* EthnicScrappy: With only a single exception, the majority of Asian characters were depicted as sleazy one-dimensional villains with ridiculously thick accents.
* SpecialEffectFailure: The animation leaves a lot to be desired. The characters have a very limited range of facial expressions and the movements don't have the frame-by-frame consistency that ''Archer'' and even ''South Park'' always maintain.

Now an Index disallowing examples.


* AcceptableTargets:
** Foreigners. Every single one of them is portrayed as either amoral, lecherous or stupid and they've all got ridiculously thick accents. Especially noticeable with the Asian characters, who aren't even voiced by actual Asians.
** The series wasn't above fat-shaming either, regardless of the individual's lifestyle choices. One overweight woman was made the butt of several fat jokes despite being introduced working out at a gym. Essentially the series was saying fat people deserve to be mocked until they're no longer fat.

* IdiotPlot: None of the plots would work if all the main characters were not total morons. Luckily(?), they are.

* ClicheStorm: Most reviews point out that every character conforms to a basic archetype with no improvements or subversions made to help them stand out from any other police parody.

* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: The most common criticism of this show is that it looks and sounds like a rip-off of ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}''. The creators have insisted that this is merely a coincidence, as they began developing PH back in 1996.
