"Anthropology 101" is the second season premiere of the American television series ''Community''. It was originally broadcast on September 23, 2010 on NBC. In the episode, the study group attend their first series of classes in Anthropology 101, the course which they had decided to take together for the new semester. The episode also picks up on the storyline that began in the season one finale involving a love triangle between Jeff, Britta and Annie. Jeff and Britta begin what is seemingly a passionate relationship, but the revelation that Jeff got involved with Annie at the end of the previous year disgusts the group. Each member begins taking out their frustrations on each other. With the group on the verge of breaking up, it's up to Jeff to bring them to reconciliation. The episode was written by Chris McKenna and directed by Joe Russo. It received positive critical reviews. ==Plot== It's the first day of classes in the new school year. Britta (Gillian Jacobs) returns from summer still embarrassed after she confessed her love for Jeff (Joel McHale) in public at the end of the previous semester only for him to walk out on her. Troy (Donald Glover) has been staying with Pierce (Chevy Chase) since the beginning of summer and has been posting offensive comments made by Pierce on a Twitter account, @oldwhitemansays, which is a hit among other students. The group meet up in the library, where Britta confesses to them that she only "opened her heart" to Jeff to get one over his ex-girlfriend. However, she soon becomes popular with the female community at Greendale, for being "fearless", while Jeff becomes the villain. Meanwhile, Annie continues to flirt with Jeff, following their kiss at the end of last year. Jeff outright rejects her advances, calling the kiss a mistake and implies the age difference between the two of them is troubling for him. The group go for the first lesson in Anthropology 101, where they find Chang (Ken Jeong) also enrolled. Their teacher is Professor June Bauer (Betty White), an eccentric old woman who shoots Starburns' (Dino Stamatopoulos) face with a blowgun and drinks her own urine. The class' first assignment is to explain which among nine tools is the most important to humanity's survival. After an encounter in the cafeteria where Britta, cheered on by everyone else, humiliates him, Jeff decides to inflict the same dilemma on Britta. In Anthropology class, he tells Britta he loves her. Much to his surprise, Britta responds positively, which delights everyone except Annie. They then begin outlandish public displays of affection, trying to upstage each other at every opportunity. They even get engaged at the behest of Abed (Danny Pudi), who is disappointed at the lack of drama in the episode and is trying to spice things up. He even prepares to stage a wedding with a band and a George Clooney impersonator to help should Jeff have cold feet. Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown), who is overjoyed that Jeff and Britta are finally "on the right track," then reveals to everyone that Jeff and Britta had sex in the library room during the paintball game last year ("Modern Warfare"). Annie breaks into a rage, punching Jeff in the nose and then revealing that Jeff kissed her after sleeping with Britta. The group then erupts with anger at Jeff. Britta finally relents in her game with Jeff and admits she never loved him, which sends him into jubilation. She then admonishes Annie over flirting with men she was previously with (Vaughn, then Jeff). Jeff reveals to Pierce that Troy has been posting his comments to Twitter, which annoys Pierce. Abed, upset at all the drama, "cancels" the episode and walks out. Jeff then knocks him for not being able to tell life from TV. Abed's rebuttal consists of him making it clear he is able to differentiate life from TV, and enjoys TV because it is predictable and has likable lead characters. Reality, he says, is the opposite: it is unpredictable, and you have characters like Jeff instead. This silences the group and they each leave. In the next Anthropology class, Jeff answers Professor Bauer's question by saying that the most important tool is respect, and that the study group needs each other and should respect each other more. In response to this, Senor Chang shouts "Ha, gay!" Bauer then announces the correct answer – combining all nine tools to form a deadly weapon. She attacks Jeff with the weapon, quipping "use respect to defend yourself." Jeff is strangled by the weapon until he blacks out. He wakes up in a hospital surrounded by the rest of the study group and they reconcile. Troy promises to close the Twitter account, though Pierce argues that the fact the account had 600,000 followers means there is money to be made there. Bauer is suspended after the incident. Chang shows up and asks if he can join the study group, but they ask for more time to think it over. In the final shot, Chang is shown arguing back and forth with himself in the study room, showcasing his insanity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthropology 101」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
