> [@Sampiro](#): > > Most consistently “more funny lines than you can remember” show on television. Aye. Upon a second viewing, I realize that I’d forgotten about: Britta: “I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty.” Shirley: “You can excuse racism?” Abed: “Are you Superman?” Troy: “No.” Abed: “Would you tell me if you were?” Troy: “I’d tell _everyone_. I never understood why he cared who knew.” Also, the paper on the clipboard that the air conditioning guy (the one played by Dan Bakkedahl) was holding had the Greendale anus insignia on it. ---

> [@Acsenray](#): > > I loved the suspense created by the music and the cinematography in the Troy scenes. It was very thriller-y. I was wondering if there was a specific movie homage going on there, like with the _2001_ sequence a few episodes back. The Troy scenes reminded me a little of _The Manchurian Candidate_, but I don’t think it was close enough for that to be what they were going for. ---

Why would female impersonators need to sew pockets into the undersides of their mini-skirts? I didn’t catch that in the episode. What was the line exactly? I’d guess though since the catchphrase was “Pocket full of Hawthornes”, and a lot of women’s clothing doesn’t have any pockets on it, then there may be a need to sew some on if you want to have pockets full of anything. And sewing them on the outside would just look ugly. ---

And sewing them on the outside would just look ugly. Immediately after the title sequence Annie says “I hope Pearce doesn’t really sue that ladyman singer. His life must be hard enough having to sew pouches in all his mini-skirts.” And it was “pouches” rather than “pockets.” Thanks, hogarth. ---

That’s what the dean thought, but the guy telling him about it was looking at both Troy and Abed. ---

> [@RealityChuck](#): > > Anyone else think that it was Abed who fixed the AC problem that even John Goodman couldn’t? I think that perspective is reading a little too much into it. The dean explicitly mentioned the AC problem to Troy. Also, loved the Hall of AC History with the giant ice cube display. hilarious. ---

I thought it was Troy who fixed it, however, I believe that if Abed decided he needed to learn AC repair, he’d do so and be even better than Troy. If Abed ever decided he wanted to take over the world, he could do it. ---

If nothing else, it was nice to see the guy from Square One getting work as Pierce’s dad. Too bad he died, so it won’t be a recurring role. ---
