While hanging out in the cafeteria Jeff and Britta become targets of ridicule for a trio of elitist high school students attending Greendale for early college credit. They try to get revenge but find the results are less than satisfying. Meanwhile the study group is torn apart when Pierce goes too far and humiliates Shirley and fails to apologize, resulting in an ultimatum. On the lighter side, Abed has a Quintessential College Experience List and Troy is helping him complete it.

----

 

* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Abed goes down a list to fulfill every college movie trope he can with Troy.

* [[Animal Reaction Shot]]: When a joke by Britta falls flat, the goat<ref>a rival school [[Mascot]] that Troy and Abed stole for Abed's list</ref> [[Even the Dog Is Ashamed|gets a reaction shot]].

* [[I Banged Your Mom]]: ...just so he can have the satisfaction of telling him about it.

* [[Instant AI, Just Add Water]]: [[Conversed Trope|Conversed]]:

* [[Irony]]: It's implied that Mark, the leader of the high schoolers, will meet the same fate as Jeff. His medical license will be revoked and he will disappear possibly to a community college to earn an actual medical degree.

* [[Magical Negro]]: Troy offers to help Abed finish all the entries on his Quintessential College Experience List.

* [[NameTron]]: Booba-tron

* [[Noodle Incident]]: Abed had already kissed the hottest girl on campus and it was neither Annie nor Britta.

* [[Pizza Boy Special Delivery]]: Troy and Abed are [[Discussed Trope|discussing]] [[Porn Names]] when porn-esque bass music starts playing and a studly pizza delivery guy enters asking in a suggestive manner who ordered the pizza with "extra sausage" he has. After Troy and Abed flee the room, the music stops and the camera cuts to Leonard [[Sorry I Left the BGM On|with a guitar]] saying he ordered the pizza.

* [[Take That]]: Abed explains how the absence of Pierce has left the status of group [[Butt Monkey]] up for grabs:

* [[Teens Are Monsters]]: The highschool students attending campus for a program to earn college credits won't stop MERCILESSLY hounding the cast for going to a community college, when they'll be one day going to universities. Strangely [[Up to Eleven]] - many fans felt they were too cruel to be funny.

** Mark's mom taught him to be cruel.

* [[We Want Our Jerk Back]]: After {{spoiler|Pierce gets kicked out of the group for pantsing Shirley, they quickly realizes that they need him back, because his vital role as the biggest [[Jerkass]] there allows the rest of them to get along better with each other by diverting all their vitriol toward himself.}}

* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: In keeping with the ''[[Animal House]]'' influence of Abed's subplot.
