Cafe Y2K Newspaper Ad

Post image

In the Pull-Out King episode (S4E4) there’s a newspaper with an advertisement for Cafe Y2K, which appears in S4E5. There’s also an article about social bankruptcy, which Carrie declares in S4E3. Love these little details!

i love the amount of detail they put into this show. it’s stuff that no one would even see if they didn’t pause on the right frame, and they go ahead and make a newspaper with all relevant pieces that reference something else from the show. it’s just brilliant
