Filled to the brim with Easter eggs, references, and other details, Community really is the show that keeps on giving. Also: #SixSeasonsAndAMovie!
Community, an NBC sitcom that aired from 2009 to 2015, has garnered a dedicated fanbase due to its intricate storytelling and hidden Easter eggs. These subtle in-jokes and references reward attentive viewers with comedic payoffs throughout the series. One Easter egg that stands out is the show's nod to the 1988 film Beetlejuice.
In a clever twist, the show mentions Beetlejuice three times across three different episodes in the first three seasons. The first mention occurs when Jeff's girlfriend, Michelle Slater, attempts to recall Britta's name, suggesting Beetlejuice as a possibility. Later, during a scene where the study group searches for Annie's lost pen, Britta jokingly refers to Jeff's underwear as Beetlejuice numbers.
Finally, in Season 3's Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps, Annie mentions that Britta's playlist consists of spooky party, the Beetlejuice soundtrack, and NPR podcasts, with a Beetlejuice partygoer appearing in the background. This Easter egg's brilliance lies in its spread across seasons, requiring fans to be well-versed in the show to catch the joke.
