6x05 "Laws of Robotics & Party Rights" (All Hail Annie) [Contributor: Deborah MacArthur]


"Laws of Robotics & Party Rights"
Original Airdate: April 7, 2015

There are some things that I really liked about this episode and nothing I totally hated, but I was struggling to write this because there was nothing big I could actually grab a hold of and use to fuel a whole review. There were themes, but not broad ones or ones I think are meant to carry on throughout the rest of the season. The A and B stories only seemed to relate to each other in terms of two characters learning lessons at the end of them, and that's not exactly breaking new ground as far as sitcoms go.

Jeff and the Dean (and My Confusion)

The A-plot involves a bunch of convicts attending Greendale via remote devices that look like tablets on wheels called telepresence robots (actual things that exist by the way), and Jeff is initially very pro-convicts because if the school accepts them, it gets $300,000. The Dean fights him on it for about three seconds before caving, and then the convicts arrive. One of them, Willy, is in Jeff's Fundamentals of Law class and doesn't seem to enjoy the way Jeff teaches. That is to say, Jeff doesn't teach at all: he puts on a video and makes jokes about his life and how he ended up a teacher at Greendale, and how he's not that much different from a convict like Willy – other than the fact that Jeff's never murdered anyone, of course.

But then Willy tries to murder Jeff by nudging him down the stairs in the parking garage and when Jeff goes to the Dean, the Dean sides with Willy over Jeff. This sends Jeff into a spiral of irritation and anger because he's right and Willy is wrong but no one's listening to him. Jeff hates people not listening to him, and he hates that he loses control over his class because he lets Willy get under his skin. Because even though Jeff never cared about his class before, he did care about them thinking he was cool and funny and Willy ruins that.

This story was thematically all over the place. What was the arcing motivation/idea? Was it about Jeff's inability to cope with his feelings? (Jeff says to Willy: "I hear you have to have strong feelings for someone you kill. I try to reserve that stuff for myself," and that gets paid off later when his feelings of anger cause him to throw Willy's telepresence robot down a flight of stairs, thus "killing" him.) Was it another revisit of one of Jeff's key character traits: his hatred of being on the "losing side" of anything, especially other people's opinions of him? The way the story ends implies that it was about Jeff's friendship with the Dean and Jeff accepting that, yes, he considers himself the Dean's friend – but that's literally just the end of the storyline. The only instance of that particular theme creeping in is when the Dean sides with Willy over Jeff and Jeff gets mad about it.

One thing that isn't really dealt with in this plot is the thing that kind of started it in the first place: Jeff is a really bad teacher. Willy doesn't like that Jeff's a really bad teacher. It could be argued that Willy would have tried to murder Jeff even if he had been a decent teacher, but he wouldn't have had anything to hold over him and discredit him when he went to the Dean if Jeff had tried a little harder.

The way the narrative of the plot progresses gives the impression that Jeff's halfhearted methods of teaching Greendale students instigated Willy's murder attempt, and a logical conclusion would have been Jeff actually trying to teach the class about law because he's learned that caring about something is important and it is possible for him to care about things that aren’t himself. But that doesn't happen. We don't get a follow-up with Jeff actually teaching a class instead of putting on a video of Planet Earth and playing on his phone the entire time, and I think the storyline is missing something because of that.

Britta and Annie (And Abed)

The other story we're dealing with in "Laws of Robotics & Party Rights" involves Britta wanting to throw a post-midterms party in the apartment she shares with Annie and Abed. The problem: there's an established rule against parties with more than eight people in attendance, and Britta doesn't think eight people is much of a party.

So Britta convinces Abed to let her throw the party as a "movie" about partying like there's no tomorrow and Abed, of course, approaches this with extreme seriousness. He continues trying to get good partying footage well after the actual party Britta wanted is over, and it's implied that he'd probably keep trying forever and deprive Britta of sleep the entire time. Because Britta sleeps on the couch. In the living room, where parties happen.

Annie had predicted this would blow up in Britta's face as soon as the plot was laid out before her, because Annie knows Abed and she knows that rules exist for a very good reason and that skirting around them only ends in everything blowing up in your face (this episode lacks a cohesive connection between the two plots, but "skirting around the rules will end in everything blowing up in your face" could be considered a good running theme in Community overall). She tells Britta that she's going to regret manipulating Abed later, and she's right.

