Bob's Burgers IRS office scene: "Did you order three children?" (pizzagate)

Around 17:50 mark. Sorry these are just Hulu links I've been posting lately.

Basically, the episode (spoilers ahead if you care - it's a hilarious episode if you love the show, too) has to do with the kids creating a fake religion to save their local aquarium and at the end the IRS agent loves it so much he wants to join. So, they have to put on a whole charade to try to dissuade him from joining, but he ends up finding out the truth after going into a jellyfish tank to get baptized, and subsequently getting stung.

Toward the end, the kids go to the IRS agent to apologize. Here is the quote I thought you guys would find interesting:

(Agent Flanley is sitting at his desk itching his jellyfish wounds)

Man over intercom: Agent Flanley, there are some children here for you. Did you order three children?

Flanley: Hmm. No, I didn't. But send them down.

Are you kidding me, they arent mocking pizzagate. 98% of the population doesn't care or doesn't know. Just an innocent unrelated joke. The comedy in it is that 3 children don't belong in an IRS office.

You're kidding yourself if you think the makers of these shows, and others, aren't aware of PizzaGate. Firstly, they're satire. The only way to satirize anything it's to know about it; in this case, culture is the target. The Simpsons has had its finger on the pulse for decades. Bob's burgers is done by real comedians, who keep up voraciously. While I'm not saying that this particular episode or even this particular joke is or isn't, I am certain that our cause has been, is being, and will continue to be mocked on prime time, network television.
