I love how they characterized Tariq. He was a neglectful boyfriend but he’s still a good person. And he genuinely cares about Janine and the community. It’s such a breath of fresh air cause usually shows would make Tariq a complete asshole to make Gregory look better or to for some drama, but Quinta doesn’t do it here. And his obliviousness makes for some great comedy that wouldn’t be as funny if he was a complete jerk

Tariq is proof that a broken clock is right twice a day 😂

I also like how Tariq says, "our kids." He really does care about the community, unlike charter school dude.

“I got enough beefs to start a butcher shop right now.” That’s actually a damn good line.

Tariq confuses me in that he’s both dumb and smart at the same time like how? I also love that even if it’s stupid people still love his songs.

"I play the lottery every single day and I never win." Tariq coming in clutch....for once...

“This man is playing the Powerball with our kids!” 😂

Man, get outta here with that NUT ASS SUIT! I’m weak!!!! Aaron Burr loses AGAIN!

"Man get out of here with that nut ass suit!" 😂😂😂 when a child roast you like that, exit stage left 😂

Seeing all the parents and Tariq dress down Draemond's bs was glorious, and Mr. Johnson then LITERALLY sweeping him off the stage?? Cherry on top. This show is awesome 🤣

Gregory: “Get on the stage!👆🏽” Tariq: 😬“You right, Talent Manager.”

3:49 Tariq said the realest, logical statement and comparison that I’ve ever heard him say throughout the whole series so far 🤯👏🏽👏🏽

Not Mr. Johnson sweeping him off the stage

“ Hold on hold on hold on I play the lottery every single day and I never win. This man is playing a power ball with our kids”. I was dying 😂😂😂

Mr. Johnson sweeping him off the stage like sandman at the Apollo had me DYING....he even broke character and was laughing 🤣

Abbott on Abbott on Abbott! One of the best episodes so far! This show just never disappoints! Much love to the whole cast and crew from bottom to top, just the best!

Gregory dancing again with the clipboard and then staring at Janine as she dances and then he looks at Tariq 😂😂😂

It's always funny to me how Melissa is such an OG mafia queen, but whenever she hears Tariq's raps, she's all shocked. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Get on the stage.” Gregory play no games 😭😭

“THIS MAN IS PLAYING POWERBALL WITH OUR KIDS!!!” Took me out 😂😂😂

Zack Fox should get an Emmy nomination for playing Tariq. So funny! This episode was phenomenal!

Leslie Odom Jr is a good actor man

That was beautiful! As an Educator am glad the parents did not allow themselves to be beguiled by the trap that is a “charter” school; which is terrible on so many levels for the children…✊🏽✊🏽💕💕💗💗😢

Janine dancing 🤣🤣🤣

"Never have I ever been so happy to hear such explicit context"😂😂😂😂

Leslie Odom Jr. is such a magnetic actor. Good on the creators of Abbott for bringing him in.

The sandman reference! Janine and Gregory dancing! Abbott on Abbott on Abbott! Such a fun episode.

This show should win the Emmy for this scene alone. Give Ted Lasso a run for its money!

Lmaooo Tariq is literally proof that as long as you believe in yourself nothing else matters😅😅 I think its so dope how Janine was always genuinely supporting him. I hope he gets bigger as the show goes on.

This episode made me proud to be a Philadelphian when the kid roasted the evil charter dude.

i seriously love this sitcom. not only is this for laughs, but it also portrays the reality of vulnerable schools and how opportunists try to exploit everyone with their ‘motivational speech’

I love how he walks off with that dumb look on his face after Melissa snatches his cotton candy. Tariq is so lovable.

Gregory real quick “get on the stage.” “Yes talent handler”

Loved this! SUCH a great moment! I was kinda nervous but the parents & Tariq really pulled through & made good points! GO ABBOTT! ❤

The way that Tariq got everybody to unite behind Barbara Howard and say no to Draemond Winding - this is exactly the kind of unionized energy Brittani Nichols, Kate Peterman, Quinta Brunson, Justin Tan, Joya McCrory, Ava Coleman (the writer, not the character named after her), Brian Rubenstein, Jordan Temple, Riley Dufurrena, and Garrett Werner, all of Abbott Elementary's current writers need to get *streaming* royalty checks for their work writing Abbott Elementary - just like how writers had a 2007 strike for DVD royalty checks and writers had a 1981 strike for royalties in home video media sales, following the actors' 1980 strike for royalties in home video media sales.

