And earlier in this episode, Abed offers Annie chocolate...

"Abed this is so personal... and accurate" 😂

Britta: think about the threshold we are crossing *Opens a book while ostensibly looking for a pen*

Funny how Britta is the first to mention invasion of privacy and trusting Abed, but you can see she jus goes right into his notebook and reads his stuff when she can obviously tell theres no pen there

I like how Shirley is disgusted by Abed’s chart yet impressed with his accuracy.

Love how Abed didn’t even realize what it was at first 😂

Fun fact: An episode right before this one hinted he was doing this. While he was calling out girls and being Robocop-like, the text in the bottom left says the dates for each of the girls.

1:32 "I can explain..." *Silence* "...oh I thought you'd keep yelling over me." 😂😂😂

"Oh, I could never deprive the world the portion of my chest the strap would cover" is still one my favourite Winger lines and sums up his character so well

Has a pillow instead of books to make himself appear like a responsible student while also making it more comfortable to sit down with the backpack on. What a legend.

I hate how smart this actually was lol

One day you will be able to watch through all 6 seasons of community exclusively through clips on this KZfaq channel.

I LOVE that they actually included the moment the pen was stolen. Earlier, you can see a tiny hand reach up on the table and take the pen.

A chart like that is really streets ahead.

As a woman, I'd feel violated too, but also impressed he kept track of it so accurately. Then I would take the chocolate and let him continue because I'm too lazy to track it myself.

This would be so gross if it were anyone but Abed.

Troy: literally just has a pillow Troy’s the innocent of them all, not Abed (no offense to him)

"And by the time I realized what I was actually measuring, it started to yield really positive results for everybody, so I kept doing it."

i think it should be applauded that he created personalized period care packages and found ways to lessen the unpleasantness of the experience.

1:59 Interesting subtlety here. Annie accepts the chocolate willingly. Britta doesn't take notice until Annie throws the chocolate back. But Shirley had a suspicious observation on Abed's action, she was going to intervene but was hesitant until Annie reacts and all the three are shocked at Abed.

Honestly that chart sounds useful for the group as a whole, and it is very impressive that Abed was able to make that chart by complete accident

"Abed this is so personal, and so accurate" I love how Shirley's voice come to dissapointment to being impressed.

If you look at it closely it says "chocolate must be given every 4 hours."

The way Jeff just sits there looking at the charts the WHOLE time has me crying

I like how you can see their age difference reflected in their reactions. Annie, young and innocent (even unconfortable with her sexuality, as we see in the STD dance episode), feels violated. Shirkey, a middle-aged woman, has been completely attuned for decades, so she's more impressed by Abed's accuracy than the fact itself. And Britta is a middle ground.

1:25 how impressed Pierce looks might be the funniest part of the scene

Pierce's look when he discoveres what have abed done is just priceless.

As someone with three sisters, I can confirm that what Abed did was both reasonable and necessary, with or without intent.

Honestly it's really sweet and thoughtful. Without any understanding of the problem Abed discovered a way to alleviate the symptoms through simple trial and error.

Pierce's face in the background was absolutely priceless.

I love Abed's mild reaction, he wants to show stress and fear in a situation like this but it's like he literally can't.

"seem to feel better when offered chocolate, is followed by approx 1 hour of happiness.... must be given every 2 hours for 4 days" "Annie cries on day 2 Britta bit my finger Shirley complains about her kids"

Honestly, this is a case where intention makes all the difference. Of course anyone’s first reaction to finding out someone’s been secretly tracking when they bleed is to be creeped out. If he was doing it because he found it sexually stimulating, that would be gross. If he was doing it because he wanted an excuse to dismiss the women as irrational and slaves to their hormones whenever they were upset, that would be gross. But he just wanted to be a better friend, and take extra care of them when they were in a lot of physical pain and particularly sensitive, which is actually very sweet. Ideally he’d tell the girls about it, but I appreciate the guys in my life who pay attention to when my body is trying to self destruct and take extra steps for me. So yeah fellas, keeping track isn’t a terrible idea. Just don’t be a Pierce about it

All because Abed was trying to make sure that he wouldn't be insensitive.

1:09 Annie cries on day 2 Britta bit my finger Shirley complains about her kids 😹

I love how Shirley gets it a second before the others do, I'm loving her more and more with each rewatch

An important thing to realize here, he didn't set out to record the exact thing he recorded, you can't be upset at him for stumbling onto a pattern.

The point I love is how this scene explains why Annie is being just so insistent about her pen... Community's writing was always three or four steps ahead without being too smug or condescending about it

The moment Annie took the chocolate from Abed is the moment when the whole episode made 10 times more sense...

Still haven’t gotten over my dangerous infatuation with Alison Brie’s Annie.

1:53 - "I feel so violated." Says the person who's willing going through each person's possessions forcefully, just to get back an ultimately pointless item.

Realistically, any guy that pays this much attention to a girl and comes prepared to make feel better is a keeper.

As a woman, i would honestly love it if someone kept a chart like this to help make things easier, as was Abed's intention. Periods are hard y'all. Trying to keep it a secret makes it so much more difficult.

Abed just became my hero.

Mentioning Troy's pet monkey makes me think this came as a way for the writers to sneakily remind audiences of it's existence and have the ending pack a bigger punch lol.

Sheesh... I guess it's true what they say about the sync-up.

