It wasn't just this episode that was light on Gene. This whole season has put Gene on cruise control. He still gets some good jokes, but I can't really think of a Gene-centric episode this season.

Well, that's how the cool kids in high school treated them. Now that they've found their internet clique, it's how they act.

That's because Parks and Rec was cancelled years ago, before Leslie could run for office and ruin the show.

Yeah, that's a good pairing. I'm glad we'll get even more Axl-Hutch shenanigans next season if they live together.

Hey, the daughter he admits to having sex with was over 18!

According to the Census Bureau, Egyptians (and all others of Middle Eastern descent) are white.

You forgot the kicker to the Brick line, when Mike said "We won't be alone, Brick will be here mixing up our meds."

I agree that it's not retaliation. Now Diaz's response definitely is retaliation, and the form she typically uses: physical and emotional assault. Maybe Genevieve should write an article about that trope.

It's literally what the entire article above is about.

A minor offense like that might not require bail; it could be a "released on her own recognizance" situation. And just to be clear, there is no actual rule about only one phone call; jails want you gone almost as much as you want to be out of jail, and however many calls that takes they allow.

I think that the bullying line was key, because I interpreted it as Abed essentially viewing anyone who imposes consequences on him as a bully. Duncan was a bully in Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas because he didn't indulge his fantasy; Annie was a bully in the dreamatorium because she didn't indulge his fantasies…

I think that was a pretty telling misstatement actually. While Gina has become somewhat less unnecessary, almost all of the love for her seems to be for Chelsea Peretti, not the character of Gina.

Not appearing: humor.

They don't have a choice but to show prelims for the first couple of days.

Will, I think the phrase "blows Reverend Hayver, out of the water" might have one too many punctuation marks in it.

Seth Meyers being watchable would be a surprise. That guy is brutally unfunny.

So AV Club deleted my comment wherein I mocked John for reading oppression of women and gay panic into a yogurt commercial. I didn't mock the concept of rape culture or insult anyone (except maybe John), I just laughed at the fact that AV Club represents such a narrow subset of the cultural left that someone…
