History Recap / CommunityS1E07IntroductionToStatistics

* IdiotCrows: A Western variant with Chang driving by on his Vespa and calling Jeff an idiot for giving up his one-night stand for saving Pierce.

* HalloweenEpisode

* GutturalGrowler: Abed does a pretty good imitation of ''Creator/ChristianBale'''s Batman voice.

** Jeff's exclamation "What the Music/PinkFloyd?" is a re-creation of (and reference to) Bob Hoskins' PrecisionFStrike in ''Music/TheWall''.

* PopculturalOsmosisFailure: Thanks to the age gap, nobody gets Pierce's ''Film/TheBeastmaster'' costume.

* IHaveTheHighGround: The last scene of Abed/Batman standing on a wall watching things from above in good old Batman fashion.

* CallBack: Annie tries to convince Jeff to come to her party by being "assertive and making eye contact", when he doesn't buy it, Annie mentions that it worked on Pierce; Jeff's response seems like a call back and a BrickJoke to [[Recap/CommunityS1E04SocialPsychology Pierce's ear-noculars]]:
-->'''Jeff:''' ''Infomercials work on Pierce.''

-->"You're stealing Jeff from a good woman!".

-->'''Jeff''': I haven't slept with anyone in a very long time, and you're so good-looking. Please do me the favor of having sex with me.

-->'''Jeff''': I have no friends.
--> ''Cue Britta telling him to come back to Annie's party''
-->'''Jeff''': What's great about community college is that a lot of the students are as mature as the teachers.
-->''Cue Abed in his Batman costume arriving and Troy mentioning Pierce tripping''

* MsFanservice
-->'''Britta''': I hate it when women use Halloween as an excuse to dress up like sluts.
-->'''Annie''': Yeah. (takes off her cape revealing her skintight skeleton costume)

-->'''Troy''': Jeff! Pierce is freaking out... you're the only one that can help!
-->'''Jeff''': What makes you think ''that''?
-->'''Pierce''': ''[offscreen]'' Is Jeff out there? He's the only one that can help!

** Jeff's exclamation "What the Music/PinkFloyd?" is re-creation of (and reference to) Bob Hoskins' PrecisionFStrike in ''Music/TheWall''.

'''Troy:''' She's pretty hot.\\

'''Slater:''' Unseemly. ''[Walks off]''\\

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Jeff giving Pierce this pep talk in the climax.

* {{Bathos}}: The last scene of Abed using lip balm after delivering his dramatic Batman speech.

** She comes to her senses eventually, however, and realises a lot of it was taking out her own internal issues.

* MarijuanaIsLSD: The pill Star-Burns gives Pierce has him acting like he's rolling on ecstasy... then it interacts with his prescription medication, and he starts having terrifying hallucinations.

-->'''Jeff''': What's great about community college is is that a lot of the students are as mature as the teachers.

* InsultBackfire: When Chang mocks Jeff for striking out with Professor Slater, Jeff retorts that Chang wasn't any more successful with her. Chang laughs it off, pointing out that he's, well, ''Chang'', and Jeff by definition should be able to do better than him.
* INeedToIronMyDog: The last time Annie threw a party, everyone left, claiming that they couldn't miss the news. When someone attempts to leave her Dia de los Muertos party with the same excuse, she nearly has a conniption fit.

* PitySex: Played with. Professor Slater first agreed to sleep with Jeff because he made himself seem pathetic, begging and pleading enough until she finally said yes. [[spoiler: Subverted in that it never happened in that episode, and instead they first slept together after dating conventionally.]]

-->'''Pierce''': Is Jeff out there? He's the only one that can help!

-->'''Pierce:''' Is Jeff out there? He is the only one that can help!

* LameExcuse: The last time Annie threw a party, everyone left, claiming that they couldn't miss the news. When someone attempts to leave her Dia de los Muertos party with the same excuse, she nearly has a conniption fit.
