Psychic Pierce ️ Detective Annie & Shirley ️️ Troy and Abed in the MORNING ️ | Community 1x20
Added:Hey guys, welcome back to the channel.
Today we're watching Community.
>> [music] >> Hey guys, welcome back to the channel.
Today we are watching episode 20, season 1 of Community. My name is Angela.
>> And my name is Drew, and yeah, we just got done with beginner pottery.
>> Mhm.
>> Uh where we got to uh see Pierce nearly drown.
>> I don't really remember anything from that episode.
>> Really?
>> I mean, I remember one thing from that episode.
>> I mean, Annie.
>> [laughter] >> It's all I can remember.
>> I know, so I said that when we were filming the end commentary that I was going to go back and check to see what Abed was making. And before they show Annie starting to work on pottery, he says that he is making falafel.
>> Oh.
>> Um I tried. I never once was able to check again. So, >> [laughter] >> that's me. I watched the episode again.
Just in the edit, still did not even once glance at what Abed was [laughter] doing.
>> I get it. I understand. It's That was >> We try not to sexualize her though.
>> Yes, we try not to.
>> She just does it herself.
>> It gets really hard.
>> Just gets written off.
>> [laughter] >> Demonetized.
>> Oh god, YouTube. Uh yeah, uh but that yeah, you you mentioned something about a boat.
It's a dilapidated boat.
>> [laughter] >> If you guys watch our wrestling reactions, you'll get that.
>> That would have gone live 2 days ago.
So, >> [laughter] >> um if you missed it and you're not really a wrestling fan, good news. It's not really a wrestling match.
>> [laughter] >> It's the final deletion.
>> Uh yeah.
>> We've watched that clip back, that little section, like five times. I had to. I just I love it. Um but yeah, so we had beginner pottery where uh Shirley was on the boat uh in the parking lot and Pierce nearly drowned twice uh but he crafted a rowboat and got himself back.
>> Yep.
>> Uh >> Shirley was willing to take the the failing grade or I don't know necessarily failing grade but not to be the captain anymore if it meant to save Pierce because she'd rather be a good person. And that that actually is nice to see.
>> Ooh, that's nice.
>> That's nice.
>> And I mean seconds before that, too, Pierce was helping Jeff like Jeff was like oh asking him about a PI for like when you were looking into and he's like is this about Rich in your pottery class like come on it's you're not like it is just relax, dude, essentially but like in a really nice way and encouraging to like it helped Pierce helped free take a weight off of Jeff's shoulder which I think is why >> Well, and for Jeff to go to Pierce for help?
>> I mean he didn't think he was going to him for the help that he ended up getting but it it was similar to with uh >> Getting help from Pierce is not something you really expect but when you do, it seems to be like really helpful.
>> Well, I mean he had just helped him when uh his girlfriend had broken up with him.
>> Yeah.
>> And he helped I mean Pierce is you know, we're now going into the 20th episode of the first season and at this point like Pierce is legitimately a really good character.
>> Oh, yeah, hands down he's a great character.
>> Mhm.
>> Yeah.
>> And >> It's just they build him in such a way that it's still surprising when he does something that is seemingly selfless and helpful and kind.
Not that he's not any of those things but he's just not all those things at once. But when he is, you're just like whoa.
>> Well, you never know.
>> the dose of dopamine I needed.
>> You never know which Pierce is going to come out. You don't know if it's going to be the like genuine helpful like holy crap, like I really needed that.
Thank you. Or if it's going to be the like racist uncle.
>> Yeah.
>> And then you had actually there was a really funny line early because they're talking about going on the boat and Jeff wanted to do pottery. And uh Shirley is like, "Oh, I'm going to I'll I'll do the boat one." And Troy says, "Oh, black person on a boat? I got to see this. I'm in."
>> [laughter] >> And Pierce goes, "Abed, there's going to be black people." And it's like But Shirley and and Troy are both like, "Yeah, we're here."
>> [laughter] >> And it's like It's >> He didn't say anything wrong. The the the point was is that he turned to the other person of color and was like, "You are also welcome because the black people are here." [laughter] >> Well, he also was the only one who hadn't committed yet.
>> Yeah.
>> Because uh Annie and Britta [laughter] kind of made their their stuff known.
