Line 69:
* [[Ironic Echo]]: When throwing his weight around to Vice-Dean Laybourne, the Dean demands to know 'wassup'. Later, upon being confronted with the true power of the Air-Conditioning Repair Annex, the Dean is informed in no uncertain terms by Laybourne precisely 'wassup', and ''he's'' a lot more intimidating.
* [[Irony]]: Jeff's dream shows just how much he wants everything to be more "calm and normal." But in this episode, it's mainly him disrupting the calm and bringing the crazy.
* [["I Want" Song]]: ''We're gonna get more calm and normal! We're gonna fix our state of mind!''
* [[Large Ham]]: Chang is seen carrying an actual large ham, for no apparent reason other than to lampshade that he ''is'' one.
* [[Metaphorgotten]]: The Dean has put a ''lot'' of thought into what he'd do if he was running a monkey hotel.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Abed was in a funk to begin after learning [[Cougar Town]] wouldn't premier until midseason, but he was still functioning. Britta's intervention puts him into a complete catatonic state.
* [[Not So Different]]: Jeff and Pierce. Jeff's breakdown over the episode is a mini-version of the character arc Pierce underwent over the previous season, and he begins to be ostracised from the group for the same reasons they ostracised Pierce.
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]
Line 82:
* [[Reality Subtext]]: There seems to be more than a few references to having less money to spend on the show.
** Also parodied in the opening musical number, which seems like a desperate plea to get more "mainstream" viewers, but is actually Jeff's utopian vision of a year without Pierce.
* [[Precision F -Strike]]: ''Averted'' in "Biology 101". A furious Jeff cuts himself off ''right'' before he tells Pierce to "shut the ____ up".
* [[Scary Black Man]]: Prof. Kane is very intense.
* [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules]]: As Jeff says, Professor Kane never took a bribe in his life.
* [[Serious Business]]: The fact that ''[[Cougar Town]]'' is delayed to mid-season nearly provokes a mental breakdown in Abed. The fact that its [[Trans Atlantic Equivalent|British counterpart]] [[British Brevity|only lasted six episodes]] sends him into a catatonic state.
* [[Ship Tease]]: The biggest one would be Jeff/Annie, but Abed/Annie, and Abed/Britta are also hinted at.
Line 90:
* [[Shout Out]]:
** The name ''[[Cougar Town|Cougarton Abbey]]'' is one for ''[[Downton Abbey]]''.
** [[Kill 'Em All|The ending of]] ''[[Cougar Town|Cougarton Abbey]]'' is one to ''[[Black Adder]]''
** ''[[Inspector Spacetime]]'' is one to ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]''.
** In Jeff's psychotropic-induced meltdown is one for the ending of 2001:[[A Space Odyssey]], the upright study-room table as the [[The Monolith]] .
Line 101:
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: ''[[Inspector Spacetime]]'' somehow manages to look even cheaper than ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' ever could even on it's lowest budgets.
* [[Subject 101]]: Biology 101
* [[Suicide As Comedy]]: [[Kill 'Em All|The ending of]] ''[[Cougar Town|Cougarton Abbey]]''.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Turns out, Greendale's Air-Conditioning Repair Annex is where practically Greendale's entire budget comes from, and Vice-Dean Robert Laybourne has ''far'' more power and clout than Dean Pelton. As Dean Pelton unfortunately discovers.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Saying out loud that Pierce would never be coming back.
