10 Christmas Troy

Season 1, Episode 12 - Comparative Religion

Despite neither celebrating the holiday, Abed and Troy got into the Christmas spirit in "Comparative Religion." As Abed gleefully sang the traditional Christmas carol O Christmas Tree, replacing "tree" with "Troy," he carefully hung various decorations from the study room on Troy's face and body. Although he looked a fool, Troy was perfectly happy with how Abed was making him look and didn't bat an eyelid as his friend attached a large snowflake to the end of his flashing red nose.

Despite Jeff's initial confusion, he embraced Troy and Abed's unusual ways because they were happy and content, and after a beat, he ed them in the festivities.

However, Jeff's arrival made this end tag even better. Jeff was stunned at the sight and asked, "Why do you guys do stuff like this?" to which Troy shrugged and replied, "Because it's fun." Despite Jeff's initial confusion, he embraced Troy and Abed's unusual ways because they were happy and content, and after a beat, he ed them in the festivities. This was a great bonding opportunity for the three of them, but it was also a brilliant chance for Glover to show off his vocal range as they sang.

9 Troy Leaves A Voicemail For Abed

Season 1, Episode 23 - Modern Warfare

When Troy tried to leave Abed a voicemail to meet him in the episode "Modern Warfare," he found it more difficult than it should have been. Troy struggled to decide how he wanted his voice to sound, repeatedly stopping and rerecording his message every few seconds. He tried various things, such as deepening his voice and attempting a Michael Jackson impression. Eventually, Jeff became fed up with listening and jumped in, leaving Abed a message that referred to Troy as his "girlfriend."

This was a hilarious yet wholesome moment for Troy and Abed, even though Abed wasn't there.

This was a hilarious yet wholesome moment for Troy and Abed, even though Abed wasn't there. This end tag showed just how quickly Troy and Abed had bonded and formed a strong friendship, mainly because Troy was so concerned with how he sounded on the phone to him. Even after Jeff left his harsh voicemail, he immediately worried that it was too much, which proved that Abed was an integral part of the study group.

8 Troy And Abed Impersonate Greendale's Students

Season 1, Episode 4 - Social Psychology

In one of Troy and Abed's earliest end tags, the pair sat in the study group and watched Greendale's other students sitting in the hall through a large window. Clearly bored, Troy and Abed started theorizing about who these people were and their voices, breaking out some ridiculous hypothetical impressions. Troy's impression of Jeff, who happened to walk by during this, was particularly funny because he compared him to Ryan Seacrest, with whom Joel McHale shared a resemblance.

Their faces as the other students looked over in agreement were priceless, looking away awkwardly.

However, Troy and Abed's fun was shut down when Jeff told them they could be heard through the window. Their faces as the other students looked over in agreement were priceless, looking away awkwardly. What made this tag even better was Troy's quick thinking, telling Abed to "pretend [they were] sleeping" as they shifted back into their seats and closed their eyes, thinking that they were believable.

7 Troy And Abed Find A Baby

Season 3, Episode 20 - Digital Estate Planning

The end tag in "Digital Estate Planning" was a hilarious take on the TV trope of two close male friends who think they can have a child together. As Abed and Troy entered the study room, they were surprised to find a baby alone in a car seat and discarded on the table. In a rapid few seconds, Abed decided that he'd have to work double shifts so they could financially the child, and Troy snapped back that he'd have to bring the baby up alone.

Hysterically, within 20 seconds, Abed and Troy had planned a life together with their kid, failing to acknowledge they had no clue where to begin.

Troy's emotions skyrocketed immediately, and he told Abed that the baby "needed to learn a strong man [could] cry" as he broke down. Hysterically, within 20 seconds, Abed and Troy had planned a life together with their kid, failing to acknowledge they had no clue where to begin. However, when the child's mother popped up from under the table with a toy before taking her baby and leaving, Troy and Abed immediately reverted to their prior state as if it'd never happened.

6 Troy And Abed's Bunkbeds

Season 3, Episode 17 - Basic Lupine Urology

As Abed and Troy discussed the logistics behind conversing in a bunkbed and where its name came from, the two friends looked cozy and content. However, Shirley (Nicole Yvette Brown) asked about their apartment's fumigation, and the camera angle shifted to show that they'd moved their bunkbeds into the study room. This small directional choice made this moment amazingly funny, especially when it turned out that they were able to return to their home a week prior but were still there.

Another comical moment was the Dean's song, which Troy happily shuffled along to as he and Abed were serenaded to sleep.

The end tag in "Basic Lupine Urology" continued to improve with every second as Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) arrived with two glasses of milk. Another comical moment was the Dean's song, which Troy happily shuffled along to as he and Abed were serenaded to sleep. This scene proved just how ridiculous Dean Pelton was by allowing the pair to live in Greendale's study room without a care in the world, but it also showed just how much he cared about his students and wanted to befriend them.

