As a devoted Community fan, I’ve always found myself chuckling at the antics of our beloved Dean Pelton, portrayed by the brilliantly quirky Danny Pudi. His eccentricities and over-the-top persona have made him one of my favorite characters on the show.

In the offbeat TV series “Community,” broadcast on NBC and Yahoo Screen from 2009 to 2015, created by Dan Harmon, the character of Dean Craig Pelton became a beloved figure among viewers. The Dean was adored for his dual personality – on one hand, he yearned desperately to be respected as a Dean, but on the other, he exhibited quirky and absurd behavior that charmed audiences.

The Dean is known for numerous delightful instances due to his passion for frequent costume switches, and as the Community film remains in production, enthusiasts anticipate even more. For now, spectators can only revisit the 110 episodes whenever an opportunity arises.

10 Dean’s Bedtime Song

Best Lupine Urology – Season 3 Episode 17

Following an eventful day filled with yams, Troy and Abed find themselves cozily sleeping in a top-bottom bunk bed within the study room for some puzzling reason. Suddenly, the Dean enters carrying two steaming cups of milk, catching Shirley off guard as she drops by to bid farewell to the pair.

As Dean passes him the cup, he croons a lullaby: “Troy and Abed, leaving Dreamland, boarding the train to Sleepy Town. Upon awakening, I will be there. Watching you. Gentle Deans.” Is this a heartwarming moment or unsettling? Given Dean’s character, it’s somewhat endearing yet slightly eerie.

Documentary Filmmaking: Redux – Season 3 Episode 8

In this episode, we see the advertisement for Greendale College getting excessively chaotic, with the Dean seemingly intoxicated by his authority. However, it raises the question of what occurs when the Dean’s fervor and commitment to the institution becomes overly zealous!

During a call with ex-student and current Hollywood actor, Luis Guzman, the dean gestures for Annie to demonstrate a film featuring Luis. As she offers him Luis Guzman’s IMDb page, the dean unintentionally assumes it’s the title of his newest movie.

8 Lady Gaga Dean

Epidemiology – Season 2 Episode 6

On Halloween night, Greendale College is under a strange spell. The Dean, in a mix-up, has unknowingly contaminated the entire campus with what he thought was economical taco filling. Now, students and faculty alike are exhibiting an unusual behavior – they’ve turned into zombies! This transformation is spreading rapidly as they bite each other during Greendale’s annual Halloween bash.

In this particular episode, many consider it one of the standouts of the series, and it’s not hard to understand why. The exceptional portrayal of Dean in a Lady Gaga-inspired costume is just one aspect that adds charm, while an unexpected heroic moment – Troy stepping up shirtless – serves as an added treat for viewers.

7 Time Hoodie

Conspiracy Theories And Interior Design – Season 2 Episode 9

In this twisted turn of events, Dean reaches his limit towards the finale, learning a hard-earned lesson: collaborating with anyone without caution can be detrimental. Despite yearning for camaraderie, he overstepped the mark, as is often his tendency.

After numerous staged gunfights, the Dean becomes deeply troubled. He pulls his hood up over his head and implores, “If only this hood were a time-traveling hood!” expressing a desperate wish to undo the events and steer clear of the intricate web of conspiracies altogether.

6 This Had Better Not Awaken Anything In Me

Environmental Science – Season 1 Episode 10

As a devoted Community fan, I must admit that there’s been some curiosity about Dean Pelton’s romantic leanings. In one memorable scene, with a Dalmatian-dressed man’s picture on his screen, Dean seemed to express some concern: “Let’s hope this doesn’t stir up any hidden feelings.” This quote is undeniably one of the funniest moments in the show.

In the subsequent episodes, spectators will find Dalmatians popping up (a play on words), appearing in seasons 1, 2, 4, and 5. This recurring theme seems to have sparked a connection of some sort within Dean’s character…

5 Costume Montage

Paradigms Of Human Memory – Season 2 Episode 21

In a comedic tribute to the traditional “flashback episode” seen often in sitcoms, the gang reminisces about past events not yet shown. Just like the Greendale Study Group is known to do, this leads to a disagreement, and as usual, the Dean intervenes in the midst of it all.

As I fire up my gaming setup, everyone tuning in gets treated to a hilarious compilation of the Dean’s wacky outfits announcing college events – think Tina Turner setting the clocks for daylight savings and a Caesar salad bar king at the cafeteria!

4 Jesus Wept!

Lawnmower Maintenance And Postnatal Care – Season 6 Episode 2

In this sixth-season episode, we get another hearty dose of laughter as Dean unveils a humorous take on power. Introducing an old-fashioned virtual reality setup to the campus, he becomes captivated by his ability to command this entire universe.

In an attempt, Jeff and Frankie persuade Dean to erase the system, yet he’s too engrossed with it, exclaiming: “Even Jesus wept, for there was no more territory left to claim!” One of the most intriguing yet amusing instances occurs when Dean eliminates a system file by submerging it in the virtual world and holding it underwater until it stops moving.

3 Look At His Shadow

Contemporary Impressionists – Season 3 Episode 12

In this installment, Jeff visits a counselor and receives anti-anxiety pills. Contrary to expectation, these drugs did not alleviate his anxiety but rather amplified his self-importance, causing Jeff to become progressively more arrogant throughout the episode.

During their first encounter in that semester, it wasn’t flattering for Jeff when Dean dramatically fell to the ground and had a fit under Jeff’s stylish aura. This absurd and amusing scene was undeniably the highlight of the entire episode.

2 Duali-Dean Of Man

Virtual Systems Analysis – Season 3 Episode 16

I’ve chosen to dress like this today because I’ve got some positive and negative updates for you.” It’s typical of Dean, always adding a thematically linked outfit when sharing news!

In this episode, the most delightful scene unfolds a bit later when the Dean expresses concern that he might have overstepped his boundaries with what he did, particularly since he had to visit the bank dressed up as Victor-Victoria. Fortunately, everyone at the bank found it amusing, a sentiment that any fan of the Dean would surely appreciate.

1 Peanut Bar Rap

VCR Maintenance And Educational Publishing – Season 5 Episode 9

As a gamer, I can’t help but wonder: Have I truly earned the title of a rap enthusiast if I haven’t memorized the Peanut Bar Rap to perfection? That’s got to be one of Dean’s most legendary moments in Community. It’s a wild mix of chaos and brilliance, just like the show itself.

The Dean simply needed to inform the gathering that their salaries would be delayed by a week, or simply send an email for that matter. However, that wouldn’t have been typical of him. Instead, he chose to rap his apology, transforming it into something extraordinary. Brilliant.
