Also worth mentioning here, Annie's claim that she had been trying to address the problem of the Ass Crack Bandit two years earlier was a reference to the second season episode "Intro to Political Science". The entire concept of the Ass Crack Bandit actually originated as a throwaway joke during Annie's election speech, while she was running for class president against Jeff.

[@kait7168]

The constant rain was from se7en but the abrupt ending and the multitude of suspects at the end with no one properly convicted is from Zodiac

[@thegroove14]

So it’s an homage to David Fincher movies.

[@excellentcarrotcake]

Everyone had incentives to be the bandit ie. Shirley was making money from her sandwich shop, Duncan was gone for three seasons and the bandit mysteriously comes back upon his return, Annie and Jeff to look non-suspicious while being together; that’s the true genius of this episode

[@HectorTWE]

Top 10 episode material. That Dean snapping scene one of the outright funniest scenes of the show

[@arwyss]

Div P It’s almost as good as his scene on the phone with Luis Guzman. “I loved you in......................... IMDB.”

[@MichaelHattem]

Top 5.

[@Reminji]

Followed by "We have stables??", amazing

[@JamieHollowayXVII]

This is my favourite episode, and the Ass Crack bandit song is so good.

[@JamieHollowayXVII]

@@11BscoutNG Just Annie's speech. I think the name comes from a joke amongst the cast for Joel though because his ass crack is always out.

[@siddhantgupta9138]

Bro please tell me who was ass cracker if you know

[@timbir]

Oh bloody Hell, my shoe is untied by British standards... This episode is so great and ambitious. It holds a special place in my heart because it was the first episode I saw before I watched the series through. This is why I love Community. It is just so hilariously different.

[@KJ-je9pm]

Timbir Season 5 is so good. I just wish Donald was in it for the whole season. Lots of potential that Dan Harmon was back.

[@kurutukatagi230]

This is my first episode too!

[@snerdterguson]

The fact season five had episodes as great as this one, the meow meow beanz episode, basic story and basic sandwich, AFTER losing Glover from the cast shows how extraordinary the cast and writing was.

[@tukoman78]

The concept of the episode was to leave the identity of the perpetrators ambiguous, similar to Jack the Ripper murders or the zodiac killer. No one knows til this day

nu·mis·mat·ics /ˌn(y)o͞oməzˈmadiks/ noun the study or collection of coins, paper currency, and medals.

[@alondob]

I was literally shouting this at the screen. 🤣

[@starman1144]

it's a Greek word. Nomisma means coin

[@ThommyUnderhill]

The intro with the kids singing creep was a nod to children singing creep in the trailer for David Finchers The Social Network

[@F0CKSTR0T]

The intro specifically was a Red Dragon parody. While Se7en has a similar intro, this parody clearly references the Red Dragon's murder book and even the titles are half red as well. And while overall it's an amalgamation of mostly Zodiac, the scene with Annie and Jeff looking up Dave fans to the music is a reference to the scene in Se7en where the detectives are in the library researching while the classical music is playing.

[@criticalfallacy]

This episode is such a perfect parody of "Zodiac".

[@charger23us]

Exactly

[@ctcentralinfo]

No it's a parody of "Seven"

[@help4343]

@@ctcentralinfo How is it a parady of Seven when in Seven he finds out who the killer is, but in Zodiac we don't, like in the episode?

[@WouldYouKindlyNot]

They missed the joke of the ACB talking about Jeff and Annie's weird relationship "Like get a room already" 🤣🤣

[@chromatos7428]

I like that Chris "knows Latin", thus numismatics is clearly related to pneumatics. Despite the fact that both words are from Greek.

[@jonathanpatch5281]

Well, that was the problem right there. I'm sure if the words had actually derived from Latin he would have been all over that shit.

[@proctologistbarbie]

I can't tell you how long I've waited for you guys to react to this ep, the dean snapping his fingers at Rhonda is one of my fav scenes and your reaction made it worth the wait.

[@jeffborowiak8992]

Not catching the ACB is why this episode is briliant.

[@Syndor12]

I forgot how great season 5 was. This episode and the meow meow beenz were some of the best this show had.

[@SuperRainbowpoop]

troy standing up is the funniest thing

[@snerdterguson]

My favorite gag in the episode is after Troy gets cracked, and Hickey is holding a bag with a quarter in it. Behind him is a security guard who looks at the baggie, then fetches and hurries away before he throws up. Dan Harmon was so into the background details.

