* AnAesop: Britta tries to frame paying the deaf girl to spoiler ''Bloodlines of Conquest'' for Abed as this when she realises he's incredibly upset by it:
-->'''Britta:''' You learned a lesson and I gave a differently-abled person a job!



* WrongGenreSavvy: Britta thinks that she's smart and smug by paying the Deaf Girl to deliver spoilers to Abed via sign language. Abed isn't in a mood to hear her EvilGloating, and he walks off just as she's transitioning to a reluctant apology on realizing that she actually hurt his feelings. He also makes it clear that RelationshipSabotage for a guy with NoSocialSkills is much worse than spoiling a show they both are watching, so what she did was disproportionate.

** Compared to the other, more cynical department heads, the head of the I.T department is also more innocent and apparently completely unaware of the system of backscratching that dominates Greendale interdepartmental relations ("I didn't realise it could work like that!")

** Jeff, Shirley and Duncan deciding to go along with Chang's suggestion for "Bear Down For Midterms" as the slogan for the dance only makes worse when a bear accident in Wisconsin makes headlines in the news, causing the other students berate them for supposedly being insensitive.


Added DiffLines:

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Chang shows a rare moment of vulnerability in this episode where he admits that while he is crazy, the Study Group's refusal to acknowledge him or take him seriously hurts him deep inside. It's enough to get Jeff, Duncan and Shirley to accept his proposal for "Bear Down For Midterms".

It's an intentional reversal. she is the spoiler for having successfully spoiled the show for Abed and she is saying she gets the victory

* SpitefulSpoiler: Britta's revenge scheme of the episode (after Abed spoils her about the show) is a quite Machiavellian example of this trope. It gets deconstructed when Abed makes clear, in just two words, that Britta hurt him a lot more than he hurt her (all he did was annoy her. She completely destroyed his friendship with someone).
--> '''Abed''': [''emotionally-destroyed deadpan''] "I'm devastated." [''walks out of the room'']

** Annie making deals that would get the billboard put up; she claims at the beginning that it's important for students who need to put up notices, such as carpools. Over the course of her efforts, she succeeds in throwing together deals that would get the billboard up sooner, but in the process, has to put the Parking Bureau in charge of billboards so they can stop carpools, rendering her efforts entirely meaningless.
