History Recap / CommunityS1E23ModernWarfare

As Troy ponders whether or not he wants this new "TBD" that Pierce is pretty sure he had for about a month in the seventies, Jeff announces that he will be going to his car for a short nap. When he wakes up, he stumbles out of his car to find the school all but destroyed with paintballs. Interrogating Garrett, who Jeff finds lying slumped over in the hallway, he discovers that shortly after the paintball game started, the students turned on each other once the Dean announced what the final prize for the winner would be. When Jeff asks what the prize was, he is told that the game has not concluded, and is "still happening! ''Right now!''"

* LeapAndFire: Abed's introduction (pictured).

--->'''Abed:''' To be blunt, Jeff and Britta is no [[{{Friends}} Ross and Rachel]]. Your sexual tension and lack of chemistry are putting us all on edge. Which is why, ironically - and hear this on every level - [[IncrediblyLamePun you're keeping us from being]] ''{{Friends}}''.

--->'''Britta:''' Jeff and I do not have sexual tension. We just argue all the time.
--->'''Shirley:''' Awww, just like [[{{Cheers}} Sam and Diane]]! I ''hated'' Sam and Diane.
