DOCTOR WHO ON COMMUNITY!!!!!

They call it "Inspector Spacetime" but they're totally spoofing Doctor Who. It's even mentioned as "being a British Scifi show that's been around since 1962".

DOCTOR WHO ON COMMUNITY!!!!!

*squee*

They even showed a "clip" with fake Daleks and a sort of Tom Baker looking "Inspector".

This season's going to be AWESOME.

I... is this for real??

ZOMG MODE.

Although how many people will actually get it? I know exactly one American outside of fandom who watches the show. Of course, I also know exactly one person outside of fandom who watches Community. But in general I've always felt like DW was more of a UK thing, and even then I'm not sure how popular it is in the UK.

Of course, they might just do what they've done in the past and heavily parody one thing but also parody other things.

Community has a pretty big geek following actually...

As for how mainstream Doctor Who is, I've found toys at Toys'R'us and both toys and shirts at FYE. Plus, BBCA always shows a TON of Doctor Who commercials during the Daily Show and Colbert Report right before the season premieres.

Yeah, it was standard Community jokiness, not as much as their made up British Cougartown.
