10 Worst Community Episodes Of All Time
8. Alternative History Of The German Invasion (Season 4 Episode 4)
The Germans are back (minus Nick Kroll) but this time they seize control over the group's beloved study room. In an attempt to lure them away from the room, the gang plans an elaborate scheme in the shape of an Oktoberfest celebration. Meanwhile Chang is back but claims to have lost all memory with his case of Chang-nesia.
Why it sucks: Welcome to the gas leak year, ladies and gentlemen. For those that don't know, season 4 was referred to as the gas leak year when creator and writer Dan Harmon was fired from the show by NBC taking the majority of his writing staff with him. The series suffered as a result of this shift and, as a result, they decided to bring him back for season 5 and beyond.
The episode itself shot itself in the foot by reintroducing the Germans but with a weaker story but the biggest crime is bringing in the acting royalty of Malcolm McDowell as the history teacher and giving him a handful of lines. Shameful.
What doesn't suck: The twist at the end that shows the study group being the true bad guys. Also any scene with Chang and the Dean together is gold.
