== The ''[[
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: The [[Overly Narrow Superlative|best]] [[Paintball Episode|paintball-based]] [[Satire, Parody, Pastiche]] of [[Post Apocalyptic]] and [[Heroic Bloodshed]] [[Overly Narrow Superlative|action movies since]] ''[[Spaced]]''.
* [[After the End]]: The majority of "Modern Warfare" takes place after Dean Pelton announced the prize to the school's paintball competition, causing almost all of the students to destroy each other almost immediately.
Line 17:
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Jeff, Britta, Abed and Shirley near the end.
* [[Badass Crew]]: The study group as a whole, for surviving as long as they did in such hellish conditions.
* [[Badass in
* [[Battle Royale With Cheese]]: see [[Whole-Plot Reference]].
* {{spoiler|[[Black Dude Dies First]]: Troy}} is the first of the study group to go down in the paintball game after {{spoiler|he}} "made God mad".
* [[Bling Bling Bang]]: The two gold-painted paintball guns Senor Chang uses in homage to [[Face
* [[A Bloody Mess]]: Inverted; "It's blood! I thought it was paint but I'm just bleeding! Thank god for that..."
* [[Bodyguard Betrayal]]: Pierce's defection from Starburns.
* [[Camping a Crapper]]: Britta's group's strategy is the [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Come
{{quote| '''Abed:''' Come with me if you don't want paint on your clothes.}}
** As other episodes show, Jeff getting his clothes ruined would be worse than death for him...
Line 54:
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The study group encounters the glee club, an [[Expy]] for the cast of ''[[Glee]]''. After the study group defeats them, Jeff tells them "Write some original songs!" In February of 2011, it was announced that ''[[Glee]]'' would be doing an episode with original songs.
* [[Homage]]: Tons.
** The "ONE HOUR LATER" scene where Jeff wakes up echoes the same scene in [[
** The line "Stu-dy grooo-up! Come out and ''play-y-y!''", a paraphrase of Luther's taunt in ''[[The Warriors (
** Jeff's wardrobe, his anticipation of Britta {{spoiler|trying to shoot him ("No paintballs, Hans?")}}, and {{spoiler|his final retaliatory gesture at the Dean}} are all taken directly from ''[[
** Chang's {{spoiler|paint bomb}} plays out like the end of ''[[Predator]].''
** Chang's entrance to the study room is straight out of a [[John Woo]] movie... minus the [[Disturbed Doves]]. [[Word of God]] says they didn't have the budget for them.
Line 75:
* [[I Feel Guilty You Take It]]: Jeff gives his prize to Shirley so she can spend more time with her children.
* [[If We Get Through This]]: "What are you guys gonna do if you win priority registration?" As soon as Shirley mentions her kids, you know she's out the game.
* [[It Works Better
* [[I've Heard of That! What Is It?]]:
{{quote| '''Dean:''' The prize was a Blu-ray DVD player... but it got stolen. So now it's TBD!<br />
Line 130:
* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: The plot of "Modern Warfare" can be construed as a [[Whole-Plot Reference]] to ''at least'' one movie:
** ''[[Battle Royale]]'': A schoolmaster forces his students into a competition where they have to finish each other off one by one. He also enters a ringer who wishes to enter for fun, and one who has played the game before. At the end, {{spoiler|the last man standing breaks into his ivory tower and finishes him off}}.
** Which is also a very similar premise to ''The Condemned,'' ''[[The Running Man (
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Discussed.
** [[They Do]]: Sarcastically teased, {{spoiler|then played straight}}.
