Anthropology 101
"Anthropology 101" is the second season premiere of the American sitcom Community. It was originally broadcast on September 23, 2010 on NBC to a live audience of 5 million viewers.
In the episode, the study group attends their first series of classes in Anthropology 101, the course they had decided to take together in the new semester. The episode also picks up on the storyline that began in the season one finale involving the love triangle of Jeff, Britta, and Annie. Jeff and Britta begin a seemingly-passionate relationship, but the revelation that Jeff got involved with Annie at the end of the previous year disgusts the group. The members start to take out their frustrations on one another. The group is on the verge of breaking up, and Jeff must bring them to reconciliation.
The episode was written by Chris McKenna and directed by Joe Russo. It received positive critical reviews.
As the new school year starts, Britta (Gillian Jacobs) avoids other students, still embarrassed after she publicly declared her love for Jeff (Joel McHale) at the end of the previous semester, while Troy (Donald Glover) posts Pierce's (Chevy Chase) offensive comments on Twitter without his knowledge. The study group meets in the library, where Britta apologizes for her declaration. However, she soon realizes her actions have made her popular, while Jeff is cast as the villain for walking out on her. Annie (Alison Brie) flirts with Jeff due to their kiss at the end of the semester, but Jeff rejects her advances, calling the kiss a mistake.
The group attends their first anthropology class, where they find Chang (Ken Jeong). Jeff thinks Chang wants to join the group, which Chang denies. The professor, June Bauer (Betty White), presents the first assignment: explaining which one of nine tools is most important to humanity's survival.
Jeff, feeling humiliated, decides to get even with Britta by publicly proclaiming his love for her; due to the setting, she reciprocates. They attempt to upstage each other with outlandish displays of affection. Seeking more excitement, Abed (Danny Pudi) urges the two to get engaged, which they do. Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) lets slip that Jeff and Britta had sex during the paintball game last year. Furious, Annie punches Jeff and reveals that he kissed her. The group erupts with anger at Jeff; he points out he kept everything secret, unlike Britta's public declaration. Britta admits that she never loved Jeff and chides Annie. When Troy shames Jeff, Jeff calls out Troy's Twitter activities, and Pierce angrily confronts Troy. Abed, upset by the drama, "cancels" the group. Jeff knocks Abed for being unable to tell life from television; Abed explains that he knows the difference, saying television has "likable leading men," where in reality, the group has Jeff.
Back in class, the group members distance themselves from one another. To help bring them together, Jeff argues that the answer to Professor Bauer's question is actually respect and that they need to respect one another more. Bauer reveals the correct answer: combining the nine tools into a deadly weapon. She attacks Jeff with her weapon until he blacks out. He wakes up surrounded by the rest of the study group, and they reconcile. Troy promises to close the Twitter account. Chang shows up and asks to join the group, and they agree to consider it.
"Anthropology 101" was written by Chris McKenna, his third writing credit of the show. It was directed by Joe Russo, his ninth directing credit of the series. Due to the large number of storylines involved, coupled with the introduction of a high-profile guest star, the episode took a month to break.
