* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Annie's UsefulNotes/StockholmSyndrome prevents her from realizing the Dean's SanitySlippage until she explains it to herself:
-->"Shut your face, Britta. If the Dean wants his role to be played by a Chinese man in a blond wig--Oh my god, you are insane."

Shirley lampshades that he made the right decision from the get-go. though he does get yelled at by Jeff Garlin at the end of the episode.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: Pierce manages to avoid getting sucked into the madness of Dean Pelton's commercial simply because he was so angry at the production's lack of catering that he locks himself in a trailer away from the set.



* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]: Shirley is apparently the only person in the school -- and certainly the only member of the study group other than Abed -- who manages to remain sane during the entire affair.

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Jeff asks to film all of his scenes as Dean Pelton in front of a statue of Luis Guzmán, in the hopes that it would result in the actor suing him and cutting out all his scenes. Instead, Guzmán asks if he can ''star in the commercial himself'', which not only causes the Dean to completely go off the deep end, but also forces Jeff into a much bigger role than before.



* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Normally Britta is fine with Jeff getting insulted. She realizes that the Dean went too far, however, in making him cry. That's when she stands up to the Dean and quits because Jeff didn't deserve that.

To a lesser extent, Jeff himself calling Guzmán to warn him about the commercial out of his typical LaboriousLaziness tactics results in Guzmán offering his services.

The Dean is filming a new commercial for Greendale starring most of the study group while Abed makes a documentary about it. Famous alumnus Luis Guzmán agrees to be in it which causes the Dean to go overboard and over budget.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: [[DrunkWithPower In more ways than one]]; the Dean ends up convinced that the scene where Britta and Troy hug is intended to solve racism, which prompts him to drive them to nervous breakdowns by forcing them to repeatedly hug for twelve hours straight while screaming at them.

* AppealToConsequences:
-->'''Annie:''' The Dean had his seventh epiphany today, which has given me an epiphany of my own-- the Dean is a genius. He has to be. If he isn't, I've given almost two weeks of my life to an idiot! That is unacceptable. Therefore, the Dean ''is'' a genius and I ''will'' die protecting his vision.