Annie's a real badass in this episode and Britta's likable and foolish rather than an over-the-top screw-up and these are both excellent things. The B-story ends with Annie getting Britta to confess to Abed about her scheming and Abed likely going on to make Britta’s life hell for a good long while.

Annie and Britta’s story in this episode concludes with a weird handshake and another fake show title card, this one reading "Female Friends!" (accompanied by a cheerful little music sting), which is charming but almost as misleading as Britta's party movie script because the friendship between the two women is still shaky at best and always has been, and maybe the ship has sailed on it ever being anything but shaky. That's incredibly unfortunate because this is a show about very different people finding a way to fit into a family with each other, and I don't think Annie and Britta have ever fit as well together – in different ways – as, say, Jeff and Annie, or Britta and Jeff, or Annie and Shirley (when the show wasn't ridiculously revisiting their brief season one rivalry, of course).

We got a brief mention of them shopping together a long, long time ago but nothing since then, and no other hints that they spend time with each other off-screen. Even on screen, we don't get many stories with Annie and Britta together or about their friendship and when we do they're usually at odds with each other in some way. There never seems to be much of a long-term resolution to their relationship, or an implication that they might one day become closer or could be considered “close” now, even after six years of knowing each other. Sticking a fake title card for a fake TV show about their friendship up on screen doesn't solve the basic problem of the writers repeatedly pitting them against each other for some inexplicable reason.

Aaaand, that's pretty much all I have to say about the episode, which was funny - don't get me wrong. I liked it, but it was a struggle to figure out what it was trying to say and what these things all mean in the long-term. Will a future episode have Jeff actually teaching his class because he learned his lesson in this episode even though that plot thread wasn't resolved within this episode? Will Annie and Britta have more stories together, or develop their friendship in some way? I have no idea. I'm thinking probably not - but Community has surprised me many times before.

Other things:
  • "I have a brain the size of Jupiter, I'm nobody's fourth Ghostbuster." I could quote pretty much anything Elroy says in the cold open. He's fitting in with the group incredibly well and I love it.
  • BRITTA LIVED IN NEW YORK!
  • "If I see any race gangs forming, I'll have no choice but to adjust the contrast on your screens until you all look the same."
  • Jeff is a teacher! You guys - the show remembered that Jeff is a teacher! I think I'm more excited by this than I should be.
  • Aw, a brief cameo from Fake Troy's arm. I miss real Troy's arm. And his face. I miss Troy. [Jenn's note: After re-watching a bunch of seasons 1-3 this weekend, I wholeheartedly agree. There's something missing without him and no one can convince me otherwise.]
  • Now, I definitely wouldn't throw anyone down a flight of stairs, but - if I had a professor as careless and lazy as Jeff, I'd be pretty pissed too. Try harder, Jeff. Just think about Annie’s disappointed face every time you decide to put a movie on instead of actually teach.
  • If Britta's script was just that one page Annie read out loud, what were the other thirty or so pages? Party plans?
  • "When this is over, you'll beg for my forgiveness." All hail Annie!
  • Was I the only one amused by Jeff’s repeated use of the word “murder” instead of, say, “kill”?
  • I like Britta the Therapist Bartender so, so much more than Britta the cartoonish idiot. Like, she's still a bit silly because she's Britta and she doesn't know what a petard is, but she's a good kind of silly and she doesn't steal children's tricycles or poop her pants.
  • Jeff attempting to “party like there’s no tomorrow” for Abed’s movie is a very simple, brief example of how Jeff has grown. An earlier version of Jeff would have given Abed an unamused look and walked away. [Jenn's note: It's also a hilarious example of how Joel McHale, much like Jake Johnson, cannot dance and the shows they're on both insist on forcing them.]
  • "Don't question rules. Rules are good. I'm bad. All hail Annie." Jenn says "All hail Annie" should be the new mantra. And I agree. [Jenn's note: It's so true that I made it the subtitle for this review. Don't underestimate the Edison.]
  • Why did Jeff steal an overhead projector, though? What is he doing with it? The roll of carpet, I get - rolls of carpet are very useful - but an overhead projector?
Did you all enjoy "Laws of Robotics & Party Rights"? Let us know what you thought of the episode in the comments. Jenn will be back next week with a very meta episode titled "Basic Email Security." Until next time, folks! :)

  1. Episodes like season 3's Digital Estate Planning or Virtual System Analysis don't move the narrative, but they are funny, smart, and inventive. They are one off's, like this one, but this one isn't on par with those past episodes.

