While Arrested Development prefers to hide its subtler gags in plain sight so fans can slap themselves for missing them the first 10 times, Community contains a number of incredible gags and detailsthat never draw attention to themselves and are all the more mindblowing when you finally notice them as a result. Both shows can be viewed multiple tim...
Community is made up of an ensemble of very distinct characters but the running jokes attributed to the lives of Arrested Development's characters are truly next level. The show will often make jokes that don't pay off until later in the season rather than just later in the episode and the reincorporation of old jokes throughout the show feels far ...
While Arrested Development certainly parodies a number of different genres, it's done in a way that never really breaks from the house style, so to speak. Community, on the other hand, pours everything it can into its chosen genre in one particular scene or episode and can deviate vastly from the central reality of the show for a short time. Action...
It's hard to rank Community and Arrested Development based on performances or casting because both shows do such an incredible job in both of those fields. Arrested Development retains far more of its core cast than Community does but Community's replacements for lost cast members were always terrific, even if it meant that certain actors didn't ge...
While Arrested Development is more of an overall experience, where events in the overarching narrative are more important than individual episodes, Community could deviate wildly from what the show establishes as the norm for an episode and then return to the standard set up the next week.

There are so many of Arrested Development's greatest qualities that you can also apply to Community but this, sadly, isn't one of them. Whilst certainly not the worst thing ever, Community's fourth season was far more controversial with fans than even Arrested Development's and it simply feels like an entirely different, and considerably worse, sho...
The precision that creator Dan Harmon insisted on with the show's character developments and humor would ultimately lead to its initial downfall but the results spoke so strongly that it's one of the biggest reasons why the show keeps coming back from the dead. Jeff Winger is such a meticulously composed character, as evidenced by his trademark spe...
Arrested Development is a show that fans don't tend to aggressively argue as the greatest comedy series ever because so much of what makes it so isn't easy to put into words. It's just kind of self-evident. The laidback quality to the characters and events allows for far vaguer themes to play out over the course of a season or several. The recurrin...
Not that the audience doesn't feel for the characters of Arrested Developmentbut it's always purely a comedy. Elements of drama and suspense are used in an always tongue-in-cheek way that's ultimately building to a punchline.

Music is often a strong aspect to Community but it can't really compare to composer David Schwartz's achievements with Arrested Development. So much of the show's character comes from not just the breezy, often beautifully sentimental, score, in conjunction with Ron Howard's narration, but a number of hilarious original songs that have become class...

- “Pier Pressure” Do you want high-quality sharp joke-telling? “Pier Pressure” is a sterling example of that. It’s a comedy firing on all cylinders. The episode is goofy and clever in equal measures.
- “Good Grief” The multiple scenes of Bluth family members walking solemnly with their heads down to “Christmastime is Here” from “Peanuts” is iconic. It’s right up there with the chicken dances.
- “My Mother, the Car” Lucille was never the best mother, even when her kids were young. However, blaming a car accident you had on your son, who is dealing with memory laugh after the accident, is perhaps a new low.
- “Out on a Limb” This was a show that loved to foreshadow jokes and events, and nothing was more foreshadowed on “Arrested Development” than Buster losing his hand by having it bit off by a seal.
