=== The ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'' episode "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" contains examples of: ===

 

* [[All There in the Manual]]: [http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/12/08/dan-harmon-community-christmas-episode/ This interview] with Dan Harmon (warning: spoilers for upcoming episodes) explains the reasons why Abed chose those toys to represent his friends:

{{quote| "Abed sees Jeff as a big talking head with limited practical functionality, and he sees Pierce as maybe deserving of more love than he gets, and sees Troy as a soldier, and sees Britta as a malfunctioning device, and sees Annie as a creature of grace, and sees Shirley as a big baby who feels entitled to the Christmas of her choosing."}}

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Apparently, Professor Duncan had one.

* [[Dwindling Party]]: Only {{spoiler|Pierce}} manages to make the trip with Abed to the North Pole. [[Battle Royale With Cheese|Everyone]] comes back in the end though.

* [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin]]: "Sad quick Christmas song..."

* [[Food Porn]]: [[The Tag]] involves Troy imposing stop-motion on reality again for the sake of delicious-looking fake food.

* [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]]: "It's that very special time of year, Greendale! A time for me to remind you that your school acknowledges ''no'' specialness to this time of year. You ''do'', of course, have a constitutional right to lend this season the significance of your choosing in any of our designated 'holiday zones'." Said 'holiday zone' is a taped-off corner of the cafeteria with a miserable looking tree and a menorah.

** Subverted when the Dean gives in to the urge to just wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

* [[Ship Tease]]: At one point Annie kisses Abed on the cheek, and at another she sings the line "saying 'I love you'" in unison with Jeff.

* [[Shower of Angst]]: Snowman Chang claims Abed's molestation of him is the reason Chang will be crying in the shower tonight.
