History YMMV / HTFTongueInCheek

* CreatorBacklash: Even the creators of the show ''themselves'' admitted later on that they went a little too far when creating this episode.

* FanonDiscontinuity: For having the most gruesome death in the entire series (excluding "Wishy Washy" and even then, this episode tops that), it's extremely easy to ignore this episode, especially considering that the ants fortunately make no more appearances after this.

* CatharsisFactor: The Ants ''[[LaserGuidedKarma fell victim]'' to ChuckCunninghamSyndrome after this episode and haven't appeared since. The audience can now breathe a sigh of relief [[TakeThatScrappy knowing The Ants won't be missed]].

* KarmicOverkill: Although all the episodes in which Sniffles faces off with the Ants qualify, this one takes it up multiple notches. Sure, the anteater is trying to swallow the Ants again and (rather intentionally or not[[note]]we just what happens on the outside yet the destruction happens from the inside[[/note]]) destroys their home. The problem? The Ants [[DisproportionateRetribution respond]] with ''horribly'' [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing]] Sniffles in gruesome ways even for a [[{{Gorn}} franchise like this]] and give him one of, if not the, worst death in the whole franchise.

* TearJerker: What the ants do to Sniffles. The fact that he even ''bursts into tears'' during this certainty makes it hard not to shed a tear for him.
* TheScrappy: Have a guess. Thankfully, The Ants are not seen again after this episode.

* MoralEventHorizon: The ants has always pulled [[{{Sadist}} sadistic]], [[DisproportionateRetribution disproportionate]] ColdBloodedTorture against Sniffles, but they ultimately cross the line here when they use his mind-controlling machine against him to put himself through a brutal MutilationConga.

* MoralEventHorizon: While the ants' ColdBloodedTorture towards Sniffles in previous episodes were already inexcusably cruel in general, they '''definitely''' cross the line here such as severing Sniffles' hand and using his mind controlling machine against him to break his teeth, shred his tongue, impale his own tail, and even tying his tongue to an oar and twisting it so his organs pop out, killing him.

* JerkassWoobie: Sniffles. While he did attempt to kill the whole ant family and destroyed their home, most fans find his death so cringe-inducing that any thrown away sympathy they had for Sniffles immediately came back.
