* BreakingPointSwearing: Invoked by Rachel and ''defied'' by The Critic. Rachel tells The Critic that most of his viewer base watches his videos because they like to see him swear and drop the F-bomb at least OncePerEpisode and challenges him to go a whole year without using the F-word at all. The Critic agrees, only to reveal he ''already gone the entire year'' without using the F-Word, which he uses to further his point that she shouldn't resort to shock value as the main pull if there's nothing of substance to back it up.

** The toy-burning scene has the Critic musing that it's rather appropriate that this film stars Creator/NathanLane (as Uncle UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein), given that the aforementioned scene--with all its disturbing parallels to UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust and, rather jarringly, accompanied by cheerful music and dancing from the Rat King--reminds him of the ''SpringtimeForHitler'' musical from ''Film/TheProducers'', where Lane played Max Bialystock, one half of the eponymous theatre producers-slash-scam artists, from both the 2001 Broadway production and the 2005 film.
