Its really funny that Shirley is played so nice but in this episode she is almost as intolerant as Pierce actually here she might be worse.

"The Lord is testing me" and "I'll allow it" are among some the legendary GIFs this show has gifted us. Also, Shirley is... challenging to like on this episode, but I recommend everyone go follow Yvette Nicole Brown on Threads, because she is a fierce warrior out there!

You expect the prejudice from Pierce, but not usually from Shirley. I'm only half-Jewish on my dad's side but I still cringe at Shirley or Pierce calling Annie "A Jew".

Oof. Shirley is a rough watch this episode. She was really testing me with her guilt trips and judgemental attitude throughout.

Hunter Kragh

I think most people feel the same cringe.

Yes, around 2009, the rhetoric that you weren't allowed to say Merry Christmas anymore was a (fake) galvanizing issue for American Evangelicals. Around that time I remember my mom telling me that their pastor gave a whole sermon about how important it was for Christians to "bring back Merry Christmas," and my mom proudly told me that she stared down several service workers who dared to say "Happy Holidays" to her until they said Merry Christmas. I was infuriated!

Vader did not blow up a planet, Tarkin did. Vader was dismissive of the Death Star, and was not part of the military chain of command in the first movie, he's an independent contractor.

Me, too. She is generally a sweet and likable character, but in the real world, I would have skipped the party.

Maybe this is just a personal idiosyncrasy, but Shirley actually bothered me more. Pierce's boorishness is blunt and in-your-face (thus easy to dismiss), while Shirley's passive-aggression and condescending tone are nails on a chalkboard to me.

I think AMH got buff for Edward Scissorhands, but I could be wrong

"Special drink" was Abed putting cocoa meant for hot cocoa into cold milk and making "cold hot chocolate," if I remember correctly.

Along with Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown can really sing, we hear this ep, even though everything she sings is ridiculous.

Carl Wilson

I feel like even by this point we've been reminded multiple times that Shirley's ability to flip from passive-aggressive to aggressive-aggressive is not to be underestimated.

Carl Wilson

"Jew" is not actually a slur, it's worth remembering. But it really depends how it's said and by whom.

Carl Wilson

I think AMH got buff mostly to stop being the person he was in the teen movies.

rojowo

Oh, that would make sense. I guess Scissorhands is just the earliest movie of his where I can remember him being buff

Of course it isn’t, there’s just a specific way of saying “A Jew” that Shirley and Pierce both do in this episode that even when this episode came out was gross, the writers intended it to be gross and AFAIK most of the audience understood that at the time.

Benjamin Finkel

It doesn't get nearly as much attention as other quotes and moments from this show's run but "Say the whole word!" is among the best jokes of it's entire run.
