We all need to go ahead and get comfortable with the fact that this show may never again be as awesome as it was last week. And I'm OK with that. Because last week's was one of the funniest TV episodes I've ever seen.
So let's not start trashing Community and whip out, "It wasn't as good as the Paintball Episode," every week.

found this online... you're welcome...

and i agree, nothing will ever top last week. That was lightning in a bottle, hitting on all cylinders.

Wow! I can't believe how good this show has become. It was really mediocre in the beginning. I think I've already laughed more this week than last week & I've still got 9 minutes.

I can hardly wait to see who they cast as the anthro professor. I hope Chang doesn't join the group but instead ends up popping in and out like say Starburns.

Definitely a worthy followup to the paintball episode. Great lines, and even some great sight gags. Pierce asleep with a book on his chest entitled "Talk Dirty Spanish" was great.
The twist ending was a nice little surprise too.

This show started out as a show that I really wanted to like, but the first handful of episodes kind of left me cold. Then something happened as the show got to about the halfway point in the season - everything started clicking. Now it's one of my favorite shows. If the 'paintball' episode doesn't get nominated for awards, there's something really wrong going on.

tons of good lines. so glad this was renewed. i laugh more watching this than i do with 30 Rock and the office (generally). with this and parks and recreation, it's a damn good comedy block.

My favorite, heavily paraphrased, line of the night-
Troy: I understood about 50% of it which help me get through the other 50%
Abed: Kind of like the first season of "The Wire".

So was there some kind of 'Good Will Hunting' parody going on?
I've never seen that movie.

I think the best bit of the episode was Troy stealing the piece of chalk.

I didn't get around to watching the show till the first 4 were on my DVR. Watched them all in one go and by the 3rd I thought it was pretty goddamn awesome. I don't remember a mediocre beginning at all. (Outside of maybe the very first few episodes.)
