History Recap / CommunityS6E13EmotionalConsequencesOfBroadcastTelevision

*** Jeff's second pitch for Season 7 features Annie and Abed becoming teachers at Greendale, whilst Britta becomes the school psychologist.

* AuthorAppeal: In a reflection of creator Dan Harmon's partiality towards redheads, Jeff's fantasy at the end episode replaces everyone in the group [[HeroesWantRedHeads with attractive redheads]].

* HeroesWantRedheads: Played for laughs. One of Jeff's season seven pitches involve him leading a committee comprised entirely of young and beautiful redheads.

* DidNotGetTheGirl: The series ends with Jeff not being with neither Annie or Britta.

** To "[[Recap/CommunityS6E04QueerStudiesAndAdvancedWaxing Queer Studies And Advanced Waxing]]": Dean Pelton's eccentric sexual preferences are again narrowed down to a specific niche, this to being transgender rather than being gay.

* FictionalBoardGame: The episode ends with a commercial for a board game based on the show which remarks on the show's Better Than a Bare Bulb tendencies. The commercial shows a family of three playing the game and the son producing a special item, the script for the very commercial they're shooting. The father then reprimands the "stupid child" (his words) for proving they don't exist.

* BackForTheFinale: Creator/YvetteNicoleBrown reprises her role of Shirley in several of the pitches for Season 7.

* PutOnABus: Elroy got a job with Linked-In, Annie's got an internship with the FBI, and Abed got a job in L.A.

* BlackComedy: The episode's {{Tag}}, depicting a ParodyCommercial for "Community: TheBoardGame", takes a sharp left turn into this, with a generous dose of BreakingTheFourthWall and existential angst.

* PoliticalOvercorrectness: Unsurprisingly, the Dean is this again. Turned UpToEleven with his proposal to bring both Shirley and Elroy back, and even a entire third African-American person [[LivingProp (who in this sequence, sits far away from the table in the corner and doesn't say anything.)]]

** Creator/SethGreen appears in Jeff's initial Season 7 pitch as Scrunch, the tech mogul who bought Greendale.

** In "[[Recap/CommunityS5E12BasicStory Basic Story]]" Jeff and Britta worry that Annie and Abed aren't ready for the study-group-turned-Save-Greendale-Committee to break up, since they're part of the "adulthood begins at 30 generation". In the end, Annie and Abed are the ones to leave Greendale to pursue their dream jobs, while Jeff and Britta remain behind.

-->'''Imaginary!Annie:''' Is this really what you want?
-->'''Jeff:''' Of course! I mean, I'd be fine with a dog too, but whatever you want.
-->'''Imaginary!Annie:''' Do you have any idea what I want?

-->'''Dad''': I got it! The whole show is happening inside this game!
-->'''Son''': Then explain this! ''[holds up a small booklet]''
-->'''Daughter''': What is it?
-->'''Dad''': It's a script... of a fake commercial at the end of season six starring this family...
-->'''Son''': Sorry Dad, guess I win.
-->'''Dad''': You stupid child. Nobody's winning anything, don't you see? This means we don't exist. We're not created by God, we're created by a joke. We were never born, and we will never actually live.
-->''[the family falls into silence and stares at the table as the camera zooms out]''

*** Jeff's fears about the future resurface, however this time it's his fear that everyone else will move on from Greendale and leave him behind, whereas it was originally his fears about moving on from Greendale and leaving his friends behind.

* ExpospeakGag[=/=]SideEffectsInclude: In TheTag.
-->'''Narrator''': Dice not included. Some assembly required. Lines between perception, desire, and reality may become blurred, redundant, or interchangable. Characters may hook up with no regard for your emotional investment. Some episodes too conceptual to be funny. Some too funny to be immersive, and some so immersive they still aren't funny. Consistency between seasons may vary. Viewers may be measured by a secretive obsolete system based on selected participants keeping handwritten journals of what they watch. Show may be cancelled and moved to the internet where it turns out tens of millions were watching the whole time. May not matter. Fake commercial may end with disclaimer gag which may descend into vain Chuck Lorre-esque rant by narcissistic creator. Creator may be unstable. Therapist may have told creator this is not how you make yourself a good person. Life may pass by while we ignore and mistreat those close to us. Those close to us may be those watching. Those people may want to know I love them but I may be incapable of saying it. ''[voice breaks, [[{{Beat}} beat]]]'' Contains pieces the size of a child's esophagus.

* {{Irony}}: Jeff originally started the study group to hook up with Britta and didn't want any of the others around. By the end of this episode she's the only one of the original Greendale Seven left with him.

-->'''Harmon:''' Fake commercial may end with disclaimer gag which may descend into vain Chuck Lorre-esque rant by narcissistic creator.

-->'''Jeff''': Abusively cynical one liner dismissing everything you just said.
-->'''Britta''': Absurd reaction.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: Unsurprisingly, the Dean is this again. Turned UpToEleven with his proposal to bring both Shirley and Elroy back, and even a entire third African-American person [[LivingProp (who in this sequence, sits far away from the table in the corner and doesn't say anything.)]]

* TokenMinority: Parodied. Britta's proposed pitch for Season 7 has the Dean outing himself as a transgender woman to push her agenda of representing the oft-overlooked community to the point of it [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad offending]] the Dean and everyone else at the table.

* AdultFear: Jeff spends the entire episode wrestling his thoughts over the possibility that he would lose touch with the people he's learned to love over the years.