So, it's >> try to solve that for me. It's not It's not going to work. It's not going to work at all.
>> Uh but yeah, so we're now on episode 20.
We've got uh six episodes left this season before we get to the end of season one.
>> this. I You wanted me to watch this for such a long time and I'm really enjoying it. Not only the show, but watching it with you and then getting to speak with you about it afterwards. Not only here, but like sometimes even when we're like eating dinner, it just comes up and we start laughing about stuff again. It's just so enjoyable and I'm I'm really happy I got to sit down and watch this with you.
>> Same. I'm glad that I got to get you to watch it and it's great getting to like be sitting next to you and then also do the edit and get to watch you.
>> I hear him laughing all the time while he's editing.
>> So many times. And then there's also times where I'm just like trying to keep it to myself cuz I'm like there's certain things that I know what's coming and something like that. So, [laughter] uh >> Which I have to work on cuz I don't have a great poker face. If I know something's coming, I'm just like Oh, I'm going to cry. Try to make it to where Drew can't see it.
>> Oh, I'm not even Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm even talking about like when something pops up and I'm like, "Ooh, we're like X number of episodes away or X number of seasons away from this being a really fun thing."
>> Four streets ahead.
I don't know. Somebody keeps putting that in the the comments. I have no idea what that means.
>> Well, if you don't know, then you're streets behind. So, episode 20 of season 1 of Community, are you ready?
>> I'm ready.
>> All right, let's go.
>> Good morning, Greendale.
>> Oh, it's Leonard.
>> What is April Fools' Day?
>> I would not know. I was >> I was Leonard.
>> It's the day before April Fools'. See what I DID THERE?
>> [laughter] >> I'M HIS SON, TOO.
>> CHECK THE GUIDELINES IN OUR college pranks literature.
>> You have a prank book?
>> Sanctioned pranks.
Reminds me of my favorite college comedy.
>> Oh, which one?
>> Exactly.
>> [laughter] >> Who wants some of these?
>> Cool. Yeah.
>> Snakes?
>> Oh.
>> Looking for something?
>> [laughter] >> Volunteers for campus security during times of heightened shenanigans.
>> Oh.
>> Heightened shenanigans. [laughter] >> Let's do it together. We can be partners.
>> That's a buddy cop movie I would watch.
>> Yes.
>> But I wonder which of you would be by the book and which of you would be the badass.
>> Oh, I know which one.
>> I'd be the badass.
>> Uh-huh.
>> No, girl.
>> I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I >> Annie, come on now, girl.
>> Snake in a can?
>> Oh, no, thanks. I'm passing.
>> I'm fasting.
>> I will be becoming a level six laser lotus.
>> That sounds real.
>> What does that mean?
>> I know, I was speechless, too.
Anyway, I have to detoxify for the ceremony. Salt water and honey.
>> Oh.
Can you even drink it?
>> Better if it goes down the the wrong pipe.
>> [laughter] >> Nobody in my hive has ever seen a six, but from what I hear, half a million germs and heightened psychic ability and improved night vision.
>> Any bonuses to your combat score?
>> I assume I'll fight [laughter] better if I can see more.
>> You're a dumbass.
>> Right before you got here, some guy was delivering level six ceremonial robes.
>> Why didn't you tell me?
>> Maybe if you run, you can catch him.
>> Try to use your brain, waiter.
>> That's It's prank day. It's a prank day.
>> You realize you're exploiting the naivete of a man who is being brainwashed by a cult?
>> Well, it sounds a lot less fun when you say it.
>> Everything does. She's a buzzkill.
>> I'm not a buzzkill.
>> You are right now.
>> Yeah.
>> You're more of a fun vampire. Cuz you don't suck blood.
You just suck.
>> Oh.
>> Oh.
>> Hey, Kimmy.
>> [laughter] >> Oh.
It's amazing. Wow.
>> Oh.
>> It is absolutely gorgeous.
>> How do I look?
>> May I?
>> He's so excited, though.
>> Magical.
>> [laughter] >> It's wonderful.
>> I see the only one who doesn't like this is Britta.
>> You ever get tired of being a buzzkill?
>> [laughter] >> She is totally sticking up for him, too.
>> Your windbreakers, da da da da da da da da da da da da da da your whistles.
>> Did they get a gun?
