On Thursday night, NBC premiered its hilariously smart new sitcom Community, starring Joel McHale (E! Network’s Talk Soup) as Jeff Wingate, a lying lawyer whose license has been revoked. The show centers on the drama ensuing when Jeff heads back to school and in an effort to win a girl, poses as the board certified Spanish tutor for a study group of misfits at the fictitious Greendale Community College.

In this week’s pilot episode, there was a quick-witted dialogue between Jeff and British professor Duncan (played by John Oliver) about moral relativism.

Duncan: I’m asking you if you know the difference between right and wrong.

Jeff: I discovered at a very early age, that if I talk long enough, I can make anything right or wrong. So either I’m God, or truth is relative. and in either case, booyah.

Duncan: Oh interesting; it’s just the average person has a much harder time saying ‘booyah’ to moral relativism.

I look forward to seeing what this show has to offer in the coming weeks. Obviously, the spiritual content will likely be minimal, but the intelligent humor is sure to be a hit.
