Examples that come to mind:
- saying your favorite video game is Disco Elysium
- saying your favorite TV show is Star Trek DS9
The two rules are that:
- It has to be to do with a category that is socially acceptable to talk about with most people in a casual setting. So no politics or philosophy.
- Nothing too on the nose, ex, no "I love the music of the Red Army Choir" or something.
you're missing the best exchange from that episode:
Elaine (gifting Ned a shirt, which he says is 'too fancy'): Just because you're a communist, does that mean you can't wear anything nice? You look like Trotsky
Ned (excitedly): Good!
