As a Community episode, I don’t really like “Basic Lupine
Urology.” This episode contains no
character growth, no interesting relationship dilemmas; it is a satire of Law
and Order. Plain and simple. That being said, I loved it. Law and Order is one of those shows that I
never watch religiously, but I love it. If
I see Law and Order on the TV guide those images are going to bless my television
whether I’m paying attention or having them play in the background. So, naturally, a Law and Order episode of
Community is highly enjoyable for me.
The tone was spot on, creating the atmosphere of L&O
with the goofiness of Community. I
normally judge the effectiveness of a comedy by how much I laugh out loud, keep
in mind I normally watch these episodes by myself so getting me to laugh is
more difficult, and this episode had me cracking up. The character choices were spot on; Troy and
Abed as the weary detectives, Annie and Jeff as the lawyers with the rest of
the cast supporting them. That is genius. The topper for me was Star-Burns stealing
beakers from the school’s lab for his personal meth lab. That was great because I always suspected it
from him.
If you are looking for a classic Community episode that
will explore friendships and humanity look somewhere else, but if you want a
hilarious stomp through Law and Order watch this episode.
