I didn't know exactly how to word the title of this thread, but does anyone else particularly enjoy (or I guess dislike) the plots in MitM that mention common problems symbolically?
Now, that's really crappy wording, but perhaps an example or two will show what I mean.
In Stupid Girl, the wrecking ball is sort of a reference to a drug problem, as shown by both Dewey's comments and Hal's defensive reactions.
Also, in Motivational Seminar, Dewey's "other mom" is (more blatantly) a parallel to a cheating spouse, with the cake and cookie crumbs as added humor.
Those are only the first two that came to mind, so feel free to list any more that I didn't mention and your thoughts on them.
