''[[Community]]'' features several short series of webisodes:
 
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20110110162714/http://www.nbc.com/community/video/categories/the-5-as-webisodes/1148284/ "The 5 A's"] is a series of informational videos extolling the high points of Greendale, hosted by Dean of Admissions Pat Isakson.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130825083852/http://www.nbc.com/community/video/categories/av-department/1162591/ "A/V Department"] is a series of student films by Abed, specifically "Six Candles" from "[[Community/Recap/S1 /E03 Introduction to Film|Introduction to Film]]" and two episodes of "Community College Chronicles", an [[Life Embellished|amateur sitcom featuring caricatures of the study group]].
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130912102024/http://www.nbc.com/community/video/categories/office-hours/1257776/ "Office Hours"] provides a peek into the life of Dean Pelton outside of the study group as he provides other students with advice during his office hours.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20121228160646/http://www.nbc.com/community/video/categories/spanish-videos/1218239/ "The Spanish Video Assignment"] is a two-parter featuring Abed and Starburns's video project for their Spanish 101 class. Starburns plays Starburns El Star Prince while Abed plays Starbrows in a quirky, kitschy sci-fi movie. Senor Chang fails the pair for not hewing closely enough to the prompt, but allows them to shoot a sequel for make-up points--provided Chang gets to star as antagonist Señor Tigre.
* "Study Break" is a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NexpUMy_4B8&feature=related three]-[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPmoh2KPJGI&feature=related part] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN30uehLlqI&feature=related series] of mini-episodes showing the group's activities during 90-second study breaks mandated by Annie. These were included on the Season 1 DVDs.
* "Abed's Master Key", a series of animated shorts taking place over the season 3 hiatus.
Line 24:
* [[Stylistic Suck]]
* [[Teen Pregnancy]]: One of the interviewees had one, it seems.

Line 30:
* [[Bad Bad Acting]]
* [[Character Exaggeration]]
* [[Life Embellished]]: The first episode of "Community College Chronicles" is simply a somewhat badly-performed and exaggerated abridgment of "[[Community/Recap/S1 /E08 Home Economics|Home Economics]]". The second episode involves [[Skepticism Failure|lycanthropy]].
* [[Ship Tease]]: Played [[Up to Eleven]] with Jeff/Britta in "My Hobo Days" and Jeff/Annie in "Pop Quiz". The latter is lampshaded by Abed, who goes on to state that it was the work of another Spanish curse.
* [[Skepticism Failure]]: "Pop Quiz" involves Britta using a working curse to turn Troy into a werewolf.
* [[Special Effect Failure]]
* [[Stylistic Suck]]
 
Line 43:
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In "Hair Piece", Dean Pelton has unknowingly purchased a vaginal hairpiece called the "Merkin of Venice". At the end of the episode, Pelton asks his assistant to [[A Date with Rosie Palms|let no one in for ten minutes as he reaches toward his own crotch.]]
* [[Innocent Innuendo]]: Dean Pelton's assistant misinterprets his texts regarding a hole-punch.
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: {{spoiler|The Greendale Human Being in "Pamphlet Serious".}}
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: The Human Being for a cheerleader.
Line 53:
* [[Bad Bad Acting]]
* [[Bechdel Test]]: Fails. As one of the female students point out, the "movies" didn't have any positive female characters.
{{quote| '''Chang:''' Maybe that's because all my female students are negative.}}
* [[But Liquor Is Quicker]]: Senor Tigre attempts to liquor up Amanda, Starburns's ex-wife.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Inverted with the princess, who turns 15 during the story but is played by a Greendale student, meaning she's likely at least 18.
Line 66:
* [[Mayfly-December Romance]]: Lord Diablo (played by Leonard) and the princess, who is barely 15.
* [[Show Within a Show]]
* [[Special Effects Failure]]
* [[Stylistic Suck]]
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Starbrows has the power of observation.
Line 100:
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]:
** Part 1:
{{quote| '''Annie:''' Dean Pelton, you seem extra-animated this morning.}}
** Part 3:
{{quote| '''Abed:''' Welcome back, table. It's been a long hiatus.}}
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Jeff and Troy.
* [[Mistaken for Subculture]]: Britta assumes Kyle is homeless.
* [[Monochromatic Eyes]]
* [[Noodle Implements]]:
{{quote| '''Dean:''' There's a complicated hazing process, but we had to slash our pickle budget.}}
* [[Pop Cultural Osmosis Failure]]: Britta mistaking the plot of ''[[Lord of the Flies]]'' for ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.
* [[Reality Subtext]]: Not counting "online students" causing financial difficulties mirrors how "online viewers" are not counted in ratings.
