Community (2009)

"Modern Warfare," Season 1, Episode 23 (2010) The episode that turned Community from a promising sitcom into a cult object. A campus paintball game with early class registration as the prize escalates into a full action movie, and Greendale becomes an all-out war zone. Fast and Furious director Justin Lin shot it like the real thing, which is why it still looks bigger than a sitcom budget should allow. It also sets up two traditions: the paintball episodes that follow, and a habit of hiding a relationship turn inside a genre spectacle.
