Early Simpsons was also packed with references, but the distinction was that the stories worked seamlessly even if the audience didn't catch them. Catching the references was a bonus.
"Easter Eggs", used to be the stories way of winking at the audience. Now the story is the got damned eggs.
Very excited to see "THE STORY IS THE EGGS" painted on a wall in the next episode of the Simpsons.
Exactly. The story still works fine without them landing because they are ancillary to it. They had something to say besides "remember this other thing?".
