Hey there! So this is the weird post because it contains the Christmas episode and then the two episodes that were aired out of order after Community's unfortunate three-month hiatus. But it's okay because all three are fabulous! Here we go!
3x10- Regional Holiday Music
Episode Rundown- It's Christmas, y'all!! And what better way to celebrate than by sending off the Glee Club at Greendale and filling in for them at the pagaent?! That's what happens in this episode, anyway. Taran Killam guest stars as Glee Club advisor Mr. Rad as he gets the study group involved, one by one starting with Abed, in the Christmas pageant. The two sing a song about glee (As Troy says, "Glee literally means... glee!!") and then Abed and Troy rap about how fabulous Christmas is. The next day they get Pierce involved with a song about "Baby Boomer Santa" and later Annie gets Jeff involved in a "Santa Baby"-esque "Teach Me How to Understand Christmas." Eventually, they're all in and then Mr. Rad tells Abed that this isn't just for Christmas, it's for life. So Abed pulls the plug and sends Britta, who's an awful singer to ruin the pageant. She does, the group sings "The First Noel," and then gather to watch a Christmas special. The end!! The tag is "Carol of the Bells" as performed by Dean Pelton, Chang, Magnitude, Starburns, and Leonard. It's awesome.
What Was Great
~ Everything! I love musicals but I hate Glee, so watching the Community cast sing songs making fun of Glee was absolutely amazing.
What Wasn't So Great
~ Zip-ola. Legit nothing. Loved it all.

A Christmas spectacular ten out of ten!
3x11- Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts
Episode Rundown- The episode after the hiatus was great. Andre comes into the cafeteria with Boys II Men, I think, to propose re-marriage to Shirley, who gratefully accepts. Jeff and Britta badmouth marriage all episode and then end up drunkenly almost married for the second time in the show's running. It turns out Britta's really good at wedding planning and she and Annie plan the entire small wedding in their study room and it's lovely. Abed and Troy are on a "being normal" kick and spend the whole time anti-Troy and Abed. And Shirley and Pierce decide to be business partners and open up a sandwich shop in the cafeteria in the space that used to be the coffee shop Hot and Brown. There are some complications, though!! Anyway, Shirley and Andre get married and everyone's happy! Yay! The end tag involves Pierce having a soft serve ice cream nightmare... Hilarious!
What Was Great
~ "Pierce, why do you look like a wealthy murderer?" Thank you, Troy, for asking what I too was wondering.
~ "Someone tell Britta what an analogy is." "I know what it is! It's like a thought with another thought's hat on."
~ "Just nut up and die alone!" Charming, Winger.
~ Abed- "Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! That's the noise that people make when they're offended in all the movies Annie rents." LOL.
~ "I'm feeling normal already!! ... Crab walk home?!" Hahaha yes, that's so normal...
~ Shirley laughing hysterically and then the screen passing and saying "Literally two full minutes later." So great.
~ Britta being awesome at floral arrangements- "We'll use this one and this one and how about this one and then just throw a ribbon on it." Lol.
~ Annie humming "Daybreak." Fabulous!
~ "This may shock you, Annie, but I come from a long line of wives and mothers." "... Many do..."
~ Normal Troy and Abed!
~ "I promise to put your dreams before mine!" "I promise to bottle up my repulsion at the sight of your hair in the drain." "I promise not to earn more than 70% of what you'd make at the same job!" "What about babies?" "What about 'em?" "How many?" "Pick a number, dick, like it's up to me!!" Best. exchange. ever.
~ The dance scene lol. So funny.
~ The tag!
What Wasn't So Great
~ Pierce was really annoying in this episode, but that's about it.

I would give this episode a nine out of ten! Great way to welcome us back to the show!
3x12- Contemporary Impressionists
Episode Rundown- This episode is just hilarious. I laughed from the very beginning to the very end. Abed makes a habit out of hiring a guy (French Stewart) to reenact movie scenes with him, but he hasn't yet paid him for his services. He tells Troy that if he doesn't pay him back, he and his burly friends are going to break Abed's legs. Ouch... So the group dresses up as their celebrity counterparts and attends a bar mitzvah in which Jeff, who's dressed as Ryan Seacrest (oh the irony...), has a difficult time adjusting to praise and flattery considering the pills he's taking. Britta coaches him through this the whole episode and, after he destroys the bar mitzvah and runs from the place, she picks him up on the side of the road and the two have a heart to heart... kind of. Meanwhile, Troy is told that Abed's debts are paid and when he gets home the two have a disagreement about what the other is allowed to do. Uh-oh. Trouble in paradise? The end tag is Chang assembling his army. Meh.
What Was Great
~ Everything! This episode was so freaking hilarious.
What Wasn't So Great
~ Nada amigos.

Another well-deserved ten out of ten!!
