* TheCastShowoff: The season 3 episode "Dad" opens with a minute-long sequence of Ursula Parker, the little girl who plays Louie's younger daughter Jane, flawlessly playing the violin.

Write Who You Know is in-universe in this case, so I\'m putting it on the trope page; meanwhile, Ability Over Appearance is coming over here


* AbilityOverAppearance: Louie's ex-wife, Janet is played by African American Susan Kelechi Watson; Louis has even confirmed that he chose the actress not only because it humorously ignores how they have completely Caucasian children, but because he felt her being perfect for the role took priority. Confusing matters further, in a flashback in "Elevator Part 4", she's played by a white actress.
** Lampshaded in "Pamela Part 3" when the title character asks about the kids; Janet's mother is white. Pamela does not accept the explanation.



* WriteWhoYouKnow: Louie regularly bases his in-show stand-up material on some incident that occurs in the episode.
