Oh but guess what, besides the fact they zoom in on the menu to show Steven looking over the options, they never overtly call attention to it. Almost like it was subtle. And Inobtrusive. Hmmmm.
Also, your oh so precious original PPG had obvious references in it as well. I did literally 10 seconds of googling, found a video (here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ODbHlMK7kk ) that describes some of the largest ones, and the number one reference is an entire episode literally named "The Beat-Alls" that's nothing but a Beatles reference. Not saying obvious references are good, but don't say the new shit stinks and act like your shit don't stink.
Pop culture references happen in shows. Sometimes they can be a driving factor based on how popular the reference is at the time of writing. Welcome to Television.
