This Web Series provides examples of:
- Bottle Episode: Episode 2, "Snowed In", near exclusively takes place in the school library, and literally deals with the students being trapped there. Somewhat subverted, as the library set has not been seen before or since.
- Bowdlerise: Nicole's school put on a version of The Sound of Music. Without Nazis.
- Creator Cameo: In Episode 4, one of the show's creators appears as a newscaster in a flashback.
- Election Day Episode: Rob Dole acts like this since the pilot. Most people ignore him.
- Establishing Character Moment: Kim is introduced narrating the weird goings-on, Nicole is introduced trying to befriend Kim and talking about her own boyfriend and their Greek life, Charlie is introduced by pulling out a wand from her hair and talking about a lizard conspiracy, Rob is introduced by narrating his platform and ignoring what Kim says, and the Adams is introduced by not caring where people sit. The school even gets into it, the first teacher - Biology- is introduced by doing a "Syllabus Rap".
- Expy: By
Word of God, Kim is essentially a Gender Flip of Jim Halpert from The Office (US). Even her last name is Halpert.- Episode 4 makes a passing reference to a pop sensation "Maya Iowa", which is a pretty obvious reference to Hannah Montana.
- Frat Bro: With his tank tops, backwards caps, and love of all things frat, Nick certainly comes across like this.
- Gender-Blender Name: Charlie, the geek, is a girl.
- He Who Must Not Be Seen: Whenever Kim narrates an episode, she's writing an email to an old friend. The friend is never seen or referenced outside of the emails, and the exact nature of their relationship is left unclear.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Kim's boyfriend from High School and early college. He dropped her when his book was getting big. He explicitly called her his "training wheels". This is after she was a big influence in helping him get his book together and off the ground.
- New Transfer Student: We find out why in "Kim's Backstory"
- Noodle Incident: Whenever Adams walks in, expect some story on what is going on. It usually involves wolves.
- Only Sane Man: Kim, who routinely comments on how things the other characters do don't make sense.
- Overly Long Name: The name of Nick's fraternity is often eight Greek letters or more, compared to most frats that are two or three. It's name also changes every time it's mentioned.
- Properly Paranoid: "Snowed In" implies Yeti are real. And Charlie was defending against them.
- Red Scare: invoked in Dole-lusion. Robert's parents are immigrants from the Soviet Union. It's also averted pretty quickly.
- Where the Hell Is Springfield?: It's called "Public University" with no state given. However, they film in Iowa State and the logo can been seen in the background and on other items.
