Community: a stop-motion episode in which Abed sees the world as a Rankin/Bass special.
Plot summary
On the last day of the semester, Abed (Danny Pudi) begins seeing life as stop motion. He announces this in the cafeteria to the study group's concern, then runs through the parking lot, where he sees Chang (Ken Jeong) as a snowman, and jumps on cars while singing about Christmas until he is tasered. In psychology professor Ian Duncan's (John Oliver) office, Jeff (Joel McHale) and Britta (Gillian Jacobs) express concern at Abed's risk of expulsion. Duncan believes he can publish a paper about Abed's delusions.
Despite Abed's protests against therapy, Britta leads him to the study room, where Duncan claims he is a Christmas wizard to ensure Abed's compliance. Abed describes their journey to Planet Abed, where his friends transform into toys: Jeff-in-the-Box, Troy Soldier (Donald Glover), Britta-Bot, Teddy Pierce (Chevy Chase), Ballerannie (Alison Brie) and Baby Doll Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown). Shirley protests at her character and is ejected by Duncan, who summons a remote-control Christmas pterodactyl; Jeff is eaten by insects called "humbugs" for being sarcastic. Abed and Annie sing brief songs about their downfall.
