The AVclub review focuses the description on Pierce and his father, but although that was the A story I suppose, I will remember this ep primarily for the B story. This episode would not nearly have been as enjoyable for me if it didn't have the B story.

Who is that plumber? He's so everyman.
The A.V. Club review identified him as Jerry Minor, which sounded familiar...because, yeah, he was in Mr. Show ! And a million other things.

Totally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do I know him from SNL? I can't work out how he is familiar. I love that one of his credits is Magical Negro.
Off to AVClub...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OMG. I laughed so hard I barked in my office.
If I get in trouble, I'm blaming it on ita.

Last night's "Big Bang Theory" had me crying with laughter.
I enjoyed the negotiation as much as the cuddling, I swear.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
So, if I was to finally give up on catching up on previous seasons of Community and just watch what's currently available on Hulu, would I be missing out on crucial backstory or otherwise diminishing the goodness?

The goodness will be diminished, for sure, since there are running gags and references to established character traits, but you could probably jump into the last few episodes and figure it out.

Hm. Well, I eventually mean to catch up, if I have to rewatch this season when I do, that'll probably not be a terrible thing.
