18 Tiny Details From Holiday Episodes Of Your Favorite TV Shows You Might Have Missed
Everyone loves holidays. And everyone loves TV shows.
The holidays appear to be the ideal time to recharge our batteries in preparation for another difficult period on your jobs or around the house. TV shows and movies are a great way to relax.
We can get lost in other worlds and other people’s problems, forgetting our own. That’s so great.
There are many great things about holidays, and one of them is holiday episodes of our favorite shows. The creators sometimes just try to do them in the easiest way possible – by creating an episode that’s nothing more than a collage of the main characters’ memories.
And it is great fun, but still shows a lack of appreciation for the audience. On the other hand, some creators give their best and create episodes worth remembering and revisiting.
And when you revisit them, you can find a bunch of amazing details you missed when watching them before. We have compiled a list of 18 of the most interesting details in holiday episodes of your favorite TV shows.
They will make you revisit those episodes, we promise. Let's take a look and help you pick an episode to watch tonight:
1. New Girl
Dennis Haskins, who played Mr. Belding in Saved By the Bell, is the sick, creepy Santa Jess meets at LAX.
2. The Office
Stanley isn't taking the Christmas photo.
3. Community
Shirley has no idea what a menorah is in the first season's Christmas episode. Shirley puts the one Annie gives her under the Christmas tree. Shirley returns for the menorah after the study group steals Greendale Community College's large Christmas tree in Season 2.
4. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Both Hitchcock and Scully's Halloween costumes were a disaster, and they ended up dressed as mustard.
5. The Office
For St. Patrick's Day, Michael has an Italian flag on his desk.
6. The Office
The water in the office watercooler is green in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
7. Friends: "The One with the Late Thanksgiving"
Monica's apartment door chain had 13 links instead of the customary nine. This allows Phoebe, Rachel, Joey, and Ross' heads to fit inside the slot.
8. The Office
Stanley's New Year's resolution is to "be a better husband and boyfriend," as we can see.
9. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: "A Very Sunny Christmas"
On Christmas Eve, Mac reads a train schedule. He does this so he and Charlie know when to throw rocks at trains on Christmas morning, which is their custom.
10. The Office
Creed gets Jim a shirt for Christmas, but he wears it to Jim's barbecue.
11. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Jake believes Captain Holt's watch has been replaced with a copy during the theft scene in "Halloween II." Amy and Rosa, who are aware of Holt's big plot, are smirking behind Jake as he cheers.
12. Big Mouth
Walgreens sells heart-shaped boxes named "Peena" and "Sweetie" for Valentine's Day, which are Coach Steve's terms for penis and vagina.
13. The Office
Gabe went up as a skeleton for Halloween, but because he is so tall, one outfit didn't fit, so he had to sew two together.
14. Community: "Regional Holiday Music"
Abed and Troy perform a Christmas rap in "Regional Holiday Music," with dancers and a studio appearing in their imaginations. Annie can gaze in through the background because the studio isn't genuine.
15. Friends
Phoebe's work is shown on a wall in Monica's apartment in a flashback to Thanksgiving 1992. Because Phoebe was living there at the time, this makes sense. (And, seasons later, Phoebe's artwork is prominently included in an episode's plot.)
16. Home Improvement
Randy welcomes trick-or-treaters on Halloween and gives seven candy bars to the child costumed as Young Simba from The Lion King. Young Simba was voiced by Johnathan Taylor Thomas.
17. Frasier
Only two Thanksgiving episodes appear in the show's 11 seasons, and both revolve with Frederick, Frasier, and Lilith's son.
18. The Office: "A Benihana Christmas"
Angela claims her favorite song is "Little Drummer Boy" in "A Benihana Christmas." Dwight hums this song in the pilot, therefore it appears that Dwight and Angela were dating before the show even started.
So, what do you think about our list? Did it make you want to watch some of your favorite episodes again?
If it seems that The Office is one of the most frequently mentioned shows here, you are not mistaken. We couldn’t help it- we love the fact the show creators give so much attention to details, and we simply wanted to give them credit.
