* TheQuisling: Pierce offers to give any information about Jeff Winger to Dean Spreck in exchange for not being shot. They turn out to be only things that Pierce made up to make Jeff seem gay, and not anything of real tactical value.
* TheUnfought: [[spoiler: Justified in this case with Dean Spreck. While he did mastermind the whole game as part of his BatmanGambit, he couldn't enroll in the school himself and thus wasn't part of the game just like the Dean.]]

[[WarWasBeginning Greendale is at war]]. The school has been all but destroyed by its own students, all playing paintball to win the $100,000 prize offered by Pistol Patty's Ice Creamery. But "Pistol Patty" is really Dean Spreck of City College, who has unleashed this scheme to destroy the Greendale campus and has employed ringers such as the Black Rider and his stormtrooper-esque White Clones -- all of whom have been enrolled at Greendale for weeks -- to ensure he doesn't have to pay out the prize. The only hope for saving the school is for one of its students to win the prize and donate it to the school, so the Study Group assembles a [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits ragtag bunch of misfit students]] to fight back, stop Dean Spreck and save Greendale Community College.

* SeriousBusiness: Paintball was ''already'' SeriousBusiness at Greendale, but somehow [[BeyondTheImpossible this episode managed to make it even serious-er]].

* AirVentEscape: Would've been attempted by Troy's squad, had [[RealityEnsues Garrett not gotten stuck in the duct]].

** [[Recap/CommunityS2E04BasicRocketScience The anus flag]] is still flying proudly at Greendale.

* ShoutOut: Too many ''StarWars'' ones to count.
** Also ones to war movies. Britta sees people getting "killed" in slow motion like ''SavingPrivateRyan''. Troy poses like Willem Dafoe in ''{{Platoon}}''

* [[JumpingOnAGrenade Jumping on a Paint Grenade]]: Alas, poor [[spoiler:Magnetic Attitude]], we hardly knew ye.

--> '''Jeff''': Paint? In sprinklers? Are we ''TheLittleRascals''?
--> '''Leonard''': I was.

But if you need to explain it to your men I will understand!\\
