if this episode doesn't win some kind of award, there's no point in having awards.

that episode must have been so fun to make

I can imagine it'd be stressful too, because they had to get the shots just right for the satire to work. And it's out of their element a little.
One thing I know is that it was sure as hell fun to watch.

yeah troy was a standout this whole episode, too bad he had to die first but the meta-joke was basically worth it

I think I missed the meta-joke?

its a black guy dies first thing, but its funny b/c it happens when troy is talking about how hes NOT just a black guy and obviously it sounds pretty dumb when i write it out like that

God, this one was so great. Was reading thru the comments on the AV Club and agreed with the sentiment that while the show uses a lot of pop-culture refs, it uses them to both augment and illustrate the character interactions.
Also, fat blubbery victim was great

it's totally found its metier with this and the goodfellas ep. completely inspired.

As I probably mentioned at some point too, this show is like the only instance where I find the blonde more attractive than the brunette

i think it varies from episode to episode, yet another testament to the greatness of this show

That was the guy the John Oliver character called out for looking like Mark David Chapman in the episode about the psychology experiment.

Been enjoying this show all season, but the last few episodes make me think it might steal the Best Comedy Emmy from 30 Rock this year.

speaking of John Oliver what exactly happened to his character?
― Sherman Helmsley Teabag (Cattle Grind), Wednesday, 12 May 2010 02:13 (thirteen years ago) link
He was only attached to the pilot.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 12 May 2010 02:46 (thirteen years ago) link
I think he showed up in one other cameo, though.
he was in that one episode where he was doing an experiment and Annie was the facilitator....
― Sherman Helmsley Teabag (Cattle Grind), Wednesday, 12 May 2010 02:47 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah there was that episode where at the end Britta was forced to see him for "counseling" every week, but then he never showed up again
― Nhex, Wednesday, 12 May 2010 03:20 (thirteen years ago) link
i read an interview that said they wanted him more, but his daily show schedule didn't permit it. he's going to be in the finale tho, along with the "seize the day" professor.

I loved him on the show and thought his and Jeff's banter was great. Wish he was on more often.

him=Oliver, though Higgins is always fun.

I've missed the last four or five eps, and you all have me convinced I need to catch up immediately.

Oh hell yes, the last several episodes (actually, everything going back to the xmas episode) are E-FUCKING-SSENTIAL.

Bit of a letdown after last week's episode, but pretty much anything would have been. Annie's Disney-face bit was great though.

it's funny to think that i was ever initially disappointed about John Oliver not being a full on cast member, would be fine with more appearances but the ensemble, even Senor Chang and the dean, feels so complete without him. really i'm more hoping for more Eric Christian Olsen guest spots.
― Jordan York (some dude), Friday, 14 May 2010 05:50 (thirteen years ago) link
Not quite to the heights of last week, but what could have been? I still enjoyed them moving the mechanics of the collected-group schooling along, giving Senor Chang a reason to stick around, and setting up for the next season. And they gave Star-burns a good joke. Disappointed they didn't do more with Jerry Minor, who I just found out is from my hometown.
Also, I enjoyed the stinger.
