Line 23:
* [[Bland-Name Product]]: IBC, the network Frank runs, is directly poking fun at [[ABC]]. The promo for IBC's ''[[Show Within a Show|Scrooge]]'' says "Yule Love It"; [[ABC]]'s promotional tagline for their shows in the 1985-1986 season (while the movie was being produced) was "You'll Love It".
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Frank at the end of the movie. On the one hand, he ''is'' in a TV studio, he ''is'' speaking into an [[In-Universe]] camera, and the closest thing to a physical fourth wall is far behind said camera, but on the other hand, he's talking to the [[Real Life]] movie audience as opposed to the [[In-Universe]] TV audience.
* [[Brick Joke]]: The Network Censor getting hurt, see [[Butt Monkey]] below. However in the final scene it all comes to a head. {{
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Elliot Loudermilk. Fired on Christmas Eve, sells blood for booze money (and the booze gets stolen by the Ghost of Christmas Past), and ends up {{spoiler|assaulting Frank with a shotgun in the finale}}. Also [[The Woobie]].
** [[Moral Guardians|The Standards and Practices lady]] gets hit by a lamppost, run over by a barrel and crushed by a set.
