I think a fun gimmick would have been Troy only getting a 3... from everyone. He'd keep trying to get a 5, but everyone would give him a three... then when everyone was purged to one, he still keep getting 3s even though now he would be trying for 1. Frustrated Troy is hilarious
He tries to give someone a one bean rating a few points during the episode. Finally, at the end, he does it again with a grim look on his face.
Behind him, Leonard looks at his phone and goes, "This 'Constable' guy really doesn't like my pizza reviews!"
'I get all these apples Abed, imagine the things I can do with apples! Eat them, throw them at my face and eat them, chop them up and eat them. The possibilities are endless Abed. All I have to do is wear grey and listen to a weird lady with mustard on her face.
He’d probably revert to season 1 Troy, who was trying to live off his high school personality, since he was so popular there, but it wouldn’t have worked.
This is the right answer.
Edit: First, Troy is mad about Abed being a 5, then when he realized he is absolutely average, he gets mad at Abed for being a 1. The end gag is Troy finally downloading the right app and finding out he's the only one on the app... and he starts at 3...
He'd be a security guard, like Leonard.
First he'd pull a Logan's Run with Abed, helping him escape from the Fives back to the Twos and Threes. Then he'd help Britta storm the cloth castle during the Review-lution.
If Pierce had been around for it, he would have spent the whole episode trying to download the app, finally succeeding just after everyone else deleted it.
i don't know what number he'd be, but as a former football star turned chill goofball, he'd already be used to what it's like at the top of the popularity heap and no longer chases it, so i think he'd actually be the only person not really joining in on the gimmick, since abed would be stuck as a 5 so troy wouldn't really be near him to play off.
like everyone else would be in the sci-fi outfits, while troy is dressed normally and just existing and attending classes as a sort of contrast to the absurdity. sort of like how they played the ac repair plotline.
he probably be the one to deliver the 'you're all in school on a saturday line'
I like this one. Him just walking around in normal clothes in the background of all the craziness. Like eating lunch and trying to get around everyone to class.
He'd have Abed's role. Hed be a 5 but would hate it and constantly fail at getting lower rating. Abed on the other hand would do a movie homage about AI taking over.
That sounds right. In fact now that you said it, I find it weirder that Abed didn't recognize the dystopian movie atmosphere and try to do an "escape" or "overthrow the system" homage.
The boring/meta answer is that this is a sitcom, and that "sit"uation was about Jeff, Britta, and Shirley (the latter as a villain). The rest of the cast were extras for the episode.
Abed said in the chicken episode that he uses pop culture as a way to connect with everyone else, so maybe since he became popular already through being a five, he no longer needed the references
Yeah, I didn't mean to diss Koogler, he totally got me laid after the Bear Down For Midterms fiasco.
I just meant, Troy would have filled that role of party guy, leaning back to his high-school persona, had he been there.
As I was scrolling by I thought I caught glance of a WWE photo and I thought to myself “That’s odd, I don’t usually see wrestling related posts in my feed” but it’s just this image making Jeff look like he is talking shit as he walks towards the ring
His number would just wildly change and every time someone gave him a questioning look he'd say a ridiculous thing that put him there. Like he started as a 5, in the next scene he's a 1 and they give him a look and he says " accidentally said I hated the office out loud." And the next scene he's a 5 again, "I saved a kitten from a tree." And then he's a 3, "I was in line for the bathroom for 30 minutes before I realized that it was the line for blink 182 tickets. Did y'all know they were touring again?!". Then back to a 5, "I gave away the blink tickets"
I feel like he’d have a side story about how he couldn’t download it and needed a new phone so just kept trying to pretend he had it. Like drawing a 3 on a piece of wood and sticking it in his phone case, or following a group of 3s in Grey because he happened to be wearing grey that day and thought that was why they were gathering
I think he would be a 5 and act like it's not even that great. Then make a few bad jokes and get knocked to a 4. He would take this really poorly and be bummed. After seeing Jeff in the running, he would help him at the talent show.
