Danny Pudi plays Abed Nadir on Community, whose new season starts on Friday, October 19. He also happens to have very sound advice about cheating boyfriends, disrobing situations, and embracing your own butt dance.

If you have a question for a Grown Person, please send it to youaskedit@rookiemag.com and write “Ask a Grown Man” or “Ask a Grown Woman” in the subject line, accordingly.
Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

Log in to replyAbed is awesome <3
Log in to replyBut it's so weird to hear him talking like a normal person… :)
Sorry, whenever I watch a tv show or a movie if it's the first time I've seen something with an actor in it, I just call them by their name in that show or movie even if it's a video like this where they're not acting… yeah…
Anyway, he gave great advice (and Abed is awesome even though he's not real ^^)
