5. Modern Warfare (S1, E23)
Perhaps Community's most famous episode from season 1, Modern Warfare was a gem. A paintball shootout done so over-the-top that the end product became brilliant. A random plot that takes a campus-wide paintball game and blows it up by the addition of a huge prize: priority registration (granting the winner first choice when scheduling classes). The end result sees the whole campus going on a killing spree as everyone vies to be the last man/woman standing. The main gang end up working a lot together, and the episode delves a little more deeper into Britta and Jeff's relationship. This episode is full of great comedic and action moments. In season 2, a sequel of sorts to this episode was done too. It had a lot to live up too, and by all accounts was still good, but it couldn't top the first paintball brawl.
Highlight: Jeff and Britta vs Chang
