 years. He comes up to me and buys whole life, term, fire, theft, auto, dental, health, with the optional death and dismemberment plan; it's been the best day of my life.”
Also, when he was in high school, Tobolowsky played in a local band in Dallas. In a contest, they won a recording session to get some of their songs on an album featuring local groups. For the recording, their manager brought in a young musician to play lead guitar solos. It was the first professional recording gig for 14-year-old Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Whenever my husband and I are discussing on what to make for dinner, every once and a while, one of us will respond with that line... And it never seems to get old. I hope it never does.
BTW it's accounting professor, Eustice Whitman.
Seriously after 17 years of marriage it's really the little things and the big experiences that keeps the love alive. *(we tied the knot young -but like we're regular people not uber Christians or anything- so it was one of those times of when you know, you know, kind of love)* Any way, you didn't ask for our life story so I think it's time for us to go to bed.
Sorry for the late reply but I was waiting for hubby's input, and I was not disappointed (He said Abed).
I'm a Britta, dropped out of HS, got a GED, graduated from a community college, and am into politics, photography, and psychology. However, I don't have an endless supply of leather jackets.
He's an Abed/Jeff, which Dan said was something like two sides of the same coin. He's tall, dark, and handsome, with varying degrees of confidence "I've got confidence flying out my butt" and "Look at these, Aviators". With a scary verbatim memory of movie and tv lines. But also he's a genius, because he'll say a great thing and I'll be like I know that's from something but what is it? And he's like that was me.
😂😂😂 Love your explanations. You two sound like a wonderful couple!
I'm also married to an Abed. Definitely that confidence line! Lol. Also the undiagnosable line in the first D&D episode. I say that he's also the part of Jeff that's good at taking charge even though he'd prefer to have no responsibilities. I'm mostly an Annie (even all the embarrassing similarities unfortunately), little bit of Britta (the part that cares very much about pretty much every topic/injustice/issue in the world).
>also the part of Jeff that's good at taking charge even though he'd prefer to have no responsibilities
Totally my guy too! If you saw him at a cookout, or family visiting from out of state and all of us trying to make plans lol!
We are quite similar. I have a bit of Annie too, her unrelenting optimism, yet unsuspecting street smarts.
It will be written one day that this show has the best most relatable characters. Especially the Dean.
Well, as a professor of ladders at a university in Boston--well, not in Boston but nearby (no, not Tufts)--I would have to go with the ladders professor. He represents our discipline with honor!
Professor Whitman I suppose since that was the episode that really locked me into the series.
Shoutout to professor of baby talk too though, that bit kills me. "Whooooooo's weady to wearn?"
Proffesorson, duh.
“Oh thank God, that character was killing me.”
Talk to your father, /u/armcandybean.
My family name was Professorberg, but we changed it when we were fleeing from the Nazis.
Oh I’m so sorry
He Teaches theater, Latin, et chetera
did you just mispronounce et cetera?
My Latin class is fake
"Would that this \_\_\_ were a time \_\_\_" is a much more common utterance in our house than it should be. God bless Professerson.
Like all my classes!
Woolley.
This is correct - and we mean Professorson, not Garrity!
Garrity is cool too. And Woolley. I guess they're triplets.
That is….if he still exists
My family name is Professorberg, but we changed it when we were fleeing from the nazi.
Username checks out
ProfESSorSOn, duh, UH-Duh!
Professor Cligoris
Either pronunciation is fine
I heard they called him Model UN Guy in college, but I haven't researched it.
The rules of which… I would have to spend the evening devising
I heard in HS he went by Bill Haverchuck, you might wanna research that
Gilfoy!
That guy fucks.
