Wonder if that Brie story "inspired" Annie's loss of virginity tale from the episode about the safe sex fair.

Just saw that the same writer, Emily Cutler, is responsible for both Modern Warfare AND the chicken fingers episodes. Let's get this woman an Emmy at her earliest convenience, thanks.

Bet yall noticed it but funny which member of their group got shot first
― CaptainLorax, Friday, 7 May 2010 19:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Yes, I DID notice. No way that was just random.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 7 May 2010 19:29 (fourteen years ago) link
ha, never thought it through like that!

of all the references though...the degree by which they nailed the 28 Days Later atmosphere was pretty amazing.
― dan selzer, Friday, 7 May 2010 19:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I think the most amazing thing for me was how casually the paintball contest was mentioned (and disregarded) and then when it became a full blown thing.. from the first Abed appearance to the rendezvous point with Troy. Then I was continually amazed that the action film spiel was continually pulled off flawlessly - things like the scene where they are sitting around the fire in the cafeteria really got to me. I'm gonna stop praising this episode before I curse it :)

so is this show always delightful or only when there is cartoon violence?

Can I saw that Britta is one of the most attractive women on television right now?
― Sherman Helmsley Teabag (Cattle Grind), Friday, 7 May 2010 22:51 (fourteen years ago) link
I think Agent Olivia Dunham from 'Fringe' has her beat, but Britta's pretty awesome.
― VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 7 May 2010 23:41 (fourteen years ago) link
Annie > Britta, sorry dudes.

yep
amazing ep
― Greatest contributor: (history mayne), Friday, 7 May 2010 23:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Annie's right up there too. I could go either way with them on any day of the week, honestly.
― Sherman Helmsley Teabag (Cattle Grind), Friday, 7 May 2010 23:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Perhaps I could have phrased that better.
The spy-chick on Chuck is up there in the top 3 probably. I like the redhead on The Mentalist also. Olivia otm.

love that this is their second dig at Glee

Over Robin Tunney? No way.

other ref: battle royale!

what was the battle royale ref? i musta missed it. there was a bunch going on there.
― s.clover, Saturday, 8 May 2010 05:37 (fourteen years ago) link
The whole thing seemed kinda Battle Royale'ish. Esp the part where they send in the ringer to kill everyone.

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

― max, Saturday, 8 May 2010 12:30 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― Sherman Helmsley Teabag (Cattle Grind), Saturday, 8 May 2010 13:58 (fourteen years ago) link
Justin Lin directed it. Makes sense.

troy's "jeff winger... you son of of a bitch"

yeah troy was a standout this whole episode, too bad he had to die first but the meta-joke was basically worth it
― max, Saturday, 8 May 2010 14:37 (fourteen years ago) link
I think I missed the meta-joke?

black guy dies first cliche is all it is afaik
― some dude, Saturday, 8 May 2010 15:24 (fourteen years ago) link
which one?
― tart w/ a heart (a hoy hoy), Saturday, 8 May 2010 15:24 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― WTF cat with unfitting music (kingfish), Saturday, 8 May 2010 15:31 (fourteen years ago) link
it's totally found its metier with this and the goodfellas ep. completely inspired.
