Summary
"Queer Studies and Advanced Waxing" (March 31, 2015)
In its sixth and final season, Community decided to explore the series-long running joke about Dean Pelton's mysterious, complex sexuality. Henry Gilbert once again joins us to discuss how the dean is not actually gay — he may be a pansexual imp, after all — but in forcing him to pick a tidy label, this show does a good job showing how many queer people end up pigeonholing themselves in a way that doesn't fully express who they are.
Listen to Henry's podcast, Talking Simpsons.
Listen to his episode about Pride Nite at Disneyland on Podcast: The Ride.
The Community "this better not awaken anything in me" clip.
The trailer for Portuguese Gremlins, which is not only the best thing Community ever did but also a justification for the medium of TV in general.

Misso Hung-Hungi. Hungy! Hello and welcome to gayest episode. I'm Drew Mackie.. I'm Glenn Lakin. And today we are talking about the cult comedy favorite community and here to discuss it with us in person this time, even though our air conditioner is not working, is Henry Gilbert. Dina Linga. Hello. It's me, Henry. Hi. Henry, welcome to Los Angeles. Why have you come here? Did you get lost? No, no. I overstayed on a trip to Disney Pride Night at Disneyland, the official Pride Night for a vacation. And then at the Friday, I'm going to a family reunion in Sacramento. So hammocked between. I was like, I'm going to stay and turn this into a work trip and do several podcasts while I'm here. So this is the hammock position like Caroline in the City or the single guy. I choose Caroline the City. If you're making me pick one of those two. I mean, that's an easy choice. Yeah. So while you're here, you're also going to be recording something with Bob and Nina, who are going to be in LA as well. |
| 2:20.7 | But they are not coming to record with us? And I have to ask you, are we in a fight with them? Are we in a feud with them? No, no, no. They really, they only had so much time to come down. And so they're homophobic. Yes, that's that's it. No, no, they really, they only had a couple days for the, the one podcast we're doing later in the week. So, yeah, it's, but I, they, they, they would like to hang out when they come down here, though. But, yeah, we're just really tight on time. Can you give me your address? I swear I'm not going to mail them a box of bees. Oh, okay. I, well, yeah, the one thing you, it, I've learned from shipping things to them. |
| 2:20.7 | If you don't pay the, uh, the tariff or whatever to ship over to Canada, then they have to pay |
| 2:27.3 | it on return. Like I, I bought, I bought a nice birthday gift for Nina once of a Spider-Man bust, because she's a big fan of the animated series, the 1994 one. |
| 2:38.8 | And then I found out when she got it, because I did not know this about shipping things to Vancouver, that she had to pay like, I think, like 40 bucks on it or something. |
| 2:49.1 | So I then I then bid moored her that. |
| 2:51.9 | And so like, I'm sorry. |
| 2:53.2 | I think it would be funnier if you have to pay extra only to open a box of bees. I think that that's just adding literal insult to the injury. Well, sure. Then that's a good prank. What is Biden's policy in a box of bees tariff? I don't know. I don't know. but I'll come up in the debate this week maybe. |
| 3:06.2 | Oh yeah. |
| 3:06.8 | I guess that's, well, |
| 3:08.0 | or if you're listening. |
| 3:09.4 | Let's not focus on that. I'm glad you're here talking community with us. Because I will fail you on that front. We'll get to that. You know a lot about community. You have strong feelings about community. Please share with our audience your personal relationship with the community program. Oh, yeah. I mean, I was one of the community freaks who loved, |
| 3:29.4 | loved the show from, so my history with it was, I was a big fan of Dan Harmon's work before |
| 3:37.5 | community, like the Channel 101 film festival slash like pre early YouTube video thing he was doing. |
