Community/Recap/S1/E05 Advanced Criminal Law: Difference between revisions

* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Pierce takes the opportunity to openly watch Annie's rear end as she leaves the music room where he's 'composing' the school song.

* [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm]]: Abed's inability to understand being 'messed with' drives his and Troy's subplot. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]]:

'''Abed:''' Yes, just kidding, no. Like that? ...This isn't a table. ''(Laughs)'' ...That's funny. }}

* [[Escalating War]]: Abed embarks on one of these after being messed with by Troy, acting as an alien. {{spoiler|Subverted in that Troy isn't fooled by Abed's pranks, but ''is'' increasingly concerned by Abed's ridiculously elaborate attempts.}}

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Two examples:

** After Senor Chang has ordered the class to 'turn on' Britta, resulting in her being pelted with paper.

''[Britta has long since left the room]'' }}

** During the hearing {{spoiler|after Britta has admitted that she ''did'' cheat}}

'''Jeff:''' ''You're on trial for cheating!'' }}

* [[Insanity Defense]]: How Jeff saves Britta from expulsion for cheating.

'''Jeff:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|Objection. I don't know what he means.]]<br />

'''Duncan:''' Please don't encourage him, Winger. }}

* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]]: Chang and Duncan spend most of the trial sniping at each other

* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Double subverted; for the most part Abed's efforts to persuade Troy he's an alien are quite convincing and credible, and he even goes to the trouble of renting green screen to produce some reasonably convincing 'alien communicator' effects. Then this trope fully kicks in when Garrett appears in a less-than-convincing alien suit badly acting the same way Abed was, unaware that Troy already knows the score.

'''Troy:''' Hmmm. }}

* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: The school song Pierce finally creates is a thinly-veiled (as in "veil, what veil?") knockoff of Bruce Hornsby and the Range's "The Way It Is." Jeff and Abed [[Lampshade Hanging|hang a lampshade all over this]].
