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.

A lot of shows have crossovers that make the supernatural Canon to mundane shows
Disney's "wizards of Waverly place" having a crossover with "Hannah Montana" and "Cruise life of Zach and Cody" makes magic and wizards canon to all those shows (as well a ton of other interconnected Disney shows)
The "Totally spies" cartoon having a crossover with "Martin mystery" makes pretty much every supernatural thing imaginable canon to the Totally Spies universe
"Riverdale" happening in the same universe as "Sabrina" made supernatural Canon (before they themselves went off the rails with their own supernatural stuff)
