Community/Recap/S1/E21 Contemporary American Poultry: Difference between revisions

----

 

* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Turns out that the cafeteria fry-cook could control the entire school by controlling the supply of chicken wings.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Don't take Godfather!Abed for granted. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|He'll destroy your new backpack, release your monkey, put gum in your hair, disconnect the AV system and]] [[Ho Yay|feed the guy you like chicken fingers]].

* [[Clothing Switch]]: The twist of Abed and Troy's "awesome elevator" trick in [[The Tag]].

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Part of the movie's homage of ''[[Goodfellas]]'' includes referencing "Layla" for the 'study group getting punished' montage.

* [[Dramatic Irony]] / [[Hilarious in Retrospect]]: Jeff tries to convince Abed to go along with his plan by saying that he would get the most important job of all, the fry cook. Abed voices his doubts about it being the most important. But as the rest of the episode proves, it really was.

'''Troy:''' It's an animal that looks like a dude, why don't I have ten of them? }}

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Jeff is gradually unseated as group leader by Abed. He is ''not'' happy about this.

* [[Informed Wrongness]]: Apparently the group thinks that telling Shirley Sexy-Dreadlocks had an interest in her, when in reality he had no idea who she was, was the right thing to do. While Abed may have pointed out the truth a [[Brutal Honesty|bit too bluntly]], it still seems better than falsely leading Shirley on. Naturally, YMMV on this part.

* [[The Mafia]]: The study group becomes the community-college-chicken-finger-running equivalent thereof.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: It's partly fueled by jealousy over being eclipsed by Abed, but Jeff's the only one to realize that the chicken-finger mafia syndicate is going way over the top.

* [[Overly Long Gag]]: Lampshaded:

'''Shirley:''' ''[Fed-up]'' We get it! The monkey's name is 'Annie's Boobs'. }}

* [[Serious Business]]: Greendale ''runs'' on chicken fingers.

* [[Scandalgate]]: The school newspaper has a headline which reads "Star-Gate!" and the subhead, "[[Lampshade Hanging|Headline in reference to Watergate,]] [[Stargate|not the 1994 sci-fi film]]."

* [[Shout-Out]]: Lots to ''[[Goodfellas]]'' and other mafia movies.

** Lampshaded at the end; when Jeff and Abed decide to make up over a plate of chicken fingers, Abed eagerly asks whether they can eat them in a similar fashion to ''[[Sixteen Candles]]'':

'''Abed:''' ''[[Sixteen Candles]]''! }}

*** The scandal involving Starburns is called [[Stargate|"Star-Gate"]].