>> And da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da >> [laughter] >> Oh, poor Shirley.
>> Now, I only have the one pepper spray.
It's mine. But I'll just get my groceries in a paper neighborhood this week.
>> Oh.
>> I'm sort of the badass.
>> You are. How do you figure?
>> I don't know, Shirley. How did you figure I wasn't?
>> I guess I didn't think you because I was too busy being the obvious badass.
>> Mhm.
>> I'm sorry, what is going on here?
>> [laughter] >> This is on a classic formula.
>> me. Normally with buddy cops, one's a straight-laced stickler and the other's a renegade. But these two have equal claim to both roles.
>> [laughter] >> Hello, Bob Evans.
>> Short answer?
My cable went out.
>> Okay, yeah, I know what that's like. you mean. You got to be entertained. You might as well be here. I think you're pulling a little prank tonight.
>> Oh.
>> Tomorrow when Senior Chang's class is coming in, there will be a frog on his desk wearing a sombrero. Yes!
>> Oh, you're done?
>> That sounds adorable.
>> read the hat? Senior Chang.
>> Yeah, the frog is Chang.
>> Okay, I did get it. It's funny.
>> [laughter] >> It's not your kind of joke. It's not at anyone's expense.
>> Well, why waste your time envying my gift for levity when there's so much you could be doing with your natural talent for severity?
>> what?
>> [laughter] >> My prank is going to cause a sea of laughter and I'm going to watch you drown in it.
>> That a girl.
>> Okay, I like this.
>> Seven.
>> What?
>> [laughter] >> Stop messing with this man.
>> read minds.
>> No way. What color am I thinking of?
>> Pink.
>> What the hey?
>> [laughter] >> Hey. Cookie Chris. Cookie Chris.
>> Huh? Is he talking to me?
>> No. No, hey Pierce.
>> That guy came back that brought your robes and said he forgot to deliver this. He said it focused his your powers.
>> Is it a staff? A wand? It's a wand.
>> Is that a cookie?
>> [laughter] >> Maybe it's a piece of meteor. Buddha arrived on a meteor.
>> When's the last time you ate?
>> [laughter] >> Oh man, he's yeah, I know what he's saying with last time he ate. I was like, oh yeah, he's delirious for sure.
Five-O with a hat is better.
Or is that a porcupine? How do they They porcupine?
>> Frog, can just borrow you for a second?
>> Okay.
>> I'm saying your [laughter] character.
>> Don't tell me that's not funny.
>> It's cute. I don't know about funny.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, no, that's funny.
>> Real quiet.
>> [laughter] >> Oh god, is that an actual >> Why do they have a cadaver?
>> OH MY GOD.
>> [screaming] [screaming] >> I THINK IT WAS ALREADY DEAD.
>> IT'S A DEAD BODY.
>> What makes it worse is this was a brand new sign.
>> [laughter] >> Unfortunate.
>> Don't worry, your school's reputation is way worse than this.
>> [laughter] >> Here's our campus security.
>> Yeah, just stop right there.
>> Oh, ladies, don't pull up on that.
>> Oh, Annie.
>> What up, boys? [laughter] I'm Annie Edison.
But people call me Psycho because I had a nervous breakdown in high school. My partner's a Christian housewife.
>> [laughter] >> Actually, can we not help you?
>> I tend to play by my own rules.
>> She loves rules.
>> I only have one.
Stay out of my way.
>> Stay out of mine. More.
>> You know what? This is misdemeanor vandalism. You ladies can take care of it yourselves.
>> Yeah, fine. It's all yours.
>> They're on the case.
>> Will they figure out that it's Britta, though?
>> they got 24 hours to solve the case.
>> They do. You have 24 hours to solve it or else.
>> Thank you, Abed.
>> [laughter] >> That's the poster.
>> [laughter] >> April Fools' Day is banished. At Greendale, April 1st is officially March 32nd forever.
>> How do you [snorts] know it was one of us?
>> Does March have 31 days? Okay.
>> Why are you dressed like a wizard?
>> Okay, is he having a stroke? [laughter] >> Security officers Bennett and Edison found this at the scene.
>> Oh god.
>> The little hat says Chang on it. And we ruled out your teacher because he has a crippling fear of frogs.
>> I told you that in confidence.
>> That would have actually been a really funny prank though.
