| 1 | * FridgeHorror: |
| 2 | ** Does the Dean simply own a copy of Jeff's underwear, or did he steal them from Jeff? |
| 3 | ** This may be a call back, since Dean Pelton was looking pretty closely at them during the billiards contest in "Physical Education." |
| 4 | *** And of course the previous episode showed that he's not above buying matching outfits. |
| 5 | * GeniusBonus: While Abed diagnoses Annie as having UsefulNotes/StockholmSyndrome, she is actually displaying a phenomenon psychologists would call "insufficient justification." It all starts when someone goes through a lot of effort/pain, and doesn't have a really good reason for why they did it, so they try to convince themselves otherwise. She's basically reducing her mental distress by convincing herself that the Dean is a genius, therefore justifying all the work she's done, since there wasn't any real reason for her suffering at all. |
| 6 | * HarsherInHindsight: Jeff Garlin yelling at a PA at the end of the episode is a lot less funny in light of his 2021 exit from ''Series/TheGoldbergs'' over alleged verbal abuse of the crew. |
| 7 | * RecycledPremise: A "brilliant", eccentric director evokes Marlon Brando in ''ApocalypseNow'', goes mad during filming his ''magnum opus'' project, and takes everyone along with him? Yes, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/AnimaniacsEpisode20 we've seen this before]].... |
| 8 | * SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: |
| 9 | ** Abed's talking-head shot about how a filmmaker can't always stay detached. |
| 10 | ** The scene where the group forgives the Dean seems like it's leading up to a joke, wherein the Dean says or does something inappropriate, or Jeff insults him... and instead, the group's acceptance is sincere, and they leave to help him deal with his possum problem. |
