That was the biggest laugh of the night for me. Chang is my favorite character from the entire series, with Troy and Abed coming in a close second.

Speaking of which, was I the only one a little disappointed that they didn’t do Troy/Abed instead of Abed/Pierce?

Jeff’s point was that they could do that with anyone, right? Troy/Abed would have been too easy. They probably will have the next romantic relationship on the show.

Yeh, and the grimace on Troy’s face after that was awesome.

And yes, Chang reminiscing with Annie’s Boobs about getting smacked in the back of the head was a huge laugh.

I also liked Troy’s line, “That bartender was like 1800s Disney racist. We learned whole new ways to hate us.”

The title of the (hour long) season finale is “a fist full of paintballs”. So the Western clips might actually end up being from a real episode.

Yeah, but the obviousness would have been part of the joke.

**BigT** thanks for the Hulu link.

That was a pretty decent episode. I loved the part with the dean coming in the room in all those crazy costumes. Also, the Pierce and Abed memories were pretty funny.

Quick question. I guess I missed the episode where this is explained, but, the monkey is Annie’s boobs?

Yeh, early in the season, Troy acquired the monkey (I forget how or why) and named it Annie’s Boobs (much to Annie’s chagrin).

Oh, OK. Yeah, I guess I missed that episode then. Thanks.

It was last season. The on where they got rich as part of the chicken strip mafia.

This was a brilliant, brilliant episode. Community is the most sarcastic show I’ve ever seen. I mean, just the flashbacks to the Old West “episode” - how many shows were they mocking there? I loved it. Jeff’s speech at the end had me breathless with laughter, and I loved the glimpse of what Abed’s Claymation Christmas episode looked like to everyone else. Ah, I’m not expressing myself well, but that was a true gem.

Now I see the brilliance of Abed’s cape! I guess his tv genius-ness is fallible, since his prediction was wrong.

The Glee parody was so great, especially when they made a point to show Pierce in his wheelchair. 😃

My favorite part of that was the fact that all they sang was the word “Singing” over and over.

I ment to mention this, but I forgot. It was nice after not getting to see it go back to normal in the episode itself.

I loved that the Glee parody was set during Pierce’s time in the wheelchair, just so he could be the guy from Glee in a wheelchair.

(And the Cape finale was also available on OnDemand, not just the internet)