>> Yeah.
>> All right, that wasn't [laughter] just a good dab. That was thrown out that window. It was a person with family and friends. And for every day that nobody confesses, this class will be meeting one of them.
>> Oh god.
>> I apologize. Can you come on in here?
Hm?
>> Yes.
>> And tell us about your son.
>> Harry was a wonderful man. He kept a dream journal.
Page one.
I had that dream again.
>> Jesus, it's like what the hell's happening right now?
>> I'll run, but I'll run.
>> Yeah.
>> IMPRESSIVE AND HILARIOUS.
>> [laughter] >> THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT.
>> I knew it. Nicely done.
>> [laughter] >> It's going to play into the whole Brit is a buzzkill mythology.
>> Well, the toe tag fits Brit.
>> [laughter] >> You better think about coming clean or I'm just going to tell everybody you did it.
>> Oh boy. Yeah, you killed it for the entire school, dude. Oh no.
>> He makes one false move and I'mma go Shirley on him. That's what my high school friends called crazy.
>> Maybe I'm tired of everyone thinking of me as a little girl. Maybe I want to be in charge of how I'm [music] defined.
>> Well, how do you think >> [laughter] >> Do you have like taffy?
>> I I'd get it though, why she'd want to be the badass one.
Addison.
>> The man you're looking for is Jeff Winger. Jeff.
>> Oh, Britta.
>> I didn't recognize the voice. They say Jeff Winger's our man.
>> Oh.
>> Drop them if you smoke them.
>> Cut to action sequence.
>> Let's roll.
>> Cut to action sequence.
>> [laughter and gasps] >> I like Abed being involved in this this kind of way.
>> Agnes, Lacy, what can I do for you?
>> [laughter] >> It's a routine search.
>> What are you doing back here, guys?
>> I can pat you. I can do it, too.
>> So, uh what do you got in the bag?
>> Yeah.
>> Books.
Lunch. Oh.
>> what we have here.
>> Mother of pearl.
>> What do we have here?
>> Oh my god. Look at all of those sombreros.
>> Britta.
Britta planted that.
>> Sure she did.
>> Tell her that's what our equivalent of a judge is.
>> What does that even mean?
>> I guess the dean.
>> He's getting away, YOU OLD DOG.
>> THIS IS EVERYTHING ABED HOPED FOR.
>> [laughter] >> IT'S OUR ONE MORE TIME TO YELL and get him.
>> No. I think you can't go I thought they were going to get stuck.
>> I'm going after him on foot.
>> Thank you, Abed.
>> I'm cutting him OFF ON THE OTHER SIDE.
>> JUST HELPING MOVE THE PLOT ALONG.
>> [laughter] >> JEFF actually running.
>> I said, "STOP."
>> YOU'RE GOING TO RUN INTO YOUR OWN CLOUD, GIRLFRIEND.
>> [screaming] [snorts] [laughter] >> OH.
OH, THERE'S A TREE in the front.
>> He got away.
>> Good job.
>> He got away because of your driving, Grandma.
>> You know what? This is why you have hardly any friends.
>> Surely.
Oh goodness.
>> Excuse me.
I have to go to the bathroom. I'll give you the rest of these chocolate covered raisins if you save my seat.
>> No one's taking your seat.
>> Well, now he's going to hold it for him.
>> But I can't believe he was eating Raisinets. It's like the first time Abed's done something where I'm like, "Abed, no."
>> I mean, your high-speed pursuit caused $78 worth of damages.
>> Oops.
>> He got away. He ran between two poles.
>> Well, I see how that would be frustrating, but the fact [laughter] is >> Your ass is on the line.
>> My ass is on the line?
>> got off the phone with the mayor.
>> I just got off the phone with the What the mayor?
>> [laughter] >> I'm not doing this right. Maybe you should do it.
>> I'M SICK AND TIRED OF MAKING EXCUSES FOR YOU TWO. YOU'RE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE DEPARTMENT. YOU'RE OFF THE CASE AND OFF the force. Your badges, YOUR WINDBREAKERS NOW.
NOW! I AIN'T GOT ALL DAY.
>> OKAY.
>> Aggravating my sciatica. I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS. NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT. THOUGHT YOU WERE BADASSES, HUH? Real badasses work together.
