Alison Brie Shares The On-Set Community Joke In Somebody I Used To Know

Posted by Tandra Barner on Friday, May 3, 2024

Alison Brie and Danny Pudi have kept in close contact since their days starring together on "Community." When the two reunited for the new rom-com "Somebody I Used to Know," director Dave Franco wanted to give them all kinds of freedom to improvise their inside jokes from the good old days. In fact, when Brie and Pudi's characters are first spotted together in "Somebody I Used to Know," their reunion is something that comes straight from the set of "Community." 

"This moment opens with the two of us going [singing], 'This is my note,'" Brie told The List. "I swear that is a Jim Rash joke." This bit was something that happened consistently on the set of the sitcom, and it was something they knew they needed to include for fans to see in the rom-com. 

"I have so many memories of Jim Rash doing that on the 'Community' set," Brie said. Now that a "Community" movie is in the works, there's about to be way more nostalgia happening on our big screens. 

"I'm so excited to make that movie, even more so after getting to work with Danny on this," Brie said. "That was like a toe dip into the 'Community' movie reunion."

"Somebody I Used to Know" launches globally Friday, February 10 on Prime Video.