I wonder if the parents catching on at the beginning that jasmine sullivan isnt coming is supposed to reflect "theyre smart enough to call abbott on their bull BUT that means theyre also MORE than smart enough to do the same thing to leslie odom"

Amber saying who like “you better not fire Greg “

I just realised that the Ava fest was supposed to stand for "a very Abbott fest" but the poster has Ava on it Also another fun fact is that the pic of Ava on the poster is the same one she used in season 1 when she spent all the 3000$ for the school billboard.

"i play the lottery every single day and i NEVER win..." 😭

I love the fact that tahir moore was in this episode. Love seeing people from the internet on tv

Draemond wasn't ready.

4:16-4:26 To the left, to the left 😂😂😂

1:36 I don’t even like rapping but man can this guy influence the school system 1:55 🙌🙌🙌

Ava “ I’m so happy I thought of this “ 😂😂

Mr. Johnson sand-manned the Charter Schools guy 😂😂😂

Damn leave it to the parents/guardians and of course Tariq to stand up for their kids, teachers and staffed. They don’t want nor care of some fancy ass school. There main priorities is for their kids to have the best education with the best teachers. I love and enjoy how each parent took their sweet time talking down to that fool. Jeanine, Gregory, Jacob, Barbara, Melissa, Ava and Mr. Johnson enjoy the show, there like hell yeah where’s the popcorn. This is what I call a badass community. Parents don’t get easily bought when it comes to there kids. They know a con when they see one there not so easily fool. Mr. Johnson loved cleaning that garbage out his school. Shame that the great teacher like Mrs. Howard had to see one of her kids turned into a jackass. Great teachers like her and the rest of em is a privilege and that fool took her for granted. I stand with abbot elementary💕🍯

. Black people will vibe with aything that has a good beat and flow lmao

Tahir🥺, you’re flying high✨

3:42 Shoutouts to Tahir Moore from my hometown of E St Louis, IL. We’re all proud of you fam!!! 89 Blocks stand up!

This made me so happy. I don't even relate as much as others on the topic but watching a community stand up together is inspiring 🙏

I loved seeing Tahir on Abbott Elementary 😂

I wanted a rap battle. I mean, I knew it was unlikely, but I just wanted to hear Leslie Odom Jr. 😢

Abbott on Abbott on Abbott is stuck in my head!

I love Mr. Johnson 🤣🤣🤣 he is hilarious!!

4:28 that janitor just became my hero

Tahir Moore too??😭

Why am I now realizing that’s Leslie Odom Jr!!

I see you acting Tahir Moore!

thank you! love Tariq

Not Mr. Johnson literally sweeping him off the stage like trash 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣

This was a great episode! Brought the communicate and school together where it counts!

Mr johnson shooing him offstage with the broom lmaoo

“man get outta here with that nut ass suit” I AM CRYING 😭

0:13 woah Youre the food truck guy from b99

😂 Mr Johnson always for the win

I wanna be in that room where it happens.

even the kids and side characters are funny. that kid's delivery was perfect lmao. that's exactly how a kid would roast you in real life too

HAPPY TEACHERS APPRECIATION WEEK!

Tariq is shaping up to be the Jean-Ralphio of Abbot Elementary lol.

2:31 not yet but keep that arm warmed

Those bars are fire!!! BOI actually has talent!

4:40 ABBOT ABBOT ON ABBOT

Draemond couldn’t convince an addict to be clean with that sales pitch.

Tariq is hilarious 😂😂😂

Amazing writing !!!

This scene in my Roman Empire.

global songstress has me WEAK

Let’s hope Legendary gets shut down in the future of the show! Charter schools should all be shut down!

This is my favorite part of the show, shit is so amazing and funny on so many levels

4:02 Ivy still out here being a boss

The way he shut down Draemond was brutal but powerful

1:54 😂😂😂 there's always that one guy!!

Song of the year🤣

Mr johnson😂 sweeping

Nah it was wild all the side characters coming in to save the day

I love zack fox They straight up applo'd that man

The way they swept that man off stage was Legendary 😂😂

3:51-3:53 😮

Tariq seems like he’s using Janine but bro dumb either way 😭

Yo Tahir Moore is in this show too? I gotta start watching it 😂

@tahir Moore in the back lmao

Best show on earth❤

i think it was krystal that saved the day but sure gregory.

3:52 Nice that he actually cares

He is really complaining about supporting the school system!!!! 🥴🤡

Crazy thing is it’s more beneficial for them to be a charter school 🤔🤔🤔

Wonder if part of this was Gregory’s plan to get Tariq back in the picture as a barrier to Janine 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Y'all catch Tariq slip up and call Gregory Tyler

0:22 Ava face 🤣🤣🤣

4:16 😂
