Despite some rehashed subject area (I'm looking at you, 4F17), the level of commentary and satire was pretty high here, with a coherent plot and nuggets (vague pun not intended) of wisdom. Actually, the Burns angle was probably the least interesting, but
even it was far from his cartooniest uncharacteristic depictions. I'm too young to really know "Mac Tonight", although I recognize it, and many of the other food chain puns and mascots, past and present, were fun to pick out. I also thought it was a neat
choice to color the meatless burgers with no outlines (except on the billboard), as if to stress their unusual nature and make them seem like Play-Doh or something. But why the Stranger Things bits?
DYN:
...Scott Christian makes a very rare modern appearance?
...despite Homer's claim that each catch phrase has two meanings (the burger promotional one and the phrase it's based on), "meat beater" certainly has a third, much dirtier one?
...Bernie Sanders is apparently not one of the two "beloved" billionaires in the world? (Nor is Elon Musk, whose star has fallen quite a bit since the show worshipped the ground he walked on in TABF04!)
