Stop!
Hey there! Human Beings play sports too! Literally, the Greendale mascot is the Human Being. . Strap on your protective gear and dive in folks. Were playing football today.
Season 1, Episode 6
"Football, Feminism and You"
Dean Pelton blackmails Jeff with pictures of him on Greendale flyers, in exchange fo getting Troy to play football for the team. Annie tries to teach Troy astronomy. Britta struggles with being a good girlfriend to Shirley. Pierce and Dean Pelton create the Greendale mascot.
Best Lines
Pierce: As far as I'm concerned, there's only one black hole worth studying. (Camera pans to Shirley) It's called Sagittarius A. It's located in the center of our galaxy and it has the density of 40 suns. (wait for it) Just like my wiener.
On the Greendale flyer: I'm Jeff. I used to be a lawyer. Now I'm a student at Greendale Community College.
Dean Pelton: I'm starting to see why someone used to be a lawyer. Haha. Up top!
Jeff: I'm saying your a football player. It's in your blood.
Troy: That's racist.
Jeff: Your soul.
Troy: That's racist
Jeff: Your eyes?
Troy: That's gay.
Jeff: That's homophobic.
Troy: That's black.
Jeff: That's racist.
Troy: Is that linebacker a pregnant woman?
Troy: When you showed me that field, I saw there was nothing to worry about here. I could just play football for the fun of it. I mean have you seen these guys? There is nowhere to go but up.
Random Football player (let's call him Kevin): Dude, we have feelings.
Random Thingamajigs
This episode is most definitely out of order. Pierce met the dean the episode before, and now he doesn't know who he is?
The DVD extras shows this episode with a twist. Instead of Britta getting over her feminist problems, she finally learns to use the restroom. Lot of dubbed farts.
Abed lays low this episode. Bad idea.
Dean Pelton's character is way off in this episode. Hated it.
We never see Troy actually play football.
Troy's fight songs are hilarious. Making fun og John Kerry, Al Gore, and Nancy Pelosi.
Troy tells Jeff to take a pottery class to lighten up. He does in a later episode.
Also obvious that it's out of order whem you see Pierce's glasses are the same as in the pilot, but different from the episode before it.
I didn't particularly find the Troy and Abed ending all that funny. A little offensive actually. Also I hope that this is the last time Troy calls himself the disco spider.
Final Grade
66% Definitely an episode aired out of order. So many inconsistencies. Even if you take that away though, the story is not the great. There a few good lines, especially Pierce's first line, and the back and forth between Troy and Jeff on the football field. The whole Britta/Shirley story was lame. Troy stole the show except when he was an unlikable jerk in the cafeteria. This episode was barely saved at the end when Troy opens up and confesses to hurting himself on purpuse because he was scared. Despite that, this is the worst episode so far, and quite possibly my least favorite of all 71. I take comfort in that fact that it was still funny at points, and yet this is the worst one. Troy's right: We can only go up from here.
Ranking them 1-71
