I may be really slow on the uptake on this. But I was just re-watching, and noticed the season 2 episode called ‘Man City’ had a deeper meaning.
In the episode they face off against Manchester City. But it is also the episode that focused on different characters’ fathers, and/or father figures (e.g., Roy to his niece).
Has anyone noticed other deeper meanings in other episode titles?

And one of the last episodes is “Mom City”, in which they play Manchester City and the off field scenes are all about moms and sons.
Ohhh, now I get it 😂
Season 3, La Locker Room Aux Folies, is wordplay on the stage play ‘La Cage e Folies’; which inspired the popular comedy ‘The Birdcage’ with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane.
Both the play and movie are, in a nutshell, about hiding being a part of the gay community in order to “protect” others feelings
Nice! There are a lot of references in the episodes to various plays and movies. I’m sure I’ve missed many.
Definitely and then they changed it in next season to “Mom City” to also deal with the mothers :) …
Anyways, I think this ain’t breaking bad,
some titles are pretty straight forward,
especially in season 1 - like “Biscuits” or “Trent Crimm, The Independent”,“For the children”,
“Diamond Dogs” …but others do make you think. (or google a lot)

La Locker Room Aux Folles“Inverting the Pyramid” is a book about the history of soccer/football tactics.
The actual “Pyramid of Success” that’s on the wall was a 1940’s basketball coach dissection of traits successful people should have.
So “Inverting the Pyramid of Success” has that extra super duper meaning of Ted’s own personal tactic with the management of the team.
