    GOAT Gravity Falls Episode

    Greatest Gravity Falls episode of all time. The entire story of the brothers is told in only 30 minutes & it's absolutely amazing. Always felt like Stan was the most underrated & interesting character on the show but got close to no time on screen but this episode changes everything. Gonna be super exciting to see how the show ends.

      In the flashback, Fiddleford McGucket's house is modeled after the childhood home of Apple's founder Steve Jobs. McGucket is, like Jobs, working on computers. And on the garage wall there is a poster of a bitten, multicolored strawberry with the phrase "Ponder Alternatively," a spoof of the Apple logo and its slogan "Think Different."

      Stan was banned from New Jersey, but it's not crossed off on the map of states he's banned from.

      Soos: I hope all this aligns exactly with my fanfic, Stan. If not, I will be very disappointed.
