* '''Inverted''': Andy says that ''{{Seinfeld}}'' is nothing like ''HS''.

* '''Deconstructed''': Andy does such a poor job at explaining that when Brenda watches it, she goes in with the wrong expectations and thus dislikes the show. The same goes for Charlie, Darlene, Ezekiel, Fran, etc. Sure is a shame that he's the one promoting it...
* '''Reconstructed''': Andy then talks about how ''HS'' '''isn't''' like Seinfeld, and does a better job at explaining it.

* '''Enforced''': "Hey, you know what people like? People like ''{{Seinfeld}}''! Make it sound like that, different!"
