So we're all agreea'buddies that the episode is much better upon rewatch?

Just sounds like one of the staff members volunteered for it. Either way, Dean sounds hilarious.

Nic Cage's birthday was January 7th

Sherlok Holmes, The Mentalist, Monk, Hannibal, there's probably more.

Someone at pajiba figured out why Duncan would actually need a roll of quarters lying around.

Apparently Community ticked up to a 1.4 in the demo for this episode. And it also anchored Parks & Rec for it to also tick a 1.4.

I like the fact that Community somehow anchored Parks & Rec pretty well.

"Imagine if when Shirley brought the news of Pierce's death, the entire genre shtick ground to a complete halt."

The fact that Dino is back and Dan spent a bit of time talking to Mitch Hurwitz during the break is making me giddy.

Okay now I'm getting excited because I'm thinking too much.

Well that's surprising to hear. Glad you liked it.

facebook movie used it in their trailer.

Not sure if I like the creepiness or not, but it's certainly funny to think about.

I did enjoy the line about the two newspapers splitting.

Now I'm picturing rehearsal takes with Ken trying to match the churro to the exact spot on the back of his head on the mouth of the Chang mask.

I was actually thinking this as well. They just got done explaining Nic Cage, so maybe they thought an episode like this would prepare us for that sort of odd frynotsure.jpg reaction.

No. I'm thinking about it more than any Community episode I've seen in a long time (which is good), but the general consensus is that I don't know what to think of it yet.

Me too

Hannibal parody most likely. And if so, they really did a nice job with it visually.

Episode is credited to a newcomer writer, Erik Sommers and is Production Code 505. Do we know if Harmon has said this season is in the correct order it airs?