    The weaknesses are part of the natural problem as Jeff as the avitar of Dan Harmon: childish behavior and professions are silly. All Jeff has to do to make people hate the inmate is to teach an actual class with a quiz at the end. You know, something that an actual teacher in a school he cares about would do. But Jeff can't, because responding as a child is all he can do, because he is Dan Harmon. He also can't be bothered with respecting what he does, which bothers me because I TEACH. But on Community, teachers are, well, silly (Ladders), lawyers are nothing but liars, and every other profession is just a group of fools of a certain sort. That isn't reality, and the best humor at least touches reality.

    The B story just needed more silly time with Abed unintentionally creating misery for Britta. The A story could have been just the Jeff realizing that teaching is more rewarding than being the funniest guy in the room. Instead, we get a middling episode without direction for the characters, big laughs, or interesting approach.

  2. I agree that this lacked a coherency between the two storylines, but I laughed so hard at this episode. Like, harder than I have for the entire season so far, I found it really, really funny, and I can forgive a certain amount of weak storytelling in a comedy if it can make me laugh.

    I'm so glad Britta moved into the apartment. It's a logical way too introduce new story ideas, and I feel like so far it's paying off in a good way. I know it is far too late to turn Annie and Britta into Leslie and Anne, but they don't have to be. Just letting them have storylines together, finally, is a happy thing, because it's new and different and feels fresher than the "creative" homage episodes.

    Also glad to see the show remember that Jeff is a teacher. This is another comedy goldmine that it let slip away. "Jeff is gradually forced to be good at his job in spite of himself" would be a nice (read: amusing) thing to see. Since that didn't happen in this episode, here's hoping it shows up later; this may mark me as a naive optimist and the series may from now on do nothing with what it's established so far, ala last season, but allow me my hope.

      I'm 10000% here for more Britta/Annie stories but -- Deb and I talked about this on Twitter -- there has literally never been a story in six years with just the two of them being friends with each other. It's either a story about them being completely and totally at odds and hating each other (God, I hate this episode but "The Psychology of Letting Go" is the perfect example) or there's just an episode featuring the three women ("Aerodynamics of Gender" & "Politics of Human Sexuality"). The only episode that remotely features Britta and Annie in a story together primarily alone where they don't hate each other is "Origins of Vampire Mythology" and that's an episode that features Britta manipulating Annie.

      So while the show should focus on Britta/Annie stories and plots because I will ALWAYS prefer those to over-the-top homages, I feel like at this point (and Deb and I agreed) that in the course of six years, they don't even really have a FRIENDSHIP. And if they do have moments where they aren't at odds... why don't we see more of THOSE stories, you know?

    2. This was a funny episode. I think the cold open alone had more legitimately funny jokes than entire previous episodes of season 6. That's probably why I didn't actually dislike this episode. But I usually look for more in Community than just jokes.

      So yes, it was a funny episode but not a perfectly executed episode... And the thing is it could have easily been a funny, well executed episode with some minor changes. I guess I'm just disappointed? Entertained, but disappointed.

    3. I like that Britta is in the apartment, and I am glad they spent time exploring what it means to live with Abed (on the verge of insanity), Annie (ruler), and Britta (clumsy anarchist). I wish it was the main story, and it is nearly completely unmined (lockstep here Jennifer). I want to know why anyone puts up with these three at this point. We could have had that here. Britta and Annie don't have to be Leslie and Anne, but I really wish we understood why they are friends enough to be roommates.

      I would actually like to see Jeff as a teacher, because he has only backed into teaching one time in S5. We could have more of this, and Harmon has talked about wanting to do more here, but I can't help focusing on all of what we don't have with either of these stories, and I wasn't laughing hard enough to stop caring they were missing.

      Still a fan, and I am looking forward to next week, but for me this episode is in the bottom tier of all of the episodes. Not my least favorite, but not far from it.

