a lot of people talk about abed comparing troy to comfort TV, but not enough people talk about the implication of how, by saying that, abed positions himself as a parasocial fan
#im not bringing this up to have a “durr are troy and abed Healthy” discussion w myself bc i dont think thats really interesting#whats interesting to me is how troy and abed each view their relationship and how they position themselves#like particularly how troy talks about abed in Contemporary Impressionists#idk i think about it a lot and wanna store that thought here. maybe ill elaborate if i feel like it#community tv#community#troy barnes#abed nadir#trobed#although to be fair this is a one off line in Emotional Consequences of Broadcast Television#so i dont think it should be seen as a consistent insight into abed's inner world when it comes to troy#However i like taking funny bits very seriously because thats how youve gotta commit to the bit
