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.
And this is clearly 1800s Disney racism, to boot.
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.
Don’t want to use your imagination? Gay (male) sex is pretty messy. In addition to all the semen flying around, with anal, sometimes shit happens. Hey, you asked. Plus gay men have lots of sex (far more promiscuous than straight men, on average).
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.
my understanding is that gay men use baby wipes instead of toilet paper because it keeps the butthole cleaner, in case they hook up. it’s preventative, not post-hoc.
It wasn’t “pocket”, it was “pouch”. To hold the guy’s junk.

REVISIONS A (something) WILL BE (something) (something)
AS SOON AS WE KNOW. THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE
UNTIL THEN TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT’S
GOING ON! THAT’S WHAT WE’LL BE DOING.
THANKS C. HAWK BOARD
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.
Anyone else think that it was Abed who fixed the AC problem that even John Goodman couldn’t?
That’s what I thought at first.
Wasn’t it Troy? I was distracted during the episode and need to rewatch but wasn’t that the point, that Troy was able to fix it?
That’s what the dean thought, but the guy telling him about it was looking at both Troy and Abed.
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.
The detective from Math Net?
No, he was one of the main cast. Larry Cedar, my stupid memory is sheepishly supplying. Let me check. Yep.
Dude, bravo on the call! I actually see that guy everywhere (and most people from Square One. They’re ALL bit actors!) but I had no idea it was him under that ivory wig.
Props!
He also had a regular role on “Deadwood” as bumbling Leon (I think that was his name).
