Oh man, awesome Sealab tribute in the last two Archers of the season. Even Murphy's fate was a shout out. Looking at the guest vocal cast, I have to assume it was Jon Hamm as Murphy, but I did not recognize his voice at all.
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

Yup.
but I did not recognize his voice at all.
Nor I. Acting!

I also very much enjoyed the Bob's Burgers reunion with Gene and Louise Belcher in the mix.

Aw, Doc Potterywood was just in an AFLAC commercial on hulu. Cutie.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Okay, I don't like the reason for the "body-switching" bit -- I think as a plot, it was weaksauce. But I love when Jeff steps up and supports the wacky antics in the end.
And I could watch Donald Glover FOREVER. His "Abed" was fantastic, because he was doing Troy-as-Abed.
Also, Jim Rash is awesome.

Annie's reaction to the Dean was pure gold.

He was seriously good.
I really liked this episode from top to bottom.

Loved this ep to bits. Funny and weirdly touching and sweet. Agree with all the kudos above, and will add that I liked Shirley's "Then you need to learn the words, we, us, and our."

Shirley was excellent, if not very showy, this ep. I love that she's in the running for valedictorian - when she presented the business plan for the sandwich shop I was reminded that she was at Greendale to learn and had obviously been doing so, it's nice that that's a plot point.
I think I was already on board to watch Donald Glover in anything he does, but this performance certainly reinforced that.
Oscar-winner Jim Rash wrote this one, is that right? I'm starting to think he might know what he's doing. And that he wrote himself shirtless is kind of funny.
