I really like the show Community - brilliant stuff, and probably the most reflexively self-referential show I've ever seen. Abed, a slightly autistic cinephile geek is revealed to be taping himself when in his dorm room. He explains that its not as interesting as you might expect: mostly its video of him watching the dailies (the video collected the day before).
If I had to take a stab at how the self-referentiality fits with the Community, I think it is that Community is an end in itself, but an end to which Community is also the means. The whole thing is bootstraps all the way down.
In other community news, there has been an exchange of comments on this very blog about Kierkegaard, on the post 'Right and Right' from the end of August, which if you are a Kierkegaard enthusiast with very low expectations, you might like to check out.