[@CharlieBrown20XD6]

Yaaay the silliest episode! Next batch are fantastic, you're in for a treat!

[@havingaparty21]

1. What happened to Tormund? 2. I'm a lil sad that no one recognized Ben Folds as the weed-growing Professor. He is a musician who also wrote the ass-crack bandit song.

[@MrUndersolo]

1. No idea. 2. I noticed! 👓

[@xavvi]

A few things. The opening credits are directly lifted from Red Dragon, and the scene pulling the note from the bear is also from there. The scene with Annie and Duncan is straight from Zodiac. The night vision scene is from Silence of the Lambs. The first time you see Starburns, and also when Annie is researching the Dave Matthews fans, are straight from Se7en. Also, the teacher with the weed plants was Ben Folds (of Ben Folds Five) who also sang the song at the end (the Ass Crack Bandit song, which is hilarious if you listen). There are multiple clues towards several people and while the writers claim to have had an idea of who it was to begin with I feel like once they started to put it together they decided to not have a clear culprit so that the ending is much more in line with Zodiac (including that end text).

[@jeffborowiak8992]

Star Burns actor was not happy when Dan Harmon was let go.

[@tempsitch5632]

Jeff Borowiak wrong

[@RocketToTheMoose]

Troy slapping Starburns seemed like a reference to the grieving mom slapping Chief Brody in Jaws.

[@091696g]

next episode is MY favorite episode. one of the funniest end scene hahaha

[@got2bjosh]

This was one of the best episodes from the season. Numismatics is the study and collection of currency, coins, etc.

I'm pretty sure there were multiple ACB. Britta was the one who cracked Troy and Duncan. Duncan initially cracked Garrett. Abed cracked the people at the bleachers (he disappears after a few moments during that time and was gone during the cracking)

[@KJ-je9pm]

The Ass Crack Bandit, first mentioned in Season 2 Episode 17 (Intro to Political Science) during Annie's election speech. What a pay off. This monster has been loose for years.

such a great episode and song. go listen to the song in its entirety, its worth it ^^

[@jbasti227]

One of the best episodes lmfao

[@Br0nto5aurus]

I interpreted the ending montage to be that trope in detective shows like Criminal Minds or Bones, on one of the few episodes where they don't find the killer by the end. The montage usually consists of brief shots of each team member, alone in an office or at home, holding something of the killer's or the victim's, obviously deep in thought trying to solve the case. For example: if an episode of Bones was part of a serial killer arc, so they didn't find the killer in the first episode of the arc. Suppose the first victim in the arc was a man who was very nerdy, he collected action figures, and was stabbed to death while clutching a homemade comic book. At the end of the first episode in the arc, there would be a montage: Dr. Brennan would be in the lab, looking at the bones as if there's something she hasn't throughly examined, Angela would be in her computer room trying to restore the bloodstained comic book the victim died with, Booth would be in his office at the FBI holding one of the victim's action figures, messing with it and thinking, and Cam would be in her office holding the killer's knife (thoroughly checked for finger prints, swabbed for DNA, and cleaned) with pictures spread out on her desk of surveillance footage showing the victim's last recorded moments alive, getting into the killer's car for an unknown reason. But in this case, the only evidence was the coins, so they were all holding coins and thinking about the case.

[@Filodude]

I can't wait untill next week when we find out how Pierce died

[@BeinIan]

Ik this video is old, but "numismatics" is the study or collection of coins. It stems from the Latin "numisma," meaning "coin," and it IS related to "numeral, as I think someone mentioned. Thanks for making me curious enough to finally look it up. Also, while the announcement of Pierce's death seems to come out of nowhere, it's kinda realistic in that way. Death doesn't always come when it's expected, sometimes it just blindsides you and shatters whatever you're doing in life at the time. It this case, that happened to be chasing the Ass Crack Bandit.

If you have a very old gold coin, say an actual Spanish doubloon, its commodity value would just be whatever the value of the actual gold content in the coin. It's face value would be the value printed on the coin (to the extent whoever the issuer of the coin is both a monetary authority in this field). It's *numismatic* value is the portion of its value above and beyond that face value, contributing to its final value as a collector's item.

[@Shoofyou10]

Dan Harmon has said that the whole point is that it could have been anyone and probably was at different points. he didnt want a definitive answer. Fans who think annie only do so because at fan events Annie likes to make it all about her.
