At the conclusion of the season three Community episode, “Digital Estate Planning,” better known as that Awesome Episode Where Everyone Looked Like They Were from Super Mario Bros., Pierce and his brother, played by Giancarlo Esposito, make up after years of fighting, and then an explosive rigged to a wheelchair goes off and everyone loses their faces. I don’t know how the writers are going to top that, but…
Breaking Bad Emmy nominee Giancarlo Esposito is headed back to NBC’s Community, sources tell TVLine exclusively. Reprising his role as Pierce’s newly discovered baby bro Gilbert, the actor — who made his Community debut in one of Season 3′s three finales — is set to appear in an early Season 4 installment. Additional details surrounding the guest spot are being kept under wraps. (Via TVLine)
First off.
That’s jumping for joy, BTW. But more to the point: how does one top an 8-bit episode? A 16-BIT EPISODE, dummy. Hope you still have your copy of Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu for the TurboGrafx-16 at the ready.

Pierce’s brother invites the study group to stay at his hotel in Hawaii. Unfortunately someone is trying to buy his land and build a resort complex. Coincidentally the Dean is also there for the annual Dean convention…
Please, please, please tell me you’re a writer for Community. Because this needs to happen.
Hell, I want to film this myself using Community cast lookalikes.
My first thought when I saw Giancarlo Esposito was Hey! That’s the guy from School Daze!
First off, I want to say that some episodes are getting mixed up, but I remember an 8-Bit Gus Fring blowing up like Mega Man (a bunch of circles flying outwards), so maybe we are both mixing up episodes.
That being said, the next way to go is not 16-Bit, since that episode clearly was more early 16-Bit than 8-Bit given the scope of the world they were playing in. The next step is like Mario 64. Take everyone into 3D and hunting stars. Obviously.
How is there not a Breaking Bad game by the way? Shit, even if it was just cooking meth while Bryan Cranston’s voice yelled at you, I’d pay $69 for that shit.