>> He's teaching them a lesson.
>> Popcorn.
>> And don't EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING NEAR THIS CASE. UH-UH.
>> GOOD JOB.
>> HARSH. BUT DON'T WORRY, THAT'S what they needed.
>> It is. I mean, they're probably going to go solve it together.
>> Yeah. That was embarrassing.
>> Leonard is carving Dean Pelton sucks into the >> I saw. Believe me.
>> I don't know about you, but I don't need a badge to finish this.
I say we wing it to the wall.
>> Abed did it.
>> Good job, Abed.
Chief Abed.
>> How do you spell testicles?
>> [laughter] >> Oh my god.
>> He's like 80.
>> Look who we found.
>> Yes, how foolish of me to hide in my regularly scheduled study group.
>> [laughter] >> Britta was going to put a frog wearing a sombrero on Chang's desk because that's the kind of thing she thinks is funny.
>> No.
>> Then why is there a photo on your Facebook page of a cat wearing a necktie?
>> [laughter] >> And the tie makes him >> Studious.
>> No. Formal.
>> [laughter] >> You need a psychic.
>> Oh boy, here we go.
>> Fortunately, they've got one. This process may alarm you.
>> Sure.
Might melt?
>> Gay. Gay. Gay. Gay. So gay.
>> [laughter] >> Dark nightclub.
Thriving music.
>> Thriving music?
>> MENSTRUAL MENSTRUAL STALL.
PENIS.
TWO PENISES.
OH, SO HE'S LIKE A GAY. HE'S SO [laughter] GAY.
>> GO EAT SOMETHING, PIERCE. Sit down.
We'll take it from here.
Jeff, where were you last night?
>> At a bar.
>> Called it.
>> [laughter] >> WELL, LET ME >> OH MY GOD, ANNIE.
>> WHAT THE HELL? Are you putting on handcuffs?
>> Annie, you're a psycho, and if I were you, I'd tell her what she wants to hear.
>> That's right, because if I have to hand you off to Shirley, you're going to enter a kitchen of pain.
>> Jesus, a pizza cutter.
>> Stop it, I did it.
I framed Jeff.
>> But why?
>> Because I'm a buzzkill, that's why.
Because that's who I am. That's my role. You guys, you create fun, and I destroy it.
Of course this silly little joke ends with a a dead body on the lawn. I should have [laughter] known that, but I wanted to do it anyway, cuz I wanted to be like you. I wanted to be funny. Knock knock.
Who's there? Cancer. Oh, good. Come on in. I thought it was Britta.
>> Aw.
>> The only reason I slammed Jeff's head against the table was because I wanted to feel like an adult.
>> Aw.
>> [laughter] >> He's just like, "What the hell?"
>> [snorts] >> And I wanted to feel younger like Annie.
You know, it's not that I'm really old, cuz people don't know how young I REALLY AM. SEE?
>> [laughter] >> UH-HUH.
>> I WISH I WAS REALLY MAGIC.
>> [laughter] >> You know you're not?
>> Somebody must have sent these robes by accident. I only pretended that I was level six to impress you guys. I got [laughter] held back.
>> Aw.
>> I didn't deserve this Buddhist meteor wand.
>> [laughter] >> This not a meteor. It's a cookie wand.
Jeff made it because it made you look more like the Cookie CRISP WIZARD.
>> [laughter] >> WHAT'S EVEN WEIRDER I GET because the Cookie Crisp mascot wasn't a wizard when I WAS A KID. [laughter] >> THAT'S WHY I WAS CONFUSED.
I was like, "Why did he call him Cookie Crisp? I DON'T GET IT."
>> AW.
>> GREAT, I DID IT AGAIN.
I killed the buzz.
>> Maybe buzzkill is a bad choice of words.
>> What's a good choice of words?
>> You're like the dark cloud that unites us.
>> [laughter] >> The the anti-winger.
Uh you're you're you're the heart of this group.
>> Aw.
>> Look, I don't um I don't have a real handle on all this mushy stuff. If if I did, then we wouldn't need you.
>> Aw.
>> That is so nice.
And I DID SEE ABED.
>> LET'S NEVER LET Jeff divide us again.
>> [laughter] >> Where are you and I the only sane Just watch.
It's beautiful.
