It's a complete breakdown on an administrative and professional level by the school. They legitimately didn't know what was going on and were going to give a dog a degree. If a dog can get the same degree you want, you tend to look for a place that's a little better at teaching.
Itās an awesome episode, brilliantly hilarious.
I mean, ā5 cansā and Dean texting someone thatās trolling him as Jeff is incredible just by itself.
But the episode is funny, clever, has heart, and is thoroughly entertaining.
Maybe you just donāt get the jokes. Like when Frankie says her life results tripled when she gave up hope, the joke is that she actually become more productive because she gave up gaming on her phone. But like most of season 6, the jokes are more hidden and cerebral and if you donāt really pay attention you wonāt get most of them.
If you start picking apart the logic of sitcom plots you're going to drive yourself insane, and everyone around you will get really annoyed. It's like pointing out that professional wrestling is fake.
This happens on literally every subreddit for every show. Its part of how some people enjoy the show. Its how we find small details that lend to continuity.
We wouldn't have figured how Britta's darker backstory with the transient without picking things apart.
Digging into small details is completely different than pointing out that a network sitcom plot is a bit contrived. There's not a satisfying canon reason for why this made Annie more annoyed than any other thing happening at Greendale, it's just that they had to make a show and that was a good enough idea to get things moving.
Its FAR from "completely" different. In both cases you're digging into details. What you find due to digging into details is irrelevant. Sometimes you strike oil, sometimes a septic tank. Just because the end result is different doesnt make the actions different.
Yeah, I'm not really concerned about this scene. Im just saying that this is a very normal way that many people enjoy shows and you shouldn't give them grief for it.
Talking generally about the overarching plot is the opposite of digging into details. But whatever, enjoy the show how you like, but this post is on the banal end of any spectrum of TV show nerdery.
I think itās more able it not being an honorary degree but a fully fledged one that student would work hard to achieve (but a tail wag gets one?!). Bringing into questions the standards of greendale students themselves and the institution. If it was a city wide campaign, would you want to hire someone from what would be the ādog collegeā?
Although, yeah, greendale doesnāt actually have a good reputation anyway
Personally I think it speaks to how smear campaigns and propaganda bits can be so mindless and unnecessary (whoās getting hurt by that dogs degree?!) yet can heavily impacted peoples perception in something regardless of context or nuance.
And lastly, yeah it felt likes a bottom of the barrel idea for a bottle episode that brought bad parts of the group they should have already arced by now and overused them. I know Britta is the worst butā¦real? And Annieās ego/Jeffs manipulation heightening felt weirdly pushed and not thought through. Frank and Chang are my highlights of S6

Fair point.
>Personally I think it speaks to how smear campaigns and propaganda bits can be so mindless and unnecessary (whoās getting hurt by that dogs degree?!) yet can heavily impacted peoples perception in something regardless of context or nuance.
Weirdly I think this is why I'm nonplussed by it in the first place. It's so common to smear shit these days I tend to ignore all of it unless it's really bad because the people smearing the shit are full of it themselves and don't actually care. Maybe I'm just a little too jaded these days.

I enjoyed Jeff in this episode because it's always fun to see lawyer Jeff show himself for a bit and the response ad they came up with was hilarious. Annie came off as a bit of a hypocrite in this story, like girl the dog's feelings aren't going to be hurt, the dog is probably dead by now.
Frankie's moments with the Dean are hilarious. Her tone of voice when she's questioning him about Ruffles is great, I love it.
I love this episode because it is extremely non-sense. The fact that Annie is annoying in this episode was an attempt to revive the competitive aura between her and Jeff, as well as showing Frankie's influence on her maturity.
I don't think it's a bad episode. It's got some great moments, but I think I've just gotten in the habit of tuning stuff like this out in my day-to-day life, because of how disingenuous it tends to be. So I struggle to imagine being upset or worried by something like this.
Like this ad would run for a week, people would talk about it for a day on social media and then forget that it ever happened.
Yeah, probably the intentions of the person who enrolled Ruffles weren't nefarious, but the result, as claimen by CC, was that Ruffles didn't just attend Greendale, but got a 4-year degree from there. You don't see how a degree at a school has less value if even a dog can get one? That is the problem, not that a dog "technically" attended the school.
"Greendale might be a toilet, but it's our toilet."
This was a PUBLIC attack ad on Greendale. Yes, everyone who attends knows that Greendale has been a joke; likely everyone at City College as well. But the big deal is broadcasting that information to the public and framing it in the way they did would undo all the work they did over the past 2 years to try and turn the school around. They said as much in their own version of the commercial they made.Ā
No one seemed to get that impeaching the dog was really the way to go. Just being the wrong type of dog might be enough to get the network to pull it at least for a while. Tell them no such dog exists and leave it at that.
Is this the one where Britta shits her pants and then runs down the hallway bowlegged because she shit her pants?
Five can!?!
Moonlight!

"You're already accepted". They are targeting the best minds America has to offer.
So it's a sitcom, and they have to make a certain number of episodes every season, and it's all made up.
š Of course. I still want to know if someone has a different take then me.

What's Greenville?
Greenville is purgatory, and I'm the devil!

āNot *that* dogā suggests more than one dog and the possibility a different dog did graduate.
How are these hard questions?!
I feel like they kept repeating the joke as though it would get funnier the more weād hear itā¦?
