The most popular -- and only edible -- food in the Greendale campus cafeteria is the fried chicken fingers. Unfortunately, this means they're also frequently sold out before our heroes can get any to eat, and it doesn't help that Starburns, the cafeteria fry-cook, always holds some back to give to his friends to try increase his popularity. Jeff has decided that this is unacceptable, and convinces his friends to help him get Starburns fired and Abed hired as his replacement in order to make sure they get some.
Line 11:
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Of mafia movies; primarily ''[[Goodfellas]]'', but ''[[The Godfather (Film)|The Godfather]]'' also gets a few nods.
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Turns out that the cafeteria fry-cook could control the entire school by controlling the supply of chicken wings.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Don't take Godfather!Abed for granted. [[What Do You Mean
* [[Clothing Switch]]: The twist of Abed and Troy's "awesome elevator" trick in [[The Tag]].
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: Part of the movie's homage of ''[[Goodfellas]]'' includes referencing "Layla" for the 'study group getting punished' montage.
Line 17:
* [[Dramatic Irony]] / [[Hilarious in Retrospect]]: Jeff tries to convince Abed to go along with his plan by saying that he would get the most important job of all, the fry cook. Abed voices his doubts about it being the most important. But as the rest of the episode proves, it really was.
* [[Drunk With Power]]: The study group gets increasingly spoiled and obnoxious the more powerful they get. Curiously enough, however, Abed himself seems more Drunk With Actually Getting To Connect With People For Once.

* [[Informed Wrongness]]: Apparently the group thinks that telling Shirley Sexy-Dreadlocks had an interest in her, when in reality he had no idea who she was, was the right thing to do. While Abed may have pointed out the truth a [[Brutal Honesty|bit too bluntly]], it still seems better than falsely leading Shirley on. Naturally, YMMV on this part.
Line 28:
{{quote| '''Troy:''' He released Annie's Boobs! Annie's Boobs could be ''anywhere''! Annie's Boobs could be on the side of the ''road'' --<br />
'''Shirley:''' ''[Fed-up]'' We get it! The monkey's name is 'Annie's Boobs'. }}
* [[Ripped
* [[Serious Business]]: Greendale ''runs'' on chicken fingers.
* [[Scandalgate]]: The school newspaper has a headline which reads "Star-Gate!" and the subhead, "[[Lampshade Hanging|Headline in reference to Watergate,]] [[Stargate|not the 1994 sci-fi film]]."
Line 42:
** [[Genius Bonus]], as it's a British colloquial expression in [[Real Life]].
* [[Very Special Episode]]: Mentioned by Abed, but averted.
* [[Whole