>> Troy, >> [laughter] >> do you want to bite at my wand? I do.
>> Troy took a bite of my wand.
>> I really appreciate you doing this.
>> Sure.
>> And three, two, one. Troy and Abed in the morning. [singing] And we're back. Look who's here, Jeff Winger. Jeff, how do you stay so fit?
>> Uh diet, exercise, genetics.
>> [laughter] >> Sure, sure.
>> Okay, so it seems as though we have a clip you want to set it up for us.
>> Okay. I >> like to, but I don't know what you're talking about.
>> Okay, we'll just roll it.
>> Ooh, my name's Jeff Winger.
>> Hey, I'm Jeff Winger. I'm so tall.
>> Ah, this watch is expensive.
>> Muscles are everywhere.
>> Oh, that was really funny.
>> Guys, what's going on? Where are the cameras?
>> Oh, we're not filming this.
>> No, who'd want to watch this?
>> Oh, guys, [laughter] it's 6:00 a.m.
Geez.
>> [laughter] >> We're not going to have him back.
>> Troy and Abed IN THE MORNING.
>> [laughter] >> THE FACT THAT YOU WERE READY FOR THAT, you >> Mhm.
>> Sounds like you. Okay, so >> know why it's Troy and Abed.
>> OH.
>> YEAH.
>> Troy and Abed in the morning.
>> I just learned it. I'm sorry if it was off.
Uh, okay.
>> [laughter] >> Oh, I wasn't sure when that actually would pop up cuz I was just like it's I it felt like that's been a staple or was like a [laughter] thing that was very early, but for that to be in episode 20 is like, okay.
>> Okay.
>> All right.
>> I like it.
>> Always love those end credit hits.
>> I always look forward to them.
I do. I really do. But the fact that you were like ready to go you when you saw it like there must have been like a light inside of you that just like lit up.
>> I was like, oh my god, it's the morning show. Leonard [laughter] in the window with the it's my birthday sign like he's outside the Today show and >> Oh my gosh, Leonard scratching what was it?
>> Dean Pelton sucks testicles but couldn't spell testicles.
>> Testicles.
>> [laughter] >> Uh, I have to appreciate Leonard. Oh, Baba Booey, Baba Booey.
>> [laughter] >> And then with the kick me sign on the back of the Dean's or on the back of the Dean.
>> I wonder what strike one was cuz the Dean turned around and was like, okay, Leonard, that's strike two.
And that's where you see the kick me sign.
>> Mhm.
>> I have to wonder what he did to earn strike one.
>> It's probably the reason why there is a cadaver in the lab.
It's a joke. Anyway, that went dark.
Buzzkill. Sorry.
>> [laughter] >> I'm wearing black.
>> Okay, Britta.
>> I know. I'm I'm the heart of this whole thing.
>> You are.
>> Huh. Well, I think that that's actually really nice.
Uh Britta, I I actually think Britta's pretty funny.
It's just sometimes they make her not so funny. [laughter] >> She's definitely got a Everybody else is funny and they have their like style and Britta is just funny.
>> Yeah. Well, and the funny thing is is that Chang is definitely afraid of frogs, so him wearing a sombrero a frog wearing a sombrero on his desk would have been a funny prank cuz he would have been terrified.
>> Mhm.
>> But instead, she killed [laughter] the frog and dumped a dude out the window.
>> I mean, that just sounds like a Britta trying to do a prank. Of course, it's going to end with a dead guy on the lawn.
>> Yep. Yep. Did I think Well, what was the what was the name of this episode?
>> The science of illusion.
>> Science of illusion.
Huh.
>> I'm [laughter] trying to figure out what the illusion would be. I guess >> I guess it'd be Pierce being a wizard.
>> The Cookie Crisp mascot, which >> Which I didn't get cuz I when he called him Cookie Crisp, I was like, I don't I don't get it. And then the cookie one came out and I was like, okay, but then I was like still like, I don't get it because >> it was the robber who would get caught like when I was a kid.
>> Well, and I also thought that there was like a dog.
>> I think the dog was the robber and that was like the wrong character.
>> Cookie Crisp. Yeah, okay.
>> driven away in like the uh the police car.
>> Yeah.
>> jail or whatever.
>> Okay, yeah, because I was like, I don't get the wizard part, but of course Starburns is old enough to know the wizard part.
