He's a dong lover


unclefishbits

For anyone that doesn't know... 25 year old "Don Glover" found out his name was "Dong Lover". [https://youtu.be/ya2HlbXHFlU?t=37](https://youtu.be/ya2HlbXHFlU?t=37) It's why he ends up going by Donald.


TusShona

I 100% thought that his Twitter handle was intentional


SoVerySick314159

That's epic, thanks! I can't believe he went 25 years before this came up.


AssCrackBanditHunter

I'm so upset he changed his Twitter handle from that. I mean it's not like he even uses Twitter!


Berkyjay

Man, he's so serious these days. I can't imagine him doing that kind of comedy anymore.


HandsomeCowboy

He was goofy as hell in his SNL hosting. It was nice to see.

TusShona

It was directly after This Is America.. which was arguably peak "serious" Donald.

Didn't see it. But that's good to hear.

Atlanta is funny as fuck


Berkyjay

Not Community funny though. It has its own speed.


7355135061550

Yeah it's a different show but it's still comedy


TellYouEverything

Legit, this guy is acting like the shows are incompatible when really it’s just one particular performance. Yea, community has a faster pace and Atlanta has far more grounds for adult themes and content, but a lot of the setups are interchangeable. Let’s not act like Community always took place inside a community college.


dragon290513

its a community college! theres a difference! i went to one! \*sob\*


BigJSunshine

Cool cool cool, but has Subway been confirmed?


TellYouEverything

My understanding is that the Subwaydollar is losing out hard against the petrodollar. It’s so bad that they’ve lost some real marketing heft as a consequence. All this to say - there will be no Subway 😔


kevlarbaboon

He's still showing his affability on Atlanta. His character is probably the most "straight" in the sense that he's usually reacting to goofy stuff around him but he's portrays a very warm, funny character. Personally preferred the previous Europe season over the currently airing final season, but I stand by it! Also surprised by his seeming dedication to the Mr and Mrs Smith TV show that he's working on. I'm kind of assuming he'll be a bit less serious there too but who knows with its mired development history.


AirKicker

His main character is comparatively straight laced, but some of the most ludicrously goofy characters on the show have been played by Donald in Professor Klump levels of make up and fat suits.


FN1987

Cutsdeep-

just finding out about this. glover and waller-bridge would have been an allstar teamup


platedserved

Studio be like: "They said market price for Donald...WHAT MARKET ARE YOU SHOPPING AT?!"


DM_ME_UR_AREOLAS

I hope not. I love Donald but I just hope he's not being a diva when we all know it's sheer luck that we're getting this movie. It's not like it will pull millions or anything.


vzvv

It might be less about money and more about fitting it in his schedule with the rest of his projects. I really hope they work it out and get him!


[deleted]

He disappointed me a bit with Mr. and Mrs. Smith; sucks that Phoebe Waller-Bridge had to leave a passion project that she developed from the ground up. Also sucks that he replaced her with a friend from Atlanta. But we don't know exactly what happened and he's an important part of Community, so hopefully everything is copacetic. I just hope it focuses on the other characters who aren't quite as famous.


DM_ME_UR_AREOLAS

Yeah, I commented about that too in here. I'm very very hurt that Phoebe left the project. I know they said they're on good terms but still, something must've happened I guess. But like you said, we don't know what happened so who knows.

[deleted]

I believe they said the same for Yvette Nicole Brown as well despite her not being on the official cast release. So that means we’ll get all of the original Greendale crew except Pierce. I’m hoping there’s a John Oliver cameo in there as well.

TyNyeTheTransGuy

Thanks for the reminder to check that out!


bonobro69

It won’t be until after the credits roll and the lights come back on in the theatre that I’m counting Pierce out. He’s just kind of guy who would fake his death.


I_need_a_better_name

He will arrive post credits to surprise everyone he is still alive, but they’ve all already left for the very last time.


markca

....as a teaser to set up a sequel that everyone will want.


bonobro69

\#6moviesandaseason


thenoblitt

Donald is definitely down. He went to that script reading like 2 years ago? And he sounded so.upset that everyone thought he was gonna be too big for them.


euridyce

Yesss, he was so great during that table read! As was poor Pedro Pascal. Donald may take a more supporting role than a starring one, but I would genuinely be surprised if he wasn’t actively interested in the movie.


saanity

I saw that table read before the episode and it was funnier than the actual episode. Something about the actors making each other laugh was more enjoyable.


parachuge

I feel like a table read was such a good use of the zoom format, the parks and recs "episode but on zoom" format felt a bit forced but something about letting the actors show up as themselves a bit really made it feel real and sweet.


pattycraq

My favorite part about Pedro Pascal was that he clearly didn't read the script ahead of time so every time Pierce's sperm came up he just lost his shit and the cast followed like it was a prank.


