YMMV / The Adventures of Barry Ween, Boy Genius

• Strawman Has a Point: The General from the "Outbreak" spoof is supposed to be a huge jerk, yelling at subordinates and ordering the school bombed to contain a virus. The problem is... he's completely right. The driver was incredibly stupid by swerving the truck around just to miss a dog, especially considering what he's carrying. And as for the school, it's mentioned that there is no cure for the disease (until Barry makes one, but they can't know that), and containment, along with elements of Mercy Kill, really is the only realistic option.
• Unintentional Period Piece: Very firmly set in the mid-to late '90s. Jeremy is obsessed with the short-lived syndicated TV show Relic Hunter, the Internet has barely gotten off the ground, nobody has a cell phone, and one issue has a lot of jokes about The Phantom Menace.
