  • Designated Hero: No one seems particularly bothered by the fact that Mutato and his "grandfather" drugged, kidnapped, and forcibly impregnated at least two women.
  • Poor Man's Substitute: Given Cher was unavailable, she only lent the rights to her music and allowed an impersonator to play her in the final scene.
  • Values Dissonance: It's probably a given that a story about a man going around drugging women and then forcibly impregnating them without their consent or even knowledge couldn't be portrayed in as a light-hearted a manner as the episode does it outside of the 1990s.
