“ We are the only species on Earth that observe "Shark Week". Sharks don't even observe "Shark Week", but we do. For the same reason I can pick this pencil, tell you its name is Steve and go like this (breaks pencil) and part of you dies just a little bit on the inside, because people can connect with anything. We can sympathize with a pencil, we can forgive a shark, and we can give Ben Affleck an academy award for Screenwriting.”

Community came out of the gates swinging.
It really did, first season knocked it out of the park, and it really didn’t start getting inconsistent until late season three, even then it’s still great
Is Good Will Hunting not considered a good movie? I’ve only heard good things about it, and that’s the Academy award I see for Ben Affleck.
Yes, Good Will Hunting is considered a good movie, a high quality movie in fact. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
There is however a rumor that Good Will Hunting was written solely by Matt Damon, or at the very least the best parts of the film were written by Matt Damon. The joke being that Matt Damon earned the Award, and Ben Affleck's name is just attached, but we feel bad for him so he gets the award too.
In fact the first season of Family Guy, released shortly after the film references it, https://youtu.be/DRd_Gv90Y4Q
I will note that there is no real legitimacy to this rumor. AFAIK it's just tabloid gossip.
I was just recently revisiting old episodes of the harmontown podcast, and there's one near the start where Dan Harmon rants about how Good Will Hunting is not a good movie. He particularly thinks the "how do you like them apples" scene is dumb. So I'm guessing, since Harmon wrote that speech, that Jeff Winger shares his opinion. He also mentioned the theory that William Goldman actually wrote the screenplay, but I think the main thing is that he thinks it sucks.
I believe it was the tour episode when they're in Massachusetts.
I'm no Dan Harmon, but I think it sucks too.
I know I suck.
But I also hate when Afleck speaks with any kind of Bahstin accent.
Next we'll find out that it was actually Matt Damon who was the bomb in Phantoms.
Oh my god. Steve is dead.
