Jeff- Impossibly handsome(trust me, he grows on you) ex-lawyer who's license was suspended due to it being less-than-legitimate...So Jeff and his lawyer-esque powers of persuasion are forced to enrol in college to validate his license. He chooses the most effortless route possible, enrolling in Greendale Community College, where he stumbles across a group of ambitously-challenged(yeah, I'm making that a thing) misfits of all ages, races, and sanity levels in a quest to get some puss-ayyyyy.
Britta- See above puss-ayyyyy. Britta dropped out of school cause she thought it would impress Radiohead, and subsequently became one of those vegetarian Peace Core hippies that actually do very little except preach. Despite this, Britta has a certain vulnerable charm, and is often seen as the mum to Jeff's dad of the group(does that make sense? Probably not). Anyway, Britta is always keen to help the others with their mainly ridiculous problems, and her and Jeff's ever-growing sexual tension leads to some great moments.
Annie- Little Annie Adderall as she was once know is the baby of the group...recently leaving school due to a brief addiction to pills. Some what of a goody two shoes, Annie is determined to show that she does not need to be constantly mothered, and her growing sexuality throughout the series makes for some great storylines.
Abed- Possibly the greatest character ever created by television, pop culture junkie Abed joined Greendale to join his family falafel business. However Abed's constant(and I mean CONSTANT) need to refer everything back to tv and film prompts the characters to help him fund film classes. Abed's obsession with film and lack of ability to connect to real life come in surprisingly useful, as he can instantly characterise people and situations, leading to the group believing he may have Aspergers.
Troy- Another youngster from the same high school as Annie, Troy is an ex football player who accidently on purpose dislocated both his shoulders in a keg stand(sorry, KEG FLIP, they're very hard to pull off). Troys...lack of brain power shall we say, makes him extremely watchable, and his bromance with Abed is probably the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
Pierce- Oldie of the bunch Pierce(played by the great Chevvy Chase) isn't quite all there, and his accidental racism and homophobia are, to be frank, fucking hilarious, as are his constant attempts to be seen as young. Once a moist towlette tycoon, Pierce is a naive, rich, stage seven 'reformed Buddist' who really has very little reason to be at Greendale bar boredom.
Shirley- Usually calm and motherly Shirley has been left somewhat bitter after her husband left her, and is studying business to launch her online baked goods company. Whilst usually appearing calm and sweet, she has a party animal side to her that pops out occasionally, which is always fun.
Yeah so this is what has been consuming my life recently, it's a lot better than I make it out to be...sorry.
