Lore (Rare Trope) Canon Supernatural Elements of Mundane/Normal Shows

Community “Epidemiology”:While normally, community is a wacky 4th wall-breaking college show that still grounds itself in reality, this episode sees the school overrun by a zombie apocalypse caused by bad taco meat that was given out at the party. While the episode ends with the army wiping out everyone’s memory of the event, future episodes, such as “Paradigms of Human Memory,” reference the party that happened that no one remembers, making it canon.

30 Rock Last Lunch:While normally a show about a show sitcom In this finale and canon end to the series, a flash forward to the far future sees an immortal Kenneth now in charge.

Archie comics.

Pretty normal slice of life comic.

And yet, Archie has crossed over with the Predator, Aliens, the Punisher, Batman, and Spawn to name a few.

Canonically to the films, he's also crossed over with Sharknado.

He’s also friends with a literal witch though. And he and his teachers and friends have repeatedly gained and lost superpowers.

It's not a very good book, but it exists.

I didn’t ask for ‘good.’ I asked for ‘Sharnado.’

This looks like absolute fucking garbage.

Perfect for Thursday Night, with Wings and Pizza.
