I scrolled down Cafe Society and didn’t see a **Community** thread. I’m kind of surprised.

I thought it was a pretty good episode, although I didn’t think “Britta it” was all that funny.

So at the end it’s Troy and Abed sown together and they did a similar song to evil Troy and Abed. I’m sensing a theme. I wonder if they’ll do something similar next week.

I think it’s the song from the _Troy and Abed: In the Morning_ segments they did last season.

My favorite part was Troy jamming along while Abed sang the song from the radio in his story.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that.

I like how Britta was reading “Warren Piece”.

It’s a variant of the theme song from [their fake morning show](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxDTRaUj15s). I think the first variant was in the stop-motion episode.

Edit: Argh, beaten to it.

I laughed out loud when Troy carried Abed in, explaining that they were Top Gun pilots, and Abed whispered, “Pew, pew, pew.”

Another great episode IMHO.

What was the significance of identifying each of the test sheets at the end?

I think Abed was designated the sociopath and potential killer.

Actually he was the only ‘normal’ one after they found out the real results.

Remember, Britta fed the test sheets into the Op-scan reader upside down.

It turned out they were all nuts… except Abed.

What a twist!

It makes sense. Abed would know all the answers to make himself not look crazy.

Pierce’s test was almost completely red, which I think was meant to show that he was the most psychotic of them all. Which isn’t surprising, really.

OK, I get it. Thanks.

ETA: Good thing she didn’t test Chang.

Though since she’d already run the tests through the machine and it had marked up the sheets, how could she have just turned them around and run them again. (And if Abed’s was almost all right the second time shouldn’t it have been completely marked up from having been all wrong the first time.)

It is interesting to me that Britta (or rather Gillian Jacobs) is very good at intentional bad acting, but not very good at intentional good acting.

If this were an episode of Inspector Spacetime, I’d have the perfect answer for you:

Look! Monsters! Run!

My favorite segment was probably Pierce’s. I always love it when he goes out of his way to make himself look awesome. And I also got a kick out of the bit where he threw the punch with his huge dick.

He’s DickPuncher. His dick has the power of punches.

Not the greatest episode, but I completely lost it when Jeff turned from biting Britta and said “Teach me to read.” Who knew that could be the funniest laugh line of them all?

My wife is always doing sudokus or looking at magazines while we watch TV (a habit I find mildly annoying, but I think that’s my problem, not hers).  
I laughed so hard at the dick-punch that she was all “WHAT? What’d I miss? Go back! GO BACK!” She doesn’t usually do that, which made the moment even funnier. I was happy to go back.

My DVR was busy taping something else (Great Pumpkin!) so I watched this on the NBC website just now while eating lunch. I had to put my hand over my mouth once or twice so I didn’t spew food on the laptop from laughing.
