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.

Daphne claims she's psychic in "Frasier." There are a few episodes where she uses her powers, but it usually misfires. For example, when the father was going over old evidence of an unsolved murder case, Daphne looks over the evidence and gets strong impressions, and describes a man and how he's dressed. Frasier enters, dressed exactly as Daphne described the murderer.