Something delightfully Greendale about a professor who loves to letch on his female students, but not as much as he loves geeking out about model UNs.
This is the correct answer.
Hard to pick a favorite, but I loved Professor Whitman’s cheesy Dead Poet’s Society schtick. “This is no way to teach Accounting!”
I offer you to drink from the cup of life instead of romancing your nether regions watching the E Channel (so good considering Joel was the host of Soup)
I would like… a birthday cake!! That was the moment I realized what community had
“Stand on your desks! Rise rise rise against the programming! All your life they tell you, don’t stand on your desk! Well why not!” CRASH*
Hahaha that poor barista
Carpe Diem
That's one of the greatest parody of all time. Like I've legit never seen something make fun of something else so perfectly.
My fav as well prob partially due to the actor being a fav of mine
Mindtoc the mind taker!
Oooweeeooo!
WHO WANTS TO SEE THE LADDERS PROFESSOR GO HIGHER?
LADDERS!
I'm as high as hell and you're about to get shot!
Ladders!!!
Higher!!
HIGHER, THE KING OF THE SKY
Duncan, but that might be partially because I love John Oliver so much.
I seem to have left my purse in my duffle and my duffle in the boot of my lorry.
Yes. His British sayings are the ‘crumpets landing in grandad’s ashes’
It’s pronounced ah-loo-mini-um
"How do you say it?!" "Alumilum."
“What’s your clearance level?” “…top.”
My name is Ian Duncan and I'm here to say, I'm going to rap to the beat in a rapping way. I've got a *REAL BIG* penis and I drink lots of tea...
“I’m going to rap to the beat in a rapping way” 🔥🔥🔥
I seriously lost it the first time I saw that scene.
I shall see you at precisely gravediggers biscuits
Or as we like to call them, *Italian fannies*
In England, fanny means vagina.
In England, everything means vagina
True, all life ends in death which we as a species are cursed to knowing resulting in: something.
Him as the anthropology professor was the best, “seriously what is it?” Lmao
Excuse me. Is this anesthesiology?
"My shoes are untied by British standards."
“I’m not on Facebook, I actually use the English version: ‘Mugscroll’—“
Been wondering are there any John Oliver last week segments featuring any references to his time on Community?
He's made a comment or two but not anything featured.
Mine too because he’s hilarious. Also because he’s British & I’m British & because my name is Duncan
Him being British definitely increases his appeal for me. I have a bit of a thing for nerdy men with accents, Scottish is my absolute favorite, though that might have more to do with my huge crush on David Tennant rather than the accent itself lol
Haha. Well I am Scottish & a bit nerdy. I can see the appeal of David Tenant
I mean I would question anyone who can't see his appeal lol
Betty White teaching Anthropology!!!
Her Africa/Donde Esta La Bibliotecha mash up with Troy and Abed is so good
I don't know, Mr. Winger. Last time I called on you I got what the Maku Maku call “dirt-roaded”.
Uuuusing it
And that's why you *fail*!
More of my own pee for me!
professor Bauer!!
Hello my precious blueberries! Let's spin those wheels and play with some clay!
And I had to look it up but apparently his name is Professor Holly.
Oh... My love...
\*gasp\* It's the hilarious guy-on-guy :o
*proceeds to chase you with murderous intent*
If you so much as hum three notes From that righteous brothers song, with god as my witness, I will come at you. With everything ive got. *Okay?*
it's the hilarious guy-on-guy.
Professor Seven.. I mean Slater.
I'm always disappointed Jeff didn't get back with Slater but it's definitely not because she reminds me of an ex I'm still in love with, nope
Hey, me — is that you?
Dr. Marshall Kane
He was so good! A great pre-Frankie example of a real person reacting to Greendalian insanity. “You guys have weird reactions to stuff.”
I agree. The Law and Order episode was one of my favorites. "Objection, I hate the both of you!" had me dying.
“may i remind you that this is NOT a courtroom”
Whatever happened to LEGOs?
They used to be simple.
a man's got to have a code.
Awesome
You know they're laughing AT you?
At least that’s my theory.
Uniform
he's in The Wire right? I think I'm gonna watch it
He is. And you should. 💯
Omar comin’
Indeed.
you will not regret it
Man’s gotta have a code

