Community season 2 how to#

The episode manages to depict both the groupвЂ™s pathologies and the way they genuinely try to support one another. The Psychology of Letting Go: PierceвЂ™s second-season storyline really begins here, with the death of his mother. Abed must be used for good, not for evil.ДЎ4. Abed as a mean girl, meanwhile, does a good job highlighting his antisocial tendencies. Aerodynamics of Gender: Community did a lot of really bizarre plots this season, but Troy and Jeff finding a magical trampoline is probably the most bizarre plot of all. ItвЂ™s a good episode for fans of outfit humor.ДЎ5. Additionally, Jeff dresses up like George Micheal and sings вЂњYouвЂ™ve Gotta Have Jeff,вЂќ and the Dean dresses up in вЂњhis sisterвЂ™sвЂќ Uncle Sam costume. Intro to Political Science: Despite the general absence of Britta and Shirley, and being a bit too on the nose with Jeff and AnnieвЂ™s relationship, thereвЂ™s a lot of sharp political humor here between JeffвЂ™s inane catchphrases and Troy and AbedвЂ™s commentary. BrittaвЂ™s attempt to play midwife is one of the funnier gags of the season and continues her struggle to live up to her ridiculous ideals.ДЎ6. What it all means for Shirley is less clear, unfortunately. Applied Anthropology and Culinary Arts: Despite my ambivalence towards ShirleyвЂ™s pregnancy, the pay-off is quite good, going so far as to make Chang seem something close to human for a minute or two.

Unfortunately, he has no idea how to make that happen.ДЎ7. But the way Pierce turns his marijuana leaf villain into the hero of AnnieвЂ™s play is an instructive insight into his character: like The OfficeвЂs Michael Scott, he just wants people to like him. вЂњCelebrity PharmacologyвЂќ is around the time when fans really began questioning PierceвЂ™s character arc, as his behavior begins to cross the line from obnoxious to almost unbearably obnoxious. Celebrity Pharmacology 212: This is the part of the list where we move from funny episodes that donвЂ™t quite come together to very funny episodes that donвЂ™t quite come together. It also does a fine job establishing the City College-Greendale rivalry.ДЎ8. Basic Rocket Science:В This episode probably works better for people more invested in the astronaut genre than I am, but even so, its commitment to that genre is undeniable. Consequently, the B-plot here is the memorable one, making good use of BrittaвЂ™s strident liberalism and guest starring Enver Gjokaj in a funny turn as an unrepentant war criminal turned Greendale student.ДЎ9. Custody Law and Eastern European Diplomacy: ShirleyвЂ™s pregnancyвЂ“though an important story throughout the seasonвЂ“was never quite as funny or interesting as the writers wanted it to be. That narrative unevenness aside, the A-plot is good, built around JeffвЂ™s insecurity and PierceвЂ™s growing sense of alienation.Дў0. Competitive Wine Tasting: A class about вЂњWhoвЂ™s the BossвЂќ taught by Stephen Tobolowsky should probably have been given an episode of its own, not shunted off to a subplot like it is here, where it feels too rushed and not quite fully formed. ItвЂ™s just one of those really solid episodes of television most sitcoms would be thrilled to produce on any given week.Дў1. Asian Population Studies: Though I like the character of Rich a lot, thereвЂ™s nothing terribly memorable here, and thatвЂ™s why it slots in so low. There are those who really dislike this episode, but IвЂ™m not one of them, as AbedвЂ™s attempt to understand religionвЂ“and ShirleyвЂ™s growing frustration with the film that attempt producesвЂ“is both good character work and an incredibly impressive thing for a sitcom to try. Messianic Myths and Ancient Peoples: Maybe the most ambitious episode of the season, вЂњMessianic MythsвЂќ just never manages to live up to that ambition.

Britta and alterna-faux-lesbian-BrittaвЂ™s extremely awkward kiss is the clear highlight, though the introduction of the instant party that is Magnitude! definitely deserves a mention.Дў3. Everything works sporadically here, but doesnвЂ™t really come together in the end. Early 21st Century Romanticism: So how good was Community this season? So good that a perfectly harmless, generally entertaining, just slightly messy episode is the worst of the season. It should also have the added benefit of demonstrating just how good the second season of Community was.Дў4. So this list of all the second season episodes of Community ranked from 24 to 1 is sure to be a blast.
