  • Creator Cameo: As well as directing "The Last Supper" (the TV series's first season finale), Amy Poehler plays a cook constantly arguing with a waiter.
  • The Danza: In the web series, both Abbi and Ilana use their real-life first and last names, while their last names were changed for the TV series.
    • Even more so for Ilana, since Wexler (her last name on the TV series) is her mother's maiden name.
  • DVD Commentary: Three from Abbi and Ilana and one from Paul W. Downs (writer/Abbi's boss Trey) and Lucia Aniello (writer/director).
  • Deleted Role: Phish bassist Mike Gordon filmed a scene for the fifth season premiere "Stories" in which Ilana fails to recognize him when she takes a photo of his shoes for social media — Part of the joke being that Abbi, who is not in the scene, is a devoted fan of Phish and would have immediately recognized him. The scene was cut, but later officially uploaded to the Instagram account of jam band news site Live for Live Music.
  • Queer Character, Queer Actor:
    • The bisexual Ilana Wexler is portrayed by Ilana Glazer who identifies herself as queer (and in fact credits this show for helping her identify her sexuality).
    • Abbi Abrams has later on revealed that she has had sexual relationships with women. Her actress, Abbi Jacobson is bisexual.
