Community: 10 Best Troy Barnes Moments

10. Talking About Fighting

While this is technically two Troy moments, both occur within the same episode and are both hilarious.

In the episode Comparative Religion, Jeff gets into a fight with a guy called Mike who harassed Abed. In this scene it is revealed that Jeff has never been in a fight.

This is where the first Troy moment comes in. While recounting his fighting experience Troy says:

"I remember the first time I ever got punched in the face. At first, I was like OH No, but then I was like, this is a story."

He says this with a knowing smile but never elaborates, leaving that experience as the entire story. It's a small moment but sums up some of the inherent lovable simplicity of Troy's character.

There is a similar simplicity to the second moment, which comes when they're training Jeff for the fight and Shirley walks in. Troy, trying to hide what they were doing says:

"We were trying to get Jeff ready for the fiiiiiiiiiight".

Troy draws out the last word as he can't think of anything else to say to hide it. Troy is a simple character, and a lot fo the moments of his humour come from this simplicity. Both of these moments show that well and inject good laughs into the episode.
