1	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Jimmy is such a BadLiar, [[AmbiguousSituation they probably should’ve sworn him in]].
2	* FridgeBrilliance: Towards the end of Jimmy's long story to the court, Tom casually remarks that "Maybe they should have sworn him in." Considering that Jimmy quickly worked up a reputation as a liar with the [=MST3K=] cast, it makes you wonder if [[UnreliableNarrator maybe the story itself was a lie]].
3	* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
4	** The jokes that Jimmy's actor is [[DawsonCasting clearly too old to convincingly play a teenager]]:
5	--->'''Joel (as Jimmy):''' Oh boy, oh boy! I won, I won! After 11 years in high school I finally won... ''something''!
6	** Quite a few of the jokes about Jimmy winning the essay contest are funny, but this one takes the cake, after Jimmy comes home after being beat up by a couple of mobsters:
7	--->'''Jimmy''': Mom! Dad!\
8	'''Joel''': I won the Get-The-Crap-Kicked-Out-Of-You Contest!
9	** The series of embellishments Joel and the Bots tack on after Jimmy says he's just doing the shoe boy gig till his dad buys the place.
10	** Upon Jimmy's impromptu decision to rob a diner: "Uh, c-can I... can I rob you?"
11	** "If I had parents, I'd accuse them right now."
12	*** "I accuse her '''hair'''."
13	** To represent Jimmy's subconscious mind, they bring out an elaborate balancing mobile full of words and ideas spinning around. It's simple, yet sublimely hilarious.
14	*** "Hey, there's 'stupid.' Really big!"
15	** When Tom and Crow try to get Joel to give them a hamburger, by pointing a tank at him!
16	** "Eleanor Roosevelt is pissed!"
17	** Kitty: "And this is Aunt Harriet." Crow: "'Nuff said."
18	** (after Jimmy finishes his story to the judge) "Seeing as it's your birthday, you're free to go."
19	* HarsherInHindsight:
20	** A quick shot of Jimmy's dad sitting with a nubile nymph in his lap prompts a riff of "Walt Creator/{{Disney}} auditions another potential [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Snow White]]!" After the Hollywood sexual harassment scandal that broke out in late 2017, it's suddenly more cringe-worthy than funny[[note]]Although it ''had'' been something of an open secret for as long as the industry existed...[[/note]].
21	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Gypsy's "ideal family" drawing is the Satellite of Love crew, all holding hands.
22	** [[YankTheDogsChain Then]] "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S05E12Mitchell Mitchell]]" happened.
23	* HilariousInHindsight: When a group of country-esque people suddenly appear in the restaurant, Joel comments that he hopes they don't start singing Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy Breaky Heart". A couple of months after this episode aired, Music/WeirdAlYankovic released ''Alapalooza'', which has a parody of that song called "Achy Breaky Song" with the narrator singing about how much he hates that song.
