2. Geography Of Global Conflict
CRISIS ALERT! Fans do not give this hilarious Season 3 episode enough props.
The episode features a showdown for the ages: Annie Edison vs. Annie Kim. The Annies face off for the prize of founding the Greendale Model UN. Two United Nations (one from Earth-2) compete in a head-to-head UN-off, which Annie E. takes way too seriously. Eventually, Annie E's UN wins, by forcing Annie K's UN to turn down the opportunity to merge with their alternate universe United Nations.
As hilarious as this plotline is, this episode's real strength lies within its subplot. After learning one of her old activist friends is being held captive, Britta starts feeling useless, so she stands up to the only "authority" figure Greendale has: New security guard Ben Chang, who himself feels useless as a guard. Their rivalry culminates in Chang tasing Britta during her demonstration at the Model UN meeting, resulting in one of the funniest scenes in the whole series.
Few TV episodes juggle two great plotlines as flawlessly as Geography of Global Conflict. Plus, it features an engaging guest appearance by Martin Starr as Professor Cligoris. It most likely got buried by Remedial Chaos Theory, which was supposed to come one episode later, but deserves just as much love as it's dice-tossing successor.
