* AlternativeJokeInterpretation: Jeff's curt expression of disbelief at the end. Is it directed at the feds' cover story, or [[TokenEvilTeammate Chang's]] insistence that [[NotMeThisTime he's not responsible?]]

** In this episode, Troy decides to dress up as a "sexy Dracula" to attract more girls. Donald Glover would later voice Vampire King Marshall Lee in one of the genderbent episodes of WesternAnimation/AdventureTime - which also featured George Takei as a guest voice.
** Shirley is mistaken for dressing as [[Franchise/TheMuppets Miss Piggy]]. [[Film/MuppetsHauntedMansion This wouldn't be the last time her actress would be associated with the Muppets during Halloween.]]

** In the "Politics of Human Sexuality", Chang is shown grabbing tons of (defective) condoms. This could explain the less than fortunate outcome of his hookup with Shirley. Of course, Chang was around when it they were revealed as defective, but then again, it is Chang.
** Rich's proposed solution (lowering the thermostat to break the fever and kill the virus) has no medical chance of working in the real world. At the very least, one or more students should have died from blood loss from their bite wounds. Why does it work? Because Rich is TheAce, and has never lost a patient in 10 years, and as the first physician on the scene all the students are technically his patients.

Art Major Biology merge: Not a YMMV trope


* ArtMajorBiology: The ''physician'' agreeing with Annie's plan to lower the temperature in order to "break the fever and kill the virus". Breaking a fever is all well and good for preventing brain damage, but the fever is the body's defensive response against the virus which was spread among people with presumably normal 98.6 degree temperatures. Bringing them back down to those temperatures they had when the virus was spread in the first place would do nothing against the virus itself, whatever brain damage lowering the temperatures was preventing notwithstanding. The thermostat needs to go at least below 50 F to affect the environment of the virus, by causing hypothermia in its host (it could possibly show up in Pierce and Leonard a bit earlier). And these low temperatures would just be expected to (very slightly) slow the spreading of the virus in the body, not "kill" it (it's pretty hard to kill something that isn't especially alive in the first place). The average virus would still be active, much less capable of reactivation, long, long after the human has died of hypothermia. There is a reason fevers and sterilization techniques use ''high'' temperatures, not low ones.
** Keep in mind that this whole episode is about a [[RuleOfCool zombie epidemic from taco meat]].
