----
=== The ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'' episode "Custody Law and Eastern European Diplomacy" contains examples of: ===
* [[Adorkable]]: Britta has shades of this with her Britta-ney Spears rendition.
* [[Affably Evil]]: For someone who is hinted to have done some ''very'' nasty things in the Balkans, Lukka is a rather charming fellow.
Line 12:
* [[Brought Home the Wrong Kid]]: A classic example when Chang screws up his attempt to prove he's a good father by picking up someone else's kids instead of Shirley's.
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|After borrowing a DVD without permission]] Britta is unable to convince Troy & Abed of the real reason they should stop being friends with Lukka.
{{quote| '''Britta:''' You guys have to believe me! [[Noodle Incident|He's so much worse than Tall Kyle!]]}}
* [[Complete Monster]]: Lukka is apparently one of these in-universe.
* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: Lampshaded when Andre's attempt to convince Chang about the realities of fatherhood ends with Chang fleeing:
{{quote| '''Andre:''' I'll go ahead and consider ''that'' point missed.}}
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Abed subverts this. He doesn't have a security camera, he has a camera for a documentary that occasionally comes in handy.
* [[Dramatic Pause]]: Britta attempts this ("May...be...we...do...!") but gets blank stares from Abed, Troy and Lukka.
* [[Friendship Moment]]: Britta has one of these with Troy & Abed where they agree to go easier on her if she doesn't tell them details about guys she is dating. With the exception of if they have committed genocide or are left handed (Abed's making a chart).
* [[Go Look At the Distraction]]: Jeff's quote in this episode is used on the trope page.
{{quote| '''Jeff''': Oh look, is that a reason to leave?}}
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Abed's reaction to hearing about the situation in the Balkans.
{{quote| '''Abed:''' If I ever go to the Balkans, I'm going to bring some serious cheat codes and walkthroughs.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Lukka is [[Dollhouse|Victor]]!
* [[I Need to Go Iron My Dog]]:
{{quote| '''Jeff:''' Oh look, is that a reason to leave?}}
* [[Left the Background Music On]]: After Lukka spoils the mood, a standard "Wa Wa Aa Aa". plays. Lukka's neighbor is a real mood killer.
* [[Losing Horns]]: Heard during Britta and Lukka's makeout session after she discovers he committed atrocities when he was a soldier in his homeland. They're actual sounds coming from Lukka's next door neighbor practicing playing his trombone.
Line 33:
* [[Significant Reference Date]]: The end of the episode occurs on St. Patrick's Day, the same day this episode first aired. Abed, Britta, and Troy are all wearing green. Ends up being a [[Dresses the Same]] instant when Troy realizes both he and Britta are wearing the same neckerchief.
* [[Standard Fifties Father]]: Chang acts and dresses like one in an attempt to show Shirley he can be a responsible dad.
* [[Surveillance Asas the Plot Demands]]: Abed has security camera set up in his dorm for an autobiographical documentary. They come in handy every once in a while.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: Abed, Troy and Lukka are ''very'' freaked out by Britta's [[Dramatic Pause]] moment.
{{quote| '''Troy:''' I don't want to play any more.<br />
'''Abed:''' I feel sick.<br />
'''Lukka:''' She's strange. }}
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Abed and Troy aren't friends with Lukka anymore...but there's still a Balkan war criminal loose in Greendale.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Andre is horrified that Shirley and Jeff are conspiring to get Chang locked away for 20 to life for human trafficking (Jeff isn't above a little perjury) rather than just 3 to 5 for kidnapping.
* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: Lukka applies his real world knowledge to show how it can be done. Though honestly any game that awards points for killing unarmed villagers is just asking for this to happen.
