This is actually a real legal strategy taught in law schools. Its worthwhile posing an objection, even if its overruled, to disrupt the logical progression of your opponents argument.
That quiveering look while Annie is celebrating is damn good acting. Remember this is supposed to be a sitcom that focuses on 7 main characters, yet the secondary ones were what really elevated this show.
Ken Jeong said in the podcast that he committed to doing that for 30 minutes without breaking during the filming, just to make Alison laugh. He said that when she finished her rant and looked over to him she burst out laughing.
I think Annie's cross examination here is one of her best scenes. I love how she can't resist rubbing it in with the "BOOYAH!" and Jeff sits there thinking "...I may have done some damage here"
Nah, she's gonna have a hella lot of great scenes. Annie was the character who progressed the most through the seasons and didn't get boring like for example Jeff or Britta.
I just noticed Chang in the background! He looks like he's narrating the whole thing in his mind and you don't know how much money I would pay to hear those thoughts
I had seen this scene a dozen times but this was the first time I caught Annie's "always have an exit strategy" line delivered toward the officer who served in the Iraq war. Sharp.
"You may proceed Miss Eddison but do so with caution. Need I remind you this is NOT a courtroom" Favorite line of the episode. Professor Kane was brilliant.
Me too. He seemed like a sweet guy, just trying to live a decent life. I know this is a comedy, but I don't get why they are constantly bullying him, like in other episodes they were so mean to him
@@Voronoff That's basically it. It's like the cast of seinfield when we find out how everyone else feels about the starring cast members to find out that people hate them. More than once, we've seen how much people in Greendale can't stand 'The Greendale 7' like when students commented how they actually felt like they were learning more when the group wasn't there because they had a tendency to make everything about them.
@@demoblaster Don't forget that the group nearly pushed Neil to the edge of suicide, Jeff by giving him the name Fat Neil and then Pierce by using that name. They took control of the entire school's chicken fingers supply, Jeff and Annie made the Student President debate about the two of them, Annie leaked to everyone that Chang wasn't a qualified Spanish teacher and wasted everyone's semester, Troy and Abed started the blanket fort vs pillow fort war which Jeff escalated because he hated homework. Everyone in the group ruined things all the time but Jeff is especially unbearable and selfish. And I'm also guessing that the Dean's obsession with this group simply because it is diverse didn't sit too well with the other students either. The guy literally warned them first personally when a fire broke out because he wanted them to escape first.
He is just thinking about what message he send to her. As he was a lawyer his intention was always to win & Annie is someone who always search for truth. Instead of truth she wanted to win. I think that is the reason why he was surprised
This episode truly showed the insanity of the study group, I kinda feel bad for Todd because they were so mean to him, however, I still love this episode thanks for uploading.
For years I always thought the Law & Order bit of saying something cutting and defamatory only to quickly yell “Withdrawn!” was always a little much. The fact this episode plays that up makes me laugh every time.
Honestly, this episode is a fantastic showcase of writing and acting from everyone involved, but the 'I'm not fighting your wars anymore' line just busts Todd's character wife open, it gives you so much insight into his life before the show and at home, jusg makes you wonder how many other people have felt pressured into going to war juat to appease family tradition and became scarred as a result of it
Der Typ everybody on the internet should be banned from using that word [‘underrated’]. It’s not enough for some people to just like what they like, it has to be unpopular as well, as if that somehow ultra-validates their opinions above most else’s because they appreciated something that few else did.
@@neontime8507 don't think it's inaccurate, I mean it got last seasons picked up by Yahoo and have never heard of it except from TH-cam or looking up "who created Rick and morty" It's not enough because some exec decides its not worth making more based on numbers alone, so yes that happened many times with it. There are other series that got totally cancelled, so the reason 'underrated' because they get stopped before the plot even gets tied up. Ratings are not necessary indicative of the show, often publicity, network, time aired.
"Objection, she's clearly wrapping up to something" "Objection, that's not a real objection" "Objection, i hate the both you" love how the real use of the objection is thrown out the window
I love so many of Annie's facial expressions throughout this whole series. But this face right here 2:51 for some reason just gets me. It's my favorite one. She's so alive! She's such a magnetic and versatile character.
1:40 Annies starts talking about herself instead of Todd: 1. One orange splash in otherwise perfect record. 2. Is that why you start to pop pills and drink? 3. Are you a virgin?
Not really. The popping pills and perfect record comment fits, but she doesn't drink and she states early in the first season that she lost her virginity due to her addiction prior to the show.
Everybody commenting about Todd. His lawyer was Michael Ironside, who voiced Darkseid in the Superman and Justice League cartoons as well as playing the General in Starship Troopers. Come on you apes! You want to live forever!
Anyone else notice the subtle shout out to the wire and Omar little when Jeff says "mans gotta have a code" and professor Kane (Omar) looks up at him ?
