>Community creator Dan Harmon has branded the show’s former star Chevy Chase a “befuddled old man”.
>Chase quit Community last November (2012) after a three-and-half-year stint on the US sitcom, having squabbled with Harmon on set and in press interviews. Chase, who played bored millionaire Pierce Hawthorne in the acclaimed series, had also claimed that joining the show in the first place was a “mistake”. “It’s still a sitcom on television, which is probably the lowest form of television,” Chase said in one interview.
Wow it's almost like no one likes Chevy Chase and his career after the 80s/early 90s has crashed and burned because of that fact.
John Flores
Dan Harmon seems like a real asshole.
Wyatt Clark
Dan Harmon is a repulsive person
Luis Robinson
harmon wouldnt let chevy participate in the orgies with the cast because he couldn get an erection. not even with viagra. meanwhile chevy always insisted on going first in.
Henry White
Hey Chevy. Why can't you face the fact that you're a cunt?
Kevin Taylor
Chevy and dan both seem like divas
Jordan Nguyen
>Community creator Dan Harmon has branded the show’s former star Chevy Chase a “befuddled old man”. he's right >“It’s still a sitcom on television, which is probably the lowest form of television,” Chase said in one interview. he's also right
Blake Sullivan
Community stopped being good when Chevy Chase left imo.
Kayden Allen
I like Chevy more because Harmon's fans are everywhere and they're all annoying nerd faggots. If there are any Chevyheads out there they're decent enough to shut the fuck up about it.
Jaxson Smith
Chevy is the one that's a known diva, for almost longer than Dan has been alive.
Jordan Gray
I appreciate a guy in Hollywood who tells it like he sees it without worrying about his career, agent, or who he pisses of. Its a fresh breeze in a phony town.
Bentley Morgan
From the podcast it sounds like things are more complicated. Chevy Chase was similar to Pierce in his outgoinh personality but the main difference is that Chevy is much smarter than he leads on. He's an asshole because he knows he can get away with it, and he's able to dick around onset or even not show up for filming because he had the star power not to be fired from an NBC sitcom for just being hard to work with. But he knows he's washed up and carries that cynicism into his interactions with the crew.
To that end, Harmon most likely called Chevy a "befuddled old man" as a sort of affectionate joke between aging comedians, and Chevy's comments about sitcoms being a lowest form of television fits in with his dry, cynical brand of humor. He's like Bill Murray but much more bitter.
Christopher Anderson
Chevy Chase has been through some shit.
Cameron Hughes
Doesnt matter. Longterm Cheevy was right about SNL and he leaves a legacy of family kino movies that are loved world wide.
The others are literal has beens and literal whos
Angel Roberts
From what I've heard Dan both suffers from depression and can be stubborn about getting his ideas through the network. I can't fault him for mental illness and the fact that he got so many great ideas through nbc is the reason community is such an awesome show
Samuel Robinson
Chevy didnt have anything on his plate for years and that was probably his last gig .Now everybody just gona remember him from those awful tv movie.
Adrian Barnes
kinda funny then cause that means he only took the gig cause it was his only option
Bentley Roberts
He and Bill Murray hate each other, he probably loathes the fact that after all these years Bill turned out to the most beloved person to come out of the original SNL era who is still alive.
Tyler Morales
For me, it'll always be The Three Amigos

Harmon has invented a storytelling framework referred to as the "Story Circle."[25] He began developing the technique in the late '90s, while stuck on a screenplay. He wanted to codify the storytelling process — to find the structure powering movies and TV shows. "I was thinking, there must be some symmetry to this," Harmon told Wired. "Some simplicity."[25] While working on Channel 101, Harmon found that many of the directors he was working with claimed that they were unable to write plots for television shows.[26] This caused Harmon to distill Joseph Campbell's structure of the Monomyth into a simple, circular eight-step process that would reliably produce coherent stories.
The story circle can supposedly be applied to all stories. Harmon uses it whenever he is writing a new story, saying "I can't not see that circle. It's tattooed on my brain."[25] The circle is divided into eight segments, each representing a stage of the plot. A character is introduced, wants something, enters a new environment, adapts to that environment, achieves their goal but encounters problems as a result, leaves that world and changes as a result. The steps are as follows:
1) A character is in a zone of comfort or familiarity. 2) They desire something. 3) They enter an unfamiliar situation. 4) They adapt to that situation. 5) They get that which they wanted. 6) They pay a heavy price for it. 7) They return to their familiar situation. 8) They have changed as a result of the journey.
Ian Morris
cab someone post a WALLED photo of Chevy? i want to feel sad
Josiah Cook
Nah he’ll always be remembered for Caddyshack, Three Amigos and the Vacation movies.
Connor Nelson
Chevy Chase is eternally based, which is why that faggot Pete Davidson hates him.
>relabel the monomyth >"hey guys look at my unique process"
Evan Price
>He's an asshole because he knows he can get away with it
but he doesn't get away with it. no one wants to work with him anymore.
Austin Powell
That's true but the two things are unrelated
Bentley Ward
Exactly, and that's all part of his current cynical persona. He could've been a beloved comedy actor like Bill Murray but it didn't work out for him, and famously he almost got the role of Han Solo and could've been Harold Ford, a prestige hollywood star with a lifelong career. But he couldn't manage either of those things and has to live with that as his only role in recent memory was a "lowly" TV sitcom. All he can do is be a bitter cunt about it, but if you get that style of humor he's pretty funny as a bitter cunt. His comments on the Community cast evalutations were fucking gold, the dude can cut deep with the most seemingly inane comments.
Elijah Ross
>If there are any Chevyheads out there they're decent enough to shut the fuck up about it. They're probably dead at this point
Jaxon Ward
what people need to understand about Chevy is that the guy swam in an ocean of cocaine, pussy and success for quite a while. he didn't come out the other side as a humble guy.
Owen Collins
Chase is well known as being an asshole so who gives a shit what Harmon says
Isaiah Bailey
Harmon is the first to admit he stole the concept from Campbell and streamlined it for TV writing. To be fair Campbell stole the hero's journey from every myth and legend in human history and streamlined that too.
Jayden Jenkins
He got away with it for like 30 years, and hell he'll probably show up in some other big release before he's dead.
Hudson Mitchell
Yeah but >This caused Harmon to distill Joseph Campbell's structure of the Monomyth into a simple, circular eight-step process that would reliably produce coherent stories. Joseph Cambell's monomyth is a distilled, simple circular eight-story process that reliably produces coherent stories. I'm just not sure why there are youtube essays and wikipedia sections about Dan Harmon doing this.
Andrew Anderson
Haha Dan is busy banging 10/10 jewish hotty in his LA villa
Nah, he was apparently a jerk from the day he joined the original SNL cast.
Carter Turner
>Dan Harmon No one cares what the fucking retard thinks.
Jacob Ross
Campbell's story circle is distilled but still has plenty of complexities and general murkiness. Campbell was more about the overall philosophy of the hero's journey and how it could be used to enrich one's life, so his circle is more complete and specific. Harmon's story circle is purely made to help screenwriters structure their scripts in a very simple and generalized way that fits all sorts of different stories. That's why he leaves things like the Supernatural Aid or Belly of the Beast or Atonement with the Father out or condenses them into more general terms.
Isaac Adams
no he won't. just look at his filmography for the last ten years. he's irrelevant. he has no friends in hollywood. all he has is a reputation as a famous cunt. community was the last """"""""""big"""""""""" thing he did and he's utterly burned all bridges with everyone that was involved with that too. the only reason this thread even exists and that we're talking about him is that community finally got picked up on netflix, so zoomers are recycling the same decade old gossip about him.
