Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was fiddling with my iPod before getting out of my car when I reached home, and I ended up watching almost all of Accounting for Lawyers before I went upstairs.

My whole brain is crying!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My whole brain is crying!

Donald Glover is so good at physical comedy without it being OTT.

Is that the one where they chloroform the guy and then panic? I laughed SO hard at that scene!

Yes! And then Abed's brilliant plan to recover goes so awry...

I'm looking at what he's actually doing, and it should be too much, but it's just not.

I also love how automatically they joined the poplockathon, with no discussion, and there was no time spent planning anything--no rehearsals, no procuring of costume, nothing. They just showed up in their shiny jackets and performed casually coordinated numbers. Fuck me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh lord yes. That was hilarious.

Punishingly Intricate

I KNOW!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Dan Harmon even refers to that episode as "Chloroform."

And now -- The Puppet.

Geez, now I'm going to pack Season 1 of Community when I head to Vegas in a few hours in hopes of converting my fiance's family! (So far, I've shown them the beauty of Better off Ted and The IT Crowd).

Oh, and I got a smartphone for my birthday and my new ringtone is the Parks and Rec theme song! (I'm having waaay to much fun with ringtones and notification sounds!)

Thrive to spite them

I was hesitant about Community because I really didn't like Jeff in the pilot and almost turned it off about half way through he was just so smarmy and unappealing. But I stuck through and now I think it's brilliant.

I watched teh first 4 episodes and then Will came over and so I watched them again with him. The little end bits are the best.
