Two months have passed since the "Greendale Seven" [[Community/Recap/S3
----
=== Tropes appearing in this episode of ''[[Community]]'' include: ===
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** It's not surprising that the camera cuts to Annie after Abed does his [[Mad Men|Don Draper]] impression again.
*** Also counts as a [[Call Back]] to when Abed used this impression to hit on Annie.
Line 15:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Shirley learns the hard way not to favourably compare Brett Ratner with Steven Spielberg in front of Abed.
{{quote|'''Abed:''' You're a bad person. ''You're a bad person''.}}
* [[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"]].
* [[Blatant Lies]]: {{spoiler|They're briefly suckered in, but it takes the study group all of five seconds after leaving his office to realize that Dr. Heidi has been feeding them these and they have loads of evidence to prove him wrong. This doesn't stop him from trying to convince them that he's the Devil and they're in purgatory, however. Only [[The Ditz|Troy]] actually falls for it.}}
* [[Bob Haircut]]: The Dean as a [[Wholesome Crossdresser]].
* [[Book Safe]]: Shirley finds a book in the library with a handgun-shaped cutout.
* [[Brick Joke]]: Officer Cackowski recommends against using the brick to prop open the outer door as it was used in "[[Community/Recap/S3
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Abed knew that the Dean had been replaced for the entire two skipped months.
* [[Call Back]]:
** The homeless guy in the study room from "[[Community/Recap/S1
{{quote|'''Dean:''' ''(through the library’s PA system)'' In order to increase awareness of the homelessness, security has been given binoculars. .}}
** The psych test results from "[[Community/Recap/S3
{{quote|'''Jeff:''' I mean, if anything, Abed's more sane than any of us.}}
** Annie does her trial of "Troy and Abed and Annie in the Morning" wearing the same outfit as [[Community/Recap/S3
** At the "Wigging Out" party, Jeff has the same fixation with his jacket as in "[[Community/Recap/S2
** Abed abridges his [[Mad Men|Don Draper]] impression from "[[Community/Recap/S1
** Dr. Heidi asks if the group can speak Spanish. Of course they can't -- [[Community/Recap/S1
** The fact that the Dean was announcing a fire through a megaphone makes sense when you remember that [[Community/Recap/S2
*** Actually some of [[Community/Recap/S2
** The Greendale {{spoiler|Asylum}} flashbacks: [[Community/Recap/S2
** In the background of the "Wigging Out" party can be heard the song "Party Where Your Heart Is" from [[Community/Recap/S1
** Abed [[Noodle Incident|trying to remove his own tonsils in order to avoid seeing a doctor]] was probably brought about by negative experiences with hospitalization when he was a kid, as shown in [[Community/Recap/S1
*** His reluctance to see Dr. Heidi also calls back to "[[Community/Recap/S2
* [[Ceiling Banger]]/[[Big "Shut Up!"]]: Annie resorts to this in [[The Tag]].
* [[Cerebus Retcon]]: The Study Group, and by extension the audience, is led to believe this is happening to the entire three years at Greendale. {{spoiler|Subverted: it takes the study group all of five seconds after leaving Dr. Heidi's office (well, it takes Pierce a bit longer) to realize that he's feeding them a load of horseshit and that they have copious amounts of evidence to prove him wrong.}}
* [[Clip Show]]: Like [[Community/Recap/S2
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]:
** 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:
{{quote|'''Annie:''' Troy, you can't bring that in here!
Line 64:
3. It could cause them to need meds the rest of their life.
4. Meth can turn present fun into future numb.
5. It turned [[Community/Recap/S3
So if someone offers to tell you a "meth time story"...pass.<br />
"If Grieving you is wrong...I don't want to be right." [[Meaningful Name|C. Hawk Bored]] }}
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Jeff slaps Troy to {{spoiler|keep him from falling for another of Heidi's [[Mind Screw]] explanations}}.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: The camera cuts away before Troy's [[What the Fu Are You Doing?|karate chop strikes the table]].
* [[Groin Attack]]: Chang uses a [[Static Stun Gun|stun gun]] on himself ''twice'', probably as [[Training
* [[Group Hug]]: The group has one at the end, contrasting with the Dean's failed one last episode.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Dr. Heidi is [[Apple Macintosh|PC!]]
Line 76:
* [[Hong Kong Dub]]: In the {{spoiler|fake}} asylum scenes, Garrett as {{spoiler|an evil psychiatrist}} is very obviously dubbed over.
* [[Human Chess]]: Used to determine parking spaces.
* [[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.
{{quote|'''Britta:''' Sorry!
'''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]]:
Line 92:
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: {{spoiler|Chang could have dealt with Abed by pressing charges and getting a restraining order. The alternate solution of getting Abed committed snowballs into an attempt to convince the whole study group that they're crazy and drive them away from Greendale. The session just serves to help them realize that Abed's right and that the Dean has been replaced with an impostor.}}
** Keep in mind that even if the "Dean" did press charges against Abed, it could have blown up in his face too. Such as the study group confronting the "Dean" and realizing he was a fake by themselves.
* [[Noodle Incident]]:
** Due to Abed's aversion to doctors, the group had to prevent him from removing his own tonsils.
** As with "[[Community/Recap/S2
* [[Out of Focus]]: Lampshaped when Pierce doesn't get a "crazy-town banana pants" flashback and later complains that he isn't in most of the stories.
* [[Psycho Psychologist]]: {{spoiler|Garrett}} withholds treatment to see what reactions he can elicit by playing mind games with his patients.
Line 107:
** Both of the psychiatrist's "revelations" about Greendale {{spoiler|that they were in an asylum the whole time and that they were trapped in purgatory}} were two of the more popular fan theories about the crash survivors in ''[[Lost]]''. The asylum setting homages ''[[Shutter Island]]''.
*** "We have to go back" are Arc Words used in ''[[Lost]]''
** "Dr. Heidi" might be a reference to "[[The Human Centipede|Dr. Heiter]]".
** Chang shocking himself with the Taser while shouting ''"You're WEAK!"'' is similar to a scene in ''[[The Da Vinci Code]]''.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Annie once again looks very taken with Abed's "[[Mad Men|Don Draper]]" impression. Their kiss in the Season 2 finale is also called back to {{spoiler|as seen in the Greendale Asylum scenes}}.
Line 114:
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: Lampshaded by the psychiatrist regarding the Study Group.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: [http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rf3p0t2X1r2luwko1_1280.jpg Dr. Heidi, PsyD]
* [[Take That]]:
** Dr. Heidi's example of a shared delusion is the swing dance music revival in [[The Nineties]].
** To director Brett Ratner.
Line 129:
{{quote|'''Troy:''' I knew it!
'''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.
** Funny enough, there had been SEVERAL roles written for John Hodgman in the past (including City College Dean Spreck) that HE had to pull out of.
* [[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]]:
