Community: 10 Best Troy Barnes Moments

8. The Cookie Wand

This is a moment that is not simply funny for what it is, but funny for Donald Glover's delivery.

The episode revolves around April Fools' Day and contains a plot in which Jeff and Troy mess with Pierce after he announces that he is going to reach the next level in his cult. This involves making him wear a wizard's hat and carry a wand with a cookie on it, telling him it's a meteor. This is to make him look like the cookie crisp wizard, a mascot from the late 1970s.

In a moment towards the end of the episode, Pierce talks about how he doesn't deserve the wand, as he got held back and isn't really level 6. Troy starts crying and says:

"It's not a meteor. It's a cookie wand."

Troy crying is always funny, and his admission is made all the funnier for it. The fact that it's a cookie wand is immaterial - it's Donald Glover's delivery that really brings in the laughter, alongside his admission that he doesn't even know who the cookie crisp wizard is because the mascot had changed to a burglar when he was a kid.
