Community: 15 Insane Details You Definitely Missed

5. Abed's Cougar Town Cameo

In the unforgettable season two episode "Critical Film Studies," Abed sets up an hilariously elaborate dinner with Jeff themed on the classic movie My Dinner with Andre, where he reveals that his fandom for the show Cougar Town led to him being invited to appear as an extra.

However, when it came time to film his small role, he froze up and ended up pooping his pants, a story which most fans likely assumed was nothing more than a joke per Abed's entire My Dinner with Andre ruse.

But this was ultimately part of a huge in-joke between Dan Harmon and his pal Bill Lawrence, who was the showrunner of Cougar Town.

Things intensified in Community's season two finale, "For a Few Paintballs More," where Cougar Town stars Busy Phillips and Dan Byrd could be seen momentarily in the crowd.

A mere two weeks later, the big payoff arrived, with Cougar Town's season two finale "Something Good Coming" featuring a totally ridiculous cameo from Abed where he sits behind Busy Phillips and draws an absurd amount of attention to himself before running away (presumably having pooped his pants).

Needless to say, it led to a ton of incredibly confused Cougar Town fans.
