Community: 15 Insane Details You Definitely Missed

8. Abed's RoboCop Readout

Season two's "Aerodynamics of Gender" sees Abed unleashing his inner bitchiness much to the delight of Britta, Annie, and Shirley, dispassionately detailing the imperfections of anyone around him, as visualised through a RoboCop-style cybernetic display.

If you pause the episode during these moments, however, there are a ton of choice gags worth checking out.

For starters, the menstrual cycles of Britta, Annie, and Shirley are noted on the left-hand side of the screen, foreshadowing the revelation in the next episode, "Cooperative Calligraphy," that Abed keeps track of the ladies' menstrual cycles.

On the right-hand side, the synopsis of the episode itself is displayed, and in the bottom-right corner, Abed leaves various "memos" for himself.

These include reminding himself to record Cougar Town, remembering the date of Troy's birthday, and confirming his mother for Christmas.

The latter note also pays off a few episodes later when Abed's mother bails on him and he ends up having his claymation-infused breakdown ("Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas").
