Community - Season 3, Episode 14 - "Pillows and Blankets"


In 2012, Greendale Community College was the site of the largest and longest pillow fight in community college history.
It shaped and scarred the landscape of their campus and forever changed the lives of those involved.
A health care administration student, who turned the storage room into a sanctuary for soldiers with broken glasses and lightly grazed testicles.
A high school dropout and amateur photographer whose borrowed camera would capture some of the war's blurriest, most poorly framed moments.
A disgraced former lawyer whose words would inspire tens of students to take up pillows and fight, most likely to avoid an upcoming test.
A loving wife and mother who would prove to be as skilled at kicking asses as she was at wiping them.
The dried-up heir to a moist towelette empire, who would prove to be the dried-up heir to a moist towelette empire.
The sensitive high school quarterback who became commander in chief of his own army.
He would later say of the war, "it was awesome, but also, it wasn't.”
And his socially dysfunctional best friend turned bitter rival, an uncompromising tactical mastermind feared by all yet unable to pay parking tickets or know left from right without mouthing the pledge of allegiance.
The rift in their friendship would carry their school into a conflict lasting days, costing hundreds of dollars and resulting in over 12 transfers.


Troy Barnes and Abed Nadir.
Friends so close, they once graced the cover of Friends Weekly, a pretend magazine of their own design.
Earlier that day, they begin construction on a fort made of pillows.
Its name New Fluffytown.
Its goal to be a newer, fluffier town than Fluffytown, their blanket fort from the previous year. When an opportunity arises for a world record, it creates a rift.
Troy wants to go for the record using blankets for rapid expansion.
Abed insists on pillows, declaring world records to be dumb.
Troy declares the Declaration Lame, stating that thinking records are dumb is stupid.
He secedes from New Fluffytown and begins constructing Blanketsburg on the other side of the campus.
Abed renames his fort Pillowtown for the sake of conceptual symmetry.
Both forts expand until both are in each other's way.
