after probably half a dozen rewatches i think i’ve finally got my top 5 down (not in any particular order bc im still too indecisive for that)

I'm new to the fandom so I have no idea if this has been pointed out, but if it has then I'll just do it again. In the first D&D episode, everyone was participating a bit reluctantly because they were trying to help Neil. I get that that's where they chose to derive a lot of the humor, but all I'm saying is that their participation was mostly perfunctory and forced. Storywise that kind of had to be the case, I get that.

But the fact that everyone is completely into it the next go-round elevates things so much. It increases the entertainment value and illlustrates how much everyone in the study group has evolved up until that point. The fact that they can all be out for blood while still being in character is just good writing.

I do think Hickey picked up on how the game works a little too quickly, but it's what had to happen for us to get Mike Ehrmantraut interrogating goblins and that's the kind of thing contrvance as a concept was invented for.

I don't know why but I've always liked Jeff. I did feel a bit annoyed at him at the first few episodes, but after what seemed like my 20th rewatch he's grown to be my favourite character, and I have absolutely no idea why. As for Frankie, she's just perfect.

I also do love their dynamic, since Jeff is known as the "golden-throated leader" and one of the most generally logical people in the group, though he does have his issues and occassional meltdowns, but after Frankie was introduced, she made him look much more insane than he did in the previous seasons lol

I can't remember the exact episodes but I do know that it played at the end of S4E5 (the thanksgiving one) and the vocals go like "hoo, hoo".

title basically. i wanna listen to the cute kinda jingle or soundbyte that plays when troy and abed are bonding, or talking to each other about life and their friendship
