Harmon: I think the last time you asked us about it, we made a self-deprecating joke about it and moved on because we didn’t want to make the whole interview about that issue. The show doesn’t have to be difficult for us. It was a couple hours of us just sitting on the floor with our laptops - we split a Ritalin, and then we wrote the pilot. It was three o’clock in the morning, and I said, “What about this f- ing Purge thing we keep talking about? Let’s just do that.” And Ryan Ridley was like, “Well, we can’t start writing a new episode now that we’ve spent all this time trying to break the story for this thing,” and I was like, “No, we can.” And in a fit, I just started jamming out this thing, almost sarcastically writing an episode, which is really how we wrote the pilot. Harmon: In trying to write the second part, we just couldn’t write. So we wrote the first part of the finale - this is how the sausage gets made. We had a nervous breakdown - we a two-part finale.
And then the Purge episode, it literally took just as much time for me to type the first three-quarters of that episode as it did to watch it. It took almost the entire season’s worth of prep time to write the first episode. You mentioned that Purge episode - I think that’s the biggest lesson I learned from season two. Every time I watch that scene, I laugh - just the specificity of Schrab‘s voice performance, and then Dan going, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa - guys, guys! Take it easy!” The other thing is the “ plumbus” thing - I’m just so happy that exists.

One of my favorite moments was the very ending scene of the Purge episode - it’s a bunch of guys standing around, and they’re trying to figure out how to reestablish the society. Roiland: I have two that pop into my mind. Harmon: I had nothing to do with it, and I think, at Community - which I almost never bring up in these interviews - it starts with pride at creating something, in this case with a good friend and collaborator, but again, one of the biggest joys of doing more episodes was hiring people that get the show because they’ve seen it on TV, and they’re coming in and going, “What about this joke or this idea?” And it’s like, “Wow, this is better than just making something cool.” This is as close as I’ll get to giving birth to something that’s now walking around. Roiland: ( Laughs.) I do love that moment. They’re aliens, so I guess they know what they’re doing. And then the larger doctor seals the surprisingly -large-for-a-nano-doctor in the chest of the patient.
They cut the patient open, and then the doctor says, “ Nano-doctor.” ( Laughs.) And the nurse hands him a tiny doctor and says, “ Nano-doctor.” And then the nano-doctor says, in my falsetto voice, “ Nano-scalpel.” And the nurse hands him a tinier scalpel. Harmon: My favorite moment of the whole season is in the inter-dimensional cable episode where they’re in the hospital and Dan Guterman‘s joke - just the nano-doctor. What are you most proud of about season two? Which moments from the season stand out to you? I think, if anything, we’re just our own harshest critics, so we’re beating ourselves up for no reason. It’s definitely not for lack of our hard work and trying to make it as good as we possibly could. We went into the premiere thinking the first episode was going to be received poorly, and it wasn’t, and then I think that trend has just kept going across the season. Roiland: I’ve been surprised with the reactions across the season. How are you feeling now that the season is wrapping up?

They also discussed how the third season will differ dramatically from the first two, the latest on their side projects - including Harmon asking Roiland why he wasn’t invited to help with one potential series - and why their previous interview with THRmay have helped bring the first female writer to the show’s staff.
