This week's opening was all Christmas-y but it wasn't a Christmas episode. That's this week, I wonder if they'll have another themed opening?
There was no opening theme or couch gag this week; it went right into the story. It was Christmas-y in that it was a spoof of Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movies but the plot took place in summer.

Comic book guy got an origin story. It started out as a nonSimpons episode but it didn’t go in that direction and the Wes Anderson tone in the second half was a nice, well played touch. A decent late era episode.

Had no idea this was a debate. The answer seems obvious to me, but I'm curious to see what RM says.
Similar to the "man saying goodbye to a shoe" debate. More generally, I like this video as an examination of the absurdity of hyper-specific message board pop culture debates.
Guys, I am not a moderator! I swear to God! Why does everyone think I'm a moderator?

I’ve never heard the term “that’s where I’ma Viking” to mean you’re good at something. He goes to sleep and is a Viking in his dreams. How could it mean anything else?

Fascinating
We have a definitive answer as to what the intent was (as the video lays out, the writers have said they intended for it to be that Ralph dreamt about being a Viking) but it's super interesting to see how different people interpret it differently, and often can't see how the other interpretation would even work