      Agreed. I thought: "Oh, Jeff is going to be a teacher? This will make for a lot of amazing stories." Or... you know. NONE. I feel like that's what I'm missing, having re-watched a few episodes from season one this weekend. I really wish we would return to the dynamic of Greendale's teachers/students/etc. And you're right -- I haven't found this season to be hilarious but this episode didn't have enough humor to cover the thin plot.

    5. @Demorah M. above: I didn't mean to imply that its funniness excused its flaws, so much as "I enjoyed it in spite of its flaws because I found it funny." One of the funniest episodes for me last season for its jokes was "Advanced Advanced Dungeons and Dragons," and it was also the absolute WORST for wasting any potential character growth or storylines by focusing on a one-shot guest star character. But the horrible waste of time HIckey wound up being (I assumed with all his build up his back story would have SOMETHING to do with the finale, but NOPE) is something I could write a whole book on.

      If there's anything truly promising in this episode is that it returned to a plot point. Episode 2 introduced Britta moving in with Abed and Annie. Episode 5 returned to check up on how that was going. That's basic storytelling in a show, but Community's been missing it since, man, really early in season 4 before the writers gave up? Season 5 was horrible for introducing ideas an never revisiting them. Again, maybe I'm the naive optimist, but even a return to basic fundamentals gives me hope that this season won't be the waste of potential last season was after Troy's departure.

      (Also, don't mean to argue, I just don't have any RL friends who watch the show, so I have chosen the two of you to be my Community discussion buddies, even though I do not know and only started reading this blog last season. I like your analyses, I share some of your opinions, I hope you don't mind me posting.)

  3. Like Matt stated above, I'm really tired of Jeff not caring about what he does unless it gets him something. It's season 6 for heaven's sake and we've seen enough moments of depth from Jeff that returning to the lazy, self-centered, sarcastic child routine feels not only boring but like past growth is worthless. Argh! I think Jeff could have come to a realisation that the Dean is his friend without having to be so crap at his job.

    The Britta/Annie/Abed storyline was much better. I like that Annie didn't lecture Britta, she just stated a fact and let things run their course. I do wish that their relationship actually felt like they had been friends for more than 5 years now. And I do love how Annie explains what it is like to live with Abed. (It made me miss Troy terribly too!) Now that they are living together the show has another great opportunity to actually SHOW us a relationship between these two women.

    There were little shining moments like all of Elroy's lines, the Dean's little welcome speech to the convicts, and Britta's explanation of a petard. They just felt very thin and we know that Community can do better. We've seen it already this season.

    1. Yes, the "Jeff never learns and never grows and never cares" trait is irritating, but mostly because it's sketchy and inconsistent. There are times when Jeff DOES learn, grow, and care - without personal gain being a deciding factor in him doing so. But it's like a reset button happens when the storyline needs Jeff to be self-centered and lazy, which is ironic because the show itself made a joke about that "reset button" trope in sitcoms way back in season 1 because Dan Harmon didn't like when shows did that and he wanted his characters to grow and change more naturally.

      And yeah, I think the Annie/Britta/Abed storyline was better - it was definitely more consistent, and though I complained about the lack of friendliness between Annie and Britta in my review and my conversations with Jenn, I don't think I clarified that I was still happy that Annie and Britta got a story together and it was a fairly cohesive one compared to the A-story of Jeff and whatever the hell was going on there. I'm hoping that Annie and Britta sharing a space - and sharing the experience of living with Abed without Troy there to rein him in (and distract him, probably) - means they might become better friends. Maybe the reason why they never seem to hang out together is because the show never found a reason for them to hang out together? They're connected by the group, but ultimately have very different interests.

      I totally agree with you on the shining moments of this episode. I keep reiterating that this episode was not a bad episode - and Community has had some BAD episodes, so we know what those look like - but it was flimsy and could have been much better. I feel like if we could get the depth and character development quality of 6x04 and the jokes of 6x05, we'd have a pretty perfect episode.

