YMMV / The Simpsons S 18 E 22 You Kent Always Say What You Want

• Unintentional Period Piece:
  • The episode parodies the raunchy programming the Fox network was known for during the 2000s. There is also a fleeting reference to YouTube's "star rating" system, which was soon after replaced by its current "like/dislike" evaluations.
  • Moreover, the jab at Fox News references the then-recent Terri Schiavo case.
  • Also, Fox News being seen as the archetypical conservative news outlet began to look dated in the 2020s as a fair amount of their conservative fanbase left for other more hard-right outlets such as Newsmax and OAN during this time in response to some of Fox's decisions.
