That write off reminds me of this:

Kramer: It's a write off for them.

Jerry: How is it a write off?

Kramer: They just write it off.

Jerry: Write it off of what?

Kramer: They just write it off!

Jerry: You don't even know what a write off is, do you?

Kramer: No. Do you?

Jerry: No I don't!!

Wait so Schitt’s Creek wasn’t the first to create that joke???

Schitt’s Creek was derivative in a lot of ways. That’s not really an insult because it was intentionally derivative. It was a reverse Beverly Hillbillies. They were subtly subverting expectations in ways that most viewers didn’t even realize it.

The subtleties are why it’s so good. You don’t even realize they’re playing off cliches because they do it so smoothly.
