In the library scene where Brita meets Subway, he has circled a paragraph from George Orwell's 1984. He then goes on to quote a different passage from 1984, which is clearly meant to be the one he has circled.

User Reviews

community utilizes subway to stay afloat

Commmunity is (or maybe was) on the verge of getting canceled so what do they do, plant a big subway restaurant in their school so we see and hear about subway for the whole episode.

I guess I can't be that hostile towards this, I like the show, I want it to stay on TV but not if they have to work in commercials into the layout.

The best part of this episode is a side-plot where Jeff finds out from Annie that they were all assigned lockers to use for school, Jeff finds a bunch of old ads in his locker along with a note from someone angry at him. So they go and check that out.

Troy and Abed get into it over whether or not to make a blanket fort or a pillow fort, and Pierce and Shirley use Britta to try to take down a Subway representative.
