* LargeHam: Professor Professorson[=/=]Woolley[=/=]Garrity, when revealing his true scheme. Then again, to be fair to the guy look at the dialogue he's been given, all taken from Dean Pelton's unpublished novel:

:: Eventually, it does in fact turn out to be a made up name.

* ProBonoBarter: Professor Garrity offered to pay back the Dean in acting for scraping his car.

* LikeAFishTakesToWater:

* ShipTease: Jeff/Annie: when Jeff tackles her to save her from the 'ExternalCombustion' example above, it ends with a ''very'' sexually-charged moment, particularly in light of the fact that he didn't need to tackle her in the first place. Annie later indicates that her confession of love to Jeff in the climatic confrontation got a bit more real than she'd expected, and when Fluffytown starts to collapse, the two instinctively lean closer into each other.

* AffectionateParody: Of ConspiracyThrillers. Includes a chase scene through Troy and Abed's blanket fort and a rather impressive GambitPileup.

** AesopAmnesia: And then Jeff comments that he's not exactly sure what lesson he's supposed to have learned.

*** Complete with a grown man in tiny underwear.

* InformedJudaism: Professor Professorson "My family name was Professorberg but we changed it when we were fleeing from the Nazis." Although actually his real name is Sean Garrity.

** Of course, it does in fact turn out to be a made up name.

-->'''Jeff:''' What the hell is this?
-->'''Troy:''' Latvian Independence Parade. [{{Beat}}] Don't look at me, they had the proper permits.

-->"Well guess what! [[AnnieGetYourGun Annie's got a gun!]]"

-->'''Abed:''' Wanna build a cardboard submarine?
-->'''Troy:''' Get outta my brain.

* AffectionateParody: The scene at the end where Jeff, Annie, and the Dean take it in turns to fool eachother - and the audience - is similar to an extended version the GambitPileup in ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' where Michael, GOB, and George Sr do the same thing

* ShoutOut: "Well guess what! [[AnnieGetYourGun Annie's got a gun!]]"

* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: The Dean just can't take it.

* ActorAllusion: Professor Professorson is played by Kevin Corrigan. Kevin also played Sam Weiss in the TV series ''Series/{{Fringe}}'', which for anyone unfamiliar with the show is currently being driven by a conspiracy theory in the plot (and has been for its entirety); the character, Sam Weiss is a part of it. Corrigan also starred as Uncle Eddie in ''GroundedForLife'', an episode of which prominently featured an epic blanket fort.

Would that this desk were a time desk, that I might correct my past mistakes... ride dinosaurs... fight with JackTheRipper...
