Could Chang really be.......Gene Parmesan?

@JackBuck44 Ahhhhhhhh *flails arms wildly* Geeeeeene!

Also I think Community may reference the running gag on AD about the lessons George Sr. would teach his kids "And that's why you never..." (with that one armed guy. I think the episode of community is "Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design" in season 2.

[mrpeabody208]

@TVlover014 I think that is really more along the lines of cartoonish escalation (both shows doing the same thing), but good observation nonetheless.

Has anyone on this show SEEN a chicken?

[Saintnick90]

The greatest sitcom on TV right now referencing the greatest sitcom of the past would be too good to be true.

@TVlover014 In the commentaries, Dan Harmon mentions that they realized there were similarities, but they were unintentional.

@KemicalPain Is exaggerated chickens a thing? Anyway, I see where you're going which is why I put a question mark in the title. I wanted you guys to discuss it.

Omgonthe123 posted something pretty interesting above where he noticed two other AD-like jokes in the same episode. So maybe it was intentional for this one episode to make some subtle AD refs.

@Omgonthe123 It's Communication Studies.

I couldn't remember which episode this clip was from, but I instantly remembered the desk roll as being in Comm Studies (S01E16). When I checked, you were right. I guess he says "Come on!" when Annie and Shirley send him the letter from Princeton. You might be onto something here.

The character of the dean is one big reference to Tobias. Bald - check. Unintentional suggestive phrases - check. Flamboyant personalities - check.

@jussts HE GOT ME AGAIN! - Lucille

@JackBuck44 AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHH!!!

[Omgonthe123]

What is the name of this episode? Cause I'm 90% sure that this episode has Senor Chang making even more AD references, a "COME ON" and him rolling over a desk like Tobias, but I'd like to check.
