Line 15:
** 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 Britta -- they do the lean in while mocking the [[Florence Nightingale Effect]], and do a silly smooching act. Then they do it again, and ''[[Coitus Ensues|there]]'' [[Coitus Ensues|we go]].
* [[Back
* [[Badass Crew]]: The study group as a whole, for surviving as long as they did in such hellish conditions.
* [[Badass in A Nice Suit]]: Chang puts one on to take out Jeff and Britta.
* [[Battle Royale With Cheese]]: see [[Whole
* {{spoiler|[[Black Dude Dies First]]: Troy}} is the first of the study group to go down in the paintball game after {{spoiler|he}} "made God mad".
* [[Bling Bling Bang]]: The two gold-painted paintball guns Senor Chang uses in homage to [[Face Off|Face/Off]].
Line 91:
* [[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 it -- however, as with the study group, most of the people who make it furthest through the game do so by forming 'packs' with other people they trust to watch their backs.

* [[Pre Climax Climax]]: Parodied with Jeff and Britta's hook-up.

{{quote| '''Jeff:''' Checkmate, [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|bitches]]!}}
* [[Redemption Equals Death|Redemption Equals 'Death']]: {{spoiler|Britta makes up for her attempt to double-cross Jeff by sacrificing herself to defeat Chang.}}
* [[Reset Button]]: All that paint is cleaned up impossibly quickly at the end; the school looks pristine just a few hours after the game ended.
Line 113:
* [[Stereotype Flip]]: Chang takes a break from this to embrace being a [[John Woo]]-style [[Gun Fu]] badass.
* [[There Can Be Only One]]: Only the last man standing will receive the prize.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]:
** See [[Pre
** Also:
{{quote| '''Jeff:''' You're not even a student!<br />
Line 128:
* [[The Uriah Gambit]]: Jeff discovers the position of the Glee Club by telling Pierce [[Reverse Psychology|"not" to come over to him]].
* [[Wall Jump]]: Abed's ''[[The Matrix|Matrix]]''-style one, taking pride of place as the image at the top of this page.
* [[Whole
** ''[[Battle Royale]]'': A schoolmaster forces his students into a competition where they have to finish each other off one by one. He also enters a ringer who wishes to enter for fun, and one who has played the game before. At the end, {{spoiler|the last man standing breaks into his ivory tower and finishes him off}}.
** Which is also a very similar premise to ''The Condemned,'' ''[[The Running Man (Film)|The Running Man]]'', and ''[[Death Race (Film)|Death Race]]'', if you replace school students with prisoners...
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Discussed.
** [[They Do]]: Sarcastically teased, {{spoiler|then played straight}}.