>> I do like that touch that like [laughter] the only people who found that or understood that reference are like two of the people of a different generation than everybody else. Leonard didn't pick up on it cuz he probably didn't ever own a TV uh in his life >> [laughter] >> Troy is too young but Jeff being older >> Right. I'm surprised Pierce didn't pick up on it though.
>> Well, he's like Leonard's age.
>> Yeah, well and he's starving. So >> [laughter] >> That's also true.
I got to look at I want to see what the picture looks like cuz I think I have done it before.
>> What?
>> The Cookie Crisp Wizard. Yeah, so on the original of someone >> Oh.
>> So there is that and then I just happen to see this which was funny right below it is uh >> [laughter] >> Pierce That is hilarious.
>> Feel like the coolest guy in the world fortified with psychic ability for mind reading packed with meteor flavor.
>> Meteor.
Well, that is funny. Annie and Shirley immediately when it's just like oh which one is what did they say?
>> The badass and like which one is like the eager to please or >> By the book.
>> book and immediately I'm like oh Annie's by the book and Shirley's the badass because it's not necessarily default to Shirley being the badass but Annie's seems like somebody to be by the book so it would fit her more. Uh well They both wanted to prove something that one it's not just an innocent little girl and not just an old lady.
>> Yeah.
>> [laughter] >> And >> And Abed >> Just keeping the train moving with all that. He's like all right.
>> He's absolutely the highlight of like almost every episode for me.
>> Mhm.
>> And then our boy decides to eat Raisinets in front of me.
>> He did have multiple bags of popcorn in different >> I know but I was like literally on a date with somebody and they got Raisinets and I was like that's an ick.
I'm not going out with them ever again.
>> I don't usually snack at the movies. I feel like Junior Mints or M&M's would be the direction I would go just cuz I like basic chocolate.
>> I I don't know what I watched early on my channel but I said something about Raisinets or raisins or something and I spoke about that and like here it is like five years later and I'm still like I can't believe he ate Raisinets at the movies. Like who gets chocolate-covered raisins? What he was also formerly Mormon, so >> [laughter] >> that tracks.
>> No, yeah.
Oh, I thought you were talking about Abed was formerly Mormon. I'm like I don't think that's the case. No, but >> No, no, no, no, no, no.
>> You're talking about the date.
>> I'm just I'm just saying that, you know, it's it's an egg for me, but I'll let Abed have a pass because he's perfect in every other way.
>> I love he just found a way to have like a front row seat to everything and because he's seen every single cop buddy cop movie, he's just like keeping the keeping it rolling.
>> He knew what to say to motivate them to they still didn't solve the case.
But they did enough to Jeff that it made Britta break where she was just like, "Oh, I can't let this keep happening."
But like yeah, like they were just like, "We don't We don't need badges to solve this crime." And then like look at them working together. It's exactly what Abed said >> [laughter] >> cuz Abed knows everything.
>> Yeah.
>> He's good.
>> I love him feeding the Dean lines and the Dean just repeating it verbatim.
He's just like, "You know, you've got 24 hours." "You've got 24 hours." "The mayor's been on my ass." "The mayor's been on What do you mean the mayor's been on my [laughter] ass?"
It's like, "Oh my god, I just it's such a great I don't know. It's just it's such a unique to that character kind of thing like where to have cuz you could get an episode where it's like oh buddy thing, but it's it's Abed that makes that such a unique >> Well, >> execution of >> the easiest go-to would be to be Abed and Troy would be the buddy cop >> Mhm.
>> duo, but having it be Annie and Shirley is funny because of the two things that they are is not the two things that you want in a buddy cop >> Mhm.
>> movie and they really, really want to be the badass.
>> [laughter] >> Like drawing at the police officers.
It's like >> Annie's spraying the pepper spray and just running into the classroom.
>> when she's like spraying it, I was like, she's just going to get herself. Like [laughter] She's like, I did pills. And it's like, well, calm down.
I'm psycho Annie.
>> [laughter] >> Like, no, I don't think you are.
>> She's a housewife. It's like you God.
>> [laughter] >> Oh, I And that also continues to be one of the strengths of this show, which is you never know who's going to get paired with who.
>> Right.
>> And it always works. Annie and Shirley as a duo.
