  • Accidental Aesop / Alternate Aesop Interpretation: It isn't clear if MeatCanyon intended an aesop here, but the storyline of episode 6 could easily be a message about supporting a cause without knowing what it's about. Katz not knowing about just how evil the mad scientist's manifesto was could be seen as an analogy for religious believers ignorant about the contents of scripture (especially The Bible and The Qur'an). It doesn't even have to be religious, it could be about a general lack of questioning authority.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • The honest way King says "We all do hate crimes!" And the way his fellow officer doesn't object to that.
    • King's response to seeing Chris Kyle's Blood Magic for the first time is rather ... unconventional.
    King: God damn! I'm no pastor, but this seems downright Jewish!
    • If you look closely at the mad scientist's book in episode 6, you can see one of the examples of "horrible evil shit" the writer planned to do is "Kill Epstein to Protect Pedophiles. Sorry, buddy".
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Giuseppe. This chef-monster stood out for being a surprisingly good person in a Crapsack World. People in the comment section of episode 4 were talking about how wholesome he is and were begging for Meat to keep Giuseppe alive, which (thankfully) he did. We told you this was Lighter and Softer compared to MeatCanyon's other work!
    • The priest from episode 4, to a lesser degree. His voice acting was surprisingly good for an unnamed character who only showed up in one episode.
  • Evil Is Cool: Chris Kyle, the American Sniper, now in ghostly form with Unfinished Business. A war hero's ghost is cool enough, but having a nickname like "God's Holiest Angel"note  and going One-Winged Angel in the last episode surely adds to that.
