The hazing of Will may be my favorite ongoing background joke in S4. They just keep sliding it in there - probably because, as we know from the podcast, Josh Malina is such a big practical joker himself.

I like Holy Night quite a bit more than you seem to have (though yes, fathers & sons are overused not only in general, but in this show in particular; I will never get over Josh's mom being the only mother to have any significance to her child (okay, and Charlie's dead mom) but still never getting to appear on screen) - but that's mostly because Josh's survivor's guilt forms so much of the basis of why I love him, and it's on blatant display here.

Good point about CJ being scolded, however jokingly, over lovingly eyeing the a cappella boys! Now I'm annoyed with Carol.