Fantastic. And with Abed in that group.
>> Troy and Jeff.
>> Troy and Jeff and Pierce.
>> yeah. Like, well, it was it was Jeff and Troy getting Pierce. But then like the reveal at the end of Troy just being like, I just wanted Jeff to think I was smart.
Like, it's so funny.
I love it. I love this show. It's And And then even like the the snake in a can thing and it was like the subversion of expectation. It's like >> Very Troy, too. For that I love that that's the thumbnail for that episode is Troy holding up the snake in a can just smiling.
>> make any sense cuz it's just Troy holding up like a thing of peanuts. You don't know what's happening. That does The science of illusion and then a can of peanuts with Troy. That None of that makes sense.
>> Yeah.
>> [laughter] >> The beginner pot we're we're looking at on Peacock. So, the beginner pottery uh thumbnail is just Jeff standing up in >> looking bewildered.
>> [laughter] >> The one for basic genealogy above that does >> the Changs getting ready to throw down.
>> [laughter] >> Over the windmill that Pierce was drawing.
Oh, yeah. I really do love this show and we're coming up to the end of season one. We got five more episodes to go.
>> I'm excited for it.
>> Yeah. So, uh I That That is just great. And the the first Troy we get Troy and Abed in the morning, you now understand one of the main comments about the whole way at the beginning. It's like, "No, it's Troy and Abed."
>> Every time I would say Abed and Troy because it's alphabetically how you're supposed to say it, everyone's like, "I think you mean Troy and Abed." And I was like, "What does it matter?"
>> It matters.
>> Troy and Abed in the morning.
That's why it's important.
>> There's no cameras. They're just [laughter] doing a morning show with lapel mics clipped on.
>> Which is funny because he's just like, "Where are the cameras?" It's just like, "Why didn't you ask that when you sat down?"
>> [laughter] >> He's just there. And people like are showing up and they're in the windows.
>> 6:00 in the morning.
>> I think my favorite pairing, obviously, is Troy and Abed. But like when they were Bert and Ernie, like just they're so great. They're rapping, they're interviewing to like join the cool group. Like it's it's just always so good.
>> Donde esta la biblioteca?
>> I know, I need to learn it. I need to learn how to beatbox so I can probably spit on the mic and give people an ASMR they don't want, but >> Yep. We already did that once, I think, at some point where we did that. So apologies for that. Not going to do that again.
>> sounds." I'm like, "Sorry."
Yeah. I don't like them, either.
>> We have been working on getting other microphones, but it's hard with the close quarters at the moment.
So we're trying to see what we can do.
>> It's really because he's so loud that my mic picks him up and drones me out.
That's really what the problem is. So, anyway, guys, if you want to watch Flying Through Action to this episode, it will be available on our Patreon up to two episodes early.

Cuz I know I didn't, and I already think I'm pretty freaking old.
Um >> I just wanted Jeff to think I was cool, so I just went along with him laughing.
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
>> [laughter] >> I wouldn't care if Jeff thought I was cool.
Abed, on the other hand, I definitely want Abed's approval.
>> I feel like Abed 100% would understand the reference just because he's watched so much TV.
>> knows everything. But he wouldn't think you're smart. He would just be like, "Yeah, everyone knows that." And then just carry on with his day. Cuz there's not a mean bone in his body.
Raisinette bone in his body, which we have to talk about that, but one day I'll let it go.
>> But that day is not today. So let us know down in the comments below what your choice of movie snack is.
>> like Raisinets?
>> Why?
>> Yeah, why?
Seriously, why?
>> I mean, I guess it's better than just straight raisins, but it's still like the worst way to eat a grape, isn't it?
>> It's the It's the worst way to eat chocolate.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, the worst cookie experience you have is thinking you're biting into a delicious chocolate chip cookie and getting oatmeal raisin.
>> Yeah.

>> Yeah.
>> Yes.
>> I love big, buttery, salty, clog my arteries popcorn.

>> Maybe we need to work on harmony.
1 2 3. Troy and Abed in the morning.
>> [laughter] >> I don't know the harmony to it.
>> And we're done.
>> Sorry about your ears.
>> [laughter] >> Ooh, my name's Jeff Winger. That's a really great little bit of entertainment. I got a hold of. That was fairly funny.
