Plot
Dean Pelton (Jim Rash) invites two smartphone app designers to Greendale to beta test their new social networking Application, MeowMeowBeenz, where users rate each social interaction on a scale from 1 to 5 MeowMeowBeenz. What starts as a fun social interaction of ranking classmates turns into an all-out class war as Greendale students compete for the highest score. Jeff (Joel McHale) and Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) battle for supremacy, while Britta (Gillian Jacobs) rails against the very concept. Meanwhile, Professor Hickey (Jonathan Banks), after initially rejecting the concept of the app, he feigns his birthday in order to draw sympathy to reach 5 MeowMeowBeenz. Danny Pudi, Alison Brie and Ken Jeong also star.[1]
