Yes I know the episode but I think I'm missing some deeper joke. Maybe I need some more caffeine.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, there's no deeper joke. Just that cars run on gas. And thus can actually be out of gas. It's funny to me. At least.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
No deep joke. I just thought it would be funny if Tim wrote episodes entitled "Out of Gas" for two different shows (especially one for a show called Drive), and even funnier if both of them started with Nathan Fillion falling into frame with a thud. And it's always fun to trot out the old Ronco language ("But wait! There's more!")
A very belated but YOOOOGE!! </Mike Francesa> congratulations to Kristen on the new gig! Richly deserved.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
If he does, the appropriate actor needs to be coached on how to pronounce "ita" properly before the episode is fimed.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I am in the Drive offices and I AM REALLY BORED AND TIM IS NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO ME.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
While you're there, can you teach everyone to say "ita" and "krav maga" just in case?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Isn't that one of Kristen's official job duties?
It really should be.

I rearranged the NSYNC bobbleheads in Kristen's office.
I have to make my own fun.

I think you should hide things in random places to surprise her. And put postits on them that say ALLYSON WUZ HERE!!@!!@!111
But not things that will make her panic when she can't find them.
