30 Rock
Arrested Development
The Office
And now Community?
I just watched the first two episodes, and it was amazing! Everyone should go watch the show right now.
Possibly my favorite part about this trailer (can I call it a metatrailer?) is how they make it look like a heartfelt after school special/Glee commercial about half way through; manipulative and overly emotional music, unnecessary slow motion, a dissolve that goes from one guy walking to the same guy walking in a different direction, and culminating with people fighting then coming to terms with things. This formula has been seen in EVERYTHING EVER ON TV. Don't believe me? Jump 3/4 into any of the trailers below, right to the point when the music changes to something overly dramatic or emotional, and take a look (especially the last trailer).
