10 Greatest Unspoken TV Plot Points
3. Abed And The Pregnant Woman - Community
Even though the Beetlejuice references are the most famous background joke in Community, there's another hidden gag with a better pay-off that most viewers missed.
In S2E22, Applied Anthropology and Culinary Arts, Abed Nadir casually mentions how he once delivered a baby in the back of a car. Upon hearing this, the majority of fans were worried they may have missed an episode. But if you were paying attention, you would've seen this moment had already played out.
In S1E11, The Politics of Human Sexuality, there is a scene where a young couple discards a condom. In S2E3, The Psychology of Letting Go, Abed constantly appears in the background helping out this same couple, with the woman now heavily pregnant. Throughout the episode, you can see Abed speaking to the pregnant woman, checking her belly, arguing with her partner, helping her out of a restaurant after her water breaks, and delivering the baby in the back of a car.
When Shirley sees Abed at the end of the episode and asks what he's been up to, he modestly responds with, "Not much".
