Line 9:
----
== The ''[[Community]]'' episode "Modern Warfare" provides examples of
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: The [[Overly Narrow Superlative|best]] [[Paintball Episode|paintball-based]] [[Satire, Parody, Pastiche]] of [[Post Apocalyptic]] and [[Heroic Bloodshed]] [[Overly Narrow Superlative|action movies since]] ''[[Spaced]]''.
* [[After the End]]: The majority of "Modern Warfare" takes place after Dean Pelton announced the prize to the school's paintball competition, causing almost all of the students to destroy each other almost immediately.
{{quote|'''Garrett:''' '''"Over"'''?! This is not ''over!'' This is ''still happening!'' '''Right now!'''}}
** It should be noted that "almost immediately" means that the school is a paint-soaked wasteland in ''under an hour''.
* [[Almost Kiss]]: [[Double Subverted]] with Jeff and
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Jeff, Britta, Abed and Shirley near the end.
* [[Badass Crew]]: The study group as a whole, for surviving as long as they did in such hellish conditions.
Line 30:
* [[Deader Than Disco]]: The first scene features a guy roller-skating through the hallway in an orange tracksuit and an afro. Jeff references this trope.
* [[Defensive Feint Trap]]: The Chess Club ambushes people by having one member step into a room then immediately run out, where three more wait outside the door. Right before they fall into the trap, Jeff realizes that "[[Incredibly Lame Pun|He's a pawn...]]"
* [[Disco Dan]]: "Post-ironic [[The Simpsons (animation)|Disco Stu]]" and his [[Gang of Hats]].
* [[The Dragon]]: Chang, for the Dean. He even has his own El Tigre tiger striped paintball gun. And dual gold handguns. {{spoiler|And room-painting suicide bomb.}}
* [[Dueling Shows]]: Several more stabs at [[Glee]].
Line 50:
* [[Gangsta Style]]: A continuity goof has Britta holding a gun [[Gangsta Style]] whenever the camera's on her and right way up when it's [[Over the Shoulder]].
* [[Genre Savvy]]: For once, it's not Abed. Jeff anticipates Britta's [[Firefly|sudden, but inevitable betrayal]].
* [[Gunpoint Banter]]: Between Jeff and Britta during the [[Mexican Standoff]] in the men's room. [[Lampshade
* [[Guns Akimbo]]: Annie, Britta and Shirley. For some reason, none of the other guys do except for Senor Chang, in his role as [[The Dragon]], who pulls out dual [[Bling Bling Bang|gold plated guns]] after his paintball machine gun runs out.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The study group encounters the glee club, an [[Expy]] for the cast of ''[[Glee]]''. After the study group defeats them, Jeff tells them "Write some original songs!" In February
* [[Homage]]: Tons.
** The "ONE HOUR LATER" scene where Jeff wakes up echoes the same scene in [[28 Days Later]]. It also has quite a similar feel to the ending of the first Resident Evil film.
Line 87:
* [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore]]: Said by Abed after {{spoiler|Jeff and Britta have sex}}.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Abed's realization at the men's room urinal when he sees fresh green paint roll down, {{spoiler|highlighting the paintball outline of the previous users [[Camping a Crapper|who got trapped there]].}}
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Subverted; when he learns that the prize is priority registration, in line with this trope Jeff's initial reaction is to scoff "is ''that'' all?"
* [[Outrun the Fireball|Out Run The Paintball]]: When {{spoiler|Senor Chang reveals his contingency plan}}.
* [[Paintball Episode]]
* [[Playing the Heart Strings]]: Abed and Shirley's outro.
* [[The Power of Trust]]: Played with; the nature of 'The Prize' means that everyone will eventually turn on each other in order to get
* [[Pre-Climax Climax]]: Parodied with Jeff and Britta's hook-up.
* [[Pre-Mortem One-Liner]]: To the Chess Club:
