Hello, friends. Big week for some beloved network shows! Let’s get into it.

Last night’s episode was about filming a new TV commercial for Greendale Community College. (The old ad, filmed in the early 90s, was a great, shitty mash-up of the Blossom and Clarissa Explains it All intros. I liked them.) Dean gets way into filming the new spot, and casts the study group because of their diversity, “Hispanics notwithstanding.”
The commercial shoot evolves into an over-budget production that looks more and more like a Gwar video. The dean hilariously melts down over and over again, and gets in the best line of the night when Troy and Britta keep fucking up their hug: “If you get this wrong one more time, I’m segregating the school!” I lol’ed. Then Luis Guzman shows up—because why not.
Meanwhile, Abed captures the maniacal process in his own documentary, and Hearts of Darkness is mentioned like five times.
