- Awesome Art: The first two shorts in particular have some very smooth and fluid animation.
- Memetic Psychopath: In any video of the first TV commercial, expect to see multiple comments claiming that Superman murdered Nick O'Teen (by throwing him into the sky), and calling it Disproportionate Retribution. You may also see comments about how he went into orbit at mach seven.
- Sequelitis: Most viewers have a lesser opinion of the third commercial due to the animation being slightly cheaper than that of the first two. However, most will still agree that the third one's animation is still good, just not quite as fluid and impressive as the first two.
- So Bad, It's Good: Aside from the slick animation (provided by the studio founded by Richard Williams) the execution of the commercials is so ham-handed they become hilarious. Particularly the first commercial, where Superman breaks his Thou Shalt Not Kill rule and throws everyday, non-powered doofus Nick O'Teen into orbit for selling cigarettes to kids.