“When offered chocolate is followed by approx 1 hour of happiness.” 1:10

shirleys two tone sentences get me EVERYTIME LMAO "abed this is so personal?? 😱😨" "and accurate 😳😮"

Pierces face when Britta says what abed was doing is just the greatest

"Annie cries on day 2. Britta bit my finger"

I love Troy's subtle head nod of understanding

I just realized Pierce's line "Abed just became my hero" is a callback to Jeff's line "You just became my hero". It is incredible how much is going on in this scene.

Every quote from this 2 min video is brilliant. One of the best episodes ever.

He didn’t violate anyone’s privacy. He tracked it based only on the girls reactions during social interactions. And he’s really good at it. That’s fair game!

1:10. Those little notes on the specific days of the week are a nice detail on behalf of the props team!

Look at Jeff taking a peek at the chart while Abed was offering chocolate , classic winger ;)

"Pierce, you don't have a bag?" *waves hand dismissively* "Giraffe."

It's really an almost nothing detail but the distinct looks Shirley, Britta, and Annie give and the way they say "No" to Pierce is just so great

Am I the only one here who's truly impressed with what Abed did? He's by far he's the most observant and intelligent. Even though he appears off, he actually may have been worried for because of of more adverse reactions to him than the rest. And even after he figured it out, he maintained everyone's dignity by keeping it to himself.

1:25 I love Pierce's face of suppressed pride.

It had started to yield really positive results for everybody.

i think its really impressive that they displayed symptoms consistently enough he could track it down to the day, using just emotional fluctuations. Exact patterns and how to resolve said issues, dude is observant as hell

So he's tracking when they're the most emotional and need space or comfort to not upset them. And that's... bad?

If you pause on the notebook you can see Abed wrote “Britta bit my finger” lol

I love that little nod Troy is making while Abed explains it. He basically did what every guy here would do: Thinking "Yeah, sure, makes sense".

Watching these clips gives me the chills and i almost want to shed tears because of how community is dear to me. There's something magical about it, the general feeling of the series it just hits a nerve.

Abed has unabashedly turned his autism into a superpower and I wish we, as a society, could encourage more people to do the same.

How is this gross? As a woman, I'd love to be more upfront about the timing and symptoms of periods. And I'd be super flattered if someone cared enough to figure out the timing and supplied what I needed without ever making an issue of it.

This is the results of logic and numbers baby. Not creepy just finding a solution to a problem.

Charting people’s emotions bc of my autism is something I’ve done before. Also I wonder what they were thinking before they realized what the charts were.

I think it’s worse that she opened his notebook and started reading and then wouldn’t give it back.

Annie to Britta:"..... you paranoid weirdo" Also Annie says next : "Everybody stay within each others eye lines please . One of you is a monster"

Me, watching literally any video uploaded onto this channel: This was the moment I knew this show was special.

Honestly... while they have a right to feel invaded; he didn't gain this information by anything secret, just observation. Personally, there's no reason to stop him from doing it, because he can literally just gain that information again by being attentive.

Earlier when Abed offered Annie chocolate, I was like "is she on her period?". I felt good when I basically called it

We all need a friend like Abed

I need to stop watching yt clips and just commit to a full rewatch

Invasion of privacy aside, this is actually smart. It can prevent a lot of stressful confrontations between both a guy and a girl.

I've never understood why there aren't more tactical, therapies or a slew of self-help books geared to assist women through their individual cycles. It just makes sense and could benefit everyone.

2:05 the one moment Pierce truly was streets ahead

1:25 Pierce's smile xD I love this show

Is it weird I'm literally just appreciating how straight the lines were in Abed's notebook? 😂

Me 2 the guy who started this channel: 0:15

Pierce's look makes everything even better 1:24

0:24 "and we get to kill you" so dark but so hot

My dad actually did this in his shop in the USAF back in the 60s. He said ladies were having 2...sometimes 3 periods a month...to get out of work. He was reprimanded for it. The USAF apparently frowns on it

Can I just say that I need an Abed, he is so sweet, caring, and funny in his own adorable way

Abed is the most meta character i've ever seen and it is awesome

This channel keeps uploading exactly what I've been watching in the show

The person managing this channel just became my hero

Abed is so sweet. I'd ask him to share the data with me, lol

In the previous episode when Abed is “scanning” if you pause it and read what all the scans say, it mentions he’s tracking their cycles.

"It was starting to yield really positive results for everybody"

whats even more funny is that the comment Pierce made was actually accurate as you can see the dates, they are synced up

Honestly once I knew the intentions I would feel pretty touched that someone would do this for me

Abed just became my hero

I kind of used to do this for my girlfriend in college because it gave me a better idea of how take better care of her during those times and so I'd know to be more sensitive. I told her about it and she seemed to really appreciate it, and we even joked about it because there were a couple of times that I knew before she did. In Abeds case I don't understand the anger. He struggles socially a lot, and this is one of the few tangible ways we've seen him actually try to be more mindful of other people's needs and grow as a person. I'd honestly be impressed

The wildest thing about this is how long their cycles are... 28 days OFF?? I would kill for that my entire cycle is only 24 days long...

“Pierce you don’t have a bag?” “Giraffe.” Pierce you’ve been taking too many of those pills.

"A-bed just became my hero." Sigh. I wonder if Chevy ever realized this show was his chance to do a victory lap on a stellar comedy career.
