10 Worst Community Episodes Of All Time
6. Basic RV Repair And Palmistry (Season 6 Episode 10)
The gang travel in Elroy's (Keith David) RV to return a gigantic hand purchased by the Dean to its new owners in a bid to save money. Along the way, they break down when both batteries are worn out. In a bid to make sense of it, Abed retells the story with a series of flashbacks leading up to the event.
Why it sucks: The problem with this episode is that there is very little plot to go on and it relies heavily on Abed's flashbacks to salvage any sort of story out of it. Although the flashbacks themselves are funny and joyously meta, the episode is disappointingly average considering it is near the end of season 6. I understand not all episodes can be slam dunks but it would have been a fitting send off to the show had this been better than average considering how close it is to the finale.
What doesn't suck: Elroy is a revelation. It's a shame he wasn't introduced earlier in the show. Also, the couple at the end arguing about the husband's obsession with large items being the reason their son disappeared was a surprising sprinkle of dark humour.
