I'm with Troutman, I think the AbedTV stuff was designed to be the sort of bland and warm comedy that Community fans tend to hate. The only parts of that world that were funny were those that were outside of that show (Pierce being recast, the in-picture ads for other shows). The actual TV show jokes there were intentionally flat and unfunny.

I do, however, also agree with those saying that there were too-many plot-lines going on here. Either the hunger games or going into abed's mind inception-style would have been enough to anchor a whole episode.
Also, I'm not, at this point, a fan of setting up the Dean moving in next to Jeff as a major storyline for the season... just personal preference, but the Dean and Jeff work better as just little asides here and there, while the Dean is much funnier interacting with other characters.
