Giantpanther missed the point of this episode. It was a parody of Glee, not an homage. It was likening the Glee hysteria to the film "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978), where alien invaders replace human beings with duplicates that appear identical on the surface but are devoid of emotion or individuality. Most obvious reference being the "Scream" scene with Britta and Jeff.
This ep. also made a great point about the Glee vs. Kings of Leon controversy in which creator Ryan Murphy was being publicly critical of KOL's and other artist refusals of song usage and basically calling them bullies.
Jeff: Oh please, not liking Glee club doesn't make us bullies and implying that is reverse bully-ism!
I know, I know giant's comment/episode are 2 yrs old but, I felt the need to comment in case future Community watchers were interested. It's by far one of the wittier episodes of season 3 and I don't recommend "skipping this one" because beside the underlying Glee insults, the songs and jokes make this a gem.
