NBC has released the third full length trailer for season 5 of Community and it highlights the “epic” to say the least.
After a far too long fallow period, we’re finally starting to get as much footage from the fifth season as we can handle. First, there was the Jeff-centric trailer, then all of the last day of filming photos and now what is undoubtedly the most epic trailer in Community history.
It looks like Dan Harmon took one look at the state of affairs when he returned for the fifth season and decided that “bigger” was the way to go.
We haven’t heard any news about non-traditional theme episodes a la “paintball episode” or “zombie episode” for the fifth season but this trailer seems absolutely littered with footage from high-concept, high-action episodes.
If you blinked you may have missed Magnitude helping to destroy the study room, Britta becoming a queen-esque figure and ordering her “chairwalkers” to attack or most intriguingly: Abed in full Kickpuncher regalia. The Hobbit was a fitting movie to frame the trailer around as this season appears to be about as epic.
Of course there is still plenty of good old fashioned “normal” Community humor to be had…. that is to say, still completely off the wall like the mysterious asscrack bandit, Chang’s upsetting study room habits (hey, it’s a Walton Goggins cameo!) and Dean Pelton absolutely freaking out.
But the best joke moment for our money is Troy’s reaction to hearing that Zach Braff left after the first six episodes of Scrubs, season 9. “After everything Scrubs did for him?” On an entirely unrelated note: Donald Glover will be leaving the series after the first five episodes of season 5.
