We don’t like to discuss the gas leak year, and so a certain documentary will be missing from this list. But one of Ben Chang’s greatest and funniest impacts in the show comes in the second mockumentary episode, “Documentary Filmmaking: Redux”. Sometimes the most effective way to utilize a character like Chang is in moderation. His role in this episode is so small, but effortlessly hilarious.

Greendale are told to produce a modern commercial for the school and Dean Pelton devolves into insanity in producing it. Jeff Winger is cast as the Dean himself, but of course he requires an understudy. Ben Chang is that understudy and is forced to wear a Jeff Winger wig and a bald cap simultaneously.

In a season brimming with Chang’s villainous insanity, he decides to cool things off in this season and take his new acting role seriously.

But what’s so funny? “Understudy!" Jeong’s reading of this line is somehow spectacular.
