Ahh!! This has been killing me ever since I saw him with his thumbs up saying, “I’ll be back” in his 30 second PCA…
Ok fine Conan the Barbarian wants to play politics…but this was forseen years ago in a certain movie. I want to say Back to the Future, but I can’t remember…Any help from the teeming millions?
I think it was B2TF but I don’t know!
Demolition Man (great film).
It was in “Demolition Man”.
Oh yeah!!! Thanks a lot!
I think the back to the future reference came from when marty walked into the 1950’s diner and got into a conversation with the manager and when asked who the president was is was Ronald Regan…they guy laughed saying…ha ha ha the actor?
As Sandra Bullock further points out, his popularity resulted in the 61st Amendment, allowing foreign-born citizens to be elected President. 
Then goes on to joke about other actors of the day making up Reagan’s cabinet.
That wasn’t at the diner, it was at Doc Brown’s house. The diner was a whole other set of jokes around “Pepsi Free” (remember that stuff?) and other 1980s foods.

I got a good laugh in the cinema during B2F2 when I saw a Macintosh in the window of a store labelled “Antique Computer”. That was in 1989, the year I bought a Mac Plus and a 20MB hard drive. I still have 'em, too.

Ya can’t get a Pepsi fer free. Ya havta pay fer it!
Tab? How can give you the tab? You haven’t ordered anything!
Fine! Just gimme something without any sugar in it.
IIRC, Doc Brown responds to the news that Ronald Reagan is President with, “Who’s the Vice-President? Jack Benny?”
I remember reading at the time that when Michael J. Fox met President Reagan shortly after the movie came out, he apologized for that joke. (Yes, kids, jokes at the President’s expense were once considered mildly rude).
Actually, it was Jerry Lewis as VP, I think Jack Benny was mentioned as Secreatry of State.
Maybe this is way before you youngsters were born, but part of Jack Benny’s comedic schtick was that his character was a notorious penny-pinching miser.
So the joke is that Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury!
(See, as with Jerry Lewis, most known way back then for being dopey and goofy and idiotic, as Vice-President, Doc Brown picks out the popular entertainers from his time who would make the WORST choices for those offices, thus the humor and sarcasm in his remarks)
Cafe owner: “Hey buddy, you gonna order something?”
Marty: “Uh, yeah, give me a Tab.”
Cafe owner: “I can’t give you a tab until you buy something.”
Marty: “Oh, uh, okay then give me a Pepsi Free.”
Cafe owner: “You want a Pepsi, pal, you gotta pay for it!”
Classic.
The diner gag was about the black guy sweeping the floors who tells George to stand up for himself. He says “I’m gonna make something of myself someday.” Marty replies “that’s right, he’s gonna be mayor.” “Mayor Goldie Wilson, I like the sound of that.” The owner says “A colored mayor, that’ll be the day.”
Earlier in the film, we see a van in 1985 driving around announcing “Re-elect Mayor Goldie Wilson.”
