Jeff tries to put the moves on Britta by saying he’s a Spanish tutor. I sleep late Spanish, one more hour, do not scratch my car.

"you seemed smarter than me when I met you"

Netflix made a mistake by cutting the black woman part because it gives Jeff more context and a better understanding of his relationship with Abed (both were raise by TV in a way, that's why Jeff "knows" all of Abed's reference)

Watching this after, the last episode where Jeff enters the bar as he and Britta greet each other smiling shows how much of a family the study group has become. It was surely a beautiful journey...

I have to give Ludwig Goransson credit for making the music of "Community" it has a memorable charm and nostalgia to it.

What a show this was both in front of the camera and behind it

I like to think that Britta actually knew that Jeff was speaking complete gibberish in this scene but she’s so desperate at getting help for her Spanish that she just went along with it.

I would've liked the change in Brita's personality more if the rest of the group didn't hate and bully her for it. In the beginning every respected Brita and liked Brita, but the audience didn't like her so they changed her personality around. They made her a goofy airhead, but the problem was that instead of the group finding her fun to hang out with, instead it seemed like they could barely tolerate her stupidity at best. Eventually all the Brita bashing gets so mean spirited that even Pierce (of all characters) who is always oblivious to everything and everyone notices and dislikes it. So in one of Pierces best spirited moments he opens Jeff's eyes to how terrible everyone is to her, and Jeff actually agrees and recognizes it and it seems like they are finally going to accept airhead Brita... until the next episode where any development that might have happened just flies out the window and things continue the way they had been.

this is hilarious because community's subtitle on Netflix does not show the spanish's translation. So at first I genuinely thought jeff knew how to speak Spanish

[rogermanzur]

Yeah, Brittany really changed, though to be honest I hated the proto-britta since she seemed pretty basic. Jeff and Abed were the most consistent from beginning to end but they all became more unhinged as the show went on. I like to think that the more they spent together the more they allowed their real selves to come out with each other.

I really don't remember that encounter between Jeff and the woman at the end there. Was it deleted or something?

[steampunkwilson]

Am I crazy or is the bit about black women being cosmic mentors not in the Netflix release?

[ghostemane]

So good to see the real Season 1 Britta, she felt so refreshing since we don't see ''sane, normal'' females in comedy shows. At least for a season.. after season 1 she became a rather poor Rachel + Phoebe rip-off

[WickN]

Ahhh the start of a long and toxic friendship. Wouldn't have it any other way. #andamovie

[弘睿甫]

i was kinda in with this semi realistic take of the show but then the tone switch to light comedy. it really had some potential to be both good comedy and serious drama

[rajbhadra]

Here before this channel blows up. (If it doesn't I'll sound really cringey, but it will)

[willmcpherson]

She may not be as smart but I will always prefer the “me so hungy” Britta

[Thomperfan]

That "Seinfield/Seinfeld" bit is underrated.

[atlas]

Ngl I actually do love how she developed, even though she became dumb, being dumb is better than just being there to be Jeff’s love interest

