Trivia

Abed mentions how Hawkeye of M*A*S*H kept his humor and charm "even in the 11th year of the Korean war". While the TV show M*A*S*H lasted 11 seasons, the actual Korean War barely lasted 3 years.

User Reviews

Cheap way to include Jack Black

I love Jack Black but this was the first time that I've watched him and hated it. His Buddy character added nothing to the storyline and just made everything akward and clunky. This is obviously a Throwaway Episode, because by the end of the whole ordeal, all of the characters just set back as of none of it even happened, therefore it has zero effect on the plot.

Pointless, weird and cringey. Skip this episode.
