Community: Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas
Somehow, Abed's world changes into a stop-motion Christmas special. So, he goes on a “magical” journey to find the “true meaning of Christmas”.
This episode is brilliant and it makes fun of all those Christmas specials and even progresses the overall Community. The stop-motion FX brings back memories of those fun specials.
Abed goes completely crazy and turns the world around him into a twisted brain-fart. And, yet the episode is filled with some heart-warming moments as the characters look for the meaning of Christmas. And, at its core that's what the episode is about under its clever references. And, this is coming from an agnostic guy.
I really need to watch more of Community.
There are many great moments worth mentioning.
-A Christmas terradactyl: This was a great way to combine the coolness of dinosaurs and Christmas.
-Humbugs: So, these bugs eat people that are cynical. I guess I'd be the first one they'd eat.
-Lost gets a jab: Yep, the writers of the show throw in a bash of sorts to the makers of Lost for good measure. I loved it.
-Snowman Chang: Who thought Chang could be so much cooler as a freaking Snowman?
-I could have used just one reference to Davey and Goliath though.
Grade: A-
