** Along with Dennis' line about having emotions like some fourteen-year-old (the time he was raped), him breaking down so hard when faced with his mother's skeleton gets darker when "Frank vs Russia" makes explicit that Barbara either groomed (at best) or sexually abused him (at worst).

* OneTruePairing: There are fracturing viewpoints, of course, but most agree the Gang are and deserve to be in a toxic, incestuous polycule for the rest of their lives. Most, including the creators: Frank and Charlie are LikeAnOldMarriedCouple, Mac and Dennis are TheMasochismTango that they don't want to admit, "Mac and Dennis Break Up" commentary has them say Dennis is attracted to everyone except Charlie, while Glenn in "The Gang Broke Dee" commentary and Kaitlin in interviews call Dee/Dennis a romance.

* ReplacementScrappy: Cindy's character, while genuinely necessary to fill Glenn Howerton's absence in the first episode of Season 13, was a deliberate invocation of this trope -- a new character played by a well-known celebrity, made to fill a void yet always feeling somewhat out-of-place. Many viewers who got the joke [[XPacHeat still hated the character regardless]].

It doesn't help that Creator/MindyKaling has become somewhat more maligned over the years, which makes the negative reception towards Cindy (and in turn, the episode) even worse.

** Uncle Jack has a similar reception in the fandom because of his [[CreepyUncle creepy]] pedophilic tendencies, as well as the strong suspicion that he may have molested Charlie as a child. Regardless, many of his moments still garner a lot of laughs, due in large part to Creator/AndrewFriedman's hilarious delivery.
