1* CreatorCameo: As well as directing "The Last Supper" (the TV series's first season finale), Creator/AmyPoehler plays a cook constantly arguing with a waiter.
2* TheDanza: In the web series, both Abbi and Ilana use their real-life first and last names, while their last names were changed for the TV series.
3** Even more so for Ilana, since Wexler (her last name on the TV series) is her mother's maiden name.
4* DVDCommentary: Three from Abbi and Ilana and one from Paul W. Downs (writer/Abbi's boss Trey) and Lucia Aniello (writer/director).
5* DeletedRole: Music/{{Phish}} bassist Mike Gordon filmed a scene for the fifth season premiere "Stories" in which Ilana fails to recognize him when she takes a photo of his shoes for social media -- Part of the joke being that Abbi, who is not in the scene, is a devoted fan of Phish and would have immediately recognized him. The scene was cut, but later [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxPiLZlzXS/ officially uploaded]] to the Instagram account of jam band news site Live for Live Music.
6* QueerCharacterQueerActor:
7** The bisexual Ilana Wexler is portrayed by Creator/IlanaGlazer who identifies herself as queer (and in fact credits this show for helping her identify her sexuality).
