* ValuesResonance: In a 1999 strip published during the height of post-Columbine hysteria, Jeremy responds to his father's claims that [[TheNewRockAndRoll the video game industry is the cause of youth violence]] by jokingly accusing the automotive industry of causing the high amount of deaths in car accidents. After the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012 and the Parkland shooting in 2018, claims like those of Jeremy's dad would end up resurfacing again and facing just as much derision from actual youths and gamers.

* ValuesDissonance: In a mid-90's strip, Jeremy sees his dad smoking a cigar. Walt explains that one of his patients gave them out in celebration of a new baby, and then asks Jeremy "What do you think? Pretty cool, huh?" Not exactly something you'd expect to hear a responsible dad say to his son, especially in times of so many anti-drug campaigns.

* WereStillRelevantDammit: Some think that the creators are still able to perfectly capture teenage and parent life without feeling like you're watching a rerun from a really old sitcom, despite the fact that the comic began in 1997 and that the creators haven't raised a teenager in ''quite'' a while. Others think the strip is a printed slurry of lazy, decades-old stereotypes and a 60-something man's Oedipal Complex.

* HilariousInHindsight: One arc involved Jeremy teaching Walt how to use the computer's new voice recognition software. Walt says, "Call the plumber" and is disappointed to see the computer merely typing the words instrad of actually calling the plumber. Thanks to [[TechnologyMarchesOn technology marching on]], apps such as Siri, Cortana, or Alexa would fulfill Walt's desire to have voice recognition software obey his requests.

** Another 90s strip has Jeremy and Hector telling Connie how they aced their lifeguard training, only for Hector to reveal that Jeremy got points off for gagging on the CPR dummy while doing mouth-to-mouth; Jeremy responds "So ''sue'' me! The thing looked like Richard Simmons!" Nowadays, this joke would be derided as homophobic.