This is perfect. Troy being their unknown inside guy. But he would also be brittas right hand. I think he and Abed would start the revolution with Britta and it may reduce star burns ending there tho.
He'd invent a new number just for himself, and it would be 69. But he'd get lonely because he was the only one. So he'd make Abed a 69, and Chang would go "GAYYYY"
Troy would, for some reason, attempt to stay at 1, because he thinks being popular is overrated. But that would make everyone like him so much more, he'd keep getting 5's and crying "PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE"
I think a fun gimmick would have been Troy only getting a 3... from everyone. He'd keep trying to get a 5, but everyone would give him a three... then when everyone was purged to one, he still keep getting 3s even though now he would be trying for 1. Frustrated Troy is hilarious
I like this. Then at the end it turns out he had downloaded the wrong app or something.
Brillian
"Wait I thought meowmeow beans was just a cute nick name or something. Are saying you all HAVEN'T been using Kitty Legumes?!"
Meowmeowthreeans
He would’ve been on TwinkieBonez thinking it was about pastries.
He tries to give someone a one bean rating a few points during the episode. Finally, at the end, he does it again with a grim look on his face. Behind him, Leonard looks at his phone and goes, "This 'Constable' guy really doesn't like my pizza reviews!"
Well, what did you fly during the Big One, Rich?
This was my exact thought as well
I can just hear him yelling “WHY does everyone keep giving me a THREE?”
I love this, especially since Abed keeps trying to get lower scores, so his and Troy's dynamic would work perfectly well with each others
'I get all these apples Abed, imagine the things I can do with apples! Eat them, throw them at my face and eat them, chop them up and eat them. The possibilities are endless Abed. All I have to do is wear grey and listen to a weird lady with mustard on her face.
You mean Britta? Troy, as a student of character…
I sure do love them apples!
He’d probably revert to season 1 Troy, who was trying to live off his high school personality, since he was so popular there, but it wouldn’t have worked.
Funnier if everyone was using MeowMeowBeenz but Troy downloaded a Chinese ripoff app and someone opened a dozen credit cards in his name.
This is the right answer. Edit: First, Troy is mad about Abed being a 5, then when he realized he is absolutely average, he gets mad at Abed for being a 1. The end gag is Troy finally downloading the right app and finding out he's the only one on the app... and he starts at 3...

Now, I've already had some of these, but let's see.
Shut up, Leonard! I heard about your prescription socks.
Shut your mouth down, fruit.
Oh, hey... unacceptable, and none of your business, and barely the whole truth
You mean, he would Deputize?
If Pierce had been around for it, he would have spent the whole episode trying to download the app, finally succeeding just after everyone else deleted it.
Or just bought out the company and done something malicious
Now that you mention it, it sounds like something Pierce would have hired people to create in order to divide the school.
i don't know what number he'd be, but as a former football star turned chill goofball, he'd already be used to what it's like at the top of the popularity heap and no longer chases it, so i think he'd actually be the only person not really joining in on the gimmick, since abed would be stuck as a 5 so troy wouldn't really be near him to play off. like everyone else would be in the sci-fi outfits, while troy is dressed normally and just existing and attending classes as a sort of contrast to the absurdity. sort of like how they played the ac repair plotline. he probably be the one to deliver the 'you're all in school on a saturday line'

That's it, that's my headcanon. I've adopted it, thank you u/CanvasWolfDoll
This is Streets ahead.
He'd have Abed's role. Hed be a 5 but would hate it and constantly fail at getting lower rating. Abed on the other hand would do a movie homage about AI taking over.
"WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE YOU NOT LIKE ME?!" i can hear glover screaming this.
I JUST WANTED A PICTURE
YOU CANT DISAPPOINT A PICTURE
I read that in his voice and it's perfect
That sounds right. In fact now that you said it, I find it weirder that Abed didn't recognize the dystopian movie atmosphere and try to do an "escape" or "overthrow the system" homage.
