COMMUNITY + MAD MEN = AWESOME
03.05.10
TV worlds collided last night, as “Community” slyly paid homage to Alison Brie’s other gig — dutiful wife Trudy Campbell on “Mad Men” — by making prissy Annie the target for pop culture sponge Abed (Danny Pudi) to practice approaching women. Abed proceeds to woo Annie with a suave Don Draper impression (video below).
Of course, I’d be remiss in my duties if I mentioned this episode and didn’t address the hilarious naked game of pool that Joel McHale won in the final scene. And so, to the ladies I say: “You’re welcome.” Enjoy the gallery below the video, which features the chiseled features of everyone’s favorite backup tight end on the 1991 national champion Washington Huskies. Don’t act like you’re not impressed.

Somebody has to say it: Wow, Joel McHale’s been working out this year. I remember he’d often lose his shirt on The Soup for one reason or another and he did not look that good. It’s funny when comedians are in good shape, like Steve Carell or Jerry Seinfeld.
By far, the best episode yet. I laughed almost, the entire time. This show gets better every week. Suprisingly Archer was way off this week.
The reaction that Alison Brie gives when Jeff takes off his underwear, which you have in the lower left still shot, is classic.
I choose SHORTS!
I would be surprised if Community – or Parks and Recreation, my personal favourite Thursday night sitcom – lasts 3 more seasons. The rating for both shows are eerily similar to what Leno was getting in his 10pm time slot. (Although, they might be doing better than what Jays did vs. the all-important Adult 18-49 demo)
LLJMcH.
But I also find myself strangely attracted to Abed’s character, so maybe my judgment is off.
My only fear is that this show only has about 3 seasons in it.
Which sucks, because it has become my favorite show on TV. I will cry when they all go in different directions in life.
Joel McHale’s nipples are oddly wide apart.
When McHale plays pool nude everyone laughs, but when I do it, a shitload of bikers take turns shoving cues up my ass.
the ladies say thank you for the pics. but i hope he makes fun of himself this week on the soup for shamelessly promoting himself as a sex object.
Forgot she was in Mad Men. That was one of the best episodes yet.
apparently he was 250 at the time (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A22047-2005Feb13.html?sub%3Dnew?=AR)

How did someone so slender play TE in college football?
BALLS LIKE A MAN!!!
I am totally impressed. So, thank you.

Also, in France she’d be called “la renarde” and she’d be hunted with only her cunning to protect her.
In France, her last name is pronounced “Bri-eh”. Out here, it’s bling blang.
As someone who spends a lot of time shooting pool and watching movies, I dug the homage to The Color of Money as well.
Abed was on fire last night- and to be fair the pool scene also features a version of werewolves of london that does not feature kid rock so really everyone wins.
For me, any story involving Alison Bree ends in an explosion.
