Some authors like to play favorites making one side look good one, while making fun of the side they don't sympathise with.
Not in this show. In this kind of show, there is no such thing as an acceptable target. They either mock all sides of an argument or none.
This trope is never played completely straight all the time due to the fact that Most Writers Are Human and all humans are biased (at least unconsciously).
This trope applies when a show doesn't have bias for any side in a given situation. However, it can be used inside the story too, when a character is particularly offensive to everybody.
A number of people have called themselves equal-opportunity offenders when defending themselves from accusations of bias, bigotry, etc, and have had varying degrees of success. The less successful ones have helped make the phrase a tad controversial, if only by association.
In addition, it has been argued that if different groups of people are in unequal situations to begin with, then it's difficult to offend them all "the same". * Of course, this argument is itself controversial, and has been challenged as misguided, unfair, or patronizing. It's a heated debate.
