Independence Day

, also known as Fourth of July, is a real-life holiday that characters celebrate on the fourth of July every year. Although the holiday first gets introduced in "Christmas in the Car," the eighth episode of Season 4 and the fifty-third episode overall, an episode has yet to center around it.
==Description==
The holiday celebrates the day the United States became an independent country.https://www.britannica.com/topic/Independence-Day-United-States-holiday Characters likely observe the holiday like real-life people by demonstrating American patriotism.
Tina suggests that lighting sparklers are a common way to celebrate in "Steal Magazine-olias." Sparklers are a type of fireworks, and fireworks are synonymous with the holiday.https://www.britannica.com/story/why-do-americans-celebrate-independence-day-with-fireworks

*Tina believes Dr. Yap likes the holiday because of how much he talks about sparklers. ("Steal Magazine-olias")
*The holiday rankings Louise made in "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal," with some input from Tina and Gene, suggest it's not one of their favorite holidays, ranking lower than Thanksgiving, their least favorite holiday mentioned in their rankings.
*All of the times a character explicitly states "Independence Day" is when they're referencing the movie Independence Day.
**Bob mentions the movie in "Now We're Not Cooking with Gas" and compares himself to Will Smith's character.
**Louise mentions the movie in "Touch of Eval(uations)" and quotes a line from Bill Pullman's character.
**Gene also quotes one of Bill Pullman's character's lines from the movie in "Father of the Bob," but he doesn't explicitly state where the quote is from.
