I know I've yammered on about this in my blog posts, but since you've brought the topic up again...

It bothers me that the writing in these seasons has such a strong undercurrent of meme appeal just as you point out in this episode - and not even the style of meme that relies on witty observation, but instead the sort that merely references popular but extremely transitory internet/youtube trends. The way I see it, the humor and storytelling of earlier seasons appealed to a much more fundamental and persistent experience, whereas material that relies on this foundation will fall out of favor as soon as the next wave of trends roll in.
