Community: 10 Worst Things Abed Has Ever Done

Troy and Abed have always had a close friendship, but in Digital Exploration of Interior Design that was put to the ultimate test, and almost entirely due to Abed’s stubbornness. The two had in a previous season built a blanket fort; now, they were making plans to build a pillow fort. However, when the Dean brought up the possibility of a world record for largest pillow/blanket fort, the allure of meeting other Guinness record holders led to Troy wanting to switch to a blanket fort or hybrid model.

Abed however was dead set on his vision of the purity of a pillow fort. He at first dismissed Troy’s idea quickly. When that didn’t work, and Troy brought it up again, Abed accepted it, but only if it was not part of his pure and complete pillow fort. Abed was willing to shun his best friend for the sanctity of his pillow fort. Not only that, when Troy accepted these terms, we can almost see Abed’s disappointment that Troy would follow through on these mad terms.

But it gets worse; when the two come to a clash, the great pillow and blanket war of Greendale begins, and Abed and Troy fight for territory. Abed is not only willing to sacrifice his friendship with Troy for the purity of his pillow fort, but the safety and integrity of the very school. We even see during the war that Abed is willing to engage in psychological warfare by spreading notes about Troy’s known weaknesses, facts he learned about him by being a close friend.

There is of course some stubbornness on Troy’s part at play here too. Not to mention an Air Conditioning Repair School Principal with ulterior motives pulling their strings like Baron Zemo in Captain America: Civil War. But the point remains: if Abed had been willing to compromise, none of this would have happened
