Talk:Waiter Grover

O'Brien's sketch (more details)
1. The Celtic surname used for the restaurant, the O' prefix added to menu items, and the letter turned into a logo also parody McDonald's.  (Alluding to Chet O'Brien was a more subtle in-joke, probably aimed at people who read the credits.)

2. Despite the prominent O's in the restaurant, this sketch was not meant to teach a letter of the alphabet. Instead, it taught the difference between "fast" and "slow"; Grover warns Charlie that he needs to catch his order quickly because O'Brien's serves fast food. (Grover was using that expression literally; the trays of food whizzed by so quickly that Charlie couldn't grab one.) Fat Blue then asks whether any slow food is available; after Grover repeats that order to the kitchen, Fat Blue waits much longer than a typical burger-joint customer would need to. Finally, a turtle balancing a tray on its back shell appears with Blue's order. (I don't remember the exact ending, but it probably involves Fat Blue leaving in a huff or passing out.)