    2. But it's like a reset button happens when the storyline needs Jeff to be self-centered and lazy

      I don't remember where or when Jaime and I talked about this but we did. Occasionally, the show will just do what Glee used to do and whenever it needed a source of conflict, it would make the characters regress or have a certain personality trait that they didn't possess JUST to have a plot or a conflict in a story. Jeff has grown so much but the problem is that his growth -- like everyone else's on the show -- is often just used for spurts of time. Like... Annie will grow for a few episodes, and then when they need her to freak out and regress, she will. Which is so maddening and it's what happens a lot to Jeff.

      I hope now that Annie and Britta have had their token "fight" of the season, we can return to an actual relationship between these two. Or, well, start one I guess.

      I agree with you both in that it's because we've seen better this season that I expected more out of this episode. It was the first real dud of the season, IMO.

  4. I had a really odd experience with this episode. I really enjoyed it while it was on – there were probably more genuine, laugh out loud moments than there have been for a long time – but then I came to read this review and it pointed out something which really annoyed me (about the episode, not the review – the review was spot on). This bit, to be precise -

    One thing that isn't really dealt with in this plot is the thing that kind of started it in the first place: Jeff is a really bad teacher. Willy doesn't like that Jeff's a really bad teacher.

    And the reason I don't like it is because of this -

    Will a future episode have Jeff actually teaching his class because he learned his lesson in this episode even though that plot thread wasn't resolved within this episode?

    The thing is, we've already had that episode – it was “Introduction to Teaching” (5x02), remember the bit where Annie is sitting in on Jeff's class and they have a huge row that ends with her storming out, and the class is temporarily in awe of him because *nobody* wins an argument with Annie Edison, and Jeff uses this to teach the class how to construct an argument, and you can see him really start to get excited about what he's doing and the class starting to engage with him? What happened to this Jeff? Why did they completely throw overboard the progress he made then to revert back to the blow-off Jeff of Season 1? I really hate this sort of character regression!

    On a brighter note - “all hail Annie” indeed. Alison Brie was awesome in this episode – this blog has often (rightly) praised the range and subtlety of Joel's facial expressions, but I think Alison outdid him in the scene where Britta thinks she's outsmarted Annie to get a party and Alison's face segues smoothly from pure rage, to gangster giving the kiss of death to what I can only describe as avenging angel as she closes the bedroom door. It's probably stretching things to say that Alison saved this episode (it was a long way from being a disaster, to be fair) but she was by a long, long way the best thing about it.

    Oh, and on the treats for careful watchers theme – anybody else notice Evil Abed's Mirror Spock beard was pinned up on the inside of Abed's locker??

  5. we don't get many stories with Annie and Britta together or about their friendship and when we do they're usually at odds with each other in some way. There never seems to be much of a long-term resolution to their relationship, or an implication that they might one day become closer or could be considered “close” now, even after six years of knowing each other. Sticking a fake title card for a fake TV show about their friendship up on screen doesn't solve the basic problem of the writers repeatedly pitting them against each other for some inexplicable reason.

    One thought on this if I may – I don' think it's implausible that they're not close friends, and I don't think it's inexplicable that they clash occasionally. Remember - Annie is the one who seeks refuge in rules and order, whereas Britta is the anarchist rebel constantly fighting “the man”; Annie is the recovering addict who is presumably terrified of relapsing whereas Britta is a recreational drug user who turned up high as a kite to the baptism of Shirley's baby; Britta is the free love advocate who uses men as casually as she thinks men use women, whereas Annie is the girl who's closest relationship with a man (that we know of) is with an emotionally repressed man-child who has spent five years (five years!) being terrified of his own feelings for her; and so on. I'm sure they love each other, in the Regency novel sense where one is the wayward apple of everybody's eye and the other is the dutiful wallflower, but I think they're too unlike to be truly close friends – if anything, Annie probably sees Britta as a warning of what Annie could become if she ever let her iron control slip. It is perhaps telling that the closest they get in the episode is when Britta's rebellion is broken by Abed's monomania and she is forced to defer to the rules Annie has devised for living with Abed.

    1. Richard: Oh, I totally understand where you're coming from in regards to the Britta/Annie friendship. They're never going to see eye-to-eye and they'll always clash over something fundamental in their personalities. But -- and this is a BIG but -- they never have stories that prove they are able to get along. Jeff and Annie clash on a fundamental level. So did Annie and Shirley. And Britta and Shirley. But we get stories all the time about them being friends, right? Or not even just being friends but actually a story about something not directly related to them clashing.

