Community: 10 Most Cringeworthy Moments
9. "Those Guys Are Ballers Yo" - For A Few Paintballs More
This is such a fine detail to single out, especially because it's no more than one line of script in an ultimately more grandiose storyline - one that takes up two episodes of screen time - but it's just so painfully, abhorrently cringe-inducing that it can't be ignored.
In the latter of the two parts of this, well, two-parter, the opening scene of For A Few Paintballs More contains an exchange between Dean Spreck - the Dean of Greendale's much begrudged rivals, City College - and the infamous Dean Pelton, as the aforementioned Spreck has essentially condemned Pelton to be his prisoner. While on the radio, Spreck receives some mixed signals, mostly in the form of a certain Jeff Winger interrupting the conversation to inform him that it's not over quite yet.
This, of course - based on the Dean's unhealthy infatuation with Senor Winger - elicits a major response Winger's biggest admirer.
It begins with the Dean's paraphrasing of "you're in trouble" before subsequently being followed by one of the most horrendous lines to come from a character that has no business speaking it; "Those Guys Are Ballers Yo", and the hair-raising, skin-tightening cringe inevitably ensues.
