To highlight the hypocrisy of blaming the previous generation for our unhappyness. This episode was about generations being awful to each other regardless of what that generation is. The message is, I guess, we are not as as progressive and tolerant as we want to to believe. We make the same mistakes our parents and grand parents made, just in different circumstances. Peirce is written in a very provocative way to highlight the group's negative behavior that we the viewer choose to ignore. It was great seeing your muted reaction to the Troy and Abed pantsing because it was exactly what the writers wanted. You were tricked into laughing or ignoring the clear violation of personal space by the two guys and then shocked by the same action involving Peirce and Shirley. It forces the discussion, why was one more inappropriate than the other?

Word, Imon, word!

Okay, smitty

Abed said it best when he said "Pierce's universally recognized flaws..." Everyone recognizes what his flaws are but him, and thats what makes him such an easy villain. The other thing is his age. Viewers can empathize with making mistakes and even being an occasional bad guy, but no one empathizes with being as ignorant as he is after as many years as he's had. It makes his flaws so much less forgivable

Not gonna lie, every time I rewatch this episode I can't help but getting pissed off whenever those annoying kids are on screen doing their idiotic routine. Still, I was genuinely surprised by just how much more they triggered you guys, like, here I thought that maybe I was being unreasonably bothered by a bunch of obnoxious teenagers in a sitcom but you two seemed pretty much ready to throwdown and beat the sh!t out of them. Haha. xD Personally, I think I'd be content with a single backhand slap for each one of them. lol

What about DUH-DOY

This is the episode I always skip because I cannot stand when someone utters “UHHH DUHHH!”

this is a really good take, agreed i think Pierce is just ignorant but not coming from a place of hate

So my question is why does Pierce get so much more hate than the others? Dan Harmon made a good point by calling him the scapegoat. This episode was made for a reason. So I believe they were trying to explain something...

I am half black and half persian grew up in a predominately diverse community and all we would do was laugh at each other and enjoy each others differences. I think for me Pierce is hilarious. Like of course the things he says can be seen as offensive but I dont believe he is coming from a bad place of hate. he just wasn't taught those things. I am sure spending time with this crew will help him understand a few things and open up his mind a bit more. I am happy they haven't kicked him out just yet. I am happy they see him as human and call him out when he is wrong but also still love him.

i dont have enough black friends to know for sure, but something tells me that its a lot harder for people of color to laugh at pierce. as a black american myself, i know ive always absolutely hated him and i found this episode and other episodes very poor reasoning of the other characters putting up with him. i find it really hard to believe any of them would be his friend or even tolerate him.

Everything that Peirce does occasionally is pretty bad though. If you see closely is that everyone in that group does Peirce things, but people are more forgetful and forgiving and no one changes as well like Peirce. Like Shirley thinking Troy couldn't swim and very oblivious on any other religion. (Abed is amazing)

In Peirce's mind: Troy and Abed pants each other and Shirley missed it, so I included her in it. And later on you knew that Shirley hates being left out and Peirce as well knows that so he included her in it, BUT it was inappropriate and they both know that everyone else does "young stuff" that they can never be apart of hence the inappropriate pantsing (only young people can do that).