Super Warning SUPER LONG POST READ WITH DISCRETION LOL
I want a movie where Jeff and Britta end up together lol I have watched and rewatched the show for the past month on repeat, eventually focusing on relationship patterns (Annie/Jeff, Abed/Annie, Britta/Jeff). I understand that maybe up to the point the show ended Jeff might have finally accepted Annie as someone he loves, I am not fan of the age gap, but its understandable, their moments were sweet and unexpected. Jeff and Annie became better because of each other yes, but so they did with everyone. They are a community afterall. It was sweet but to me their relationship was ancoming of age for both Jeff and Annie, she has a crush on him, or at least she is reacting to the way one would at 18/19 if you meet someone like Jeff who seems as a cool dude leader. And I mean, have you seen him? WOW HE HOT (with all fue respect) As he says there might be sexual tension and chemistry (he has it with everyone) and it makes sense in a life situation, who hasnt question at some point if a friendship might mean more than something platonic. The cool thing is when even if you crossed the barrier, and it doesnt work out, you can cross the barrier and can cross back, still loving each other as friends, and can be cool, cool cool cool. Seeing them together was nice and all, it just seem purely platonic. At least from Jeff's side. I dont think he sees her as a sister, but as someone who he wants to protect. And someone who reminds him of being young (specially season 6) Towards season 6 Jeff is more mature in many ways, plus he has a beard, he has a somewhat stable life, and when Annie announces that she is going is a break of that part of his life that has been since s1. Now, it isnt until Abed announces his departure that you could see Jeffs balance shatter, because it is evident things are going to change for real. At that point he realizes that he loves Annie (or ay least doesnt see her as a child anymore) and does see her as somethibg more, but to portray his growth as a person he is not going to pursue he (as Jeff Winger would) instead letting her fly. The kiss was a closure statent of their matured selves, now she is ready to leave the nest and get that record full of adventures, same as Abed. Which is closing in a perfect circle as he was also seen by the group as someone who needed to be protected (not exactlyy but yall know what I mean).
Now lets talk about why Abed and Annie, Jeff and Britta. As mentioned before I have been pucking up patterns and rewatching the show, Abed/Annie, he might be Chandler, she is not Phoebe, she is Mónica all over. There are many instances of flirty looks between them, the milestones they pass, theyre time as housemates, their kisses, the build up of their friendship/relationship, 'stolen looks', specially things Abed say, their dance at paintball.
Lets talk about my favoriye ship Britta and Jeff. First of all why would people day there is no chemistry? Their episodes are so meaningfull, through the series Britta is the one that is there with Jeff through his toughest (his dad, his narcissistic day, and days, ) she is there to call him on his BS (specially when Dan Harmon was there s1-3 when she is strong, witty, smart, caring and the heart of the group while Jeff is the Brainz). Jeff is the one person she admits not being perfect, they see their true colors, know them and also see that as humans they are trying to better the quality of such colors. They do make each other better humans. The way they interact with each other is of someone who knows everything about the other person and still loves them. yes people we have to admit just like with the group there is true appreciation and love between these two. They banter all the time, they are always play full and to me that is something you do with a soulmate. I feel like we were played into thinking they were not endgame to surprise the audience, avoid cliché. Abed calls it first, saying that they prevent them to being friends, theyn in s5 he says to Annie that it wouldnt last more than 6 episodes. But but but despute this when he is in Abeds show in S4 when Jeff and Britta were presented there was an insinuation they were a couple (they were kissing). Moreover the group was obsessed with them, when discovering they where secretly doing it they put they blame of the years events on them. Its a pattern that return, so it feels like for the sale of the group they stay apart. It is true that they always pick on each other, and they act very guarded towards each other. Their bickering reminds me middle school picking on the kid you like because you dont know how to handle it. It makes sense s1 Jeff finds Britta attractive (I mean, have you seen her?) and wants to do her, so of course she puts her guard up, specially after the events of the first 2 episodes. She knows she only wants her for sex, but Jeff is seen having small moments in which you feel his affection for Britta grow. When she dates Vaughn he gets crushed after seeing her kiss him, even more after she tells him they septiembre together, it even seem like it was the first time that happened to Jeff. Now he starts being guarded, he doesn't want to get hurt, Jeff dates Slatter, and Britta finally accepts she has some affection for Jeff ( the way she reacted when he gives her the flowers.). To me their scenes are filled with sweet flirty, lovey glances. Even after they made Britta dirty there was always something there. If you watch s2 with the knowledge that they have been doing it, they seem pretty content, when seen together you can tell there is something relationshipy and sweet between them. After the group makes a big deal abou them Jeff says they have hooked up a couple of times, later seasons Britta says they dated (which Jeff denies), Jeff refered to Britta as his former lover to Duncan, when emails are leaked he admitts they did date (when we were dating), finally when they are tricking the grifter Britta refers to him as exboyfriend quite the egghunt there.
Towards the end of the episode Britta reacts big to Jeff/Annie will they might they (that following the post I love you kiss). Jeff has admitted that he still has some desires towards her (the hand episode) and when she is being loved by her former anarchist friends, he admits that her being liked turns him on. Is this why there is such a big necessity to put her down? They both are in defense mechanism, I feel that they saw each other as more but were not going to admit it for everything that it would entail with the group, and with each other (it would give leverage, which could be wrongly used) I feel they are afraid of being hurt by each other again, and look like fools. That also explains why they couldnt give it a chance. Again many moments, secret inuendos, touching, hugs (you have to look for them, you you will find them).
I would love to see a movie in which Jeff and Britta are together. Fast forward 5-6 years (maybe Jeff tried it with Annie for a bit and she got a bigger job out of state or country.) Maybe Britta and Jeff also gave each other a chance for a bigger bit. I would love to see a Mature S1 Britta, sassy, witty, passionate, someone who is a great psychologist and activist for womens rights in Guatemala or something) working for an american NPO. Some crazy community adventure in which the Annie Jeff will be teased but close as friendship, opening the Abed Annie ship. It would be cool to see her going back to Guatemala (or spanish speaking country), reading something, Jeff approaching, and her tryibg to avoid some 'stranger hitting on her' pretends to only speak spanish, to which Jeff responds something in the same language. Maybe him proposing, and having a surprise wedding ending with everyone, bringing it full circle. What we leave with. I know its too long I have no potatoes, but I do have hope, and the advice of rewatching it with some consideration of the points I attempted to make..
My personal opinion
I understand if you dont agree, but hey anything is possible just roll the dice.
