Line 12:
* Befriending a pregnant classmate, beating up her deadbeat boyfriend, and helping her give birth, all in a literal [[Out of Focus]] subplot.
* His [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in "Epidemiology," making possible Troy's badassery below.
* Thoroughly showing up his professor in a class on ''[[WhosWho's theThe Boss?]]''.
** Doubly awesome as he'd stated in the previous season that he'd NEVER MADE IT PAST THE SHOW'S OPENING CREDITS.
* {{spoiler|Being the only one in the group to pass a sanity test (though Jeff had admitted to filling his out randomly).}}
Line 27:
* After accidentally taking a male character for Dungeons & Dragons, seducing an elf maiden in nauseating detail to get the group a Pegasus.
** It's even more awesome if you read her lips.
{{quote| '''Annie''':{{spoiler|I take out my HUGE member!}}}}
* ALL of "A Fistful of Paintfuls".
** Even [[Lampshaded]] by Abed in-universe:
{{quote| '''Abed:''' She's pretty awesome today.}}
* Making a terrarium at the last moment in "Competitive Ecology"
{{quote| '''Jeff''': When did you have time to make that? You're pathological.<br />
'''Annie''': Too late for compliments. }}
* Pulling Abed out of a [[Heroic BSOD]] in "Virtual Systems Analysis."
Line 50:
* "Banged Mark's mom. Twice."
* His super-intimidating threat to beat up Pierce if the promise of his father's arrival is a lie in any way.
{{quote| ''...and there will be nothing madcap or wacky about it.''}}
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]] by proxy with Pierce's father, and actually giving him a fatal heart attack.
* Figuring out the whole yam sabotage plot, including refusing to let Todd take the fall despite everyone hating him.
Line 69:
* Cosplaying as [[Pulp Fiction|Jules Winfield]] for Abed's birthday.
* Showing a skeptical Jeff how great a foosball player she is.
** Pretty much anything foosball-related she does in [[Community (TV)/Recap/S3 /E09 Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism|that episode]] is awesome. "KILL OR BE KILLED!"
* While playing Cornelius' video game, Annie accidently kills a blacksmith. Upon being told that real world morality doesn't apply to video games, Shirley kills the witness to the murder, the blacksmith's wife, steals anything that isn't bolted down, and burns the hut down. In a game she had been playing an hour, two hours tops. [[Beware the Nice Ones]] ''indeed''.
 
Line 76:
* Troy deciding to man up, by stripping down to a leotard and helping Britta on stage.
* The entire last act of "Epidemiology," where he {{spoiler|escapes the library, but goes right back inside to save everyone from brain damage, even pushing through his own impending zombiehood after he's bitten, complete with a bunch of [[Bond One-Liner|Bond One Liners]].}} A very good showing considering his falling victim to [[Black Dude Dies First]] in "Modern Warfare."
{{quote| '''Abed:''' Make me proud, Troy. Be the first black man to make it to the end. }}
* "We're learning to teleport, and we're helping our friend find the meaning of Christmas!"
 
Line 82:
== Chang ==
* {{spoiler|The fakeout about his death}} when the gang started Spanish 102.
{{quote| {{spoiler|I am a man who can ''never die''.}}}}
* Salvaging Annie's anti-drugs show after Pierce gives it a pro-drugs message, turning his antics around to a genuinely effective way to get through to the kids.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbQKBt9aS18 Chang tazes Britta].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmNzsZhIpRY&feature=related I AM SENOR CHANG!]
* Nails Jeff across the room with a [[It Makes Sense in Context|tranquilizer gun after he flipped out at a bar mitzvah.]]
* His epic return to power. No really. Season 1: Insane Spanish Teacher who tormented the group. Season 2: [[Humiliation Conga]] turning Chang into a whimpering loser who couldn't even kill anyone in the paintball game. Season 3: {{spoiler|Becomes security guard for the school. Hires child soldiers as his personal weapons. [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Took over the entire school, replaced the dean, and expelling the study group]].}} He came back far higher than he ever had before.
 
