History Recap / CommunityS2E13CelebrityPharmacology

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: The study group put on an anti-drug show for a group of elementary school children, but the kids love Pierce's performance as "Drugs" so much it backfires. The situation is ultimately remedied by forcing Pierce to leave and replacing him with Chang.

* PlayingCyrano: Jeff tries to do this for Britta. [[HilarityEnsues Did not go well.]]
* ReplacementScrappy / TheOtherDarrin: An {{Invoked}} In-universe example. Pierce's character Drugs from the school play becomes the most [[DracoInLeatherPants popular character]], leaving a room-full of middle schoolers shouting for "Drugs." The gang re-casts Drugs as Chang, so the audience will hate the character.

* GenreSavvy: Abed, as per usual. He knew from the very beginning that Jeff PlayingCyrano for Britta wasn't going to end well. When Jeff realizes that he screwed things up and comes to Abed for help, Abed just stares at him silently.
