Added DiffLines:

* HypocriticalHumor: To celebrate Green Week, the Dean prints out 5,000 posters changing the name of the school to Envirodale. When it's pointed out that they're already named '''Green'''dale, he orders all 5,000 posters to be reprinted with Greendale. This is of course a huge waste of paper, defeating the point of Green Week's GreenAesop.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Annie fails to hear Chang quietly mutter that the test is finished. This leads to the following, and increasingly disproportionate, chain of events:

* [[EekAMouse Eek A Rat]]: Apparently Troy has a fear of rats.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Dean watching buff men dressed as dalmatians on the internet. "[[Recap/CommunityS1E25PascalsTriangleRevisited This better not awaken anything in me]]"
* GreenAesop: Parodied; the Dean decides to celebrate Green Week and announces that he's changed the name of the college to Envirodale, only to be told the school is already named '''Green'''dale. The Dean then orders the 5,000 leaflets he's had printed with "Envirodale" on it destroyed, and another 5,000 printed up with Greendale in them.

** In TheTag of "Environmental Science," Pierce behaves like Michael Corleone in the restaurant scene from ''Film/TheGodfather'', shooting Troy and Abed in the face with a water pistol filled with pepper water, then dropping the gun as he leaves.
** Abed and Troy's mouse is named after Fievel Mousekewitz, one of the characters in the movie ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'', in which he sings "Somewhere Out There", the song Abed and Troy sing to lure their mouse out.

* JerkassHasAPoint: It's Starburns who points out the needlessness of changing the name "Greendale" to "Envirodale."



* MoralMyopia: Jeff is asked to approach Senor Chang on behalf of the group and get him to call off some of the ridiculously harsh amounts of homework he's been setting. Chang, bonding with Jeff over his recent separation from his wife, agrees to call it off -- but only for Jeff. Jeff goes along with this, and when the other members of the group learn this and angrily call him out over it Jeff initially acts as if ''he's'' the one who's being wronged.
* ItMakesSenseInContext: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSNwmqY9cCU This clip]] is one of the show's most popular on Website/YouTube, if not ''the'' most popular outside the Troy-Abed tag scenes at the end of each episode. In it, Troy and Abed sing "[[WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail Somewhere Out There]]" at Fievel in a vent; Chang does an Irish tango kind of thing, screams, and starts making out with his wife as Jeff silently watches; and Shirley talks very slowly about OrgasmicallyDelicious brownies in front of a mesmerized class (and briefly impersonates Creator/JackNicholson from ''Film/TheShining''), while Pierce waves a sandwich in the air.
* NeverSuicide: Jeff reminds the group not believe the suicide note tagged to his body if his talk with Chang turned bad.
* OrgasmicallyDelicious: In her public speaking assignment Shirley calls out this trope by name.

* SherlockScan: Jeff uses one to deduce Chang's wife left him ([[ClueEvidenceAndASmokingGun Chang wore the same shirt twice in a week, said that the Spanish word for "wife" meant "liar" in class, and has a post-it note saying "enjoy it while it lasts" on his office's framed photo of him and his wife]]). Jeff explains he used to read juries like this as an attorney, to figure out the best angles to use in court.
