* TheGreatPoliticsMessUp:
-->'''Kickpuncher Narrator:''' It is the year 2006 A.D. and nuclear war has ravaged the planet.\\
'''Abed:''' Must have missed that.

* RealityEnsues: Jeff and Britta try to manipulate Annie into being interested in Troy, who is closer to her age, a NiceGuy, and her first crush. It doesn't work because Annie has decided to move on from an unrequited crush and doesn't want her friends parenting her.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Britta is wearing Grade C leather boots, which Annie later mocks.

* BerateAndSwitch: Troy when learning that Abed is planning to watch ''Kickpuncher''. Turns out it's SoBadItsGood.

** All in the scene [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the show's various potential couples mentioned under CrackPairing:

* {{Callback}}:

* ActorAllusion: The only way [[ChevyChase Pierce]] can get a laugh is to ''[[Series/SaturdayNightLive take a massive tumble across the room.]]''

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: As to whether or not Annie dating Vaughn is a good idea. Jeff makes the apt point that she is the BabyOfTheBunch and if she dates an older guy, it potentially makes her prey to the creeps on campus. Not helped by Starburns saying he wants to date Annie next. Annie, of course, has a legitimate point that Britta and Jeff aren't her parents, and they can't dictate what she does or who she does because she's an adult and has to learn to make her own mistakes after leaving rehab. Jeff concedes on seeing how hurt Annie is by his and Britta's actions.

* BerateAndSwitch: Troy when learning that Abed is plannign to watch ''Kickpuncher''. Turns out it's SoBadItsGood.

* FightSceneFailure: Invoked with [[TheresNoBInMovie the incredibly cheesy film]] that the study group watches on their movie night, "[[StylisticSuck Kickpuncher]]". Even more so in the FanFilm Abed and Troy make.

* TheresNoBInMovie: ''[[ShowWithinAShow Kickpuncher]]''. "[[ExtyYearsFromNow It is the year 2006 and nuclear war has ravaged the planet...]]"

* HeldGaze: During the ShipTease "suggestive glances" scene at the study table, Jeff holds Annie's gaze for a long moment with an expression of tenderness and contentment in his face. Annie notices his stare and looks back, melting a little under his adoring stare before Jeff breaks it, obviously feeling like he's giving himself away.

* CrackPairing: In-Universe. "Romantic Expressionism" parodies this with a long sequence of ShipTease suggestive glances between all of the characters. In order, it goes: [[DecemberDecemberRomance Pierce/Shirley]], [[FirstGirlWins Jeff/Britta]], Abed/Britta, [[LesYay Britta (gasp!)/Annie (gasp!)]], [[TokenMinorityCouple Troy/Shirley]], [[HighschoolSweethearts Troy/Annie]], [[MayDecemberRomance Pierce/Annie]], [[FanPreferredCouple Jeff/Annie]], [[HoYay Jeff/Abed]].

* ManipulativeBastard: Jeff & Britta
-->'''Jeff:''' Crash course in manipulation. You don't actually tell the person what you want them to do. You help them realize they want to do it, so it can't be traced back to you.

-->'''Abed:''' When you guys first came in, we were as wholesome as the family in ''TheBradyBunch''. Now we’re as dysfunctional and incestuous as the cast of ''TheBradyBunch''.
