* LittleKidLover: Jeff draws negative attention by saying that Annie is "acting like a little schoolgirl, and not in a hot way."

* RuleAbidingRebel: Britta is [[DiscussedTrope called out]] on being one of these by the head of campus security.

* CutawayGag[=/=]GilliganCut[=/=]PaintingTheFourthWall

* DesignatedVillain: Annie Kim's only real crimes are being less friendly, and more arrogant and snide, than Annie Edison. Those aside, her behavior throughout the episode is generally better than her main-cast counterpart. This is arguably part of the point, since while she might be better behaved than the Annie we know and love, she lacks the humanizing qualities that enable us to sympathise with Annie despite her faults.

Annie acts pleased when she meets Annie Kim, a fellow student in her political science class and if anything a more determined overachiever. She's less than happy when the other Annie takes her idea of a Greendale model UN 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.

* LittleKidLover: Jeff draws negative attention by saying that Annie is "acting like a little schoolgirl, and not in a hot way." (Though the negative attention could also have been directed at Jeff calling Annie out on her behavior)

--> '''Abed''': Okay, fine. [[UnspokenPlanGuarantee Here's my actual plan]].
--> ''(cuts away to Chang in his office)''

-->'''Annie:''' But I like how close we are; I don't wanna grow up if it means losing what we have.\\
'''Jeff:''' Well, tough, Annie. You have to grow up because the world needs more women like you. Can't keep doin' this forever, kiddo.\\
[He takes her gently by the chin.]\\
'''Annie:''' Can't we?\\
[{{Beat}}]\\
'''Jeff:''' Nope. I can't. No. No.\\
