Modern Warfare, “Community.” I never watch an episode more than once, but this episode of “Community” I watched three times in under 24 hours, just so I could catch all the allusions. It brought in every cliche and trope imaginable, referencing — among others — The Book of Eli, Scarface, Boondock Saints, Rambo, The Matrix, “Friends,” “Cheers,” “Lost,” and even “Glee”, ending in a beautiful paint-ball Mexican stand-off and monster green-paint explosion. There were more movies and television shows referenced in 22 minutes than all of the Movie Movies. It was brilliantly inspired. Nothing on any sitcom in 2010, 2011, or 2012 will top that episode of “Community” (although, two other episodes of “Community” came close — the stop-motion Christmas episode and the Halloween zombie episode). It killed. Not even to mention the fact that Jeff and Britta had carnal relations. Funny, unexpected, and smart. And the most entertaining half hour of television all year long.
