#SHELDON IN BALL PIT SAYING BAZINGA TV#

On February 13, 2015, TV insider reported Guttenberg would play a Hollywood producer friend to Frankie. On February 9, 2015, Dan Harmon disclosed that Steve Guttenberg would be appearing on an episode of Community. It also parodies The Big Bang Theory with Abed imitating Sheldon Cooper saying ' bazinga' in a ball pit. The episode later lampoons the conventional distribution model of TV by suggesting the company set to distribute Abed's film just filed for bankruptcy because of the surge in online streaming. This episode parodies a scene from the original Star Wars when the characters fall into a trash compartment, as well as the films Raiders of the Lost Ark and Guardians of the Galaxy and actor Chris Pratt. Back in LA, a hungover Chang talks back to an unseen Steven Spielberg and is replaced by Randall Park in the end tag, Chang awkwardly returns to Greendale. At the last minute the film's producer Maury informs the group that the company funding the film went bankrupt thanks to YouTube, and Chang's credibility has tanked after going crazy with celebrities, but Jeff assures the group they will be okay. They compromise by cutting out Jeff's scene and adding in an extended ending featuring Jeff taunting Chang. Abed consoles Jeff by telling him that no matter what crap Jeff goes through, there will always be a moment worth savoring. With the departures of Pierce, Troy, Shirley, and Chang, Annie's and Abed's career plans, and Britta's bartending commitments, Jeff believes he will be the last one to ever leave Greendale. A fight ensues, leading to Jeff confessing that he is suffering an identity crisis. While Jeff watches video editing tutorials, Abed manages to break into the room. Everyone decides to cut out Jeff's prolonged death scene due to it not containing Chang refusing to let the one scene he put effort in go to waste, Jeff steals Abed's laptop and locks himself in the storage facility, hoping to edit out different portions. The scattershot, poorly planned film manages to be completed, when Maury tells Abed to edit out six minutes of footage. Noticing this, Jeff pulls Abed aside and convinces him that he needs to test what works first before continually improving it over time, thereby getting the film on track. Abed tries to do his usual repetitive takes, but everyone else wants to improvise every moment of the film and move on without reshoots.

The Dean stars as Chang's stand-in body double, while Jeff plays the mayor of outer space, Britta plays Princess Meridian, and Annie stars as Scorpio 9, a pleasure droid assassin.

Everyone but Abed is reluctant, as they are given only one weekend to complete the film.ДЄbed ends up directing various Greendale students in the film Chief Starr and the Raiders of the Galaxy, incorporating outtake audio and recycled footage of Chang. An investor, Maury, tells them that they can use Chang's footage to create an entirely different experience, and that a producer who did a similar task with Vin Diesel earned $500,000 in revenue. Frankie suggests that Greendale cash in on Chang's new-found fame by turning a cancelled cop drama Abed was filming, Police Justice, into a new movie. Chang has recently starred in a ham commercial, where his catchphrase has gone viral, leading him to move out to Los Angeles without notifying anyone else, much to the Save Greendale Committee's disgust.
