She asks Abed, master documentary maker, to make a viral video with a Christain message. Shirley, a devout Christain, asks him what comes up when you type in “God.” The class ends up watching stupid YouTube videos, with Duncan taking suggestions from the class. He’s a substitute for the class and knows about zero history, which makes sense since he’s at the school to teach psychology. It starts with Professor Ian Duncan (John Oliver, if this gives you an image of the kind of man I’m talking about) teaching a history class. The webs that Abed weaved are too complex for me to capture with words, so just go watch this one. They all independently saw the flyer, enrolled, and the rest was history. He was passing out flyers for Greendale Community College at the frozen yogurt place the year before everyone enrolled. They all feel awkward after revealing how their lives have affected each others’, and all independently go for frozen yogurt, only to ban together again (out of the love of frozen yogurt, obviously.)Ībed then tells them that it was Chang who really got them all together. Then Jeff considers himself the villain, as he’s the one who pushed the woman who had an affair with Andre to go for him. He also poses the theory that he is “the villain of the group,” as he was the one who inadvertently exposed Shirley’s husband’s (Andre’s) affair and outed Annie to her doctor, which was how she got carted off to rehab.

He makes the two “double bounce him,” only for him to propel through the air, over the garden gate, and into the parking lot.Ībed’s sick burns, plus the surreal atmosphere of this random trampoline in a secret garden in the parking lot, are what place this episode on the pedestal it belongs on.Īs the group is preparing to take a history final, Abed reveals that he has been studying the history of the group, and presents “The Crazy Quilt of Destiny” to prove that the study group was an act of fate.Ībed details how they all met. It’s calming, bouncy, essentially perfect.īut it’s ruined when Pierce, who really just wants to hang out with the boys, finds them. The other, equally worthy plot of the episode is about Troy and Jeff finding a magical trampoline in the college garden after they accidentally lose a basketball in it. Then, he starts ripping on them.Įventually, Abed realizes he has to “restore the balance,” so he instructs those first “mean girls” to burn him so that everything can go back to the way it was. He continues dissing everyone the trio tells him to, until eventually, Abed realizes that the “bitches” are now Annie, Britta, and Shirley. The girls explain to him that those girls were mean and deserved it. The mean girls end up crying and abandoning their seats.Īgain, Abed’s not great at social situations, so he’s a little confused.

The show presents this ability as a Terminator-like process where he pinpoints a person’s flaws and uses them to insult them. Annie, Britta, and Shirley use him as ammo, taking him up to the women and telling him to “get those bitches.”

They are complaining to him about the “mean girls,” and Abed starts seriously ripping on them. They reluctantly sit with Abed in the back of the room. The three women try to sit in the front, only to be confronted by three “mean girl”-esque students who make them sit in the back of the room. The three decide to enroll in a women’s studies class, only to find Abed is also taking it. This observant and objective commentary turns out to be useful in this episode for Annie, Britta, and Shirley. He is awkward in social settings, especially as he blatantly points out what many wish he wouldn’t. Abed, arguably the main point of view from which the story is built out of, is sharp, observant, strange, and (at several times during the series) appears to be slightly delusional.
