   Notes for QABF11 (Burger Kings)

   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!)
