** [[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E21 Paradigms of Human Memory|Six seasons and a movie!]]

** [[Community (TV)/Recap/S2 E11 Abeds Uncontrollable Christmas|Abed becomes catatonic]] when incredibly stressed.

** Made all the more entertaining because this is one of the few instances (if not the only one) where they don't give the name of the actual show (see Cougartown, M*A*S*H, etc.).

* [[Cliffhanger Copout]]: The second series ended with Pierce declaring he was done with the study group and walking out on them, leaving audiences to wonder what this would mean in the next series. The resolution is... Pierce walking into the study room, explaining he'd changed his mind, and asking them to take him back. Probably deliberate, since it was never likely that Pierce would be gone from the group for good.

* [[Dream Sequence]]: Jeff's kicks off the episode.

* [[Drunk With Power]]: As part of his drive to kick back on '[[National Lampoon|National Lampooning]]', the Dean starts throwing his weight around. Unfortunately, this antagonizes the Vice-Dean of the Air Conditioning Repair Annex... who, as it turns out, is considerably more powerful.

* [[Eating Lunch Alone]]: Leonard is quick to call out Jeff on this.

* [[Easily Forgiven]]: Part of the [[Cliffhanger Copout]]. Pierce is automatically forgiven by everyone {{spoiler|(except Jeff)}} for all of his evil actions last season. Pierce also forgives the study group rather easily for alienating him.

* [[Ship Tease]]: The biggest one would be Jeff/Annie, but Abed/Annie, and Abed/Britta are also hinted at.

** Abed/Troy also gets a pretty big spotlight (see the [[Ho Yay]] entry).

** The name ''[[Cougar Town|Cougarton Abbey]]'' is one for ''[[Downton Abbey]]''.

** [[Kill'Em All|The ending of]] ''[[Cougar Town|Cougarton Abbey]]'' is one to ''[[Black Adder]]''

** In Jeff's psychotropic-induced meltdown is one for the ending of 2001:[[A Space Odyssey]], the upright study-room table as the [[The Monolith]] .

** The opening song-and-dance number is not dissimilar to those which appear on ''[[Glee]]'' or ''[[High School Musical]]''.

* [[Status Quo Is God]]: Lampshaded, Jeff and Dean Pelton both think things are going to change a lot this year, only to be proven quite wrong.

* [[Stern Teacher]]: Prof. Kane is presented as one.

* [[Subject 101]]: Biology 101

* [[Suicide As Comedy]]: [[Kill'Em All|The ending of]] ''[[Cougar Town|Cougarton Abbey]]''.

* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: Jeff towards Pierce.

* [[Trans Atlantic Equivalent]]: ''Cougar Town'' and ''Cougarton Abbey''.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Jeff, who takes over Pierce's normal role as the group 'villain' upon losing his place in the biology class, ends up attacking the study room table with a fireaxe. Pierce even lampshades it when he lies to the group to enable Jeff to be redeemed at his expense:
