  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Calculon having a yacht so big it has a pool with another yacht in it was supposed to be an over the top joke. Rich people today actually do have boats big enough to park smaller boats in them.
  • Values Dissonance: While the episode was already edgy for the time, in light of the trans-acceptance movement of the 2010s and following conservative pushback, most of the episode's "joke" have become incredibly uncomfortable, playing right into the stereotype of trans women as gross men who dress up in order to cheat at sports and objectify "real women." With how difficult gender transition is in real life, and the lack of evidence for trans women dominating sports, the episode's whole premise looks hopelessly tone-deaf and transphobic.
