COMMUNITY: Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism

By  | 

This week on Community, an unlikely friendship emerges and The Dark Knight seeks revenge.

Pierce should not be doing anyone this weekend. Britta is working at the Vet to help pay off her one-eyed cat’s Lasik.

Abed is now Batman, from the fingers of Senor Bale. Oh man.

Europeans who love Foosball. I’m scared by the prospect of Nick Kroll being a crazy German Foosball player.

While cleaning the house, Annie cracked Abed’s ultra-super-duper-extra edition of The Dark Knight. Oh, this is not going to be good at all. When Troy starts thinking about TV tropes, I can tell that this is going to end poorly for either Annie or Troy. Maybe both.

Jeff loves Foosball just like he loves pool. I hope that there is some triumphant victory at the end of the episode. Did I just watch Shirley pwn Jeff with foosball?

A fake robbery, Annie, really?

Evil people who are good at foosball–that’s your idea of those Germans, Shirley?

If Shirley is only likable to Jeff when she’s evil, I want to see more of her being a bitch and taking names. Why am I getting the sense that Shirley is like an African-American version of some evil genius like The Joker?

What is with all of these people who’ve been on “Thrilling Adventure Hour” being on here? First Nick Kroll, now Craig Cackowski.

Abed has figured out a ruse for the robbery, and it doesn’t point to Annie. I don’t know how long this is going to last.

Hearing “It’s on like Donkey Kong” in a German accent is hilarious. Thanks Nick Kroll.

Abed’s Batman is still as hilarious as it was two years ago, and I hope that Abed’s lesson is going to be a good one.

I’ve missed Jeff and Shirley moments. It’s been too long. Shirley made a kid wet himself when she was young. Oh, to make it worse, that was Jeff. Now I’m just going to sit here and cry for poor little Jeff. Big Cheddar vs Tinkletown. I might keep laughing for days now.

Batman is off to scare the landlord. I can’t imagine that this will end well for Abed. Eww, the landlord has a women’s shoe fetish. GROSS!

Jeff changed schools and personality because of what Shirley did to him years ago? Cue epic foosball feud montage. (Ooh, I didn’t know we had animation in this episode too. That’s amazing, show!) Of course this ends with a stalemate. Is this moment going to end with the two of them making out after addressing their feelings?

Non-perfect people can say that they’re sorry. Troy pretends that Batman!Abed was never there. Oh those two.

With a very nice pwned move in the foosball match, Jeff and Shirley walk off to a movie together. I guess twenty or so years of pain can be erased with one night of shared pain.

Leonard reviews pizzas on YouTube? Okay. Is that the first time we’ve ended on someone not in the study group for a tag?
