Despite their differences, the members of the group soon become close friends.While taking select classes together semester after semester, the group members are often roped into helping the college's flamboyant Dean, Craig Pelton, in his schemes to make the school seem more respectable, as well as having to deal with the antics of their teacher (and eventual classmate) Ben Chang.Season one follows Jeff's creation of the study group and their subsequent misadventures. Season two continues their second year at Greendale.

as Jeff Winger, a former lawyer who enrolls at Greendale after being suspended by the for falsely claiming to have a. Jeff is a sarcastic, outspoken, overconfident, who constantly manipulates people to get what he wants, which is often to not do any work. However, as he becomes closer to his new study group he changes some of his habits and views.
He is more willing to make personal sacrifices for his friends over time and selectively reveals that he can be more patient and less critical than what other typically offer. as Britta Perry, an, and who traveled around the world after dropping out of high school.
Britta puts forth a strong effort to come off as proactive, intelligent, and mature to others, but she usually just comes off as pretentious and hypocritical in her views, especially those concerning her goal to become a. Despite not being as worldly or well-informed an activist as she thinks she is, Britta does have a genuine and powerful desire to help others, and has significant enthusiasm and energy in what she puts her efforts into (whether appropriate or misplaced). as Abed Nadir, a film student of Palestinian and Polish descent, with an encyclopedic knowledge of TV shows and movies.
Abed struggles to interact with others via normal means, so he often chooses to interpret the group's everyday activities by comparing them to film and TV. Despite being out-of-touch with reality at times, Abed is a keen observer of human behavior and often the wisest member of the group. as Shirley Bennett (main cast, seasons 1–5; recurring, season 6), a single mother and vocal going to school to start a brownie business. Shirley is seen as the 'mother' of the group, but she can often be overbearing in her desire to help and guide her friends. Despite having a hot temper and starting the series off as being apprehensive towards different religious views or lack thereof, Shirley is a very kind-hearted person with a strong set of morals.
as Annie Edison, the youngest of the group, a compulsive overachiever, relentlessly organized and comparatively. Annie was extremely unpopular in high school and formerly addicted to, which has caused her to be very and desperate to prove herself in a variety of extra-curricular groups despite already being considered naturally intelligent and attractive by others.

Chang's insanity often leads him to take extreme action for no apparent reason and he has alternatively been a friend and foe of the study group.

as Pierce Hawthorne (main cast, seasons 1–4; guest, season 5), a millionaire who enrolls at Greendale out of boredom and a passive attempt at self-discovery. Pierce is often at odds with the rest of the study group because of his arrogance, lack of empathy and casual narrow-mindedness. Despite his often unsociable and selfish nature, Pierce desperately wants to fit in with the group and occasionally offers great insight and advice, partly due to his own family's emotionally distant and dysfunctional relationship with him. as Craig Pelton (recurring, seasons 1–2; main cast, seasons 3–6), the of Greendale, who desperately wants his school to be more like a real university and goes to extreme lengths to try to make it fun and politically correct, while frequently explaining his many unresolved business decisions.
Although he never explicitly mentions his sexual orientation (he is once described as a ' imp' by Vice Dean Robert Laybourne), he is an avid, who makes constant and open attempts to flirt with and touch Jeff. The study group is by far the Dean's favorite group of students, and he is constantly making up excuses to dress up and come talk to them.Episodes. Danny Pudi, Gillian Jacobs, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie and Joel McHale at 2012emphasized the importance of the cast to making the premise of the comedy work. 'Casting was 95 percent of putting the show together,' he said in an interview. He had worked with several of the cast members earlier;, and all had cameo roles in episode 9 of Water and Power, a short film series produced by Harmon for.
Actor had long been a favorite of Harmon. Though initially not partial to sitcoms, Chase was persuaded by the quality of the show's writing to take the job. Harmon saw similarities between Chase and the character he plays on the show. Though Chase has often been ridiculed for his career choices, Harmon believed this role could be redeeming: 'What makes Chevy and Pierce heroic is this refusal to stop.'
Harmon had to warn Chase against playing a 'wise-ass' the way he often does in his roles, since the character of Pierce is a rather pathetic figure who is normally the butt of the joke himself.McHale, known from the comedy talk show, was also (like Chase) impressed by Harmon's writing. He commented that 'Dan's script was so head and shoulders above everything else that I was reading.' McHale appealed to Harmon because of his likable quality, which allowed the character to possess certain unsympathetic traits without turning the viewer against him.

'I was in this group with these knuckleheads and I started really liking them,' he explains, 'even though they had nothing to do with the film industry and I had nothing to gain from them and nothing to offer them.' With this as the background, Harmon wrote the show with a main character largely based on himself. He had, like Jeff, been self-centered and independent to the extreme before he realized the value of connecting with other people.About the creative process behind the writing, Harmon says that he had to write the show as if it were a movie, not a sitcom. Essentially, the process was no different from the earlier work he had done, except for the length and the target demographic.
