While the show is mostly focused for the family dynamics with horror as metaphor, Supernatural does have an undercurrent of meta commentary/satire on the horror genre. This episode is the first in this vein. It is the first episode that was a comedy. The (not yet named this) ghostfacers of Travis and Ed are gem comedic characters; apart from that the prank war the boys play on each other is expected and a lot of fun. The central point in this episode of how the lore becomes real because people believe in it is nice bit of commentary.
This is one of the most fun episodes of the show for several years.
