The title and the main sketch in the video, including the opening titles, are a parody of Community, replacing community college with community television. Some of the cast/crew from
Showreel (2013) replace the characters from Community:
Matt Clayton is Jeff,
Andrew Cowderoy is Abed,
Clare Clayton is Annie,
Jasmine Thone is Shirley,
Toni Pankaluic is Troy,
Siobhan Collie is Britta, and
Amy Gian is Chang. As a joke on how little money community television has (similar to the community college Greendale), the male Executive Producer of Showreel,
Eda (parodying the Dean), appears as an animated photograph voiced by a woman,
Lierre Beutel.
