Yeah, your guess is the same as mine. Must be somewhat obvious I guess.

I believe so.

“that’s a game, this is paintball”

“Annie’s been really cool this week.”

No kidding 🙂

Such a fun episode. Also loved the opening, and the scene with Annie and Abed eating the beans, very stylized and cool dialogue. I liked how they got straight into the action and brought us up to speed with flashbacks. Why do you need to deal cards to determine whether or not kick someone out of the group? The cards would seem more appropriate to determine who was going to be eaten, because the group is starving.

Another callback was to Troy emerging from trash can, but gagging from the smell.

Do paintguns exist like the ones used in the show? Ones with chambers for bullets and shotguns? If so I may need to get into paintball.

Someone needs to start selling “I Love Annie’s Boobs!” t-shirts.

Starving? Eaten? 😕

They used cards because they were probably just handy. Everyone was dealt a red card and a black card.

I think the cards were dealt face down, so it was anonymous. Everyone just knows that annie would save pierce.

Can someone verify one of my laugh out loud moment - Troy was dressed as Sheriff Bart from Blazing Saddles?

I noticed that right away. All he needed was a Gucci saddle.

That’s another thing about this show. They brought him back for what? A 60 second cameo? Hilarious.

The voice of the ice cream cone was Cree Summers, voice of Penny from Inspector Gadget when she was a kid, now several cartoon voices (including Numba 5 on Kids Next Door).

Err, make that Cree Summer. Not sure how that last S wound up on there.

As far as the cards, I figured everyone was given one black, one red, and told to turn one back in to vote.

Again, brilliant stuff. I missed the first 10 minutes or so, so I have to go back and re-watch the ep now.

In the Annie/Fat Neil faceoff in the beginning, she calls him Christina Ricci. Is this a movie reference, call back, or what?

I also love how quickly things have descended into chaos. Who had time to go through and graffiti every square inch of wall? 🙂 I hope next year it’s a post-apocalyptic theme with roving bands in the background.

Based on the preview, I think we all know who the mastermind is, but who does everyone think is in the Ice Cream Cone?

I’m voting for “Still Missing” Professor Slater.