      My problem is that the show doesn't prove to us that Britta and Annie are actually friends. They've spent six years together and given the fact that the only stories they have together, just the two of them, involve them fighting... I don't get the sense that they're ACTUAL friends. If anything, this show has proven to me that until the Jeff/Britta/Annie triangle, Britta and Annie were on the verge of becoming friends and now they merely tolerate each other in group settings. Does that make sense? I don't have problems with them being different, but I do have problems with the fact that the only stories we ever get seem to be resolved with their "friendship" and yet in the very next episode, they'll be at each others' throats like nothing happened.

      I think I said this in my New Girl review this week but I want to believe these people are friends outside of Greendale -- that once the show's credits roll, they keep hanging out together. But I don't, not like I believe the people in the New Girl loft go out to lunch together or play games together or do things together to continue their friendship. I just don't get the same sense that the study group are actually FRIENDS when we're not watching them on screen.

      Sorry that was babbly and rambly, haha.

    2. Yeah, the lack of affection between Britta and Annie is what really bugs me about how their "friendship" is presented. All the other members of the group are shown liking each other, but for Britta and Annie there are always subtle hints that they just flat-out wouldn't be friends if they had any say in the matter. Things like Britta mock-crying about Annie not being able to go to a bar with them for Troy's birthday in "Mixology Certification" or Britta's inclination towards eye rolling and mockery whenever Annie has a project or task she wants the group to tackle, or Annie's instinctual belittling of Britta's lifestyle and choices.

      And their differences can't be an excuse. All of the group members are incredibly different, but the show manages to make it seem like they actually care for each other when they're together, or separated into different off-shoots.

      As for their friendships: until recently, I would disagree with Jenn regarding how the show presents the group as friends off-screen. In the past, there have been subtle things I've really appreciated, like in-jokes (the whole group doing rhymes like "Well well well, Harvey Keitel," for example, was a realistic in-joke that could have spread from one group member to the rest but was never explained to us, the outsiders) and references to off-screen stuff, that made me think they really were all friends… But for some reason the show has really started to drop those subtle things. I think it started with season 5, when it was implied that no one (save for Annie, Abed, and Troy, who lived together) saw each other for about a year and only got together because Greendale was involved in some way.

      Without this idea that these people really are all friends - genuine, true friends who care for each other outside of the context of a study group/community college - the show loses something. And I never feel that loss more precisely than when Annie and Britta get together and the show can't manage to make it look as if they actually like each other. It shines a light on the rest of the group and puts their friendship - the friendship that the entire series revolves around - into question. And it makes me sad.

  6. Jenn, thanks for replying...

    If anything, this show has proven to me that until the Jeff/Britta/Annie triangle, Britta and Annie were on the verge of becoming friends and now they merely tolerate each other in group settings. Does that make sense?

    Not only does it make sense, but I do wonder whether or not you have actually hit on the answer. We’re supposed to believe that Britta has long since moved past any feelings she had for Jeff, that her declaration at the Tranny Dance was more to do with competition with Slater than real feelings, etc. But... does a woman who has no feelings for a man usually accept a marriage proposal from him? (even a half baked one like the one at the end of S5?). If Britta does still have feelings for Jeff somehow, however well sublimated, then it would be understandable if she felt unable to just be friends with the one who so comprehensively replaced her in his affections, especially if it doesn’t even look like Annie is doing anything with her advantage. Just a theory, anyway...

    I just don't get the same sense that the study group are actually FRIENDS when we're not watching them on screen.

    Indeed – until this episode, I had no problem at all believing Annie and Abed were friends for example. However hearing Annie describe her coping strategies for living with Abed make it sound like there was a distinct Stockholm Syndrome element to that relationship these days, and Britta needs to be careful she doesn’t get sucked into it. I did get the impression they were friends while they were a study group by the way, but now they no longer have that glue they do seem to have drifted apart somewhat. Sad, but also somewhat realistic.

    (We don’t get “New Girl” over here, BTW:-( )

  7. We hired the planner in a hurry. But she was a complete champ, planning everything really well so that I wouldn't have any worries on my wedding day. Our event planning experience with her was amazing, she is incredibly dedicated to her brides.