5 Troy And Abed Play Operation On Pierce

Season 3, Episode 2 - Geography Of Global Conflict

Troy and Abed's childish mischievousness was again visible in the end tag of the episode "Geography Of Global Conflict." Troy and Abed carefully removed Pierce's watch using pencils as he snoozed on the study room couch, quietly cheering for themselves when they succeeded. However, when they tried again with Pierce's glasses, he abruptly woke up and shouted at Troy and Abed, telling them that he wasn't "their damn board game" and to stop playing on him.

Troy and Abed were wearing gloves even though there was no risk of infection because they didn't cut anything, and they weren't holding scalpels either.

There were some small details in this end tag that contributed to its comedic value. For example, Troy and Abed were wearing gloves even though there was no risk of infection because they didn't cut anything, and they weren't holding scalpels either. They were also wearing medical scrubs, which was absurdly hilarious, as there was no logical explanation for where they'd acquired them. Troy and Abed always took playtime very seriously, and this end tag was a great example of that.

4 Abed Invites Troy Into A Cartoon Tunnel

Season 2, Episode 2 - ing For Lawyers

The end tag for the episode "ing For Lawyers" explored the extent of Troy and Abed's brilliant imaginations. As Troy walked past the outside of a Greendale building, he spotted a wall painted to look like a tunnel, with Abed peering through. Abed tried to convince Troy to him on the other side and claimed he'd become a cartoon, but in reality, he was hidden behind a nearby bin. It was astonishing that Troy believed him and moved as if he would run forward, but luckily, Abed popped up just in time.

The creative ideas that Abed formed throughout Community were incredible, but it was a little confusing how he managed to get an image of him painted on the wall of a community college with no issue.

This hilarious parody of the cartoon Loony Tunes was a great example of Abed's love for TV and film. The creative ideas that Abed formed throughout Community were incredible, but it was a little confusing how he managed to get an image of him painted on the wall of a community college with no issue. However, the funniest part of this end tag was Troy's heartbroken reaction, which Abed acknowledged with, "I think I might have done some damage there."

3 Troy And Abed In The Morning... Nights

Season 3, Episode 19 - Curriculum Unavailable

"Troy and Abed in the Morning," the duo's fictional talk show, hosted a nighttime version in the episode "Curriculum Unavailable." Talking to a non-existent audience, Troy and Abed went to their phone lines and introduced Jeff, whom they'd called, rather than the other way around. After Jeff hung up on them, Annie (Alison Brie) called in, delightful and keen to express her love for the show. However, Annie was living with them, so she started banging on the door, screaming at them to go to bed.

Every installment of "Troy and Abed in the Morning" was fantastic, but this end tag stood out.

Every episode of "Troy and Abed in the Morning" was fantastic, but this end tag stood out. The pair were wrapped up in silk pajamas and swirling glasses around what looked like whiskey but was actually soda, trying to appear more sophisticated than they were. After Annie's outburst, they still wrapped the show up as if viewers were watching. However, the best part was how they added "Nights" to the end of the title, which sounded similar to the vibrations of a cymbal after being hit.

2 Anthropology Rap - Featuring Betty White

Season 2, Episode 1 - Anthropology 101

In Community's first end tag, Troy and Abed famously created the "Biblioteca" rap, using random Spanish words and beatboxing. In season 2, however, they reprised their iconic tune alongside a Community cameo from Betty White, who played Professor June Bauer. This version was remixed to reflect their knowledge from "Anthology 101," referencing the various genera and kingdoms they studied. Although the original rap was legendary, Professor June's presence made the updated interpretation even better when she chimed in with the chorus of Africa by Toto.

Troy looked so pleased with himself as he grooved along, hyping their Professor up as she sang.

Troy looked so pleased with himself as he grooved along, hyping their Professor up as she sang. Donald Glover once again showed off his singing ability, providing harmonies alongside Abed and June's enthusiastic contributions. Throughout the scene, several pieces of text popped up on the screen explaining the context of the anthropological details they rapped about. However, it slowly changed to reflect them singing Africa, stating the music genre, and offering only a four-star rating for their performance, which made the whole scene even funnier.

1 Troy And Abed In The Morning - Jeff's Interview

Season 1, Episode 20 - The Science Of Illusion

Troy and Abed had some fantastic end tags throughout Community, but the best one by far was the original "Troy and Abed in the Morning." In the first edition of their fake talk show, Troy and Abed invited Jeff to be interviewed and asked about his diet and exercise regime. This end tag was the perfect example of Community's metaness, especially when the duo asked Jeff to lead them into a video clip for audiences. Jeff's hysterical expression as he looked around in confusion and listened to Troy and Abed use silly voices to mimic a video was terrific.

For some bizarre reason, a crowd had gathered outside the study room, carrying large signs and treating the imaginary TV show as if it was real.

For some bizarre reason, a crowd had gathered outside the study room, carrying large signs and treating the imaginary TV show as if it was real. Eventually, Jeff asked where the cameras were, and the pair itted that it wasn't being filmed. Hilariously, they were aware that their show was a weird thing to do, and Abed even remarked, "Who would watch this?" "Troy and Abed in the Morning" was a perfect way for Community to show the odd but sweet friendship between the two, and the original launched an iconic reference for the characters.
