Community 1x04

Community, Social Psychology,  on NBC
Imagine having Señor Chang as your Spanish teacher! This man is utterly deranged. He received student evaluation cards and actually took the time to analyze the handwriting against past exams to find out who gave him such scathing feedback. Recognizing the little circles dotting the I’s from Annie’s handwriting, he slowly approaches her desk, shoving his face in hers, rubbing his nose against hers, and kissing her forehead. Poor girl! Hilarious, though, but totally insane and creepy. Anyway, this would be the episode in which we are introduced to shirtless, micro-nippled, hacky-sacking, surfer hippie Vaughn (is that his first or last name?) – the most annoying creature to breathe air on earth, but frightfully good looking. Obviously Britta has a crush on him, to Jeff’s great dismay. He tries not to show he’s jealous. Fortunately for him, Britta feels Vaughn is taking it to relationship status too fast and comes to Jeff for advice, which gives him an opportunity to sabotage the relation – but it won’t send Britta rushing into his arms, though. Meanwhile Annie’s taking a psychology lab with Prof. Duncan. The experiment involves making subjects wait unwittingly until they reach their breaking point. Naturally, Señor Chang breaks down the moment Annie walks in to tell the subjects they are running five minutes late! After three hours of waiting, only Troy and Abed are left. Prof. Duncan never counted on this! Troy crawls out, but Abed just keeps sitting in the waiting room, patiently waiting. Twenty-six full hours! It’s Duncan who breaks down in desperation. When Annie confronts Abed about not leaving, he admits he was livid, but stayed because she told him they were friends. Guilt trip! Laugh-out-loud funny!

  1. Chevy Chase or Jeff Winger right? One of the two has to be your favorite. Chang makes the show funnier! Admit it you've read evaluations and knew who wrote them sometimes. Haha.

  2. Pierce is a stubborn pain in the old rear. Shirley is nice. (Get it?) Troy and Abed are adorably funny. I love Annie. I wish I could be Jeff. But you know very well that lovely Britta is my favorite. What a gal!

    I always checked students’ handwritings with their evaluations, duh! Like Abed, some kids really do write their names on it! (Though you never get to see those evaluations until after the grades are in...)
