Keith Urban described wanting to "make a little magic in the moonlight" in a song titled for taking this action. In another song, a woman declares "we had a drink, we had a smoke" shortly before taking this action. The singer of that song noted that this action (*) "won't change the world, but I'm so glad."

John Oliver described this character as "the end product of the McDonald's fry guy hooking up with Grimace."
