I know I saw that one too. I just thought this was a good episode also.
I think Hannibal is a great actor, he was great on Broad City. Can't wait to see what he does next.

This episode has a lot of references to media versions of NYC. The writer models herself on Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. I'm reminded of performance artist Penny Arcade's complaints about the sort of aspirants that show drew to New York. ("Mediocrity is the new black….People walk four abreast now because they’ve seen Sex and the City….[It’s like] New York is the merger between spring break and the singles scene….")
Vulture points out that the rip-off show is a reference to New Girl's apparent borrowing of the Heidi plotline.
And of course there's the Broad City and Girls direct references.
