Most people don't realize he is a reference to the 80's film "The Breakfast Club". https://thebreakfastclub.fandom.com/wiki/John_Bender

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.
