This episode aired exactly 9 months after the episode last season when Abed told everyone not to use the condoms over the intercom system. This show is that damn good.

[@jakerman416]

How did you comment one month ago?

[@billybobjoemartha4915]

What the....

[@DerpMuse]

unlisted link for early patreon access I'd assume.

[@trixiebell25]

Patreon users get early access to episode reactions. They are on episode 8 on Patreon.

[@bertimusprime7900]

Not exactly 9 months... Dec 3rd 2009 to Oct 7th 2010. Still damn close.

[@apewithheadphonesKK]

For anyone interested in the Abed Storyline, from the community-wiki: "Throughout the episode, Abed is involved in a side story visible in the background of several scenes. A pregnant female student named Christine approaches Abed and tells him she believes he is the father. Abed later has a confrontation with Christine and her boyfriend on the campus quad. The boyfriend tried to fight Abed who ran away. In Anthropology class, Abed was reading a pamphlet about expecting a baby. Later in the cafeteria, Abed, Christine, and her boyfriend are talking over the situation when Christine goes into labor. They escort her outside of the building and end up in the parking lot. Abed is forced to help deliver the baby in the back of a van. Afterwards, Abed joins Shirley as they look at the aftermath of Britta and Annie's oil fight."

[@andrewduong2740]

I love this show

[@aozf05]

I don't think they necessarily imply Abed might be the father. This episode takes place about 9 months after the STD fair when Abed told everyone not to use condoms, which is the more likely reason the dude wanted to fight him. They got pregnant because of him. Fans have pointed out that the same couple can be seen making out in that episode.

[@LadyVenomWay]

"You dont have to yell at us, no one is on the other side of this issue." LOL

[@canIhavethishandle]

LadyVenom Way can you explain? I dont get it

[@stgm]

No one at their college is "for" oil spills. Everyone is against them.

[@eolsunder]

thus, no reason to yell about it. Its like saying "we need to not drown cats in boiling water! that isn't good! don't drown cats!" There isn't anyone across from them saying "its good to drown cats in boiling water.". So really, no need to rant about it.

[@mamaslillele]

james friel also oil spills is a cause the your average citizen can’t do anything about so its pointless to raise awareness to that

[@andrewduong2740]

Wasn't the oil spill mentioned in the episode supposed to be the Deepwater Horizon explosion?

[@knavehart]

Season 3 has some great background moments.... including the longest gag set up in sitcom history

[@joevictor53]

David Vandervliet which one is that?

[@highvoltage7797]

Joe Victor They say Beetlejuice twice during the first two seasons then he appears in the background after they say Beetlejuice for the third time in season 3. A 3 year set up.

[@nangke]

It's so sweet that Troy had a good relationship with a nice grandmother when his own is kind of a nightmare

[@Karragh]

The Abed/Pregnant girl background gag goes deeper than you guys knew. The girl and her boyfriend both appear in the background of the Sex Ed Fair episode, from the previous season. The one where the condoms were all faulty due to printing "greendale" on them.

[@ThingsUWant]

In the many times i watched this episode, i never noticed the pregnancy, this fucking show is amazing.

[@ChevaliersEmeraude]

ThingsUWant What? They mention it in a future episode. Which I have to avoid talking about 'cause it's a massive spoiler... but, you know, that major thing that happens with Shirley?

[@W1ll88]

Same! I had no idea until they pointed it out and I've seen this episode at least 3 or 4 times lol

[@andrewitzla]

I learned about the whole pregnancy background subplot in this episode after I finished the show, but I can’t believe I didn’t see it the first time.

[@GoliathWarfare]

It's episodes like this that really highlight the evolution of Dan Harmon's artistic expression since being burned by NBC. This episode is nihlistic in a positive way while Rick and Morty is harsh and unapologetic in it's existential themes. Really shows how the industry can fuck with artists. You can see it in the evolution of Donald Glover's creative work as well

[@TheLastArkham]

"ill play myself out"

[@jacobbeckham6531]

Jeff is NOT the main character, Greendale is.

