* HammerAndSickleRemovedForYourProtection: Lukka is presumably Serbian, but the episode seems to want to avoid specifying which faction he fought for in UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars. Therefore, he's only ever described as being from, "the Balkans."

* EverythingIsRacist: When the boys Chang brought to Jeff's apartment insist that their mother's name isn't Shirley, it's Laquanda, Chang immediately says "That's racist!" before [[DoubleTake suddenly realizing]] that he's just made a huge mistake.

** If you're paying attention, you'll be able to notice ahead of time that the kids Chang brought to the apartment aren't played by the same actors who played Shirley's kids in previous episodes. It's only at the end of the scene where it's revealed that this is ''not'' a case of TheOtherDarrin and Chang accidentally kidnapped a stranger's kids.

* BalkanBastard: Lukka's skill at Troy and Abed's [[UltraSuperDeathGoreFestChainsawer3000 unnervingly realistic war game]] is not a coincidence. He did it for real [[UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars back home]], and he looks back on it with nostalgia.
