'''Jeff:''' Maybe you should tell him you're hopelessly in love with him. ''[Annie is stunned]'' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion High school must have been tough, huh?]] Waiting for a superstar to notice you. But ''here'', he's all alone, and he needs ''so much'' help! Did you enroll in ''all'' of his classes, or were you worried [[StalkerWithACrush that might freak him out]]? The important thing is that you are ''there'' for him. The ''important'' thing is that you are the ''only'' one there for him. And you don't really care what he wants, just as long as you don't have to share him with the rest of the world. Because ''really'', you're just as selfish as I am. You're just not as good at it yet.\\

* ShipTease: This is the first episode to focus on Jeff and Annie spending time together apart from the rest of the group for any length of time, and the chemistry is immediate. Also, when they see the Greendale [[UncannyValley Human]] [[NightmareFuel Being]] for the first time and have no idea what they're looking at, Jeff's gut reaction seems to be to protect Annie from it by pulling her out of its reach, even as he's freaking out just as badly as she is.

*Hypocrite: see the examples below.
** When Annie calls Jeff out on this, for convincing Troy to play football after previously berating the Dean for trying to recruit Troy, Jeff calls Annie herself out on this for selfishly trying to keep Troy to herself, to satisfy her long-running infatuation and desire for Troy's attention, and admits that while he may be a hypocrite, he's more honest about it and is simply better at selfishness than her.



* SubvertedPunchline: When Pierce mentions the only black hole worth studying, the camera focuses on Shirley but then he goes on to talk about Sagittarius A.

* HypocriticalHumor: The science teacher starts ranting when someone's phone rings in her class... until she realizes it's hers, at which point she proceeds to interrupt the class to chat up the guy on the other end. She then asks to borrow a pen off someone, clearly not having one of her own, and then chews out the person she asks when they also don't have one.

-->"And I just wanna jump out of my car, run up the steps, and exploit the legal system for profit."

* {{Metaguy}}: The first time Abed's role as this is being discussed.
-->'''Jeff:''' Abed, it makes the group uncomfortable when you talk about the group like we're characters in a show you're watching.\\
'''Abed:''' That's sort of my gimmick, but we did lean on that pretty hard last week. I can lay low for an episode.



* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Jeff delivers a ''really'' nasty one to Annie after she discovers his role in persuading Troy to rejoin the football team:
-->'''Annie:''' Britta's right; you're the most selfish person alive! And all that is going to end right now, because I'm telling him what kind of friend you ''really'' are.\\

'''Annie:''' ''[Hurt]'' You're right. [[ShutUpHannibal I could never be as good as you. Probably because I actually care.]]\\
'''Jeff:''' ''[Flippantly]'' Profound, but ultimately meaningless. ''[Upset, Annie storms off]'' And don't bother trying that thing that women do when they walk away and make the guy feel like crap because it's not going to happen! Yeah! ''[Guilty]'' Damn it!
