* SocietyMarchesOn: The episode aired in 1994 while the DoomsdayClock was still at the most optimistic distance from midnight: ''17 minutes''. 1995 saw the clock get closer to midnight, and at 2020, the time is 11:58, the closest it has ever been since ''1958''.

* ValuesDissonance: Remember, kids: Repress your emotions, smile constantly, never mention anything unpleasant (''especially to your parents''), never complain, women exist to serve the men of the family, fear the DirtyCommies, and let the government do whatever it likes in the name of beating the Red Menace! Basically, the only values the short feature endorse that ''don't'' fall under this are "wash up before meals", "don't spend too long on the phone", and "help your parents with the dishes, especially if they made you dinner".

* RootingForTheEmpire: Mike & the 'Bots are strangely sympathetic to the Enemy's propaganda broadcast after taking over the hero's radio station. Tom even starts humming the Soviet national anthem in an outbreak of PatrioticFervor (after humming "The Star-Spangled Banner" during the hero's DeadlineNews moment.)

** Hell, Mike and Crow start ''dancing'' to the Soviet anthem, such is their fervor.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The whole short, really.
-->'''Mike:'''(As Junior) Father, I had a feeling today.\\
'''Tom Servo:''' (As Father) Well, don't, Son.
** The way Servo delivers this line as the daughter makes it funnier:
-->'''Servo:''' ''(as Daughter)'' Dad, I'm dating a Negro!
** You can tell by the way Mike has said this, he has done it before:
-->'''Mike:''' All right. Spankings all around, then.
** And during TheSummation at the end:
-->'''Narrator''': Do you begin to see now how a date with your family can be a truly special occasion?\\
'''Mike:''' ''(as Narrator)'' Do you? '''DO YOU?'''\\
'''Narrator:''' And why Brother and Sister looked forward to the evening?\\
'''Mike:''' ''(as Narrator)'' '''WELL, DO YOU? BETTER SAY "YES", DAMMIT!'''
* {{Squick}}: A reasonable reaction to the narrator explaining that the elder son should "help Mother to her chair like he would his best girl."
-->'''Mike:''' The less said about this, the better.\\
'''Servo:''' Yeah.
** Also this:
--> '''Narrator:''' The women of this family seem to feel they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.
