YMMV / Community S2 E16: Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking

• Catharsis Factor: Jeff beating the hell out of Pierce for the cruel prank, making good on his threat that "there will be nothing funny or madcap about it". After all the crap that Pierce pulled this season, including derailing Annie's anti-drug play and bullying Neil during Dungeons and Dragons, the man deserved it for giving Jeff false hope.
• Jerkass Woobie: Pierce. For all his cruel antics in this episode, he points out that he mainly does it because the group excludes him and considers him a joke.
  • Jeff is also one in this episode. He is the member who probably treats Pierce the worst and is quite angry in this episode. But when the car first pulls up, you can just look at his face and see that this may be the most emotionally vulnerable he has been during the entire show. Part of him thinks that it may not be a joke, and that the driver really could be his father.
