* BourgeoisBohemian: Everybody in the commune except for B.D., who is a political conservative and thus can't be called a "bohemian" at all. The rest are the type who can argue about the [=McGovern=] campaign and wax nostalgic about anti-war protests, while none of them have to work very hard for a living.

* ShoutOut: As the football team is taking the field Zonker goes into a spiel about how football, with its violence, is reminiscent of America's aggressive imperialism. This is a subtle shout-out to Oscar-winning documentary ''Film/HeartsAndMinds'', which made this exact connection. If there were any doubt the cartoon is referencing the movie that is removed moments later when Zonker says he'll play in the game after all, explaining that he's "had a change of heart and mind."

Zonker seems to forget about this suggestion as soon as he makes it. Mike, on the other hand, is deeply troubled and winds up in a crisis of self-doubt, wondering if the spirit of the '60s has been lost and whether or not old hippies like him need to just move on. In the meantime, the kids from Joanie's day-care center are appearing in a Christmas pageant, and B.D. has a football game to play.

* BookEnds: In the first scene, an autumn leaf falls from a tree, only to be harpooned by Zonker, who is resistant to change. At the end of the short, another leaf falls, but Zonker lets it, signifying Baby Boomers finally beginning to accept that yes, they're getting older, and yes, things change.
