My major complaint is that it's just a weird, random pop culture reference instead of having anything to do with Battletech.

If they had framed it within a Battletech lore narrative, it would have been so much more compelling.

Weapon testing weekend. IS vs Clans. Both sides are testing new technology. The outcome of this event creates a story for next week's event. Maybe throw the Wolf's Dragoons in the story, as they have come to the Inner Sphere to gather information about IS vs Clan technology. People who complete X number of challenges get a Wolf's Dragoon decal.

It's so easy to make this stuff more compelling than "Simpsons Weekend! Kill mechs with flamers to win donut and beer mug cockpit items!"

I'm sorry but it's a pop culture reference?...

Don't have a cow man.

Also if we had a "D'oh!" warhorn I think it would be the first warhorn I actually use

It's less of an event and more of a live test of new tracking tools. Is it silly? Yes. But its easily ignorable.
