Comedy 1: A Little Song, a Little Dance, a Little Seltzer Down Your Pants

That's funny - I'm pretty sure that reading about that ep here is what convinced me to start watching. I hadn't been in this thread for a while. Chalk one up for good timing, or good picking where to start reading again fu, maybe.
Yes, vampire arms! That was, "Just be yourself," right? Oh, god.
Unrelated aside: After after having seen Dark Knight this weekend, I realized that BatVoice just makes me think of Abed now.
Those are all good.
I like the fiiiiiiiiiight one also because it's so typical of Troy to not be able to think of a lie on his feet like that. Like in Interpretive Dance "I have a perfectly normal class like Math or something then" when Annie wants to move when they meet.
Vampire arms are, of course, iconic.
The climax of the zombie episode is pretty wonderful, can I count that as one long moment?
Yes, you can!
Oh, man, totally that whole bit where Abed does vampire arms.
Troy was trying to get out of having started to say that Jeff was about to, "...fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..ght," to Shirley and just couldn't sound his way out.
I flove that moment. That entire scene, actaully. Troy's Forest Whitaker eye is pretty epic. And Pierce telling Jeff he fights like a North American-Korean seamstress and Jeff going, "... not if that's bad." Britta and Abed in the peanut gallery. It's one of my favourite episodes of the entire show.
Oh! And Anthony Michael Hall and the fly dancers! Britta's gleeful "C'mon! I'm being punked, right?" The dance-fight to the Florence and the Machine! Come to think of it, I like it better than the claymation Christmas episode even though it's obviously less ambitious.
A lot of my laugh-until-I-cry moments are non-verbal: Chang's Chow Yun Fat entrance in the first paintball episode; Annie and Abed pantomining "Hector" going at it with the Elf Maiden, BDSM-style; the epic pool game between Jeff and the PhyEd teacher, cumultating in both of them tearing their underwear off with a barbaric yawp.
ETA: D'oh. Of course I meant to say North-Korean seamstress...
Oh, I can't quite believe one of mine involves Pierce, but the whole bit where Pierce teaches Troy to sneeze like a man.
North-Korean seamstress. I just watched that the other day, it might be the one that got me started on the whole "Season 1 was awesome!" train of thought. They really do Xmas episodes well, don't they? I would have a hard time choosing.
Oh! Chang beating on Jeff's car with the keytar! Safety first!
I can't pick just one, I'm gonna keep throwing them out as they occur to me.
Not a favorite moment, but in he Jack Black episode, when he goes off with the cool study group, Starburns is one of them. I'd forgotten that.
What's a favorite moment for you(se)?
"What is WITH that CAT?!? Is someone THROWING it???"
