Futurama is chock full of big and little jokes, many not spoken, and I often have to pause to read them.
Nixon's head refering to his people as "fellow Earthicans" is always on point somehow. Also endorsing products during his speeches. And calling the flag "ol' Freebie".
Also, considering Futurama was most active in the 20-oughts, it's often interesting to see how they satirize the very same issues the US are dealing with today.
I'm currently re-watching the whole shebang and sometimes I just have to take a screenshot. Unpolitical, therefore somewhat OT:
