It is commentary like this:

It’s reminiscent of the line from Animal House, when Otter says, “I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.” Bluto answers, “We’re just the guys to do it.” The Democrats have become the party of stupid and useless gestures.

That has put Captain’s Quarters in the realm of higher beings. Congratulations Captain Ed, you deserve it.
