Veritas724 later posted this message on youtube:

It's like, do you think that I would put this much work and money into something if I wasn't saying I love you? ”- '' Dan Harmon '' from the Community Season 2 DVD commentaries “ Everybody.kind of assumed we were taking a big crap on the shippers because they're very sensitive, they're very defensive. Some of the Jeff/Annie fans who did know felt that it was mocking the fandom.ĭan Harmon insisted it was in fact a tribute and would later defend himself further on the Season 2 DVD commentary of the episode by saying he spent $30,000 of his own money to pay for use of the song: Most were unaware that the 'Gravity' sequences featured in the episode were actually referencing a real fanvid. He told her to expect a surprise in that episode, adding that it should be considered an homage and 'a sincere thank you note, to the Van Halen of Community fans.' After the episode aired, however, there was some confusion among fans. You're on to me, on to me, and all over.ĭan Harmon personally tweeted the creator of the video Veritas724 on her twitter account about an hour before 'Paradigms Of Human Memory' aired. The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.īut you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go. Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.īut you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

No matter what I say or do, I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone. The song Sara Bareilles video with lyrics Sara Bareilles would later guest star as the' Balloon guide' in the Season Four episode ' Intro to Felt Surrogacy'. The homage in the episode not only used the song but also mimicked the look as well as the editing in the fanvid. It currently has been viewed over 200,000 times. It was brought up further in Season One DVD commentaries by the cast. It features the song 'Gravity' playing over an edited montage of footage featuring Jeff and Annie. It was first uploaded on youtube on Novemand was inspired by the then just recently aired episode 'Debate 109'. The vidding that inspired its homage in ' Paradigms of Human Memory' was mentioned by the actors themselves in interviews as well as by creator Dan Harmon on his twitter account.

It is a rare instance of a fan labor that has been incorporated within the canon of a television show. The use was intended to be an homage to a similarly titled Jeff/Annie shipping fanvid that was created by a Community fan known as Veritas724. ' Gravity' is a song by singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles from her 2007 album, 'Little Voice' that was featured prominently in the Community Season Two episode 'Paradigms of Human Memory'.
