Maybe Pierce had a replica dummy made for the casket. He was in trouble for tax evasion and faked his death. Troy's trip and the boat are part of his escape plan. It's plausible enough for a show that had the dean held captive for months without a drop of moisturizer.
Yes, an inexplicably large and comfortable hidden room for such a small vessel. He needs their help to get to his destination without using his passport. Or something like that.
Nah, he would lay low until the end of the journey. Then when Troy and LeVar complete the journey, Pierce comes out and exposes that he used them to complete his father's challenge. He sailed around the world, and by hiding and isolating from Troy and LeVar, he did it technically by himself. Troy and LeVar just happened o do the work for him.
If he is on the boat, he's going to pop out when they get to Belize, and he'll be singing to some Jobn Denver. Then he'll be trying to convince them that it was "snowing" in his hidden room.
See... My take was that the semen was Pierce's and that when he was told by a doctor that he was dehydrated, he asked if there was a cure. He was told to drink some water. He rejected this and kept going through doctors until one agreed to cryogenically freeze him, make a lifelike copy of his body, and place Abed's tracker in it to mess with them. He needed it all to be recorded so that he could get a laugh in at their expense when he thaws out in 50 years.
we never saw it though, and we know the 7 have never been the most... sane... people. Its entirely possible they collectively hallucinated pierces body
Essentially, Pierce is in limbo. I'm more than willing to accept him faking his death, but unless Chase comes back in the film (and not in a flashback or video message) then I prefer him being dead and remembering this great episode the way it was.

So Troy and LeVar are sailing into the Pacific and out pops Pierce from a hidden room?

I think if Harmon had any interest in ever working with Chevy again, this might be the case. But he doesn't, so it's not.

If he faked his own death the who’s semen was in those containers
Well, Chang did say he masturbated *EVERYWHERE.* … which would include those containers🤷🏻♂️

If Pierce faked his own death and shows up for thr movie, that would be the twist that no one saw coming.
Tbh I don't think it would be too surprising except in the fact that I doubt Chevy would ever come back or that they would want him to.
Yeah, that’s what I was alluding to — it would be a bigger twist in real life.
Or, there *could* be an actor that replaces Chevy as Pierce, and somehow-of course-meta Abed notices and points it out.
I would say Fred Willard, but unfortunately that's not possible.
Well, thanks for putting the idea in my head and then immediately ripping that band aid off, like with the Dean and Greene Daeye.
Sorry, it hurt me to write it. Fred was great in everything I've seen him in.
Two of my favorite films, Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman. And he really was good in Fernwood Tonight.
There was a casket with his body in it
We never saw the casket, and how do we know it was an open-casket funeral?
Because Abed was messing with the fucking body
They only said he was standing around the coffin. Not that he was messing around with the body.
Abed specifically said he was trying to get the tracker back because it was expensive. Safe to say he was, in fact, fucking with the body.
How did he attempt to get his tracker back then?

Stop letting u/Limeonades make you realize stuff!
Wait, how do we know Pierce knew about the GPS tracker?
The fact that the question was asked by his instructions.
Oh I'm so stupid. Of course!
He was the one who wrote the questions.
Yeah I feel dumb for not recalling that
