Dan is possibly better at making up a fake joke (is that redundant?) than trying to remember an actual one.
I imagine Dan is cutting the cake like Pierce in Community Season 2 Episode 10, "Mixology Certification."
Dan can't shake off the crutch this time, which leads to some truly unfortunate rhymes:
Ah yes, the Harmontown craps game of indeterminate legality (the side bets seem particularly sketchy). Jeff throws himself into this role with total abandon; it's such a unique moment on the show. I can't think of anything remotely similar.
We hear from Luke, a friend of Levi's (you might remember him from episodes #68 and 185). It takes about 2.5 seconds to fall 100 feet. Btw, the median lethal distance for falls is 48 feet (meaning about 50% of people who fall 48 feet will die). God, his rap is painful (few have reached this level of booing from the audience), but Jeff's riffed status updates make it bearable. Dan expertly turns the central point of Luke's criticism back on him -- it's a thrilling mental flex from Dan.
Luanna is a lovely audience member; she brings a really different energy to the table.
Some nice poetry advocacy from Jeff. It's well-aimed; you can really hear the vulnerability in Tim's voice as he reads, but it is some beautiful writing. Here are a few more of his poems.
Between Luke, Luanna, and Tim, this episode contains a wonderful little parade of humanity drawn directly from the audience. Few episodes have pulled this off so successfully.
I purchased A Sense of Community after listening to this episode the first time, but I haven't gotten around to reading any of the essays yet.
I'm not sure what Dan is doing at the end to garner such a response from the audience ... is he giving people money? In any case, there are some really strong and varied colors in the body of this episode, making it one of my favorites for a while.
