Annie is initially pleased when she meets Annie Kim, a fellow student in her political science class and if anything an even more determined overachiever. She's less happy when Other Annie takes her idea of a Greendale LARP/ModelUnitedNations and makes it official. Annie responds by forming her own model UN with the biology study group. Their teacher (guest star Martin Starr) approves the idea of a model UN face-off.

* [[invoked]]NamesTheSame: UsefulNotes/{{Georgia|USA}}. Troy knows it's [[UsefulNotes/GeorgiaEurope a country]], but uses a Southern accent [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments to hilarious results.]]
-->"Backyard barbeque!"
** That line is even funnier if you know how much Georgians (the country) are stereotyped as loving to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shashlik barbeque.]]

* AbsenteeActor: Jim Rash as Dean Pelton.

* ItIsPronouncedTroPAY:
** UsefulNotes/{{Uruguay}}, not "Ur-a-gay."
** Cligoris says that either CLI-goris or cli-GOR-is are acceptable.

* UnfortunateName: Cligoris, not that he seems to mind.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Professor Cligoris. Pushed closer to radar detection by the fact (see below) that the professor will happily respond to his name rhymed with '''either''' of the common pronunciations of the body part.

* AbsenteeActor: Jim Rash as Dean Pelton
* AbortedArc: This episode would seem to set up Annie Kim as a major antagonist to Annie, but she only makes two more brief appearances in the show.
* ActorAllusion: Troy representing Georgia and speaking with a Southern accent might be an example of this, since Donald Glover was raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
* AesopAmnesia: Britta apparently hasn't learned from way back in "Spanish 101" that her particular brand of 'activism' is basically just a flashy means of feeling good about herself.
* AlmostKiss: Jeff and Annie, during the HeldGaze mentioned below.
* AlternateUniverse: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] when Abed decides that there should be a second Earth to go with a second UN and Cligoris runs with it.

--> '''Britta:''' Yep, I'm gettin' serious! I got a backpack, I got a new notebook, I got one of those see-through yellow pens so I can do that thing where you color in the words...
--> '''Shirley:''' Highlight?
--> '''Britta:''' Probably the backpack.

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: After chastising Annie that she was "acting like a little schoolgirl but not in the hot way" during her FreakOut, Jeff appears to make an attempt to explain himself to everyone who heard him but just decided to go ScrewThisImOuttaHere.
* DiscriminateAndSwitch: Pierce, though it doesn't help the situation. He switches from racism to sexism. Then from sexism to racism.

-->'''Everybody''': What?
-->'''Pierce''': What? Not Asians... Women.

* [[DontExplainTheJoke Don't Explain The Symbolism]]: Britta explains every point of the weird visual "cage" metaphor to anyone who will listen.

* EvilTwin: More "jerkass twin" than "evil twin," but Annie Kim still counts. She possesses all of Annie's overachiever nature and obsession with winning, but without any of her humanizing or endearing qualities. Lampshaded, of course, by Jeff.

-->'''Pierce ''(admiring)'':''' An Asian Annie. Obama's America.

* FoeRomanceSubtext: Between Chang and Britta throughout the episode. It doesn't help that Music/LionelRichie's "Hello" keeps playing everytime they clash, and their final scene has Chang doing a BridalCarry to Britta.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Chang [[spoiler:letting slip that he plans to eventually turn on the Dean and take over the school]] seems like just another one-off gag... [[spoiler:until he does just that in "[[Recap/CommunityS3E18CourseListingUnavailable Course Listing Unavailable]]."]]

* FriendlyEnemy: Annie and Annie at least at first.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Professor Cligoris. Pushed closer to radar detection by the fact (see below) that the Professor will happily respond to his name rhymed with '''either''' of the common pronunciations of the body part.

* HeldGaze: Between Jeff and Annie during the couch scene where Jeff explains his reasons for being so protective of her and they both realize they need to grow up because their interest in each other doesn't fit the barriers they built for it anymore.

--> '''Prof. Cligoris:''' Ready, set, peace! ''(shoots gun)''

** Uruguay not Ur-a-gay.

--> '''Jeff''': My Annie gave this other Annie the idea and this diabolical little b--usybody stabbed her in the back.

* [[invoked]]NamesTheSame: Georgia. Troy knows it's a country but uses a Southern accent [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments to hilarious results.]]

* NWordPrivileges: Britta actually calls the study group "My N-words!" instead of using the word. It's [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when Troy and Shirley display offense anyway, prompting a hasty apology.

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Jeff spends a ''long'' moment denying that Annie and he are in a relationship to Annie Kim.
* ShipTease:

** Cligoris deals a pretty harsh hit to the usefulness of the United Nations.
-->'''Cligoris:''' A logical, effective, common-sense move, Annie Kim. One which flies in the very face of the United Nations itself--a fundamentally symbolic organization founded on the principles of high-minded rhetoric and empty gestures.
** Jeff makes a similar criticism.
-->'''Jeff:''' I think the real lesson here is that a model UN, much like the real UN, quickly falls apart when faced with actual-- ''(Annie interrupts by freaking out)''

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Subverted, and not with the word "bitch," but the same principal applies. When Britta is ranting about wanting to get back down to her activist roots, she discovers that she does not have NWordPrivileges.
-->'''Britta:''' Maybe my path is a war path that leads to the Terrordome, n-words! ''(Looks over to Shirley and Troy who are clearly offended.)'' Okay, maybe I went too far. Maybe I don’t want to offend my African-American friends. But the larger point is, maybe I’m not done raging against the machine!

* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Abed attempts to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this with his plan to win the UN competition. The trope is lampshaded by Jeff, [[BetterThanABareBulb and then immediately played arrow-straight]].

'''Abed''': Okay fine. Here's my actual plan:\\
''(Scene cuts away)''

-->'''Jeff:''' I think the lesson here is clear. A model UN, just like the real UN, quickly falls apart when faced with an actual crisis-(Annie freakout)

--> '''Britta:''' I got one of those see-through yellow pens so I can do that thing where you color in the words.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Britta during her passionate speech, with Abed giving a brief MaleGaze.

* MaleGaze: During Britta's ChewingTheScenery speech, Abed is briefly seen gazing at her hand gestures, or rather [[{{Gainaxing}} what her hands are blocking]]. There are also several shots focusing on Annie's [[ShesGotLegs legs]] throughout the episode, per usual.

** Abed is briefly seen giving Britta a MaleGaze.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Professor Cligoris.
