    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Troy is introduced into this episode when he comes out of a bin. This is a call back to the original paintball episode 'Modern Warfare' in which Annie is hiding in the bin.
    • Goofs
      The tiger stripe M16 used by Chang in Modern Warfare (2010), the paintball episode of the previous season, apparently (by the feeding hopper and bore of the barrel) fires 17mm paintball pellets. However, the guns used in this episode are not, in fact, paintball guns, but gas powered airsoft guns equipped with paintball pellets. These guns require a 6mm pellet and would not be compatible with the 17mm pellets in the cache.
    • Quotes

      Señor Chang: Man, Math Club has gotten a lot better since last year.

      Jeff Winger: Obviously they were practicing while the rest of us went on dates!

      Señor Chang: Hold on, I have a plan. Math Club!

      Math Club Leader: Yeah?

      Señor Chang: I'm Asian. You guys Asian?

      Math Club Leader: That's pretty racist man!

      Señor Chang: That wasn't a no. I'm coming over. Don't shoot me, shoot him. He's white and he's out of ammo.

    Yes, excellent!
    This has to be, by far, the best episode yet. I have been a little disappointed by this season as a whole, however this does more than enough to rectify that. I was so amazed, I started it over the second it ended. Its absolute madness and humor made with directing at Hollywood level makes this show arguably the best NBC has in its roster.

    The episode had so many moments you want to watch over again and again. Especially Alison Brie comes to life in this special. Would love to see her more in that role!

    Being a two-header, I can hardly wait till next week!
