Community S1E21 "Contemporary American Poultry"

In this episode, a character who goes by the nickname Star-Burns (because his sideburns are cut in the shape of stars) gets caught in a scandal that is covered by the school paper. The paper is only onscreen for a couple seconds, but it contains a blatant Stargate reference.

This is the best transcription that I can come up with:

Bonus reference from Community S2E10 "Mixology Certification":

Panel 1: Abed saying "I really like talking about Farscape. It's a really good show." Panel 2: The bar stranger walking away, saying "Stargate is better."

STRANGER: Okay, so, what is wrong with you, that you can sit here this whole time and never pick up on the fact that a man is hitting on you?
ABED: Oh, I actually did pick up on it after a while.
STRANGER: You actu-- [PAUSE] And?
ABED: I really really like talking about Farscape.
STRANGER: [THROWS DRINK IN ABED'S FACE]
ABED: [PAUSE] It's a really good show.
STRANGER: [WALKING AWAY] Stargate's better.
