Beginning with Chapter 11 (“Arkansas Traveler”), Joe Fisher reads the full list of everyone supporting Midnight Burger at the $10/month level (“Monte Cristo”). Over time, it’s become a truly monstrous list, and, for some reason I don’t completely understand, I’ve decided to start tracking its length.
I timed the segment from when Joe introduces it, usually with “Midnight Burger is brought to you in part by …” and ended with the last name, which is, after the “Ted in Exile” interlude, Existentially Exhausted Bean. I’m not sure why I decided to include Joe’s intro, since it would have been just as easy to start with the first name. But that only occurred to me when I was halfway through season 3, and I didn’t feel like going back and redoing them.
This is a graph of the length of the name segment. A graph of the number of names would be more scientific, but that would require me to sit there with a clicker or something, and that would be silly.
