During this period of extreme Community confusion and uncertainty where we’re pretty sure we have the old showrunner back, but not 100% DVD commentary sure, the streets ahead gang over at r/Community are passing the time determining what Troy and Annie would have really looked like in the Origins episode by unearthing high school yearbook photos of their real-life counterparts. Just your typical protection mechanism stuff when you don’t want to get your hopes up that mom and dad are for sure getting back together.
First up we have a young Donald Glover who clearly had dreams of a Danny Glover mustache.
And here we have a teenage Alison Brie Schermerhorn whose sole purpose is to confuse UPROXX commenters.
Rose Bowl Joel McHale for good measure? Rose Bowl Joel McHale for good measure.
Welp, I know I feel better about Season 5 already.

And of course Alison Brie was gorgeous back in high school and Donald Glover was awesome.
Why is Joel wearing #86’s pants?
Good catch!
Seen that picture a half dozen times and never noticed that!
I was just thinking the same thing. Must’ve been a prank, I’m sure
Maybe he’s wearing #84’s shirt!
I refuse to comment on the Alison Brie picture, and assert my rights under the 5th Amendment not to incriminate myself.
I will never get over how much young Joel McHale looks like Michael Shannon
Holy shit!
THAT’S WHO IT WAS. I couldn’t figure it out and it was killing me.
What’s confusing about a hot high school senior?
uhhhh… Burnsy just asked me.
You were supposed to say “What?” – it’s one of Burnsy’s classic jokes.
“What’s confusing about a hot high school senior? …NOTHING! If she’s attractive, she’s a princess and her Dad will pay for the abortion. If she’s ugly, you got a kid on your hands!”
Hmm… sounds more like advice than a joke. Burnsy is magical like that.
I believe this gif sums up my reaction to Alison Brie [media.tumblr.com]
High school Alison can still get it.
and I would call her Ms. Schermerhorn.
I’d let her Schermer my horn, if you know what I am saying.
Usually girls who were hot in high school end up uglier as they get older. It’s obvious Alison Brie is no mere mortal.
and conversely, usually homely girls in high school grow into full blown hotties in their 20’s. she’s definitely a rare breed
That photo makes Alison look like she went to high school during 19th century. It makes me want to write her a letter about how taxing the war has been with the North.
Huh. Didn’t think she could get cuter.
Did she tease and pander to her high school class mates?
No I keed, I keeed!
Pretty angry I didn’t wear a tux in my picture now.
All of his Gambino lyrics about his teen experience are validated with that picture.
Huh. Alison looks pretty ‘Plain Jane’ in her highschool pic.
I would love for Donald to grow a mustache for the season premiere.
That’s what I thought too. Why is her left pupil so much bigger than the right? She’s pretty but not as pretty.
Her pupils look different sizes because of reflection of the flash on her eyes, its just a trick of the camera. If she had messed up pupils back then she would still now. Also you do realize she’s not wearing any make up to speak of in that picture. Most notably the eye shadow she uses these days to accentuate her eyes is not present. On another note, holy hell did the three of them age well. Alison and Danny literally looks exactly the same in their 30s.
I meant Donald, whoops.
..Yup, still would tap that.
(notice how I didn’t say which gender I was referring to.)
Does it matter which one? I mean….
They looked a lot less different from their current selves than, say, Zooey and Rashida. Give young Donald a shave and some Proactiv and he’s exactly what we have now. Give young Alison longer hair and a name change and she’s exactly what we have now.
