* BlackLikeMe: Parodied. The plot of an entire episode involves Sarah getting into an argument over whether it's harder to be black or Jewish. Sarah spends the rest of the episode in Al Jolson-style {{blackface}}. When people react with disgust and outrage at the blackface, she mistakes this as actual racism towards black people, because of course her disguise is [[PaperThinDisguise flawless]], so it couldn't possibly be that. It's later revealed that the black man she got into the argument with spent the same amount of time in a false hooked nose, a yarmulke, glued-on side curls and a T-shirt that read "I <3 MONEY!" in [[TheBackwardsR faux-Hebrew text]]. Just like Sarah, he mistakes any hatred he gets for his costume as people hating on Jews.

* RealLifeRelative: Sarah Silverman and Laura Silverman. it's not a coincidence.
** Although in real life, Laura is Sarah's ''older'' sister.



* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Despite its immediate and continual success, networks rarely showed reruns of the episodes for very long, and after every season ended, all episodes and ads and discussion of the show would be dropped for ''months'' at a time. Fans were in a constant state of not knowing whether or not the show had been cancelled yet. After a third season, the show's episodes were quickly pulled away again ... only with a quiet message saying the show has been cancelled.