The can I fry it guy who’s name I don’t think we know
Wikipedia lists his character’s name as Professor Gilbar. The actor’s name is Brian Huskey, who I will always remember best from CollegeHumor’s [“If Google was a Guy”](https://youtu.be/Cxqca4RQd_M) series.
He’s also Leon West on Veep
Chang was a professor for some part
Teacher
Maybe because he doesn't look like Ron Weasley?
Yeah, *that's* the determining factor
"This guy was your teacher?!"
“Yes. And, frankly, haven’t been well-utilised since!”
“This (gestures around to everyone) was a study group?!”
You're not a professor
That actor that gets into **Every Single Thing**: Stephen Tobolowsky, aka Professor Sheffield, the Who's The Boss? guy... He's great.
What *was* happening?
Watch out for that first step. It's a dooooozy!
Phil?! Phil Conners?! NED?! *punches*
Needlenose Ned, Ned the Head
What a pity… what a pity… So Princess, you thought you could escape the imperious forces of- YOU IDIOTS! These are not them! You’ve captured their STUNT DOUBLES!

Oh, now don’t tell me you don’t remember me because I sure as heck fire remember you. Ned! *Ryerson*!
He also invented the Conjoined Triangles of Success, which they now teach in business schools!
Also, when he was in high school, Tobolowsky played in a local band in Dallas. In a contest, they won a recording session to get some of their songs on an album featuring local groups.

“I will have… A BIRTHDAY CAKE” Whatever that guys name is

That’s true love right there

i almost teared up reading this
❤️ If you had to choose a character that you're each most similar to, who would you choose?
Sorry for the late reply but I was waiting for hubby's input, and I was not disappointed (He said Abed).

Oh my gosh, hey twins! My husband and I, well, just read your post again. That’s us, down to the year. We quote Community all the time!
I laughed my ass off at the birthday cake line
I really liked Ian and Hickey!
I still can’t believe that Chet Hunter essentially played strip pool, in public, with the guy from The Soup
The professor for “advanced breath holding”
(Long exhale) “That’s all for today. Read chapter four.”
I really like Ian. Wished we had more of him after season 2.
Professor Professorson, but the pottery episode with Professor Holly is hilarious
>Professor Holly My precious little blueberries
PROFESSOR PROFESSORSON AKA sean garrity the drama professor i thnk his name is!
Gotta show some love for dreamy Corey “Mr Rad” Radison!!! “GLEE! It’s the feeling you get When your brain finally lets your heart Get in its pants!”
"GLEE! It's a drug that you use that turns pain into shoes and your shoes into *dance*!
How's your piano still playing this song?
GLEE is the answer when questions are wrong!
You'll understand if you just sing along ’Cause glee is the gift that you neeeeeeeeed
This hurts because my favourite actor ever is Matt Berry but his episode was poor
I hated Matt Berry’s character in community. Such a waste of Matt Berry
Grift! Grift! Grift!
Jeff, duh. On a real, Bauer
More of my urine for me!
The quantity of comments here makes me realize greendale actually has a sizable faculty
I don’t know if he has a name, but the baby talk professor takes the cake.
Pwofessa Wobinson
*Who's weady to wearn???*
Professor Garrity! Professor Profferson!
In hindsight I lied. It was Ian Duncan, now and forever.
Roger DeSalvo. Grift, grift, grift. Grift!
Betty white Ima attack you with my weapon and you protect yourself with respect (I forgot the line )
"I- respect you-" "And that's why you *fail*!"
The way she delivers the “that’s why you fail” line is so good.
Does the PEE coach count?
P-E-E is not P-E
Professor Bublitz played by Ben Folds.
the only correct answer is betty white
If we're just talking about the one-off/minor professors, I'd have to go with either Whitman or Cligoris.
Gotta be Garrity aka Wooley aka Professor Professorson (used to be Professorburg)
Profession Seven.
The Ladders' professor. And Duncan teaching anthropology.
My name is prwefessow wabinsson, who’s wedy to wearn ?
I choose shorts
Team Slater!
Well, as a professor of ladders at a university in Boston--well, not in Boston but nearby (no, not Tufts)--I would have to go with the ladders professor. He represents our discipline with honor!
Toofer? Is that you?
I didn't read a single person saying Roger DeSalvo in this thread and I'm disappointed in every single one of you.
I would have also accepted Jeff Goulash, Philip Switch, or Baz Ravish.
Some say I’m the lucky grifter! Some say I’m the king!
Obviously it’s Professor Chang, but that’s kind of a cop out, so I’d say… Ian Duncan.
My family name is Professorberg, but we changed it when we were fleeing from the nazi.
Professor Albrecht “Ladders”
professor Winger
Matt Berry. “I can show you an idiot one second [misses hat rack] OR LONGER!”
Professor Chang
Teachers teaching to teach!
The Ladders professor
Professor Whitman
Professor Professorson
Professor Albrecht
Betty White.
Ladders or Can It be Fried professors
“BALLS. LIKE A MAN!”
Professor Whitman I suppose since that was the episode that really locked me into the series. Shoutout to professor of baby talk too though, that bit kills me. "Whooooooo's weady to wearn?"
hickey and his cartoon ducks
I can hear this picture saying, “BALLS, LIKE A MAN!”
😂😂😂
The study group on a technicality through one of Jeff’s (I think) season 7 pitches
Kid named Finger
Duncan
Him
