History Recap / CommunityS2E21ParadigmsOfHumanMemory

'''Troy:''' You can yell at me all you want, I’ve seen enough movies to know that popping the back of a raft makes it go faster!

* ADateWithRosiePalms:
-->'''Troy:''' Didn't we decide at the beginning of the year that for the good of the group we wouldn't allow any intimacy with each other or ourselves?\\
'''Jeff:''' Troy, we never said "ourselves".\\
'''Troy:''' ...Okay. ''Now'' I am ''really'' mad.

* BottleEpisode: Stunningly [[InvertedTrope inverted]] (and quite possibly the only example to date). Most {{Clip Show}}s are employed so as to save production money and time, with very little money spent on taping and writing new material, the ClipShow is usually a type of BottleEpisode. This episode spoofs the very nature of a ClipShow by having the acutual clips be a bunch of [[NoodleIncident Noodle Incidents]] to a variety of locations and situations never actually seen in the series. Financially, this episode was expensive, even to the point that [[WordOfGod Dan Harmon himself paid for the Sara Barellis song]] to be used in the ShippingGoggles portion of the episode. Interestingly the episode after this one is a true BottleEpisode because of the expensiveness of this episode as well as the season finale.

** The only part that Abed remembers about the [[ZombieApocalypse Halloween party]] was [[spoiler: Jeff and Britta going in for a quickie]]. The scene was not planned nor filmed originally during the production of "[[Recap/CommunityS2E06Epidemiology Epidemiology]]" - The costumes and scenery had to be remade.

* {{Prospector}}: In the first flashback a shotgu n wielding one nearly shoots the study group.

-->[[spoiler: '''Jeff''': It's not you, it's-\\
'''Britta''': It's you.]]

** Abed and Pierce[[spoiler: as a means to sink the Jeff/Annie ship.]]

->'''Pierce''': You want examples? Okay we'll give you examples. Troy, drop a beat.
->'''Troy''': No.

! The ''{{Community}}'' episode "Paradigms of Human Memory" provides examples of:

* Jeff asked Chang how many vents he is going to crawl out this year. Chang crawled out of an air vent in a police station in [[Recap/CommunityS2E18CustodyLawAndEasternEuropeanDiplomacy Custody Law and Eastern European Diplomacy]].

* ComplainingAboutThingsYouHaventPaidFor: "There is no such thing as a free Caesar salad".

''Everyone else in the room quickly avoids eyecontact with him.''

* GotVolunteered: The rest of the group other than Britta and Jeff since they did not step forward "and are clearly innocent".

** The Dean's costume montage has references to TinaTurner, ''Film/{{Catwoman}}'', and ''GoneWithTheWind''.

* RousingSpeech: Jeff's tendency to do this is parodied with a speech at the end composed of flashbacks to fragments of other speeches inspired by the {{Noodle Incident}}s seen in the rest of the episode. The result is a confused, contradictory and glorious mess which nevertheless works perfectly as a 'Jeff' speech.

Interestingly the episodes before and after this one are true [[BottleEpisode Bottle Episodes]] because of the expensiveness of this episode as well as the season finale.

*** And they miss the premier because of the revolution in Tunisia. Thanks, Britta.

* LarynxDissonance: The Dean voices every character in his cartoon, so this shows up in full force for Britta's one line.

** The Dean's costume montage has references to ''{{Catwoman}}'' and ''GoneWithTheWind''.

* AirVentEscape: Played straight; Chang crawls through the ducts to retrieve Annie's Boobs' stash. It should be noted that Chang is the smallest one of them and even so he had to apply a thick layer of Vaseline.
