Community/Recap/S3/E19 Curriculum Unavailable: Difference between revisions

* [[Bedlam House]]: The {{spoiler|fictional}} Greendale Asylum; patients are crammed into locked, badly-lighted wards in straitjackets, while orderlies either watch their antics in amusement or abet sadistic experiments performed by the [[Mad Scientist|lab-coated doctors]] in charge.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Shirley learns the hard way not to favourably compare Brett Ratner with Steven Spielberg in front of Abed.

* [[Big No]]: Subverted. Abed's reaction to having to see ''[[Chicago]]'' is not a [[Big No]] as would be expected, but a Big ''Lame''.

** Alternately, it could have been over the Dean [[Heroic Sacrifice|taking paintballs for him and "dying"]].

* [[Call Back]]:

** The homeless guy in the study room from "[[Community/Recap/S1 E02 Spanish 101|Spanish 101]]":

** The psych test results from "[[Community/Recap/S3 E05 Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps|Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps]]":

** Annie does her trial of "Troy and Abed and Annie in the Morning" wearing the same outfit as [[Community/Recap/S3 E16 Virtual Systems Analysis|her guest spot]] on "Troy and Abed in the Morning".

** At the "Wigging Out" party, Jeff has the same fixation with his jacket as in "[[Community/Recap/S2 E06 Epidemiology|Epidemiology]]".

** Dr. Heid's dramatic declaration {{spoiler|that Greendale Community College does not exist}} causes Troy to realize... that he parked by a meter.

** Troy again, when he rides a brand new quad-bike into the study room in a flashback:

'''Troy:''' Yes I can! It's all-terrain, dummy! }}

* [[Cordon Bleugh Chef]]: Troy's dish made entirely of junk food.

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Upon returning Abed to the apartment, Officer Cackowski mentions that it was the Dean who gave him Dr. Heidi's card and recommendation. {{spoiler|Considering we saw the Dean get replaced by Fauxby in the previous episode, it's a pretty big clue for the audience (if not at that point the characters) that Dr. Heidi is not entirely on the level.}}

* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: The chalkboard behind Troy when he rides into the Study Room says:

5. It turned [[Community/Recap/S3 E17 Basic Lupine Urology|Star Burns]] into [[Community/Recap/S3 E18 Course Listing Unavailable|Star Burned]].<br />

So if someone offers to tell you a "meth time story"...pass.<br />

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]:

** Britta announces that the stories they've just told Dr. Heidi are a reflection of the study group's solidarity... seconds before squeezing Troy's wounded hand.

'''Troy:''' We just finished telling him about it, and then you grab it and '''''squeeze it'''?!'' }}

** At the potluck dinner in the beginning of the episode, Britta whines about all the "poison" food and how she needs organic food to help her hangover.

* [[I Have This Friend]]: Britta is wondering how long peyote lasts, you know, for a friend.

* [[I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder]]:

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Literally, Dr. Heidi´s office has an unusual amount of lampshades.

* [[Late to The Punchline]]: Troy, then Pierce.

* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: In "Troy and Abed and Annie in the Morning"

* [[Mind Screw]]: Dr. Heidi pulls several of these on the study group. {{spoiler|Subverted, as it doesn't take them very long to realize he's just making stuff up.}}

* [[Mushroom Samba]]: In one of the flashbacks, Britta shows up to the study room with wild, frizzed hair full of various small items, ruined day-old makeup, and presumably a banana in her pants. As she sits down, she nonchalantly asks [[I Have This Friend|for a friend]] how long peyote lasts.

* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|Greendale Community College doesn't exist. Actually a lie.}}

** Later, averted and lampshaded:

'''Jeff:''' [''[[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|slaps Troy]]''] Stop letting him make you realize things. }}

* [[What Could Have Been]]: The role of Dr. Heidi was originally written for [[Nathan Fillion]], who had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts.

* [[What the Fu Are You Doing?]]: Troy believes that Shirley's son's karate trophy is an [[Upgrade Artifact]] and attempts to break the table.

* [[Worst Whatever Ever]]:

* [[You Must Be Cold]]: Jeff to Annie at the "Wigging Out" party. But immediately after giving her his jacket, he rattles off a lengthy list of care instructions to make sure it stays in good condition, and finally decides to take it back from her mere seconds after giving it to her in the first place.