[@ivoemo7047]

Why go greendale

[@dustywisteria8641]

@@ivoemo7047Just because!

[@youdoitillwatch]

If you guys like the background gags in Community then you should look up their Beetlejuice gag. It won't spoil anything, instead it'll make you appreciate it when you see it.

[@americanninja1200]

youdoitillwatch I love that one

[@UnderTheBlue]

@ 13:49 the couple are holding the baby in the background

[@loganbigmo]

Nine months ago, Abed told them not to use condoms over the intercom. Now he's helping deliver their baby. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKO5lIeOjax_ntE)

[@NosajKnows]

‘Oh snap! Wait, what?’

[@KayelaProjects]

I can’t wait until you guys watch episode 19 of this season it’s a nice one

[@NoWuvDeep]

Kayla Projects I want them to see the conspiracy theory episode and D&D episode.

[@tylercotton5014]

Kayla Projects Yes, but to be fair just about every episode of this season is great.

[@KayelaProjects]

tyler cotton True it was a good season with good moments

[@KayelaProjects]

No Wuv Deep 80808 Those are good ones too I feel like they will have tons of fun with those. Also I wonder what their reaction will be to the Christmas one that’s going to be a good reaction as well

[@sammcelhannon2807]

I missed the part about Abed entirely, what was up with him this episode?

[@PapayaStyle]

he was having his own storyline in the background of scenes.

[@chrisdoe2659]

Abed meets and befriends a pregnant woman. She goes into labor and Abed delivers the child.

[@mondler107]

This didn't include "say bitter much much, MUCH!?" lmaooo

[@Kuya.AriesTV]

Do a Brooklyn Nine-Nine reaction :)

[@MrMuel1205]

Kudos to the Normies for noticing Abed's story.

[@Old.Codger]

One of my all time favorite Community episodes.

[@elbruces]

Heres an edited-together video of all of Abed's background scenes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWjNYaWHqthplck

[@gabrielesolletico6542]

This is a great episode... I think I'll rewatch this when... well...

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

Honestly I think about my afterdeath all the time. What my funeral should be like, what I want to happen to my body, whether my brain should be kept alive longer like that machine that made a pigs brain stay alive for almost 3 days. Honestly right now I want a tomb and I wanna be dressed in a costume, and a playlist of my own making is played at my funeral, and also they spill whiskey all over my body

[@brandonchandlerMGnO]

I don't know why you want them to spill whiskey over you, but I respect it.

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

@@brandonchandlerMGnO it's from a song, Finnegan's Wake, in the song somebody by the name of Finnegan hit his crown and was out and people thought he was dead until somebody spilled whiskey on his body and he springs up alive

[@Belowski69]

I really dont care about my funeral. I will never see it and I will never know how my friends and family react to it. I dont care. The only thing I care about is that my body gets used to save other human lifes. The parts of my body that cant be used, are irrelevant.

[@dy5534]

nice hair style marketa

[@dangshnizzle6929]

It's quite nice

[@kingofalldishwashers2929]

I love this show. Best show ever. The way you guys cover it is awesome. I watched the showed so many times I was looking for a new spin on it and this is it. I know I'm completely overstepping my bounds cuz I'm just some guy but what do you have to do to get to sit in on a taping? I would love to break down an episode.

[@loganbigmo]

They have a job. It's called being a KZbinr. In this day & age people make solid money from it. Why work 9-5 when you can do this, right?

[@hlumelomrali4081]

Its not a sock puppet...hehehehe

[@dangshnizzle6929]

Yes. That's the punchline

[@Realmfaker]

Not even in the background stuff, but you guys notice almost nothing of the intricasies of the characters. And NO, Pierce did really not believe his mother.

[@NosajKnows]

I don’t understand why you talk about the episode before you watch it. It’s so cringe and awkward and you’re always wrong, should definitely just get right into it and discuss afterwards!

[@loganbigmo]

It's called predictions....

[@julioagua]

It's called having some conversation with friends... you know, people.
