Troy Meets Levar Burton

[@marinarabandit]

His breakdown with the "I hate you Pierce" is probably one of my favorite moments in the series

[@max2161]

And the fact that his head shakes wen he screams

[@slidingrock]

I think his interview to be a fry-cook is the best lol.

Donald Glover is a comedy genius

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

Even just his performance as Troy proves this, but the fact he wrote for 30 Rock as a college student and wrote one of their greatest episodes "The Funcooker", cements him as a legit comedy genius.

[@samiai8905]

Troy's first mistake was trusting Pierce with any sort of personal information

[@Bachingchung]

Star Trek was actually real, they went past a cataclysmic storm during their space travels and they all stopped aging.

It was the morning and I picked up a lady from hartsfield(atl international airport) and drove her to a nice hotel in midtown atl. When I got out of my car to help her with her bag from my trunk at the entrance of the hotel I look at the entrance only and see Danny devito standing there. He was prob here just for the super bowl and was catching a flight. I’m a huge fan of him.I literally just started at him awkwardly cuz I’m in shock.
