Piercenault Anaesthesia Hawthorne!
That was some edible complex he had going on.
I liked the room temperature room. “I can’t feel my pants!!”
So will Troy become the center of an intra-school war? Will he combine his plumbing and air-conditioning skills and go into, say, refrigerator repair?
Surprisingly middling episode; I was hoping Community would take a “gay episode” more over-the-top, but it wound up being much more about Jeff and Pierce’s father issues and the whole gay thing was window dressing.
I did like that the episode called out to Troy’s abrupt transition from capable, popular jock to nerdy manchild.
I want an ivory toupee, so I can will it to whoever kills me.
I loved the suspense created by the music and the cinematography in the Troy scenes. It was very thriller-y.
I found Pierce’s dad’s over-the-top racism to be hilarious… “Laplanders!”
Solidly entertaining episode, lots of laughs even if it didn’t have any crazy conceptual underpinnings.
I wonder what nationality Pierce’s dad isn’t prejudiced against? He was even prejudiced against Jeff (Celtic or something like that?)
Welsh!
he was also unseasonably tan
Did you notice when Troy “won” the blindfolded air conditioner competition, the two losers had sacks put over their heads? Their already blindfolded heads? I also enjoyed the security lock for the room-temperature room … first I wondered why the retina-scan was so low, and then the Vice Dean breathed on it. Goodman was great in this episode, especially his glowering, shadowly look as he vowed this wasn’t the end, Troy Barnes …
The first two episodes this season had me afeared the Community gang had lost their touch, but with the apartment/timelines episode and this one, I say they’re back on track with a vengeance.
And on Hawthorne’s Gay Wipes package … Dean Pelton’s head! Ha!
Forgive my ignorance, but can someone please explain to me:
-
Why do gay people have more need for pre-moistened towelettes than non-gay people?
-
Why would female impersonators need to sew pockets into the undersides of their mini-skirts?
Thanks in advance.
Spoogewiping was my assumption. Wasn’t there even a line to the effect of “Whatever you’re wiping or who you’re wiping it off of,”?
And not being knowledgeable in the field of crossdressing, I can only assume the pocket would be for somehow supporting or hiding male genitalia.
I see that Peirce has made the transition from Encarta to Waikuhpeedyah.
I can’t believe I’ve seen the name Urbana Champaign all these years and never realized how perfect it would be for a drag name.
“The only thing I’m attracted to is taking him to court and eating his ass alive!”
Sooner or later, he’ll start Goggling things.
Might have been my favorite episode this year. To be fair though, this is the first one I was able to watch in real time. For some reason watching this show on delay detracts from my anticipation.
“Stop putting gay things in my mouth!”
Probable in joke: Pierce’s father’s name was Cornelius, which is Chevy Chase’s real first name.
I wondered if “You’re dead, and I’m not” was a shout out to “I’m Chevy Chase, and you’re not”. And Pierce at the “First Annual Gay Bash” reminded me a lot of Quasimodo at the Feast of Fools- having a great time til Bishop Frollo arrives, making me wonder if that was also an intentional homage.
In any case, loved the lines in the closing: “E-rad-i-cate E-rad-i-cate E-rad-i-cate” and “Whassup girl? How you livin’?” Most consistently “more funny lines than you can remember” show on television.
It took a day for a thread about this episode to be posted? You guys are worse than black Hitler!
I want me some astronaut paninis.
Another great episode, even though a more conventionally structured one. Pierce’s unintentional gay double entendre comments were hilarious, and reminiscent of Tobias Funke in Arrested Development, but amped up by there being so many one after another.
I loved the “You be me and I’ll be you” conversation.
