* BadBadActing
* CharacterExaggeration

to:

* BadBadActing
BadBadActing: The actors Abed got to portray himself and his friends aren't very good, though in different ways and to various degrees. True to form, Britta is the worst; her actor speaks in a stilted way and completely fails to emote -- Abed is almost as bad, as his actor radiates awkardness and over-pronounces everything. The rest of the actors are slightly better, but tend to overplay.
* CharacterExaggerationCharacterExaggeration: This version of the characters are pretty exaggerated caricatures of their normal selves, almost to the point of {{Flanderization}}.


Added DiffLines:

* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: Frequent for Britta -- presumably because her actress can't actually ''show'' the emotion in a believable way.
