I was going to hold off on dedicating this segment to Community until next week, but with the news of animated webisodes hitting Hulu a week before the show's full on return I just couldn't help myself. Who knows? Maybe we'll even go back to back weeks if you guys play your cards right.
In the short history of Best of # we've already covered Troy & Abed, and we've covered just Troy Barnes, but we've yet to tackle Abed Nadir, who is not only the most important character on the show but arguably the most important television character of the 21st century. Dan Harmon uses Abed's mind as a virtual springboard for all the pop culture obsession we love most about the show. Whether it be Goodfellas homages, Dungeons and Dragons, Cougartown inception, or alternate timelines, none of it is possible without Abed running point.
He's not the hero NBC deserves, but the one Greendale needs right now. Or something like that.

Abed is the best Character on Television… Next to Dr. Krieger
Oh wow that is like choosing parents.
Abed is the bees knees.
Slide 14 – How the hell did I miss a “Kicksplasher” poster? And is that another sequel to or a spinoff of”Kickpuncher”?
Good catch. I’m thinking spin off.
This needs to be a two-parter. Where’s Abed going to talk to a girl as a vampire?
Where, where is Abed as a vampire? That was the scene that made me love the show. And Abed. And Pudi. It’s basically the best thing in the history of television, is what I’m saying.
I would have definitely included if I’d seen any.
