Fantastic Community episode, though Abed at standard unfeeling tv-autism robot guy was shallow. Other characters had some nice moments though.
Mom was astonishingly unfunny, but it didn't even seem to be trying. Just piling on indignity after indignity to portray the petty indignities of being working class. Not sure if it's quite working here the way it has worked in other episodes - it seemed a little too self aware of what it was doing. "Maybe people do change." / "Maybe they don't." Well, duh. The episode never allowed it as an option to fail - there was never any possible doubt that the roof would be fixed. (Luke and Baxter kind of going through the complete constellation of tv masculinity in one conversation - fixing things, being immature, being fathers, blaming fathers - was oddly interesting however.)
