Heroic Origins

The Phantom Reference

Abed pieces together the heroic origins of the study group and also sort of does a prequel thing. Everybody gets mad at each other as they tend to do. Also, we piece together how Community is a prequel of its own.

Ben dual wields Excel spreadsheets. Mike prefers [redacted] to [redacted].

Advanced Introduction to Finality

2023: Let's All Get Licked

On the eve of Jeff's graduation, the darkest timeline versions of the study group cross over into the prime timeline in order to get Jeff to be cool again, along with paintball guns that transport the person who gets shot across the timelines. Make sense? Good. It definitely makes sense.

Meanwhile, we make 20 minutes of Bean Dad content, for which I regret maybe everything. But the Twitter poll I put up requested that I not edit out Bean Dad.

Ben becomes Pierce. Mike becomes Andy Richter.

Good Morning Greendale Nights 4

#WatchOutForTheGoop

We're done with the infamous season 4 so we're blowing off some steam by talking about video games, Ted Lasso, weddings, and and concerts.

Ben spends five hours picking up boxes. Mike is just a tired man.

Repilot

How To Be Intimidating In Pajamas

We're back with season 5, and so is the study group (sans Pierce). Jeff tries to get everybody to sue the school but in the process ends up becoming a teacher instead. The rest of the group is as codependent as ever, even after their lives have fallen apart.

Meanwhile, we contemplate ways to get to adult websites, talk about being intimidating in pajamas, Mythbusters, and a certain movie about a certain musician.

Ben watches 182 episodes of Scrubs. Mike gets excited for a biopic.

Introduction to Teaching

A Big "Citation Needed"

Jeff has his first week of teaching at Greendale and it goes exactly as well as you'd expect (a riot breaks out). Abed takes a class on Nicolas Cage and loses his mind. And us? Well, we're growing extra fingers, doing some impressions.

Ben is Cage-in it to the streets. Mike is Cage in 600 seconds.

BONUS: The Laugh Track

I could not get a regular episode this week due to work, so how about a bonus episode? Contains many, many swears.

Basic Intergluteal Numismatics

We're now a Ben Folds podcast

The Ass Crack Bandit is terrorizing the school, and the study group has to solve who dunnit. The words "butt" and "ass" are said about 30 million times. The Dean traces a call.

Meanwhile, we're talking an awful lot about Ben Folds and spoiling two different non-Community shows. Whoops.

Ben falls in love with a toaster. Mike dreams about Fred Willard.

Cooperative Polygraphy

After Pierce's funeral, everybody gathers to remember him, until a strange lawyer shows up with a polygraph team to interrogate the study group. It's another bottle episode, and you're not going to want to miss it. Unless you happen to hate canisters of hyper-verile sperm.

Meanwhile, we accidentally show off how much we know about a little American sitcom called Home Improvement and share thoughts about a Community Movie before even learning that the Community Movie is happening.

Ben is a filthy poor who doesn’t understand how money works. Mike makes headlines.

Geothermal Escapism

The Zombies Stole my Orb

It's Troy's last day and as such, the school holds a giant game of "The Floor is Lava." Abed puts up a $50,000 comic to make things interesting, and things sure do get interesting.

Also, this is the episode where they finally say the word Colorado.

Ben goes DK Mode. Mike gets cloned.

Analysis of Cork-Based Networking

Ben and the Wildcat on Rock 107.44

Bear down for midterms as we try to cut the bureaucratic red tape around getting a new bulletin board installed. It's a winding tale that involves getting custodians adult websites, getting IT professionals better parking spots, and and The Terminator complete oversight over all bulletin boards in the entire school.

Meanwhile we also talk about the horrors of doing IT work and weather it's better to wear a horse head costume or a onesie.

Ben has a really poor choice of words. Mike sits in a corner and stares at it.
