The show, which originally aired on Creator/{{TVA}}, is entirely dominated by RuleOfFunny and is willingly trying to be [[StylisticSuck absolutely terrible in terms of quality, in an hilarious way]]. Every single trope originating from soap operas is mercilessly parodied, although the creators confess that sometimes they failed to attain the degree of ridicule some actual soap opera shows possess.

That being said, in a later episode, Becky's answering machine mentioned the wqt and gave the same definition than Criquette did when playing Scrabble, so it ''might'' be a real animal in the series' world.

* EverythingIsBetterWithPenguins: Subverted. When at the North Pole, Britany was enraptured to see a penguin and ran to get closer to it... much to the horror of Brett as the penguin was in fact a nun (which hilariously was perceived as life-threatening).

** Played for laughs when Criquette wants to slap Ridge. She doesn't want to chip her nails, so she hits Ridge with a weak-looking slap that sends him falling backwards into a pile of cardboard boxes. The next time he is seen, Ridge is doing a news report while wearing a neck brace.
** At the start of ''The Unexpected Return of Brenda'', several characters repeatedly slap each other, either to send a message, respond to a slight that the recipient did, or simply as a part of a normal conversation. Brad gets the most of it, up to and including a part that solely consists of him getting slapped.