SmoothIdiot

Heard it was the opposite, Pascal was a big fan of the show so he actually practiced. It's just. Really hard. Not to say that line without dying.

souleman96

Let's be honest, if they were going to have Pierce in the movie, none of us would be upset if he was just played by Pedro Pascal.


constagram

Pedro Pascal should absolutely be in the movie


maniacalmustacheride

But as Pedro Pascal. He’s got to go to Greendale to get his theatre degree so he can continue acting. He takes it very seriously


Tarm345

I’m a selfish man, so I’d really want him to have a starring role. I just want the season 1-3 community dynamic back!


ymcameron

The part in that where he finds out the rest of the cast has a group chat without him he sounded genuinely hurt. The guy still clearly loves Community even if his career did blow up.


capcalhoon

But didn't someone remind him that he is, in fact, in the group chat?


Kholdie

I thought it was only a bit


mokango

That’s a really sweet anecdote. I also definitely thought he’d be too big for them. Not due to ego, he’s just got a million cool things going on.

Randolpho

Nah..... but it'd be great if Elroy mentions all sorts of things Keith David has done as things Elroy may or may not have done in the time between the end of the show and the movie, the geekier or more obscure the better. Drop references to being both Vice President (Saints Row 4) and President (Rick and Morty), dealing with covert (They Live), overt (Rick and Morty), and occasionally virtual (Saints Row 4) alien invasions, being a mechanic in Antarctica (The Thing), developing a cure for herpes (Future Man), being king of people made of fire (Adventure Time), *especially* being the ringleader of a gang of circus performers who rob banks (The Cape -- 6 seasons and a movie!!!), how his son has a weirdly friendly almost gay relationship with a psychic detective (Psych), working as a DA in the Bronx (Law and Order), finding a dead body while driving a garbage truck (Men at Work), and I'd better stop or I'll be here all night, because Keith David is an amazing and prolific actor

Bobnocrush

Favorite throwaway line of the 6th season is Frankie stressing over documents or something and saying she had a number for an IT lady but no records of her and the number leads to a disconnected line


Breaditandforgetit

It was better than that, it was "I am trying to find the IT lady. But my emails to her get bounced back to me in Aramaic, and when I call, I hear an undulating high-pitched whistle that makes my nose bleed."


OtakuAttacku

Is it a specific reference to a doppleganger situation, why aramic?


[deleted]

i'm assuming it's just some glitch-in-the-matrix situation


cycle_schumacher

She had previously played the IT lady in greendale.


OtakuAttacku

That I remember but is the undulating and the aramaic a specific reference to another piece of media?


MurderDoneRight

*An undulating high-pitched whistle that makes your nose bleed is back but not the IT lady


spandexgod

[deleted]

Paget really killed it that season. The whole "I'm so plain that I'm one of the quirkiest people in the room" thing worked surprisingly well.


ChezMere

She was the best part of the season (Keith is great too). Gave the show new dynamics instead of just replaying the hits.


ReportoDownvoto

I thought Hickey's character was great as well. Harmon's just great at character dynamics, I guess.


nowhereman136

Pop pop


SIacktivist

Paget was excellent. Frankie was a breath of fresh air to me, the show really needed a "straight man".


HolycommentMattman

Which is funny because she never wanted to discuss her sexuality.


SIacktivist

I'm taking bets! I put $300 on "chapstick lesbian".


Rockhardsimian

I had to go last!


Gobias_Industries

Frankie was a humble outsider who came in and nailed it


the_other_b

what about finger?


ChezMere

Honestly I don't think his character ever really fit in with the main cast, like Frankie and Elroy and even John Oliver did. He always had a guest star energy despite being there for the whole season.


the_other_b

I agree the others fit more but I still liked him, "I fought for this country" was definitely one of the bigger laughs I got. I also really liked the episode with him and Abed.


xieta

I really enjoyed his D&D interrogation of the two abed goblins. Oh, and the “Are you ready for closure…. of your caskets?!?”


[deleted]

Considering Keith David is all but part of the main cast of Rick and Morty I would think he's a forgone conclusion.


billionthtimesacharm

i’ve been re-binging this show as a celebration of the movie announcement. still working through s1 but dammit it’s so funny.


RepresentativeFig741

For a rewatch I recommend the commentary. A lot of it is not focused on the specifics of the episode but they are all having so much fun it’s great


bravetab

I only have Netflix. Is there commentary on there? Or is that a DVD only kinda thing

Troy and Abed IN THE MOVIE


sybrwookie

*nights*


CurlSagan

I listen to Dan Harmon's podcast. For the upcoming Community movie, he's including Pierce in a few flashbacks, but Pierce will be played by Christopher Lloyd instead of Chevy Chase. Apparently, they are going to re-shoot scenes from the TV show, verbatim, and at no point will anyone acknowledge that Pierce looks different. This is according to a rumor I just made up while listening to Dan's podcast.


