10 Most Underrated Community Episodes

Next is another great episode focusing on Shirley's pregnancy. When Shirley asks Jeff to get Chang to sign a document which would forfeit any parental rights to her baby, Chang refuses. Jeff capitalizes on this, and convinces Chang that Shirley will allow him a role in this baby's life if he shapes up, starting by moving out of Jeff's apartment. This leads to a hilarious scene in which Chang tries to look and act "professional," and culminates with Chang accidentally kidnapping a stranger's children.

Though the subplot involving Britta's romance with Troy and Abed's new war criminal friend is also funny, the episode belongs to Ken Jeong. His performance as a wannabe grown-up Chang is hilarious, since, in trying to act like he has his life together, he proves that he doesn't.

Unfortunately, the episode sits at an IMDb rating of 7.4/10, which is fairly low (by Community standards). It deserves a much higher rating, and more conversation in the Community fan community (no pun intended).
