Leonard was at Greendale before it existed! (Inconsistency)

Easter-Egg/Trivia

Posting this because I was binging through the seasons, as we all do, and this really popped out for me and I haven't seen anyone talk about it (maybe coz its a small detail) but

In S4E11 Basic Human Anatomy, when the Dean pull's Leonard's file to see his grades, he says "Back in 1968 Leonard got an A in Rotory Phone Maintenence, since then he has been taking every other class pass-fail"

In S4E13 Advanced Introduction to Finality, we see that Greendale was actually established in 1974.

Just thought y'all would want to know.

That’s exactly what someone released from Greendale Asylum would say.

Ah, yes, this fantastical community college where everything that happens is unbelievably ridiculous and it all revolves around you as a group.

Leonard has always been there, just like Grady at the Overlook Hotel.

If you want a real inconsistency. In Pierce death lie detector episode. Annie says she dosed the study group while prepping for the anthropology final. But at the end of that semester Duncan was their professor and he didn’t even plan a final.

Well they had to retake the Spanish final when Chang was found to be a fraud. I could see two situations happening, either they retook the class off screen after Duncan left Greendale or they took a different anthropology class off screen.

I mean I agree, but this is Annie we’re talking about. I can honestly see her believing any teacher is generally competent enough to have a final exam ready to go.

Annie on the final exam episode says "Do you think everyone should get As? That seems a little unfair to the people that actually studied" so, at the very least, she studied for it.

More like "That seems a little unfair to the people that drugged their study group."

PsychoMouse

And when you have such an extremely loose cannon like Duncan. Who’s to say if he’d give them a proper final exam or just some random bullshit. She probably wanted to cover every route possible.

Let’s not forget. They had CHANG as a teacher.

JuanRiveara

25d

Half the questions would probably be about Duncan himself

PsychoMouse

That’s what I’m saying. So as fucked up as it was for Annie to drug the study group. If you look at it logically. It makes sense. Doesn’t make it okay, by any means. But it does. Make sense

I want to remind Professor Whitman's class. She couldn't even sieze the day. This is the reason I think she was worried about the "unorthodox final". It was a weird class for her even though it was blow out, she didnt know what to expect and it stressed her. She probably studied like crazy for a class that everybody gets an A anyway

While Richard Erdman was not in the Little Rascals, he did star in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

We still don't know the entire school's history, so there's wiggle room for an explanation if you need one.

Greendale Computery College was founded in 1974 yes, but that doesn't mean Borchert built the school out of nothing. He could have very likely taken over a struggling trade school, perhaps an AC repair school that dabbled in other technology such as rotary phone maintenance?

He used the GI bill from Korea (North Korea one). Then he majored in rotary phone maintenance.

Why are people always asking “why is this thing from season 4 inconsistent with the rest of the show” when there is an obvious and clear answer?

radutzan

No such thing as bad press!
