Line 34:
* [[Brick Joke]]: The first time we see Star-Burns in the episode is when he falls for Troy and Abed's sting by swiping Troy's backpack. Later, after they've broken into his locker and discovered the equipment he's stolen for his meth-lab operation, Starburns comes across them -- and drops another ''three'' backpacks which he's obviously also stolen.
* [[Call Back]]:
** The title contains black and white stills of events from previous episodes such as the food fight, [[Community/Recap/S3 /E02 Geography of Global Conflict|the Model UN]], [[Community/Recap/S3 /E04 Remedial Chaos Theory|Annie's handgun]], [[Community/Recap/S1 /E23 Modern Warfare|a desolate campus]], [[Community/Recap/S3 /E03 Competitive Ecology|the cafeteria fire]], and [[Community/Recap/S3 /E16 Virtual Systems Analysis|a pair of Blorgons]]. Footage of Annie and Shirley [[Community/Recap/S1 /E20 The Science of Illusion|driving the campus police cart]] is also included.
** Most of the minor characters appear.
** [[Actor Allusion|Troy's]] [[Spider-Man]] tie, to his pajamas in "[[Community/Recap/S2 /E01 Anthropology 101|Anthropology 101]]."
** Reading an analog clock is one of the things that Abed doesn't understand at the end of "[[Community/Recap/S3 /E16 Virtual Systems Analysis|Virtual Systems Analysis]]."
** Pierce says "Duh-doy!" which is also what Britta says in various other episodes, and Jeff echoed once [[Community/Recap/S2 /E10 Mixology Certification|while drunk.]]
** Starburns has a [[Community/Recap/S3 /E13 Digital Exploration of Interior Design|locker since every student gets one at registration]].
** Jeff doesn't get to invoke 9/11. It is done by the other party. He did not seem pleased.
** Starburns' meth lab. While he's been known to be a drug dealer since season 2, it seems that he only got into crystal meth after [[Community/Recap/S3 /E01 Biology 101|Professor Kane refused to]] get a ''[[Breaking Bad]]'' thing going with him.
* [[The Cameo]]: Leslie Hendrix (who plays [[The Coroner|coroner]] Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers on ''L&O''), who performs an autopsy on the "murdered" yam; and Michael Ironside as Lt. Colonel Archwood.
* [[Character Development]]: We receive a subtle-but-clear example of how far Jeff Winger has come over the course of the series -- the [[Amoral Attorney]] supreme, who would previously do anything no matter how underhanded to win and get what he wants without any real concern for who might get hurt in the process, is now willing to lose the case and sacrifice an easy A grade in order to ensure that an innocent man (and one who he doesn't even like very much) is not wrongfully punished.
Line 55:
'''Pierce:''' Fine, ''6'' to 1. }}
* [[Courtroom Antic]]: Both the visiting defense and prosecutor Annie pull blatant examples of [[Disregard That Statement]].
* [[Courtroom Episode]]: ''[[Community]]'' this one off the [[Episodes|Master List of Episodes here at TV Tropes]] for a [[Community/Recap/S1 /E05 Advanced Criminal Law|second time.]]
* [[Da Chief]]: Shirley, doing a good impersonation of [[Law & Order|Lt. Van Buren]].
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]/[[Sarcasm Mode]]: Abed steps up a notch or two in this, which is only fitting since he's partly channelling [[Law & Order|Detective Briscoe]]. Example: While interviewing Todd as he's shelving books in the library, he notices his hand is bandaged:
Line 79:
{{quote|'''Quendra:''' "The explanation isn't the issue!"}}
* [[Funny Background Event]]:
** Chang sticking out his [https://web.archive.org/web/20120401223416/http://www.hulu.com/watch/338455/community-ken-jeongs-chang-tongue "Chang tongue"] as the bailiff.
** During the hotdog scene you can see in the background a woman leaving a room wiping her mouth, shortly after her a man leaves zipping up his pants. Doubles as [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]. [http://i49.tinypic.com/16mfpd.gif Now in .gif form!]
*** This one was apparently happening so far in the background [http://paradigms-of-a-time-lord-memory.tumblr.com/post/22084223302 that the producers themselves didn't notice it until it was pointed out to them.]
Line 128:
* [[The Rainman]]: Abed being unable to read an analog clock.
{{quote|'''Abed:''' I'm gifted in other ways.}}
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: Neil and Vicki, whom a number of fans have been viewing with [[Shipping Goggles]] since [[Community/Recap/S2 /E22 Applied Anthropology and Culinary Arts|Season 2]].
* [[Serious Business]]:
** The sweet potato projects. In contrast the serious felonies Starburns is committing are quietly ignored, setting up the ending.
