10 Worst Community Episodes Of All Time
4. Intro To Felt Surrogacy (Season 4 Episode 9)
After taking an impromptu trip in a hot air balloon, the gang land in the middle of a forest and are given berries by a mysterious man. The hallucinogenic nature of the berries causes the group to tell their darkest secrets. When they return to Greendale, the Dean encourages them to share their emotions with the use of puppets.
Why it sucks: I am a huge fan of the different ways that the Community writers try to find new ways of telling the story. Whether it be through the use of 8-bit animation, claymation or a homage to GI Joe, the bizarre nature of the show makes these theme changes not seem entirely out of place. However, as we learned from the GI Joe episode, these dramatic changes should be used sparingly as the novelty quickly wears off which sadly is the case for this episode.
What doesn't suck: The various secrets that are spilled are well written and coincide perfectly with the weaknesses of each member of the group. Also, at the end when the Dean sees Jeff's puppet doing bicep curls and starts to flirt with it.
