“King Yakko”
This whole episode is one long reference to the Marx Brothers in general and their 1933 classic Duck Soup in particular. To wit:
- An unlikely leading character is appointed leader of a country
- A neighboring country led by a jerk declares war on the first country
- Singing and slapstick ensue
- Yakko, who already has a lot in common with Groucho Marx, is at his Groucho-iest here with lines like “Citizens, I stand before you because if I stood behind you, you couldn’t see me.”
Hooray for President Firefly!
