Community GI Joe Episode (GI Jeff)

Community GI Joe Episode
The name of the episode is GI Jeff and I loved every minute. The people that made this episode pretty much loved the old show. I also got a kick out of them twisted the show into a strange mind trip that Jeff is going through via his childhood.  It is a good nostalgia episode that's for sure.  
My only gripe about the episode is that they didn't use the stock-music that they used on both GI Joe and Transformers.
-The Theme Song: Yeah, they got that right. They recorded a new song that pretty much sums up GI Joe.
-They even gave the episode an in-continuity Title Card, which is different than the one from the Community show. “Government Issue Jeff”
-Some of the main cast members from the show reprise their roles for the episode. Michael Bell came back as Duke.  It looks like Bill Ratner was playing Flint, but he isn't listed on IMDB.
-I love they talk about the fact Cobra attacks a tourist attraction site for no reason.
-Why is General Hawk siting in the crowd during the Court Martial? Shouldn't he be in the front of the room with the other commanders?
-Also, there is a wooden dummy and two Gun-Ho's in the crowd!: Is the wooden dummy a reference to Tekken?  
-Lip-sync mistakes.  The old show was full of them.  
-Destro gets killed.  Brilliant
-Three Kids:  Yeah, there are people that keep reminding you that they spawned kids.  
-I always hated Lifeline.  I think someone in the writer's room hated him too...
-No Transformers joke or Cobra Commander/Starscream joke?
-If you look closely, they even added the disfigurement of Cobra Commander's face when he starts to “fall apart” . He has multiple eyes. That's a nice touch, given that they revealed this in the 80s movie and not on the show.
   
 Yes, that's Dan Harmon as Sleep Apnea .