 
Line 98:
* Winning the Model UN meeting by going for a good-looking yet meaningless grand gesture, just like the real UN.
* Sort of a sequel to their performance of "Somewhere Out There" from season one, the "Kiss From A Rose" scene in Studies In Modern Movement is all kinds of greatness.
* Jeff and Shirley get so angry during their foosball match in "Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism" that they manage to turn it into a ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]]'' style fight to the death through sheer force of anger.
** And then at the very end, having put their differences aside and working together, they completely demolish the Deutschebags at foosball... without needing to score a single goal.
** Even better? They briefly mention they trained for a while to defeat the Deutschbags in that specific way. Why is this important? Well, [[Fridge Brilliance|learning new moves to defeat your opponents sounds ''exactly'' like something that would happen in an episode of]] Dragonball.
Line 108:
* From the Season 2 Premiere Betty White's character June Bauer shooting Starburns with a blowdart and then later the weapon she chooses to attack Jeff with while he defends himself with respect.
** To clarify when Jeff picks respect instead of the 7 tools for the assignmet as what's most important in a group(and gives a heartwarming speech) she reveals they all combine to make an awesome weapon that she uses to choke him with:
{{quote| Jeff:"I Respect You."<br />
Professor Bauer:"And that is why you fail." }}
* Professor Duncan, upon realizing his restraining order against Chang serves as a kind of force-field, proceeds to make Chang's life hell.
Line 126:
* Abed's introduction, jumping over Jeff, running on the wall, and plugging Leonard, following it up with the appropriate ''[[Terminator]]'' reference.
* Annie ambushing the guys from a bathroom trash can.
*
{{quote| '''Shirley:''' ''[[As the Good Book Says...|The lord is my shepherd and I shall not want.]]''}}
* Britta sliding between Jeff's legs to save him from the guys about to shoot him
* Jeff gets multiple.
** "CHECKMATE, [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|BITCHES]]."
** [[Outrun the Fireball|Outrun The Paint Fireball]]
** Confronting {{spoiler|[[Final Boss]] Dean Pelton and, after painting up his office, shooting him in the head, [[Die Hard (Film)|Die Hard]] style}}.
** {{spoiler|Winning.}}
* Senor Chang's entire scene was pretty much the CMOA of the episode:
** Being hired as [[The Dragon]]
** His intro, complete with Chinese [[Cherubic Choir]] music, in an obvious shout-out to Chow Yun-Fat, before pulling out {{spoiler|his fully automatic paintball gun}}.
{{quote| '''Chang:''' ''Buenos dias'', children!}}
** His reveal of his [[Face Off|Face/Off]]-style dual gold handguns.
** His [[Predator]]-esque exit, complete with [[Evil Laugh]].
 
Line 145:
* The Black Rider's entrance, [[Dual-Wielding]] paintball ''shotguns''.
** Ducking under two paintballs before firing in a circle.
*
{{quote| '''Jeff''': Who are you?<br />
'''Black Rider''': The guy that's gonna win. }}
* Annie's entrance in the episode, using the following tropes: [[Badass Adorable]], [[Little Miss Badass]], [[Batman Cold Open]], [[Gun Slinger]], [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You]] and [[Guns Akimbo]].
Line 153:
** And then, in the finale {{spoiler|he pulls the same trick to beat the stormtroopers.}}
*** And then he gives the Best [[Bond One-Liner]] EVER!
{{quote| ''' {{spoiler|Stormtrooper:}}''' Who are you?<br />
'''Pierce''' Your mother's lover! *shoots the last two {{spoiler|stormtroopers}}* }}
* Shirley walking out of the library and shooting a stormtrooper almost nonchalantly.
** Driving the golf cart with Britta in tow.
{{quote| ''"How about we save this school's ass?"''}}
* Britta shooting the guy manning the gatling gun.
* Magnitude's [[Heroic Sacrifice]].
Line 176:
* The haunting Chinese song that plays when {{spoiler|Senor Chang}} makes his grand entrance in Modern Warfare. This troper is still trying to find a full version, or even the title, of that.
** It's called 'Episode 119 Medley,' and is included on the season one soundtrack.
* ''Gravity'' and its awesome tip of the hat to fanvids.
* The genius that is "Getting Ridda Britta" and "Pierce You're a B."
* [[ABBA]]'s greatest hits being the background music to a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] in Epidemiology.
** Best part is definitely the [[Mamma Mia!]] bit.
** Dan Harmon spent $30,000 of his own money to get the rights to ABBA since the Christmas episode was eating up a lot of the music budget.
* "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas." The whole damn thing.
Line 194:
 
== Crowning Moment of Snark ==
{{quote| '''Jeff:''' Shirley, don't sue a stripper.<br />
'''Shirley:''' Why not?<br />
'''Jeff:''' Because she's a ''stripper''. Life sued her and she lost. }}
