Is a non-stop cabaret"

  • Arc Words: "We're talking about it and you're thinking about it"
  • Armored Closet Gay: The Ghost of Justice Scalia, who regrets coming out after dying since ghost dick isn't much fun.
  • Black Comedy Rape: When kissing Nick doesn't arouse Andrew, Maurice suggests Andrew force himself on Nick and hope the degradation turns him on.
  • Dueling Works: In-universe. Tyler Perry and Robert De Niro apparently both did Santa Claus-themed movies, "Atlanta Claus" and "Santa Monica", at the same time.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Nick Starr makes his first appearance in a quick Cutaway Gag before he would show up more as Nick's flawed possible future counterpart.
