Watch: 'Community' co-stars Joel McHale, Yvette Nicole Brown & Jim Rash at Comic-Con

More (furry) fun from TV's loosest comedy cast

Yesterday, I posted the first of two long video interviews I did with the cast of "Community" at Comic-Con. Today, it's time for the second, with Joel McHale, Yvette Nicole Brown and newly-promoted regular castmember Jim Rash.

We talked about Rash's new position, Dean Pelton and Jeff Winger's strange relationship, whether Shirley's baby will change her role on the show, and a lot more. As with the Jeong/Chase/Pudi interview, it's long but very, very funny.

And a footnote to the whole thing: at one point, while discussing Pelton's sexuality, I brought up a comment from one of my season 1 "Community" reviews that winds up informing much of the rest of the interview. And if you think I was exaggerating about that particular comment, feel free to take a look (it's the next-to-last comment on the second comments page, from "Geniufur"). And, for the record: furries.

Again, I hope you enjoy this, and that it helps make the wait until the show's September 22 season 3 premiere just a little bit easier.

    Why did you not "furries" in the tags, headline, text, embed code...

    These three seemed to have much better chemistry than yesterday's. Ken interrupts/talks over everyone and Chevy just sat there looking annoyed.

    It's as if you've never heard of the common internet pop culture courtesy **FURRY ALERT**.

    That was hysterical. Joel asking the question about Goodfellas killed me.

    So Alan, what did you think of Donald's show? I saw it in Minneapolis and was blown away.

    This interview was full of win! OH MY GOD! I laughed so hard. I'm going to watch this several times. Jim Rash with Joel and straight faced Yvette to bounce off of was just comedy genius! I'm so happy that you didn't force them to answer all the same questions I have seen in a billion other interviews. You let them do what they do best which is play off each-other. Thank you so much for giving me something to watch to tie me over till season 2 on dvd comes out. I'm having Community withdrawals. Too bad Alison Brie wasn't at comic con I would have loved to seen her with Danny and Donald. They also have rocking chemistry! OMG all the Furrie jokes were awesome. They kept on doing call backs. Love this cast! I didn't like the Chevy, Jeong one I thought they didn't have much chemistry. Just talking over each other.

    I absolutely adore Jim Rash. Dan Harmon has mentioned this before, but Jim is actually a really successful writer. He wrote the script for the new Alexander Payne/George Clooney movie "The Descendants" that seems like a sure thing for awards consideration. I love that so many members of the cast have these interesting side-careers and can bring so much more to their roles than you would expect.

    Really fun interview.
    They have some really nice chemistry there, much more enjoyale to watch than Chevy being obnoxious and Ken being loud.
    I do wish the writers could make a way for Yvette Nicole Brown to come across sweeter on screen. She always seems so lovely in interviews and yet they have trouble making her character anthing more than snarky

    I enjoyed that... it was way less awkward than the gang with Chevy Chase (whose energy is very, very strange).

    That was one of the funniest interviews I have EVER seen. I've never seen Joel have such a good time in one of these, and the chemistry among them was terrific.
