Yeah but the immediate "got it" after hearing"that's guerilla with a -u-" is 100% Abed. Like his brain is a computer that just got fed the correct information so the processing completes instantly and it's time to move on.
Yeah I think this is more an Autism joke... I have autism and this kind of thing happens to me all the time - not processing homophones properly... e.g. Someone might say "Have you read that book?" but I hear it as "red" and get extremely confused to the point of having to ask them to clarify before I realise... There is a specific term for it that my speech therapist uses (I can't remember what it is) but it's pretty common for people with autism to get homophones confused even when they're familiar with both words... I think it's something to do with processing each word separately and then making sense of it as a sentence, whereas people without autism often process the whole sentence at a time...?
Chang: Do you guys ever wonder how the gorilla gets his market research information? Does he hire a firm to outsource it, or do you think he just climbs a tree and watches us through our windows at night?
*Frankie gives Chang a concerned side glance before looking up to notice that the rest of the Study Group has intentionally chosen to entirely ignore Chang*
*Wanting to fit in, Frankie also chooses to give up on helping this borderline non-functional human, letting her grand purpose in life die a little bit more in the process*
Jeff: Hey! Guys! What's the deal with Garrett wearing sandals in March!?
*Study Group begins making loud bawking Garrett impression noises*
*Frankie now realizes the only path to salvation is to kill them all and cleanse this school of the rot by directly stabbing it in its very heart*
Indeed. I've not played Elden Ring (I do feel shame, but as a parent I have not the time I need to dedicate to it) but the Google synopsis tells me that Frenzied Flame exists to stop the Greater Will and its Golden Order..
Greater Will and Golden Order sound like they'd be Frankie's favorite flavor of sugar-free plain yogurt, with no sprinkles, but maybe a few pieces of fruit added for the nutritional advantage.
Oh frankie for sure would like the Golden Order, but if i had to guess she likes some granola and a smidge of honey on her yogurt.
btw when you get some time off play elden ring, it’s amazing.
i feel like that’s part of abed coping with troy leaving there were a couple other instances of this and i think it’s just him filling in the gap that troy left
I’m not sure- Abed misinterprets things more than once in the show. Like when Jeff says something is “funny” and then has to explain to Abed that he didn’t mean “ha-ha funny”.
Yea but no.
Abed has poor social skills, like interpreting tone of voice or facial expressions. But he excels in logical context to a debilitating fault. I'm shocked he wouldn't be familiar with the phrase "guerilla marketing" or at the very least the term guerilla itself given how into pop culture and documentaries he is.
Contrary, Troy was known for misunderstanding the context of words and phrases (animal hospital, bubbie, mourning, ATV). This is very much a Troy gag.
Maybe it was a coping joke for Abed being without his buddy for the past year.
E: A word.
Yeah but no.
Abed misinterprets tone but he also takes things too literally tons of times. Not only that, but there’s a chance that Abed doesn’t even know what “guerrilla marketing” is.
Ye but no.
Abed was a latchkey kid who became an amateur filmmaker. By this point he’d been allowed to actually major in film. Presumably he would have some working knowledge of advertising techniques, regardless of his ability to sense sarcasm
It’s so funny that none of you will even consider that Abed didn’t know that term. Especially because that’s exactly what happens 😂 it is *really* not outside the realm of possibility for him. Amateur filmmaker or not, he never implies that he’s been studying the advertising aspects. Even when he gets his LA job, it’s not like it’s in the advertising side of things.
but abed immediately understood it after they said guerilla with a u. If he didn't know the term he's be asking follow up questions at the least. He said he got it right away. gorilla vs guerilla isn't any more literal.. theyre both words and known (to abed as well) terms.
Why did the lighting change for the Yahoo show? Sure the budget might’ve been smaller, but it’s not terribly expensive to light your set the same way that you did one season prior.
Why, though? Not challenging the DP, and not even saying it’s bad, but TV shows kind of establish a visual language and stick with it. It makes the universe feel fully formed.
I think it still works, Abed is being meta as usual and providing that guerrilla marketing for the colleges. It definitely would have worked as a Troy line though and I never thought of it like that until you pointed it out!
You were singing guerilla with a U? Oh no...
I spell querilla with a Q-U!
Well don't.
Well don't
Well don't.
Well don't

“Troy lives inside Abed now,” he said in the creepiest way possible.
Having Jeffrey inside of me
No one was inside of anyone!
No...
What is happening to me?😱
I think you're right. Britta should have said it instead of Abed.
Or Chang

Frankie chooses frenzied flame ending
feels like the Dung-Eater ending to me

Excellent writing. I could picture Chang saying that. Made me laugh.
i feel like that’s part of abed coping with troy leaving there were a couple other instances of this and i think it’s just him filling in the gap that troy left
I disagree but I was only commenting to say, Happy Cake Day🎉🥳
Troy's the one obsessed with Annie's Boobs.
Another line that would've gone to Troy: "Thats crazy!.... People still used LinkedIn?"
like Annie wouldn't have a full LI profile since high school😅
That and its 100% a double-take Troy realises something totally different joke.
[удалено]
Britta's jibjabing was a little sloppy.
I absolutely heard that in Frankie's voice. Lol
I think it’s a Troy line and Abed is still adapting to losing him.
I’m not sure- Abed misinterprets things more than once in the show. Like when Jeff says something is “funny” and then has to explain to Abed that he didn’t mean “ha-ha funny”.

Maybe it was a coping joke for Abed being without his buddy for the past year. E: A word.
The best explanation to me is it being a coping joke. Like he also knew Troy would have said that, so he did it in his stead.
Yeah but no. Abed misinterprets tone but he also takes things too literally tons of times. Not only that, but there’s a chance that Abed doesn’t even know what “guerrilla marketing” is.

I'm not in marketing, but I understand guerilla marketing. Abed is a lot smarter than I am
but abed immediately understood it after they said guerilla with a u. If he didn't know the term he's be asking follow up questions at the least. He said he got it right away. gorilla vs guerilla isn't any more literal.. theyre both words and known (to abed as well) terms.
Abed is also often the person who explains the miscommunication to Troy. Animal Hospital is the best example.
Careful boss theres *gurillas* in the woods. GUerrilla. GOrilla. HUUUUGE DIFFERENCE!
Maybe he was joking/trying to fill the void from Troy leaving and his delivery makes that unclear.
He's referring to Gorillaz right?
🎶 I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad. I got sunshine, in a bag. I'm useless, but not for long... 🎶 Damn it's time to find that old CD in my stash lol!
Yep. The “Susan” bit about naming the group was obv a Troy joke too
Yes, totally, but uh, it’s an example of Abed’s growth sans-Troy? I am soooo excited to see them reunite in the movie… omfg
I hate the lighting and production on this season. It’s so dark and drab. It doesn’t fit the tone of the show at all. It constantly take me out of it.
Why did the lighting change for the Yahoo show? Sure the budget might’ve been smaller, but it’s not terribly expensive to light your set the same way that you did one season prior.
Yes it did they got a new DP who went in a different direction
Why, though? Not challenging the DP, and not even saying it’s bad, but TV shows kind of establish a visual language and stick with it. It makes the universe feel fully formed.
Harmon said he liked it in the dvd commentary and that it made the actors look better
I think it still works, Abed is being meta as usual and providing that guerrilla marketing for the colleges. It definitely would have worked as a Troy line though and I never thought of it like that until you pointed it out!
