* ActuallyPrettyFunny: A meta example - when Damon Lindelof heard this episode's TakeThat towards ''Lost'' season 1, specifically the fact that it's a metaphor for a lack of payoff, he found it so funny that he actually sent the crew a DVD box set of the show to watch.

Added DiffLines:

* TheCastShowoff: Somewhat averted; Alison Brie, who sings a bit in real life, was asked to tone down her performances because people would find it unrealistic that Annie is a good singer. Played straight with Yvette Nicole Brown, who belts her section of the song.
* FakeBrit: Duncan's not ''technically'' a Fake Brit but you wouldn't know it from the way he talks about "52nd Street in Islington".
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: This episode could've been ''much darker.'' From [[http://www.avclub.com/articles/dan-harmon-walks-us-through-communitys-second-seas,57209/2/ this AV Club article:]]
-->'''Dan Harmon:''' I remember there was this little elf girl. There was a visit to Duncan’s office where you actually meet all the broken toys outside the hallway. Christmas is a booming time for Duncan because of all the suicide attempts and thoughts and things, and there’s this little redhead elf girl out in the hallway who Abed befriends, and he indoctrinates her into the ability to willfully deny reality and just engage in this fascination. It just got too fucking dark. [Laughs.] Because she ended up killing herself again or attempting it. And it was like, "Oh my God, there was no way. I can’t even watch this."
