What an ensemble cast that play off each other and all fire at the same time. It's impossible to see it all on one viewing.

Dtor said she "grows more beautiful-- and smart and funny and versatile"--all of these are things pertaining to the ACTRESS, ie, Alison Brie, NOT the character. The ACTRESS is the one who delivers her lines in a way that makes them funny, the ACTRESS is the one who is versatile, etc.<br /><br />Most of the fawning over Alison Brie on this blog is indeed over her chops as a comedienne and actress (and her looks, but they do belong to her after all).

I&#...this was a great episode from start to finish. I've been critical of the overuse of popculture references in the past but this episode was epic and the details were spectacular. Here' some of my favorite bits-<br /><br />Annie- my impending restraining order prevents me from going into too much detail, but needless to say she is awesome and hilarious.<br /><br />Troy- the monkey jokes, the pharoh's costume, T Bone never fails to bring the funny.<br /><br />Jeff/Britta- I'm so glad that they are not the Jim/Pam, Sam/Diane couple and are allowed to just be themselves. I couldn't stomach the buildup to the inevitable season 5 wedding cliche.<br /><br />Pierce- Chevy is one of my favorite comedians but Pierce is hit or miss for me. When he's cantankerous it reminds of the stories about Chevy being surly in real life, I guess I long for a retired Clark Griswold/Fletch vibe from him.<br /><br />Ahbed- Ahbed is our guide though this journey and is developing into a great character.<br /><br />Shirley- the weak link in my mind, the character just doesn't hit at the same level as the others for me yet.<br /><br />El Tigre Chino! and the Dean- Great characters who pack the biggest punch when used sparingly. They're funnier if they remain more 2 dimensional, i don't want to see them develop, just bring the funny.<br /><br />Can't wait for next week's episode.perimeterposthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16803761356048465807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-49707170906494898062010-04-23T17:55:23.152-04:002010-04-23T17:55:23.152-04:00yeah alison brie is that cool and adorable in real...yeah alison brie is that cool and adorable in real life too.

The episode felt felt epic and was absolutely hysterical throughout. I haven't laughed that hard at several of the jokes in a long time. Really really well done.<br /><br />I love what they've done with Britta's character. It seemed like they were trying to make her into an actual feminist and protester at the beginning, but now they've revealed that that's just how she's trying to portray herself, and the other characters' constant dismissal of her is a true highlight of the episode.<br /><br />I strongly recommend everyone pause the episode on the scene with Abed's big board where he lists all the characters' likes and needs. Some pretty funny stuff in there, such as one of Britta's likes being "thinking she's helping" and one of Troy's likes as "butt stuff."
