Community: Comparative Religion Review

This week's episode of Community was a Christmas episode featuring the Spanish 1 final!  Something every college student can relate to this time of year.


The episode starts with an announcement by the Dean about Christmas, except of course he doesn't want to offend anyone so he comes to the lounge as Father Winter.  In the lounge abed gets into a conflict with a Mustache guy after he takes the remainder of the cookies and Jeff steps into protect him


Was it me or did anyone else notice that the Mustached Man was Anthony Michael Hall from such movies as The Breakfast Club and The Dead Zone?  As soon as I figured that out every scene with him became so much funnier.  On another note, I've never had a Winterdoodle, but I would love to try them if Michael Anthony Hall is willing to fight for them.


In the library Abed tells everyone about Jeff protecting him and Shirley invites everyone to her Christmas party after the final but finds out everyone in the group is a different religion.  During the final Jeff is again harassed by gay mustache dude and challenges him to a fight later on in the day.  I have to agree with Senor Chang, this is the best exam ever.  I wish my finals were that cool!


I enjoyed finding out everyone's different religions here.  I really enjoyed Pierce's religion though.  I think I could get into a religion where people owe other people Energon cubes (obvious Transformers reference anyone?) and you get titles like "lvl 5 Laser Mantis".


Jeff talks to the guys about keeping the fight away from Shirley and he reveals he has never actually been in a fight.  After once again running into Mustache fag they all agree to teach Jeff about fighting.  While Annie and Shirley are decorating, Annie reveals that Jeff is going to get in a fight with the Mustache guy.  Shirley interrupts the boy's training and says she doesn't want anything to ruin this special day (December 10?)  And gives him an ultimatum, the fight or her party.


I feel like Pierce was teaching the right lessons about fighting to Jeff.  You gotta play dirty to win!


At the party, everyone is there except Jeff and they all go out to find Jeff at the fight.  At the fight Jeff meets the Mustache fag but tells him he is not fighting because of Shirley.  So he gets kneed and Shirley sees this and tells him to fight.  The entire group then joins in on the fight with mustache fag's shirtless friends.  Everyone recuperates at the party and Senor Chang comes in and tells everyone they passed. Spanish 102 next semester!


That was such a great fight scene for the show.  I do wonder why the A-team had to get shirtless just take on our main cast, but I guess that adds to the homo-erotic undertones that come with fighting.  Also, we get to see Jeff finally become a man after Pierce "accidentally" punches him in the face.


This was a good holiday themed episode with everyone arguing about their different religions, or in Pierce's case a cult.  But in any case I want to wish everyone HAPPY MERRY!!! 


See Ya & Till Next Time,
Mike & Razz
