“Meat Cute!” is a horrible, horrible pun, and I’m still giggling about it, days later.

And I need a subscription to Avoid Eye Contact Monthly.

Soos's grandmother is one of my new favorite characters.

"I would like to see you settled before I ascend to heaven and live with the angels."

"And with grandpa!"

"...no, he is not there."

I love the background details on this show, like the Avoid Eye Contact Monthly, or Robbie's muffin/explosion graffiti on the dumpster. Or the Virtual Owl Trowel arcade game, a reference to the Owl Trowel infomercial from somewhere in season 1 (which felt like a reference to Futurama where owls are like the rats of the future).

Don't forget Rumble McSkirmish from "Fight Fighters".

I loved the gag about the pronunciation of the name Giffany.

I loved Melody and hope we might get to see more of her in the future. How far is GF meant to be from Portland?

I think Gravity Falls was supposed to be somewhere in the center of Oregon. It would be nice to see her again, and with that distance we might. But as fun as Soos is as a sidekick, I'm not sure if I want to see another Soos-centric episode.

Thanks to AskMe I've just realised the title of this episode is possibly a reference to this.
