The main character of a Charles Dickens romance. I think there was a movie in the early aughts.
The hot librarian wasn't in this episode; IMDB is all fucked up for Community. I don't think it lists her as being in the episode she is actually in. Also, she was in House and Supernatural!

It's a pop-culture thing that is definitely more relevant to the 25-39 viewer age range. This episode triggered a debate on the homefront as to which persona of Mr Burton is more relevant, Mr Host of Reading Rainbow or MR That Guy With the Headband on his Face from Star Trek.
As you can tell, opinions on this were divided. haha.
But yeah, I actually thought it was a huge and hysterical guest star.
I feel like this episode would be funnier if I had any idea who LaVar Burton was.
Oh thank God. CK's comment made my soul die. Then *BAM* Cervetus comes in with soul CPR.
Thank you Cervetus.
And you, CK ... I'm keeping an eye on you.

I just thought of another continuity thing: in episode five, when Pierce was being bad influenced by Leonard and his posse, we find out that Jeff is Pierce's emergency contact, and he lists Britta as well. In this episode, they were the first at the hospital, and the ones to tell the others.

Wouldn't Abed have needed to be first?

True! I'm guessing he arranged for his contacts to not be... contacted right away. He was being a manipulative dick and planned all of this, so I wouldn't be surprised if he had already been hospitalized for a few days before the group showed up.

laughed once at the green zone thing.
that episode just didnt do it for me. also hated the scenes of troy freaking out, although that might have been because of the doc cam.\\

It just occured to my why Pierce didn't bequeath to Abed. He still thinks Abed is mentally handicapped, and either wouldn't understand any mindgames, or just plainly isn't quite a big enough dick to play mindgames on someone like that.

He also confided to Abed that he wasn't really dying and that this entire thing was for revenge, so...
I feel like this episode would be funnier if I had any idea who LaVar Burton was.
that's debatable. he's just a guy who was on shows. it's basically a reference for a joke which ehh.
the way troy responds though is universal as long as you know it's someone relatively famous that he apparently looks up to.
so still funny but I don't think you're missing the humor personally
Well, I think LaVar specifically fits into a category of "relatively famous, but not hugely so, but with a highly devoted fanbase." Partly because of the nature of what he did on Reading Rainbow...it's not really that high-profile of a gig, but at the same time it sears him into the memory of any kid that watched it.

I'm not sure if they know it was an actual breakdown. I'm not sure if we know it was an actual breakdown. He could have been really bummed about his mom and decided to try and work through his feelings the only way he knew how. By pretending life was a christmas special.

Who the fuck is Nicholas Nickelby?
In case this is an actual question:
Protagonist of a Dickens novel.
Made a movie about a decade back. Decent viewing.
Spent my childhood with the novel on my parent's shelves, where I assumed it was about vampire hunting for some reason.
I also thought Hoosiers was about killer shoes for years.
I had the stupidest nightmares.

just take a look
And yes, I realize the irony of my asking this directly after a series of mentions of Reading Rainbow. :B

No idea.
Nickleby is emotional and at times violent.
Not very like Abed. Unless it's being ironic.
Why I fear the ocean.
it's that guy
the guy from Star Trek, with the thing on his face.
She didn't. Troy said she kept mentioning him. Abed agreed. She never compared anyone to Nicholas Nickelby she just talked about the character a lot.

The problem is you, friend.
I do like how upset he seemed to get when Annie asked if her tiara had "Holocaust diamonds" on it.
I actually know LeVar Burton (my mom was best friends with him in college) and this is pretty accurate.

heh heh heh ... ass burgers.

At the same time, it was amusing how he was kind of a dick to Britta.
Like, LaVar don't need your two-hundred-seventy-one dollars, man. What the fuck?

No, him not taking her money didn't make him a dick. His reaction while not taking her money made him kind of a dick.
He can be messed with, but you have no way of knowing how to do it, or what the results will be.
I mean, remember the Duncan principle?
