== The ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'' episode "Home Economics" provides examples of: ==
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Jeff makes a throwaway reference to having a drunken and abusive dad when explaining how TV makes an excellent parent. (Given what we see in [[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 /E16 Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking|Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking]], this could be [[Foreshadowing]].)
* [[Accidental Unfortunate Gesture]]
{{quote| '''Shirley:''' Shake them in your mind!}}
* [[Asleep in Class]]: '''Buenos Dias Winger!!'''
* [[Borrowed Catchphrase]]: Jeff borrows Abed's "Cool, cool, cool" after living in his room for awhile.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Annie interrupts Troy and Randi's date and attempts to tell Troy the reason.
{{quote| '''Annie:''' ''NO!'' Before you two proceed, I have one thing to say.<br />
''(long pause)''<br />
'''Troy:''' ...Did you...say it already? }}
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Pierce and Vaughn are arguing about song credits:
{{quote| '''Pierce:''' Your song? We wrote it together. Are you trying to Garfunkel me?<br />
'''Vaughn:''' Maybe. Assuming to "Garfunkel" someone is to keep putting them even though they're a [[Garfield|fat, lazy cat who hogs the spotlight and eats all the lasagne]]. }}
 
{{quote| '''Jeff:''' How are you so satisfied all the time, Abed? Don't you ever want anything more out of life than cereal?<br />
'''Abed:''' Sometimes I like to pour hot cocoa mix into cold milk and drink it like a cold hot chocolate. I call it "special drink." }}
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: Pierce becomes a keyboardist in Vaughn's band, allowing Chevy Chase to briefly display his skills as a musician.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Jeff:
{{quote| '''Jeff:''' The next person who offers me pity or charity will be mentioned -- by name -- in my suicide note.}}
* [[Ear Worm]]: "Getting Rid of Britta."
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Troy's date is named Randi.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Vaughn. His usual method of revenge for people who piss him off is to write songs with [[Creator Breakdown|rather passive-aggressively spiteful lyrics]] in which he denounces them as a 'B'. Unfortunately for him, he gets a response song written about him in [[The Tag]], which he apparently did not anticipate.
* [[Metaphorgotten]]: See the [[Spoof Aesop]] quote.
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Troy thinks that this may have happened when Annie is shocked that he's dating a (girl named) Randi.
* [[Painful Rhyme]]: Britta accuses Vaughn of this.
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: Britta warns Pierce to not talk to Vaughn. Gets predictable results.
* [[Sidetracked Byby the Analogy]]: Partially Averted. Abed's analogy asking Britta to take Jeff back. Averted when Britta ignores it.
{{quote| '''Abed:''' Do it, Britta, seduce him. Draw the tapeworm of Jeff's old self out of him with the bowl of milk that is your sexuality.<br />
'''Britta:''' No. }}
* [[Spoof Aesop]]: Britta telling Jeff to reclaim his materialistic old ways:
{{quote| '''Britta:''' Maybe you're one of those rare people with nothing underneath the surface. Maybe if you put stain remover on a turd, you don't get a diamond - you just get a turd with less direction in life.}}
* [[Sure, Let's Go Withwith That]]: Pierce gets angry at Britta's ex boyfriend (whose band he recently joined) about not getting his share of the credit for a song they wrote (an insulting song about Britta caused by the ex's [[Creator Breakdown]] regarding the events in "Social Psychology"). Britta watches their argument from a distance without hearing the words, leading to this exchange:
{{quote| '''Britta:''' Pierce, did you just defend my honor?<br />
'''Pierce:''' Uh... yeah, totally. }}
* [[This Is Sparta]]: Don't. Talk. To. Vaughn.
* [[T -Word Euphemism]]: Vaughn's song about "getting rid of Britta, I'm getting rid of the B..." ''(She's a G-D-B!)''
** Also, her name STARTS with a B.
