** ''American Series/{{Glee}} Story'', due to all the musical numbers this season, with at least one song thus far ("Dream a Little Dream") done by both shows. It helps that the show was also made by this series' creators.
** Dickfingers for Jimmy's lobster-like hands, due to him using them for prostitution.
** Triple-Tits for Desiree. [[MultiBoobage The reason is obvious]]. Ethel and Maggie both actually calls her this in the show, too.
** Lobster Wood for Jimmy's [[spoiler: artificial hands]].

Deleted line(s) 2,18 (click to see context) :
* CastingGag: A signature of the series is having actors play off their previous roles in the franchise.
** In ''Murder House'', Frances Conroy plays the ghost of a maid murdered and buried in the backyard. In ''Freak Show'', [[spoiler: she covers up her son's murder of the maid by burying her in the backyard.]]
** In ''Murder House'', Evan Peters plays a teenager with a love for grunge, explicitly naming Music/KurtCobain as one of his favorite musicians. Peters's character in ''Freak Show'' sings a Music/{{Nirvana}} song in "Test of Strength". Specifically, the song "Come As You Are," which includes the line, "And I swear / I don't have a gun / No, I don't have a gun." In ''Murder House'', [[spoiler:Evans' character was a school shooter]]. Yeah.
** In ''Murder House'' and ''Asylum'', Evan Peters plays characters who end up in a three-way relationship. Here, Creator/EvanPeters [[spoiler: ends up in a three-way relationship with the conjoined twins Bette and Dot.]]
** Gabourey Sidibe's character in ''Coven'' was named Queenie. This season, it's Regina, which means queen.
** Kathy Bates's character [[spoiler:loses her head again. Minus the immortality-induced comedy.]]
** Mare Winningham plays another bad mother, possibly worse than the incestuous Alicia in ''Coven''.
** In ''Asylum'', Evan Peters played a young man wrongly accused of being a serial killer. In ''Freak Show'', [[spoiler: he gets framed for Dandy's crimes after he bribes the detective.]]
** In 'Orphans', Jimmy Darling's prison garb is exactly the same as Kit Walker's Asylum garb.
** A twist: both ''Murder House'' and ''Freak Show'' have a Detective Colquit.
** In ''Coven'', Jessica Lange and Danny Huston play two lovers, the latter a ghost. In ''Freak Show'', the two are old flames.
** At the end of ''Coven'', Fiona Goode, played by Jessica Lange, ends up in her own personal hell after she dies. At the end of ''Freak Show'', Elsa Mars [[spoiler:ends up in her own personal heaven]].
** Evan Peters once again ends up in a three-way relationship with two women. [[spoiler: Unlike ''Asylum'' and ''Coven'', two of the three weren't resurrected, although both Bette and Dot died in dream sequences.]]
** In ''Coven'', Denis O'Hare's character responds to the self-pitying excuses of Jessica Lange's character with "Horseshit!". In ''Freakshow'', his character Stanley does this with her character Elsa.
** In the final episode of ''Coven'', Evan Peters' character Kyle becomes the butler of the academy. In the final episode of ''Freak Show'', Peters' character Jimmy [[spoiler:poses as a butler in the Mott mansion to help Bette, Dot and Desiree exact revenge on Dandy.]]
** Creator/JohnCarrollLynch is [[Series/{{Carnivale}} once again tangling with a travelling show.]] Similarly, [[Film/{{Zodiac}} it's not the first time that he (allegedly) preyed after couples on picnic retreats]].
** Much like in Film/FantasticFour2005, Creator/MichaelChiklis plays a man renowned for his strength. Unlike The Thing (who hates being called/considered a freak), however, Dell appears normal.
