* AmbiguousSyntax: The farmer who finds Klepper beating up the scarecrows in his field (which Klepper hallucinates as him beating his "enemies") in the final episode tells him, "All this has ''consequences,'' asshole! ''Real consequences!''" It's left ambiguous if he's just talking about the consequences Klepper tearing up his scarecrows will have for his field, or if he's aware that Klepper peddles conspiracy theories and he's warning him about that.

* CuttingBackToReality: In the last episode, our host contemplates staying in his doomsday bunker, then climbs out to face his ''enemies'' manifest as clearly-labeled headliners. Over time, we get intermittent cuts to him fighting and swinging a sword against thin air until a farmer finds him tearing up his scarecrow in his field, and being asked, Jordan Klepper awkwardly says that he's "fighting all the enemies", protecting "the forgotten man". The farmer tells him that he and his friends are making a mess of everything.

** Then there's the fact that Jordan's "final battle" is revealed to be a hallucination, and that Jordan's "enemies" are in reality... a strawman (the exit to Jordan's bunker being located on an open field). Yes, Jordan is literally beating a strawman.

Effectively a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Series/TheColbertReport'', the show is a parody of Radio/AlexJones and the general trend of "Alt-Right" media commentators, havng a greater focus on wacky correspondents. Notably, the show managed to attract Jones' ire ''before it even premiered''. This did not go unacknowledged.
