NBC's Community is a show for weirdos, which is perhaps why the Meow Meow Beenz Community app came to exist. Based on the imaginary app introduced in the season 5 episode 'App Development and Condiments,' Meow Meow Beenz became a real thing after a dedicated and passionate group on Reddit made it so.
The Community app featured in the show allowed Greendale students rank each other's social rankings, and as per usual an inordinate amount of chaos ensued. The real thing is not vert functional, but is available in the iTunes store for 99 cents. Like the original Meow Meow Beenz, this mobile app based on the brilliant brain of Dan Harmon allows you to share how much you like, when you like it and essentially rate anyone or anything anytime.
