Cultural references mean nothing if the comedy can't stand on it's own two feet. If the show relied on nothing but cultural references without doing something with them or telling jokes of its own, it would be a pretty boring show. There is a reason "reference humor" is looked upon with disdain by much of the community.

As a guy who was born at the head beginning of the 21st century, some of these references fly over my head. Despite this, I still find much enjoyment in this show, with it being my favorite television series just before Bob's Burgers. Besides, be honest with yourself: did you enjoy "The Choices" because the crew managed to sneak in a couple references here and there, or did you enjoy it because the episode was just powerful and emotional? It's also important to note that the show also has another huge "gimmick": multiple animation styles.

I'm curious about what you mean by "more depth". Care to elaborate?
