Troy and Abed For TV's Most Dynamic Duo

Troy and Abed are the most dynamic duo on television, but I'm definitely not shocked that they're currently behind in the poll. Only three million people are watching the show each Thursday, and NBC recently Britta'd its midseason schedule by somehow NOT including this sitcom on it.

Because there are still a number of you out there who haven't witnessed the genius of Community, and specifically this fine pair, I'm here to help.

When the series first started, Danny Pudi's Abed was a bit of a budding star, while Donald Glover's Troy lurked in the background waiting for his time to shine. As the second season came into development, the two characters began to hang out more, became fast friends and the rest is hilarious history.

Troy Barnes has become one of the funniest characters on television, and while Abed has dipped a bit since his novelty factor wore out, he still has his moments... most of which come when these two are together.

This is Troy and Abed's first Poolie nomination as a team, and first win for the best buds on television.  Abed Nadir has one other nomination, placing third for best supporting character in 2010, while Troy Barnes has been nominated for that same award this season.

While I have fallen out of love with Abed this season, I have fallen in love with both Troy and the combination of these two.  There may not have been a better moment this year than when during the paintball war, Troy came out of the trash can with guns 'a blazing and found the time to put on a winning smile and shout out "Abed! I thought you were dead!"

and the Poolie goes to...
1. Leon Black
(Curb Your Enthusiasm)
32 points (2nd)

In what was an acclaimed eighth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, filled with plenty of guest star's from Seinfeld, Leon Black might have been the best thing about the show for the second year in a row. It has been his ability to be completely oblivious that continues to make me crack up appearance after appearance.

The Black family wormed their way into Larry's life in season six and were still kicking around to start season seven before LD got Loretta to hit the road by being a complete jerk. That was no problem for Leon though. His sister and the rest of his family left LD, but Leon was perfectly comfortable where he was. When LD assumed he would follow Loretta's move and move out, Leon instead decided to "go upstairs and eat this f*ckin' chinese food...in his room."

You see he's completely oblivious. Not only does he not realize what you're supposed to do in given life situations like previously stated, but he also has no idea what Seinfeld is. His complete lack of knowledge while watching Jerry and Julia rehearse for the reunion was classic. He was cracking up like he had never seen the show before; rightfully so because he hadn't. This moment was summed up perfectly when he saw Newman and laughed at how short and fat he was.

The fact of the matter is that Leon Black does what he wants when he wants, and he does it hilariously. I know LD is the cornerstone of this show, but I can't imagine it without this year's winner of the Arthur Spooner Award.
