  • Alternate Character Interpretation: Did Butters really tell Bebe to go fuck herself as a misled way to impress her, or was he just trying to break his image as a wimp? Or could it be possible that he enlisted the help of CumHammer in the first place was because he was still bitter at her and several other girls for the Gender War back in Season 20, and CumHammer suggested it as a plan of revenge?
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Watching a child get a horrific beatdown is terrible. Watching the person giving up said child that beatdown be a 10-year old Girly Girl with the reasons being that her victim told her to “go fuck yourself” and said child doesn’t mind getting beaten up at all is hilarious.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: The host of Good Morning Canada was immediately well-liked due to bluntly and accurately telling the Prince and his wife that they're attention-seeking hypocrites who overplay the victim card.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: While the episode was mostly well-received by audiences, including North America, it was especially popular with British viewers, who had grown tired of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's antics in the media and loved the episode for its no holds barred Take That! towards their behavior.
  • Improved Second Attempt: While episode is considered to be a Spiritual Successor to "Super Hard PCness" as mentioned below, it's also considered to be a major improvement over said episode. "Super Hard PCness" was heavily criticized for being needlessly cruel to Kyle where everyone acts uncharacteristically mean to him while Kyle blames the entire Canadian race for his hardships, which ends with Kyle Jumping Off the Slippery Slope and accidentally getting President Garrison to nuke Canada. Here, Kyle's only blaming two specific Canadians (the Canadian prince and his wife) for his hardships where they actually are causing problems for him and while his friends are indifferent to his plight at first, they do come around and personally invite Kyle to hang out with him, and the episode ends with Kyle getting a happy ending and delivering An Aesop.
  • Jerkass Woobie: The Prince of Canada's wife has been a client of CumHammer since childhood and now she's literally empty inside. When Kyle convinces everyone it's wrong to turn your whole identity into a brand you create for yourself, the prince tries desperately to get her to join them in walking out, but she just stands there motionless until he gives up.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Many people, especially Britons, watched the episode mainly to see the show's take on Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
  • Spiritual Successor: This episode serves as one to "Super Hard PCness". Like that episode, this one focuses on Kyle who grows tired of the antics committed by Canadians, gets frequently harassed by a jerkass couple, his peers are indifferent to his plight, tries changing his appearance, and plays the victim card. There's even a fight between a boy and a girl that the whole school watches while Kyle intervenes to stop said fight. Heidi even appears where the fight is taking place, though she's not the one fighting.
  • Tear Jerker: Unlike the Canadian prince, who quits being a brand and gives up his wealth and status, his wife has become dead inside from letting her brand be her only identity and doesn't give it up. The prince tries to tell her to go with him and live as regular people, but she stays in the CumHammer building until he gives up and non-verbally ends the relationship by going without her. The prince may have troubled Kyle to no end, but it's sad to watch his marriage end like that.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: While it's easy to feel bad for the Prince of Canada when he realizes his wife will leave him the second he decides to renounce his fame and status, his redemption is still handed out a little too easily. Not only did he physically endanger Kyle by lobbing polo balls through his neighbor's windows, but he went as far as exposing himself to a child.
