Community Season 2 - Appiled Anthropology and Culinary Arts
Also known as "remember the Seinfeld episode, Chinese Restaurant?" because it's happens to be based on that, in a sense that the whole entire episode is only based in the Anthropology class.
In the Anthropology class, drunken Ian is giving away free As to everybody though Annie wants him to give out marks to people who deserves it but is booed off back to her chair. Pierce wants rights to Troy and Abed's "hand-shake", Jeff spots that Britta has a "thing under her nose" and Chang still thinks that Shirley has his baby. AndDean invited a VIP and is going to show him to the World Food Festival and Ian bails at the class to find "the exam papers". But suddenly Shirley goes into labour as she is getting birth to a baby and Chang annoys her still thinking that it's his. Usual hilarious banter with the group and Pierce owns Troy and Abed's handshake rights for one thousand bucks. Fat Neil tells the truth that they always happen to be the center of attention. And that happens...with Shirley giving birth and I don't think babies have hair when they give birth and this surely (hah!) has hair.
The previous episodes of this season are great with movie references and other geekiness of Abed (especially Advanced Dungeons and Dragons) and even more especially that there's more animation to the show like the previous episode with Dean making an animation of killing the entire study group (Jeff, Britta, Abed, Troy, Annie, Pierce and Shirley) for making fun of his "fabulous" outfits that he often show. But this episode is somewhat decent, it really only centers around Shirley going into labour with the practical jokes of the study group. I'm pretty much disappointed with this episode and hopefully the next episode which probably is "another Modern Warfare" episode since it's called "A Fist Full of Paintballs" with maybe less movie references this time.
30 Rock - 100th episode of TGS (Tokyo Game Show?) with Tracy Jordan
Or what I called it, a clip show of non-sequitur(ing) previous episodes and flashbacks though the funny part is that they also gaged about that concept that often appears in the show. It's the 100th episode of TGS with Tracy Jordan and Tracy is having problems of wanting to be back the way he is but with the attention of the media and public, he's not getting out of it.
Kenneth tells Jenna that recalled that if TGS gets the 100th episode that he will impregnate Jenna and having said that, Jenna is committed to having a baby with Kenneth. Michael Keaton as the janitor's last day is getting too old for the sudden leakage of air that makes everyone in the building, high and hallucinating things like that blue/purple blob when Tracy first saw it when he went on Conan to having Jack seeing the past, future and other future selves and hilarity ensues.
This show is brimed with guest stars from Michael Keaton, news/media guys from NBC to a short cameo of Tom Hanks. I don't really get the whole hallucination fetish that Tina Fey constantly writes having a character in this show especially with Tracy taking strange pills and acting all crazy but Tina delivers her script with hilarity especially when Jack meets his other "selves" who is either want to advise him to fire Liz Lemon or keep her. The show overall still gets it being funny but having said that it's a clip show and it felt like a show about nothing, it's just bat-shit insane!
