* {{Hypocrite}}: Britta is indignant that her friends have been accepting money on her behalf from her parents, viewing it as [[DontYouDarePityMe condescending and paternalistic]] of them. They in-turn point out that, since she's been happy to sponge off them for years without showing any intention of ever paying them back, she's clearly not ''that'' adverse to surviving on the charity of others.

** Jeff yells at Britta to stop overreacting because there are bigger problems in the world, then turns around and sees Chang with a massively swollen hand and no idea how to get to the nurse and immediately dismisses it.

* RecursiveTranslation: The Portuguese Gremlins rip-off is called ''Joelho Alto Prejuízo Moral'', recursively translated from "Knee-High Mischief". As is often the case, the result is a mess. "Joelho alto" actually means "tall knee", "prejuízo moral" means something like "moral damages", indicating the translator used the criminal definition of "mischief".

** There is of course, the third option that Britta's parent's bring up themselves: They're both remembering the same events very differently and Britta is ascribing motivations to events (like her cat running away) that were never actually there because of how upset she was and looking for someone to blame.

* EasilyForgiven / KarmaHoudini: Britta's parents. They were unreasonably strict and cruel, doing things like siding with the man who sexually assaulted her as a child (see {{Retcon}} below), forcing her to take a drug test at age 11 because she was "laughing too much," and letting her pet cat run away as a punishment for her having tasted alcohol. Even in the present day, they laugh in her face when she brings all of these incidents up, stating that they "don't remember" and making a joke about Woodstock instead of acknowledging their wrongs. In spite of all this, however, Abed and Annie side with Britta's parents from the beginning, saying that they've changed, and after talking to Frankie, Britta simply lets all of this go without so much as a proper apology from her parents.

** ZigZagged as, while the episode seems to treat Britta's hatred for her parents as juvenile and borne of an adolescent opposition to authority, earlier episodes implied something much darker that would certainly justify her anger toward both them and her friends. See {{Retcon}} below.
** In addition to this, while Annie's confusion is understandable as she has no context, Abed also knows about the incident, as Evil Abed manipulates Britta into telling him about it in [[Recap/CommunityS3E22IntroductionToFinality Introduction to Finality]]. In spite of that, he seems to not even think of it as a possible explanation for Britta's behavior, which is bizarre as Abed is shown multiple times to have an excellent memory, and has had his own issues with an emotionally absent father [[Recap/CommunityS1E03IntroductionToFilm that Britta helped him through]].
