Most of what you listed is not subtextual at all, but explicitly signalled to the audience.

BREAD AND CIRCUSES makes for an unwieldy hashtag I guess.

That Santa Fe episode.

Gonna watch this at 5:45 with a whopper and a 40

No incessant Jeff Dunham specials?!!

At the very least get on Spotify or something and listen to the soundtrack.

Best Pixar movie is the montage from Up on repeat until it no longer affects me and I can slough off this thin shell of humanity once and for all.
