The whole thing was more of a \'\'Hearts of Darkness\'\' reference than \"the \'\'Apocalypse Now\'\' episode\". Conrad\'s \'\'Heart Of Darkness\'\' is only related to the episode due to the \'\'Apocalypse Now\'\' connection.

* ICanExplain: The Dean, after the study group views his original trailer / nude emotional meltdown on camera:
-->'''Dean:''' Ugh, before you say anything... [[SubvertedTrope nope, I've got nothing.]] Can you just forgive me?



* ThePrimaDonna: Parodied; Pierce is outraged when he learns the commercial shoot won't be catered and announces he won't leave his trailer. When he learns that the shoot also won't have trailers, he ''rents'' a trailer and refuses to leave it until he receives a trailer which he can refuse to leave until the shoot is catered. And so on, in a series of events which leads to him spending the entire time in a trailer [[spoiler: which is eventually towed to a movie set in Hollywood.]]