I love how this episode's moral is about having a code, while the actor who played Omar on the Wire makes a guest appearance, these writers are fantastic
3:45 I like how Michael K. Williams looks at Winger when he said "A man must have a code", because it was a famous quote from Omar Little (Michael K. Williams character on the show "The Wire").
"A man doesn't admit to half a crime" Clearly they've never met me. If you admit to something but not all of it, most people will accept the lies 100% truth because you have admitted something bad that you have done, which most people in such a situation would not be willing to admit as it may increase suspicion, when counterintuitively it decreases it
This has to be one of the best Annie scenes in the entire show. It's right up there with "Annie's got a gun" and the entire ACB episode. I hope Alison is damn proud.
I swear this entire episode is just Todd slowly losing his grip on reality
Isn't that the entire show for him? I mean, with the turtle and all...
He also believes himself to be god. Essentially. Everyone can be god. His word
He _does_ act loopier in future episodes...
Season 6 he’s full on mentally unstable
he had a grip on it at some point? 🤔
"Objection: She's clearly ramping up to something" is one of the best lines in all of community
Objection thats not a real objection
Objection I hate the both of you
you may proceed ms edison but do so with caution
Need I remind you this is NOT a court room
This is actually a real legal strategy taught in law schools. Its worthwhile posing an objection, even if its overruled, to disrupt the logical progression of your opponents argument.
Todd: Is clearly suffering from PTSD from the war and feeling the stress of living up to his uncle's standards.
Annie: BOO YAH
“I’m not fighting your wars anymore” deep.
All Todd's timelines are the darkest ones.
"no offense Todd"
Wait... How is he EOD with an Infantry Roundel? Was he directly attached to Infantry? Did he change MOS's?
She really is a sociopath.
todd definitely made the most of his screentime.. This and the terrarium episode are so good
"lots of things can be forced. Like a human head through a 6 inch drain pipe."
None taken...
He and magnitude have definitively proven that there are no small parts, only small actors
That quiveering look while Annie is celebrating is damn good acting. Remember this is supposed to be a sitcom that focuses on 7 main characters, yet the secondary ones were what really elevated this show.
@@apapods I wish there was an episode that only focused on the secondary characters.
1:22 Chang just dazedly standing there with his mouth open is priceless.
I know, lol, they captured Law and Order exactly
LOLOLOLOL
Ken Jeong said in the podcast that he committed to doing that for 30 minutes without breaking during the filming, just to make Alison laugh. He said that when she finished her rant and looked over to him she burst out laughing.
That's the face of chang
Better gig than guarding a trash can.
I think Annie's cross examination here is one of her best scenes. I love how she can't resist rubbing it in with the "BOOYAH!" and Jeff sits there thinking "...I may have done some damage here"
No he's sitting there like "something doesn't add up. Why would it be hot?"
She was so sweet and innocent in the first episode of Season 1. Hanging out with Jeff have changed her bit lol
Nah, she's gonna have a hella lot of great scenes. Annie was the character who progressed the most through the seasons and didn't get boring like for example Jeff or Britta.
“Is that why you hit your wife?”
“WITHDRAWN”
Gets me every time 😂
"Are you a virgin???"
*"Withdrawn!"*
@@satyre_1 just the way he opens his mouth gets me everytime
They did Todd dirty lmaoo
Those are references to the argentinian movie "el secreto de tus ojos"
I just love that last one, it's not really defamatory and doesn't even make any sense given that Todd has a family lmao
“Objection I hate the both of you” 😂
😂😂😂
need I remind you that this is NOT a court
That might be the best line in Community
I just noticed Chang in the background! He looks like he's narrating the whole thing in his mind and you don't know how much money I would pay to hear those thoughts
Where is he
Maanit Mehta he is in his officer uniform and you only see him some times.
he is the best part about this xD
He's the bailiff.
Whats the time stamp?
Todd felt for the Annie's Disney Face
Classic
I would have defused all the IEDs of dishonesty too
Her doe eyes. She became a monster.
Disappointing her is like choking the little mermaid with a bike chain...
She really is the ark of the covenant
I do not get why that works it would not work on me
But just a reminder, this isn't a court room.
Bu... but the *dun* *dun*
@@PanConQueso001 and that was paid
I like that little bit of side-eye Professor Kane gives Jeff when he talks about having "a code".
I loved that.
Great reference to "The Wire"
OMAR COMING
I came here to see this. "A man's got to have a code."
Omar looks up "No doubt."
No doubt
RIP
“Todd. I’m telling your mother.”
I had seen this scene a dozen times but this was the first time I caught Annie's "always have an exit strategy" line delivered toward the officer who served in the Iraq war. Sharp.
As she hits him with an arms out shimmy lol
"A man's gotta have a code"
*The professors inner Omar activates*
No doubt
All in the game shawty.
Yo Omars comin!
"You may proceed Miss Eddison but do so with caution. Need I remind you this is NOT a courtroom"
Favorite line of the episode. Professor Kane was brilliant.
The delivery is absolutely flawless
I feel so bad for Todd, i damn near tear up whenever they bully up
Me too. He seemed like a sweet guy, just trying to live a decent life. I know this is a comedy, but I don't get why they are constantly bullying him, like in other episodes they were so mean to him
Because group are priks, thats why.

