----
== The ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'' episode "For A Few Paintballs More" provides examples of: ==
 
* [[Action Girl]]: Britta, Shirley and Annie.
Line 30:
** Early on, Leonard interprets "Hit 'em where it hurts" to mean "Just below their balls." Later, when getting ready to fight, his [[Battle Cry]] is "Let's kick some taint."
* [[Call Back]]: Oh boy...
** [[Community (TV)/Recap/S1 E20 The Science of Illusion|Shirley's driving]].
** [[Community (TV)/Recap/S1 E24 English As a Second Language|Troy's super-plumbing abilities]], and the return of the janitor.
** [[Community (TV)/Webisodes/Recap|The poster of]] [[Dan Harmon|Dean of Admissions Pat Isakson]].
** [[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E12 Asian Population Studies|Quendra with a Q-U]] returns briefly.
** This is a bit more subtle, but [[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E09 Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design|as previously shown]], it's really easy for someone to {{spoiler|mess with the school's application system so that the City College students could double as Greendale students.}}
*** {{spoiler|In fact, that's how Chang got involved with [[Community (TV)/Recap/S1 E23 Modern Warfare|the original paintball tournament.]]}}
* [[The Cameo]]: Busy Phillips and Dan Byrd from ''[[Cougar Town]]'' are seen briefly among the extras after Greendale wins. It's a [[Call Back]] to the episode where Abed says he was a background extra on the set of that show.
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Super-plumbing
Line 43:
* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: The Dean and Jeff himself believe he is the the hero of the story. {{spoiler|Turns out Jeff is the first of the study group to 'die'. Really any of the other members could make a better argument for being the protagonist.}}
* [[Died in Your Arms Tonight]]: {{spoiler|Magnitude.}}
* [[Dressing Asas the Enemy]]: {{spoiler|Pierce.}}
* [[Dropped a Bridge Onon Him]]: {{spoiler|Jeff.}}
** {{spoiler|But, you know, with paint. Pretendsies dropping of bridge.}}
* [[Evil Gloating]]: A confused Dean Pelton needs Dean Spreck to do this:
Line 59:
** "We win!" {{spoiler|Shirley}}
* [[Fan Service]]: Take all of the Alison Brie fanservice from the previous episode and combine it with [[Clothing Damage]] and being covered in paint.
* [[Foe Yay]]: As in [[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E04 Basic Rocket Science|"Basic Rocket Science"]] there seems to be a copious amount of it between the dean and {{spoiler|the dean of city college.}}
* [[Gatling Good]]
* [[Genre Shift]]: From [[The Western|Western]] to "Rebels vs. [[The Empire|the Empire]]", as mentioned above. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]]. (By [[Genre Savvy|Abed]], of course.)
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The shot of City College raising their flag (a tall building flanked by two shorter ones) over the Greendale flag (an anus). It looks like [http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ll45zfhMva1qjagpco1_500.png this].
* [[The Hero]]: Jeff and Troy fight over who should assume the role. {{spoiler|They both end up being a [[Decoy Protagonist]].}}
Line 77:
'''Abed:''' You're already dead. }}
* [[It's Been Done]]: Annie and everyone else consider the idea of a ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Whole-Plot Reference]] played-out.
* [[Jumping Onon a Grenade|Jumping on a Paint Grenade]]: Alas, poor {{spoiler|Magnitude}}, we hardly knew ye.
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Vickieeeeee!!!!
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Dean Spreck
Line 101:
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: The study group and other Greendale students have to band together to fight the City College invasion.
* [[Redshirt Army]]: Jeff leads this along with Britta and a few recurring characters against the ice cream truck.
* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Paradox, the British student dressed like a hobo who contradicts everybody.
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: "Remember the New Guy" is, itself, a paradox.
* [[Redemption in Thethe Rain]]: Troy.
* [[The Reveal]]: At the start of the episode Pistol Patty is revealed to be Dean Spreck from the rival City College.
* [[Self-Deprecation]]:
Line 113:
* [[Serious Business]]: Paintball was ''already'' [[Serious Business]] at Greendale, but somehow [[Up to Eleven|this episode managed to make it even serious-er]].
* [[Ship Tease]]: {{spoiler|Annie and Han!Abed}}.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Much like Jeff in [[Community (TV)/Recap/S1 E23 Modern Warfare|"Modern Warfare"]], Troy spends the whole episode in a muscle shirt.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** [[Literary Allusion Title]]: The episode title is taken from ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]''.
