While most of ''[[Daria (TV series) | Daria]]'' stayed more or less true to real life aside from a few standard cartoon conventions, there were still instances of fantastic elements. In "[[A Tree Grows in Lawndale]]", for example, a flower is shown growing out of [[Kevin Thompson | Kevin's]] arm crutch after it is planted in place of [[Tommy Sherman]]'s memorial tree. In other cases, the fantasy elements are contained with a story within the story, such as the three tales told in "[[Legends of the Mall]]".
Two episodes stand above the rest in fantastic content, however. The first is "[[Depth Takes a Holiday]]" in which teenagers who represent various holidays such as [[Cupid | Valentine's Day]] and [[Halloween (character) | Halloween]] come to [[Lawndale]] through a dimensional wormhole behind the [[Good Time Chinese restaurant]], and these beings are shown to have fantastic powers and abilities relating to their respective holidays. The second is "[[Daria!]]", an episode which takes the form of a musical, though the fantasy element - that being the inexplicable song-and-dance numbers - can also be explained by the [[Characters as Actors]] trope.
In [[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|''Beavis and Butt-head'']], the fantasy episode "[[It's a Miserable Life]]" makes explicit the existence of God and guardian angels, and shows us Daria in a canonical [[alternate universe]].
===Metafiction===
In the episode "[[Write Where It Hurts]]", Daria writes a medieval story about a knight (variously Mack, Jake, or Helen) asking a seer (variously Jodie, Helen or Jake) about the future.
