| 1 | * HarsherInHindsight: Among the men in Hollywood who have since been exposed for sexual harassment since this episode aired was [[WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse Chris Savino]], one of his victims being Anne Walker Farrell, a storyboard artist and animator who worked on this episode. |
| 2 | * HeartwarmingInHindsight: While Diane fails to bring Hank to justice, in 2020 at the show's time, journalists were able to bring another predator to task: Vance Waggoner, who allegedly strangled his wife. They learned from Diane's mistakes to deliver hard evidence and let it go viral. As a result, Vance suffers a minor KarmaHoudiniWarranty due to losing some career opportunities, including ''Philbert''. |
| 3 | * InferredHolocaust: A somewhat positive example; while Hank still has the public's favor for now, it has since become clear that the real world's "[=MeToo=]" movement isn't going to be drowned out and forgotten. Therefore, it is unlikely that Hank will continue to maintain his HuggyHuggyHippos reputation for much longer, making the episode's ending come off as an Esoteric DownerEnding. |
| 4 | * UnintentionalPeriodPiece: While not fully dated, the episode's point about how Hank [[KarmaHoudini is able to escape punishment for his crimes due to his fame]] comes off as far less pointed and more ironic only a few years since then, given the wave of high-profile sexual abuse and other cases against high-level figures in the entertainment industry (most famously being that of Harvey Weinstein), many of which ended in either ruined careers or outright jail time. |
