193 free Community trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
42 free Community trivia questions with answers. Community TV show trivia for people who know the difference between the darkest timeline and a regular Tuesday at Greendale. These 193 questions cover all six seasons of the NBC (and then Yahoo Screen) sitcom: Jeff's fake degree, the study group's origins, Chang's many jobs, Pierce's moist-towelette fortune, the paintball wars, the stop-motion Christmas, the seven timelines of "Remedial Chaos Theory" and the long road to the Peacock movie. The set starts easy — who created the show, what Troy's last name is, which network aired it — and works up to production trivia: the season-four showrunner swap, the Russo brothers leaving for Marvel, the fan flash mob outside 30 Rock, the pilot's ratings and the episode that was pulled from streaming in 2020. Every answer is checked against a documented source, so if a question feels wrong, that's Greendale for you. Streaks, streaks, streaks.
