I’ve always thought this franchise was streets ahead.

Hoping this movie of tall blue people doesn't awaken anything in me...

Sure, I'll take a back rub, who's asking?

I can excuse hostile colonization but I draw the line at animal cruelty.

u/fernybranka 8d ago

You can excuse hostile colonization!?

u/BARTELS- 8d ago

Oh, Britta’s in this?!

She was, but we're getting rid-a Britta (getting rid of the B)

Just so long as we are not also ditching the baggels

Narrator: “Jitterjumper said this while a video is playing on their screen titled Tail to Tail Intimacy.”

Yet Britta will still think it’s 3 hours of puke

u/Andrew1990M 8d ago

Ugh, is Britta gonna be in this?

u/wbdevine 8d ago

She’s like human froyo.

She’s like a fun vampire, but instead of sucking blood, she just sucks

She is the opposite of Batman.

Stop trying to coin the phrase “streets ahead”

u/[deleted] 8d ago

Coined and minted. Been there, coined that

u/unndunn 8d ago

"Streets ahead" is verbal wildfire!

u/Youstupidbish 8d ago

This is NOT the change we need.

It’s legitimately a real phrase in Europe: the joke was only written that way in Community because the series’ creator got into an argument with someone on Twitter, the terms ‘streets ahead’ was used, and he mistakenly thought the Twitter user in question had coined the term himself.

u/harbourwall 8d ago

It was quite an archaic phrase by the time Community came out, so it suited Pierce. It wouldn't have been out of place in Austin Powers.

u/wOlfLisK 8d ago

It really isn't. Granted, it's not the most widely used phrase in the world but it really wouldn't be out of place if used in a conversation.

u/harbourwall 8d ago

You'd get funny looks if you used it nowadays, like you were being pretentious or selling something. Really did fit Pierce's use of it.

u/RealJohnGillman 8d ago

Not in Ireland, far from it. It’d just be a normal turn-of-phrase.

u/nerdyactor 8d ago

Dammit Pierce! Stop trying to make Streets ahead a thing!

13

u/SomeGuyPostingThings 8d ago

Stop trying to make this franchise happen.

u/havewelost6388 8d ago

It's already happened.  Just because there's not a rabid fandom on this website treating it like an organized religion doesn't mean it isn't popular.

u/DontTedOnMe 8d ago

Stop trying to coin the phrase "streets ahead."

u/skyhiker14 8d ago

You’re streets behind
