- Hilarious in Hindsight:
- As of 2010, Great Britain is ruled by a Liberal-Conservative coalition.
- And post-Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May identifies herself as a Liberal Conservative.
- In "O Foolish Fay", the Fairy Queen acknowledges her attraction to Captain Shaw, London's fire chief at the time and a regular first-night attendee. A few years later, Shaw was involved in a messy adultery scandal.
- Protagonist Title Fallacy: Iolanthe has an important role, but she's definitely not the main character.
- Tear Jerker: When Iolanthe pleads her case to the Lord Chancellor, and then when her plea fails, revealing her identity to him, and his completely non-comedic reaction.
