Dylan Matthews was a senior correspondent and head writer for Vox’s Future Perfect section. He is particularly interested in global health and pandemic prevention, anti-poverty efforts, economic policy and theory, and conflicts about the right way to do philanthropy.

It’s official: Community is coming back for a sixth season, exclusive to Yahoo, with creator Dan Harmon back as showrunner. It is no longer the darkest timeline:

To celebrate, here are 29 of the show’s best scenes (or, at least the best readily available online). The list is obviously not exhaustive; the show’s track record is solid enough to make that basically impossible. But it’s a start:

1. Whenever Britta Britta’d something

2. When Jeff played pool

3. Whenever the Dean made an entrance

4. Whenever Magnitude pop-popped

5. When Troy tried to defeat a troll by eating it

6. When Gary transferred to Hell

7. When the gang was unduly defensive about the Barenaked Ladies

8. When Abed channeled Don Draper

9. When Abed and Troy asked out the same girl

10. When Annie developed Stockholm Syndrome

11. When Annie blew everything off

12. When Annie did the Disney face

13. Whenever Troy cried

14. When the gang found buried treasure

15. When Troy was genuinely sweet to Annie

16. When Annie killed a blacksmith

17. When Pierce left sperm to everybody

18. When Troy met LeVar Burton

19. When Beetlejuice showed up

20. When Troy and Abed became news anchors

21. When Troy and Jeff matched wits

22. When Troy got a monkey

23. When Troy called Britta “a pizza burn on the mouth of humanity”

24. When Abed was an extra on Cougar Town

25. When Chang went all John Woo on the place

26. When Troy opposed vigilante justice

27. When Jeff ate all the macaroni