I never noticed Chang in the back 1:22 standing with his mouth open 🤣
He's the bailiff of the non-court
This is the scene Allison and Joel mentioned about the what they call "Chang tongue". Allison broke because of Ken hahaha
He seems like he's narrating the whole thing in his head
One of the best underrated Community eps.
This whole show is underrated

It's literally one of the best rated episodes on IMDB, you moron
so dramatic for a freaking yam 😂
"Objection, she's clearly wrapping up to something"
"Objection, that's not a real objection"
"Objection, i hate the both you"
love how the real use of the objection is thrown out the window
Ramping up*
I love so many of Annie's facial expressions throughout this whole series. But this face right here 2:51 for some reason just gets me. It's my favorite one. She's so alive! She's such a magnetic and versatile character.
Her voice when she's says "Booyah" is also great.
"A man´s got to have a code". So good
That he do.
"I can only assume there's a female equivalent to that. A 'codette', or something..."
I wonder if had Honey Nut for breakfast?
The cheese stands alone.
It took me so long to realize it’s a “The wire” reference
"Need I remind you that this is *not* a court room?" - such a great line.
2:43 the look of absolute satisfaction, such a subtle switch, an amazing actor
Troy's lil nod and smile to Annie's victory dance @ 2:56
"You may proceed Ms. Edison, but do so with caution. Need I remind you, this is NOT a court of law."
Brilliant.

BOOYAH! cracks me up every time..Community is the best but Alison is defenetely streets ahead.
Stop saying streets ahead

Pick Britta.
@@jafarm4443 You're streets behind.
“A mans got to have a code” what a fucking reference. One of the greatest cameos ever ngl
"That's right. Always have an exit strategy"
Political Commentary: 100
This and "I'm not fighting your war anymore!" are some of the best
The look that creeps across Troy's face as Annie starts to celebrate is priceless.
3:05 shirley's thumbs up
You can almosty hear the high pitche noise she makes
"I'm not fighting your wars anymore" this shit is too accurate to law n order
“a codette or something”
Toadette approves this message
I swear I keep bursting in laughter at the very memory of the word “codette”.
I just noticed that todds uncle asks him is he intended to break the yam. He doesn't ask him if he broke it because he knew he was guilty
I love how Chang is just sleeping while standing in the background
This episode is honestly my most favorite.
I always come back to this scene for the “withdrawn!” moments but holy hell “defuse the IED of dishonesty” is incredible 😭😭😭
Chang as bailiff in the corner just kills me 😂
Todd's face when Annie starts celebrating his admittance of guilt really put into perspective how crazy Annie is.
A real sociopath.
Annie is a monster, and I love her.
Annie is so funny. The second she realized she won she dropped the act and showed no humility. In yo face!
"Wow, Annie. You're a real sociopath"
2:33 Good Lord, I'd confess anything to that face
0:02 The guy was doodling the courtroom scene. 🤣
I never noticed this lmfao
Everybody commenting about Todd. His lawyer was Michael Ironside, who voiced Darkseid in the Superman and Justice League cartoons as well as playing the General in Starship Troopers. Come on you apes! You want to live forever!
1:19 Ken Jeong lifeless look is pure gold.
"A codette or something"
Very underrated line.
“Need I remind you, this is NOT a courtroom!”
I fell in love with Annie in this exact scene
Chang at 1:20 kills me every time.
i love that todd is the same character in A.P Bio
One of the best episodes!!
"We had plenty of chairs at the base" and "I'm telling your mother" are so underrated.

Not to be that guy but he looks at him cuz earlier in the episode winger heard him say the same thing and basically just copied him
Annie should’ve been a lawyer and started a practice with jeff
"A codette" is an underrated line
2:09 I always laugh at the Uncle Knobby part. It's such a tense moment but the way he says the name gets me every time
Took me ages to realize that Basic Lupine Urology is a reference to Dick Wolf
the way chang stand like a statue in the background.. that a lot of commitment
I love Todd so much😂😂the delivery the acting everything!,, but they were so mean to him haha

R.I.P Michael K. Williams.
Seeing Annie dancing in that suit awakens something in me
Love that 'a man's got to have a code' reference to the wire with MKW looking up. Rest in peace Omar
the drawing killed me
Jeff is like Jesus what have I done
Y'know, if they'd hired Wheels and the Legman, they would have wrapped this case up in a heartbeat
Easily one of my favourite episodes
I love that chang is just asleep in the corner
I always suspected in him in everything happens.
2:36 Disney Face
Annie is so beautiful 😍😍
This has to be one of the best Annie scenes in the entire show. It's right up there with "Annie's got a gun" and the entire ACB episode. I hope Alison is damn proud.
Biology professor was the best at Greendale, wish he was in more seasons
Lol the courtroom drawing in the beginning
Rest in peace Michael Williams :
God I love this show so much 1:21 you just barely see chang in the background looking out into space 😂 dude is absolutely gone
brilliant episode
Rip ,one of my fav teachers on the show
“Need I remind you that this is not courtroom?”
2:34 Disney face. Always works.
I love that little Annie's dance
I love how Chang is just standing there, as usual.
Chang as the bailiff is the best part of this scene. He just kinda sits there in a chang.
Chang's posture in the background really adds to his character. The show was a gem.
1:22 there it is!!! Ken trying to break Alison!!
