History Recap / CommunityS1E11ThePoliticsOfHumanSexuality

-->'''Annie:''' Now that I got a good look at one, I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's a giant thumb in a turtleneck. Whoop-dee-doo!

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When it's revealed that the free condoms provided by the sex fair are faulty, Dean Pelton panics at the thought of a [[IncrediblyLamePun rash]] of [=STD=]s and pregnancies resulting from this, and orders Abed to run to his office and make an announcement to prevent this. The announcement Abed chooses to make:

* CondescendingCompassion: The school counsellor, on learning of Annie's issues around sexuality, treats her with smarmy condescension and thinly-veiled superiority in the guise of trying to help her overcome them, which eventually results in her basically trying to passive-aggressively bully Annie into saying the word 'penis'.

* ShoutOut: The arm wrestling scene is a reenactment of the climax from ''Film/OverTheTop''.

* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Troy takes his time admitting that Abed is the better athlete of them both while the dean is impatiently waiting for one of them to run to his office and make an announcement about the broken condoms.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: When it's revealed that the free condoms provided by the sex fair are faulty, Dean Pelton panics at the thought of a [[IncrediblyLamePun rash]] of [=STD=]s and pregnancies resulting from this, and orders Abed to run to his office and make an announcement to prevent this. The announcement Abed chooses to make:

* ActorAllusion: Abed being in better shape than Troy at the end of their sprint is one to Danny Pudi being a marathon runner.

* HighClassCallGirl: Pierce's girlfriend Doreen is an escort. Curiously (considering this is Pierce we're discussing), he ''doesn't'' have to pay for a date with her. [[spoiler: At least initially.]]
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Doreen seems to be a very pleasant, likable and wise woman who offers Jeff some valuable advice. [[spoiler: She does dump Pierce and then make him pay to continue the date they'd arranged, but considering this is Pierce we're talking about that's hardly unjustifiable. Even then she gives him a fairly good discount.]]

* OfCourseImNotAVirgin: In the run-up to the safe sex fair, Annie panics because she's never seen a penis before. Britta and Shirley, naturally assumes this means she's a virgin. We're treated to a brief lull in the action as Annie explains that her first boyfriend would only ever have sex in the dark. [[spoiler:He turned out to be gay.]]
** Later in that episode, [[spoiler:the girls attempt to sneak into Dean Pelton's office to see the mannequin's anatomically correct penis.]]

** This takes on a whole other dimension when you find out that the actress who plays Annie, Alison Brie, [[http://www.nerve.com/love-sex/true-stories/true-stories-homosexual-schmomosexual actually had this experience]], albeit in a very different context.
** Warning: DO NOT read this unless [[RunningGag you feel comfortable sexualizing Annie. She is pretty young, after all]].

** Inverted; Pierce is in a non-business relationship with Doreen. [[spoiler: Initially.]]

** On the other hand, this could be interpreted genuinely by asexuals and people who abstain from sex for religious reasons. It's nice to see a sitcom [[DiscussedTrope discuss]] the ever-present EverybodyHasLotsOfSex trope (and have a character who is proud to not express herself sexually just because everyone else is). [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YMMV YMMV.]]
*** Or just anybody who's like Annie because that's just their personality.

-->The Dean needs to know he can trust me - we have to break into his office.

* ActorAllusion: Abed being in better shape than Troy at the end of their sprint is one to Danny Pudi being a marathon runner.
* ActorSharedBackground: The story of Annie's awkward first time with a guy who later turned out to be gay is apparently based on an actual experience Alison Brie had.