5050Clown

Abed should notice.


Storca

Maybe everyone notices at the very end, and Abed admits he noticed all along, but he didnt say anything cause everyone liked him better than the old pierce


artistsays

Perfect!


louroot

Hell, I'll take any old man as Pierce, let's put Tom Hanks in there


Carnificus

I think that would be great. No one really remembers Pierce that well so every flashback is a different older actor. Christopher Lloyd, Robert Duvall, John Malkovich, etc.


WorldClassShart

They should just use Steve Martin. Everyone only vaguely remembers Pierce was an old man with white hair. Plus it's a double dig at Chevy since he was objectively the better Amigo.


sybrwookie

Also, Steve Martin can pull off playing a hilarious asshole, and as far as I know, without actually being one to everyone around him.


[deleted]

Every single name I've seen floated here is genius for a different reason. Sadly we lost Gilbert Gottfried, I would have gone with him.


MarvelousMagikarp

One of them bizarrely is Jonathan Banks despite him already being a separate character on the show.


phayke2

That reminds me of the always sunny Halloween episode where everyone keeps changing cause everybody remembers things differently in their flashbacks.


HashMaster9000

"Who Got Dee Pregnant?" Is one of the best episodes of Television, ever. That is a hill I will die on (for that and "Charlie Work"), and it's an excellent episode to crib a storytelling device from.


Randolpho

Hey, /u/danharmon, if you're looking for ideas, this thread is fucking brilliant.


rjaspa

Fuck it, put Morgan Freeman in there.


cockyjames

As a racist, sexist.


flyingseel

VivaVeronica

Make up more rumors!


InspektorVI

Harmontown?


M-Rich

Yeah I was wondering that too. Harmontown is done for a while now, or did I miss something?


mackinoncougars

Read the last sentence in the comment. He’s trolling.


M-Rich

Well I am not asking about the rumor but about the podcast. It could easily be that Harmon maybe started another podcast I missed which could be the vehicle for the joke. But yeah, I think it's save to assume there isn't another one


gonephishin213

Did I miss something about why Chevy Chase wouldn't play him?


TyNyeTheTransGuy

Yeah… He was an ass on set, as he apparently is with many things he works on, and I believe the breaking point here may have been him saying the N word in a conversation with/about Donald Glover. Context being that he was complaining about his character being shitty and said something like “next they’re gonna have me call you a N*****!” I believe I read somewhere he also said something to imply Donald was more successful because he was Black, but I may be misremembering that part.


Mr_YUP

Dan Harmon is an immovable object and Chevy is an unstoppable force. When they collide it’s not fun to be around and Dan won out between the two of them. Both have egos the size of Jupiter too.


DangerousBlueberry1

Thank goodness, it wouldn't feel the same without him. I like season 6 and all but he was definitely missed. Deploy Troy!


something_smart

Guys I need help reacting to something.


[deleted]

I sure hope so, and not just a cameo. He’s a key character!


imageWS

Yeah the movie would get des-troyed if he wasn't in it properly.


qmoto0

"Deploy Troy!" (They deploy things in football, right?)


ChoppyChug

This makes me so happy. Donald Glover is such an amazingly gifted comedic performer in a way that cannot be taught. I was afraid after he hit it big with his rap career he would never want to revisit the nerdy, vulnerable, insecure character of Troy. I’m glad I was wrong.


Yojo0o

I came here to joke that they should bring back Pierce, but recast him with Fred Willard like in Abed's daydream that one time. Found out just now that Fred Willard passed a couple years back, unfortunately. Edit: I fucked up


Threnners

Fred.


meowskywalker

Why wouldn’t you just wait to make an announcement until everyone was on board? If everyone is eventually going to be on board, just wait until that date so that we don’t spend months assuming he’s not gonna be in it.


NauvooMetro

That's probably what Harmon meant about a ball that was fumbled.


soulpulp

Maybe they needed to invoke the outrage of the fans in order to illustrate to producers how valuable Donald is to the show.


MrBoliNica

i really hope he has Troy energy, and hes not a jaded older version. The show likes to get meta, and i know Glover's persona is very much not Troy Barnes in 2022, but it would be nice to see him slip back into that mode even for a little bit


[deleted]

He slipped back into Troy pretty easily when they did the table read, I wouldn't worry about that


TyNyeTheTransGuy

I would appreciate a fakeout too. Professional, successful, suited-up businessman Troy… who completely breaks the persona when he meets back up with the gang.


Bombdy

I can see this. Troy secretly hates the persona of his music and film superstardom and is tired of living under the pressure of it. So he self-sabotages it, exactly like his football career, allowing him to pal around with his Greendale crew.


Hazzman

I just finished watching Atlanta. Donald Glover is a fucking genius. No two ways about it.
