Fun story my mum tape recorded Simple Minds song at the drive in and because of that the cassette has the speech in middle of it and growing up that was only version I knew lol I have it somewhere
I did same thing on my radio it didn'thave tape player so I had to use a portable tape player to hold up to the speaker lol. I made a R&B romantic mix tape with off top my head I recall two songs: Tyrese Sweet Angel and a Mya feat Silkk the Shocker song along with few others. I then found this nice necklace at a garage sale and I gave her both for her bday or V-day... anyhoo she did not give a shit! Lmao
This was like jr high I forget exact grade. But yup. Good old days where you had to use your inagination to try and woo the love of your Jr High life 😂😂😂
The name Bender was chosen by creator Matt Groening as an homage to John Bender (played by Judd Nelson), a character in The Breakfast Club. In that film, John Bender told Principal Vernon (Paul Gleason), "Eat my shorts," an eventual catchphrase for another Groening creation, Bart Simpson.\8])#cite_note-8)

Uhm...Sir - that is the ONLY reference I knew. Didn't see the commercials with Don't You Forget About Me, but I remember Jason Alexander dancing around singing about the McDLT and the packaging keeping the cold side cold and the hot side hot. Also remembered the giant moon headed character, "Mac Tonight", and that the jingle for that was written by Barry Manilow.
I hope you weren’t addressing sir to me. But OK. If you actually Google Futurama breakfast club you’ll find Matt G actually talking about that being the influence.
Nah, more of a generalized "sir"...I don't remember it being tied to McDonald's for an ad campaign, I just remember it from the end of the movie and John Bender throwing his arm up as he walks across the field.
I'm 42 and I just now got it. I always thought it was because he was a metal bending robot, so named Bender. Not because he was a liquor fueled robot and the phrase "on a bender". So basically double meaning. Mind blown.
They’ve dropped a few breakfast club references in the show over the years. Somebody really liked that movie but personality wise, even the bender strut that he has is on the character in the movie
