The Art of Discourse is the 22nd episode of the first season of the American comedy television series Community. In this episode, Jeff (Joel McHale) and Britta (Gillian Jacobs) find themselves in an altercation with a group of high school kids in the school courtyard. After they are insulted by the students, Jeff and Britta decide to retaliate by putting them in their place. Meanwhile, Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) and Pierce (Chevy Chase) plot to humiliate Chang (Ken Jeong) after he allowed himself to be pushed around by a group of students.

As Jeff and Britta try to assert their dominance over the high school students, they quickly realize that the kids are much tougher than they anticipated.