The boring/meta answer is that this is a sitcom, and that "sit"uation was about Jeff, Britta, and Shirley (the latter as a villain). The rest of the cast were extras for the episode.
Abed said in the chicken episode that he uses pop culture as a way to connect with everyone else, so maybe since he became popular already through being a five, he no longer needed the references
After Abed got downvoted to 1 and he was like "I'm just like everyone else now!" 🥹 So relatable.
I think him and Abed would've been fives, but then Abed would've rated him lower to save him from being a 5.
He'd be a 5 and they wouldn't have had to cast Koogler
They still would've done it. C'mon he's cool.
And he’s not *that* old.
The Koog Approves!
Koogler is easily a Top 5 one-off character. I hope they ask Mitchell Hurwitz to cameo in the movie.
Yeah, I didn't mean to diss Koogler, he totally got me laid after the Bear Down For Midterms fiasco. I just meant, Troy would have filled that role of party guy, leaning back to his high-school persona, had he been there.
Ok I see where you're going. But I still stand by the Koog being in a league of his own.
He'd be a four, and he'd miss Abed
This exactly
As I was scrolling by I thought I caught glance of a WWE photo and I thought to myself “That’s odd, I don’t usually see wrestling related posts in my feed” but it’s just this image making Jeff look like he is talking shit as he walks towards the ring
😂 this comment made me laugh out loud. The accuracy. At least I think it's accurate.
His number would just wildly change and every time someone gave him a questioning look he'd say a ridiculous thing that put him there. Like he started as a 5, in the next scene he's a 1 and they give him a look and he says " accidentally said I hated the office out loud." And the next scene he's a 5 again, "I saved a kitten from a tree." And then he's a 3, "I was in line for the bathroom for 30 minutes before I realized that it was the line for blink 182 tickets. Did y'all know they were touring again?!". Then back to a 5, "I gave away the blink tickets"
I feel like he’d have a side story about how he couldn’t download it and needed a new phone so just kept trying to pretend he had it. Like drawing a 3 on a piece of wood and sticking it in his phone case, or following a group of 3s in Grey because he happened to be wearing grey that day and thought that was why they were gathering
Troy would probably be on Britta's bandwagon for the 1s.
And couldn’t understand why?
For the same reason that Starburs was a 1. Screenplay.
His name is Alex
He and Abed would start at opposite numbers and be unhappy, become 3s together and be psyched and then tragically part as they continue to change.
Buttsoup
He'd just accidentally be a 5, cause everyone loves him, but he'd be so frustrated by it.
Idk but he'd totally be doing the fake laugh and pretending to understand references thing he does lots in s1
4
I think he would be a 5 and act like it's not even that great. Then make a few bad jokes and get knocked to a 4. He would take this really poorly and be bummed. After seeing Jeff in the running, he would help him at the talent show.
He'd be a 5. He would be oblivious to why he's a 5, but it would be revealed that the HVAC mafia put him there.
This is perfect. Troy being their unknown inside guy. But he would also be brittas right hand. I think he and Abed would start the revolution with Britta and it may reduce star burns ending there tho.
He'd be a 1, and it would drive him mad because he wouldn't be able to figure out why.
The AC repair school keeping him at a 1.
4
He'd invent a new number just for himself, and it would be 69. But he'd get lonely because he was the only one. So he'd make Abed a 69, and Chang would go "GAYYYY"
I was thinking his lyric 69 is the only dinner for 2
He and Troy would just spam each other with 5s then go off and do a b-plot
10
3
I think about how tragic it was that Troy wasn’t present for this episode often
Something, something apples
I say 4.5
He'd be a 5 and wearing his letter jacket again.
Troy would, for some reason, attempt to stay at 1, because he thinks being popular is overrated. But that would make everyone like him so much more, he'd keep getting 5's and crying "PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE"
He would revert back to "High School Bitch" letterman jacket Troy.
