== The ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'' episode "Enviromental Science" provides examples of: ==
 
* [[Accidental Innuendo]]:
{{quote| '''Annie''': You have to get Chang to call off some of this homework. You're the one with the silver tongue.<br />
'''Pierce''': Go tongue Chang. }}
* [[Backhanded Compliment]]: And Chang doesn't catch it.
{{quote| '''Chang:''' You make no mistake about this, Winger; I pleasured that woman greatly.<br />
'''Jeff:''' Yeah. You look like you would have to. I'm not surprised you said that. }}
* [[Crosses the Line Twice]]:
{{quote| '''Dean''': I'm here to kick of the first day of a new tradition at our school called "Green Week!" <br />
'''Pierce''': First we give a month to black history, now we're [[Comically Missing the Point|blowing 7 days on the Irish]]. }}
* [[Dude, Not Funny]]: In Spanish, Chang calls Pierce 'old'; Abed 'ugly'; and [[Unacceptable Targets|Shirley and Troy]] [[Everything Is Racist|'dirty']].
* [[Eek! A Mouse!|Eek A Rat]]
* [[Epic Song]]: Intercut over three different storylines.
* [[Green Aesop]]: Parodied; the Dean decides to celebrate Green Week and announces that he's change the name of the college to Envirodale, only to be told the school is already named '''Green'''dale. The Dean then orders the 5,000 leaflets he's had printed with "Envirodale" on it destroyed, and another 5,000 printed up with Greendale in them.
* [[Homage]]:
** In [[The Tag]] of "Environmental Science," Pierce behaves like Michael Corleone in the restaurant scene from ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]]'', shooting Troy and Abed in the face with a water pistol filled with pepper water, then dropping the gun as he leaves.
** Abed and Troy's mouse is named after Fievel Mousekewitz, one of the characters in the movie ''[[An American Tail (Animation)|An American Tail]]'', in which he sings "Somewhere Out There", the song Abed and Troy sing to lure their mouse out.
* [[Moral Myopia]]: Jeff is asked to approach Senor Chang on behalf of the group and get him to call off some of the ridiculously harsh amounts of homework he's been setting. Chang, bonding with Jeff over his recent separation from his wife, agrees to call it off -- but only for Jeff. Jeff goes along with this, and when the other members of the group learn this and angrily call him out over it Jeff initially acts as if ''he's'' the one who's being wronged.
* [[It Makes Sense in Context]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZJHamGNOFQ This clip] is one of the show's most popular on [[YouTube]], if not ''the'' most popular outside the Troy-Abed tag scenes at the end of each episode. In it, [[Hey, It's That Guy!|the Bro Rape guy]] and an Indian actor sing "[[An American Tail (Animation)|Somewhere Out There]]" at a mouse in a vent; [[Hey, It's That Guy!|the naked Chinese mobster from]] ''[[The Hangover]]'' does an Irish tango kind of thing, screams, and starts making out with his dance partner as [[Hey, It's That Guy!|the host of]] ''[[The Soup]]'' silently watches; and [[Hey, It's That Guy!|that woman who worked with]] [[The Office|Dwight when he was at Staples]] talks very slowly about "orgasmically delicious" brownies in front of a mesmerized class (and briefly impersonates [[Jack Nicholson]] from ''[[The Shining]]''), while Chevy Chase waves a sandwich in the air.
* [[Dumbass Has a Point|Pierce Has A Point]]: Pierce actually has some effective public-speaking tips for Shirley.
* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Chang is shown to be especially petty and vindictive when dealing with his students.
Line 29:
* [[Squirrels in My Pants]]
* [[Strange Minds Think Alike]]:
{{quote| '''Pierce''': You know if Senor Chang gets any more crazy, he's going to win one of those Grammy awards.}}
 
{{quote| '''Jeff''': If that guy goes any more nuts, he's going to win a Grammy.}}
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: While Ken Jeong certainly isn't hideous, Ben Chang's ''personality'' is pretty ugly. And, in any event, Andrea de Olivera ("Senora Chang") is far easier on the eyes.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Troy and rats, with Troy even referencing the [[Trope Namer|trope namer.]] Also Chang and frogs, apparently.
