Welcome back to another week of Community! I’d like to take a poll: Who are your favorite and least favorite characters respectively? Ponder on that while you read this week’s recap.

Someone has cheated on a Spanish test and Senor Chang is NOT PLEASED. He threatens to fail the entire class if the cheater doesn’t fess up within 24 hours. The next day in class, Annie screams that she cannot get a zero, and Britta confesses. The Dean tells her she’ll have a trial in front of Senor Chang and Duncan (if you’ll remember Jeff’s friend British friend.) in the pool area. Jeff is allowed to be her counsel, and she first says she didn’t cheat, and she’s called a hero for wanting to keep the class from getting a zero. Then she says she really did cheat, and left the evidence in the classroom because she wanted to get caught due to her guilt. Jeff presents her as insane to the faculty because she never actually wants to succeed. All charges are dropped, because it’s punishment for her to have to stay in school.

Pierce somehow convinces Annie, who is in some song writing club, to let him write the school song to be unveiled along with a statue of Luis Guzman, who apparently graduated from Greendale. It turns out he’s really bad at song writing, and his own company song was a rip off of ‘She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain’. He wants to give up, but Annie tells him to buck up, and at the unveiling of the statue, he presents a song to the tune of ‘That’s Just the Way it Is’. Jeff says it’s likely that Pierce will get sued.

Troy pulls a prank on Abed by telling him he’s related to Barack Obama and Denzel Washington. When Abed doesn’t understand the lies, Troy tells him that friends do that, they joke around. Abed starts talking in a made up language and writing in hieroglyphics to freak Troy out, but it doesn’t work. Troy takes back his statement that friends pull pranks on each other, and in the bumper we see them having a contest to see how many unsharpened pencils they can stuff in their mouths.

Quote time!

World leaders
Troy: The only difference between Senor Chang and Stalin, is that I know who Senor Chang is.

Take that, equality
Pierce: I may be a genius, but I’m not a lesbian.

Privacy Please
Senor Chang and Duncan are in the gym showers arguing.
Duncan: Do you want to have this conversation in a room with less balls? [To a naked man] You’re very comfortable though.
Senor Chang: You shouldn’t be.

Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better
Pierce: I’m no more of a song writer than you or Billy Joel.

So, have you come up with who your favorite character is? I’d say mine has to be Abed, and my least favorite…well, I don’t have a least favorite! I love Pierce’s eccentricities, Shirley’s sass, and I love that we get to see Alison Brie in a role outside of Mad Men. Let me know what you think by leaving your Two Cents in the comments!
