Here's something you've probably never heard anyone say while watching NBC's Community: Yeah, that could happen.
And so it is this week, with an episode (8/7c) by Oscar-winning screenwriter/goofball extraordinaire Jim Rash (Dean Pelton), in which Troy and Abed go too far — what else is new — in their obsession with cheesy body-switching movies. Before you can say Freaky Friday, Troy is adopting Abed's dislocated mannerisms while Abed channels Troy's giddy swagger. Donald Glover and Danny Pudi are, as usual, a joy to watch, even if the message behind their madness is delivered with a heavy hand reflective of this uneven transitional season.

It illustrates Abed's theory that the students are all interconnected through past encounters. "Given Abed's fascination with origin stories, it's only fitting that he would at some point try to connect the dots," Pudi says. "It's fun to see Abed research the study group's history to see how we've affected each other in the past without ever even knowing it."
