“The perfect beginning for my first day of billiards class.”

I don’t care! Joel McHale makes Broncos-colored striped boxer-briefs look hot!

“America’s Coolest Sport”

Check out the 17th episode of the first season of Community, a quirky new sitcom about a diverse group of community college students who get together for Spanish class study group. I’ve seen a few episodes and find it pretty entertaining. I do appreciate that there’s no laugh-track. I’ll laugh when I want to!

In this episode, Jeff Winger played by Talk Soup’s Joel McHale takes a billiards class for p.e. credit and shows off his “moves” (and a little more). Though the pool is worse than Poolhall Junkies (2002) and almost as bad as Shooting Gallery (2005), the plot is silly and it did make me smile a few times. I wouldn’t mind helping Joel out with his rail bridge though.

I do love how they have the pool tables right in the middle of the fitness center. That’s awesome!

Some of my favorite quotes from this episode:

“Suit up and see you all back on the felt at 5.”
“You’re implying I’m some sort of pool poser because I don’t wanna wear a bathing suit?”
“Why aren’t you in billiards class?” “Cause I don’t look cool in shorts!”
“Now, do you wanna talk about clothes, like a girl? Or, use tapered sticks to hit balls around a cushioned table, like a man?”

And my most favorite…

“I’m just havin’ a good time because I love playin’ pool.”
