Glee Episode 21 Recap – "Funk" Episode

Everyone at Glee is in a funk this week when Vocal Adrenaline vandalizes their choir room. To add insult to injury, Jesse announces he’s going back to Vocal Adrenaline with a performance of Another One Bites The Dust. Is he really allowed to just hop back and forth between schools like that? Sheesh. Was his sole reasoning for doing so just to unite Rachel with Shelby? Kind of a lot just for a trophy. Will hops on the depression train when he finalizes his divorce with Teri and goes looking for some good weed from the old Glee coach. He snaps out of it when he realizes revenge is a better option and encourages the group to get funky instead.


Finn and Puck ignore this and choose to act out their revenge in the form of slashing the tires of all of Vocal Adrenaline. I guess because that is actually a crime, only Puck and Finn get in trouble and Vocal Adrenaline get off without even a warning. Too bad guys, I was on your side. They promise to get jobs to help pay for the damage and end up working with Will’s ex wife at Sheets N Things. Watching Puck fold a towel is really amusing me. They then randomly burst into song in the middle of the store singing Loser because let’s face it, that’s what they feel like at this point. Finn starts to bond with Teri and she agrees to help him get his funk back. I hope that’s not code for an affair because that would be soooo wrong.



Quinn decides that she too would like to get funky. (I am so sick of myself and everyone in this episode constantly repeating the word Funk at this point.) Mercedes openly scoffs at the idea of Quinn even trying. No one really says anything, even when Quinn calls her out on her reverse racism. I think really the only issue is that Mercedes was hurting Quinn’s already emotional feelings and she should have apologized but whatever. Quinn gets her chance to show her funky side and puts on the most bizarre performance I think to ever grace this show. She sings A Man's World with a large group of very pregnant dancers behind her. They even have some crazy lamaze dance moves. It’s really strange and Mercedes’ face says it all. At the end of it all, Quinn apologizes to Mercedes (?) and then Mercedes invites her to move in with her. Well, that was out of nowhere. Wouldn’t it be easier to be with the father?


Will gets inspired to finally get a little revenge on Sue. I realize she deserves it after all the crap she’s done but when it comes to heartbreak, I think Will goes too far. He decides to seduce Sue and convince her she has a crush on him. He basically gives her a lapdance while showing off his ass and singing Tell Me Something Good. Who could resist that charm? Ahem. For whatever reason, it works and Sue admits she has feelings for Will after he showers her with gifts and says really gross pick up lines like "Know what Wednesday is? Hump day." Blech! Sue eagerly shows up for her date with Will and she even dressed up for the occasion. Pearls with her track suit! But Will of course stands her up and releases the rage inside her. Giving her a taste of her own medicine obviously isn’t going to work Will. Sue can’t be held down.

Joining the Douche parade unfortunately for me and Rachel, is Jesse. Jesse lures a hopeful Rachel into the parking lot who obviously just wants to be with him again. Before her smile gets any bigger while she approaches him, the rest of Vocal Adrenaline gang up on her and throw eggs at her. What the hell?? This is horrible and straight out of Never Been Kissed. As Rachel’s heart continues to break, Jesse walks up to her, looks her in the eyes and smashes and egg on her head. What the hell? What’s his problem? Didn’t he admit like..last week that he had feelings for Rachel? Is he really just doing this for a trophy? I feel so bad for her. Jesse is making it almost impossible to redeem himself in the future.



The guys in the group are furious and vow to get revenge against Vocal Adrenaline. It's so nice seeing the guys actually stand up for Rachel for once. Will stops them before they can kick Jesse’s ass and encourages them to fight back with song. Sigh. I like Puck’s idea better. They end with a funky group number proving to Vocal Adrenaline that they do indeed have a tough competition next week at Regionals.
