I’m really not a fan of community. Maybe I never gave it enough of a chance, who knows.

In terms of shows that debuted after Community?

-Portlandia

-Schitt’s Creek

-What We Do in the Shadows

-Corporate

-Detroiters

-I Think You Should Leave

-Silicon Valley

-Vice Principals

-Righteous Gemstones

-Documentary Now!

-Nathan for You

-Review

-Baskets

-The Eric Andre Show

I’d say all of those shows are funnier than Community.

I’ve watched only two of those - “What We Do In The Shadows” & “Vice Principals” and both of them feel downright amateurish compared to Community, as well as one-note. Community is not about quick’n’dirty gags, the jokes build up like a snowball rolling down a mountain and a lot of the elements are intricately linked to many other elements. I’d also challenge you to find a better example of truly meta humour, subversively breaking the fourth wall without coming off as obnoxious or try hard. It also often delves into the completely absurd, almost on the same high level as the old Monty Python stuff. Besides (and yeah this one is very subjective) it’s immensely re-watchable and has some of the best cast chemistry out there. Which is why it started to fall apart so quickly when it inevitably went down the flanderisation route, as well as began side-lining and shedding characters. The people who adore Community, love it precisely because it is one of a handful of shows in an ocean of mindless cheap thrills (comedy or otherwise) that was unapologetically high concept. As the saying goes: “Big Bang Theory is about nerds, Community is for nerds”.
