  • Don't Shoot the Message: This episode has been widely lambasted by many viewers and critics who share the creators’ dislike and criticisms towards Donald Trump and would have otherwise agreed with their statements about his presidency. There are several problems many of them have, like how the show relies on easy, lazy, surface-level jokes that poke fun at Trump, jokes that were already getting old and were done better by other comedians; or that the episode doesn’t add anything new or insightful to criticize Trump’s presidency; or how it plays Trump's sexual assault allegations for laughs when he harasses and attempts to rape Meg, which many viewers did not find funny because of its sensitive subject matter.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau breaks up the climactic fight, as the handsome epitome of what a real leader is. After this episode aired, several photos of a younger Trudeau in blackface surfaced. Even worse, he admitted he couldn't remember how many times he did this.
  • Moral Event Horizon: President Trump himself crosses the line when attempting to rape Meg in the most menacing way possible.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Trump trying to rape Meg via Jabba the Hut is quite terrifying.
