* MagnificentBastard: Once a normal turkey before being accidentally turned into a clone of President Curtis, [[EvilDoppelganger Turkey President]] quickly begins his plan to have turkeys TakeOverTheWorld. He turns turkeys into hybrid super soldiers and takes advantage of the Statue of Liberty to sell New York to France, using the money to buy the loyalty of Congress. Turning the Washington Monument into a laser which will change all turkeys of the world into super soldiers, President Turkey fights Curtis on equal footing, [[NearVillainVictory coming within seconds of victory]].

* RealismInducedHorror: Husband being turned into a turkey? Not the most common fear... except that numerous militaries throughout the world have subjected their soldiers to unethical experiments of dubious scientific value, and even more ethical militaries still produce their fair share of PTSD. That your spouse in the military can end up a mental trainwreck where even the most mundane of events can trigger a flashback, and your government may not even pay for the longterm healthcare needed? Very, very real.

* FridgeBrilliance: Why didn't the Turkey President [[DidntThinkThisThrough think his]] SadisticChoice [[DidntThinkThisThrough through?]] Because despite having human DNA, he's still just a turkey, and still has the mind of one too. Just because he has a human form now, doesn't make him smart.

* IdiotPlot: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. As is pointed out by several characters InUniverse, there ''really'' isn't any need for Rick and the President's conflict to get out of hand the way it does, but the two are way too much into their bout of SitComArchnemesis-driven rivalry to care. The whole mess could have been avoided by either Rick or President Curtis not being so confrontational with each other, or by the President not personally turning into a turkey, or by wearing some sort of identification in addition to the tracking chip. Or really, there's a nearly unlimited number of solutions that ''don't'' involve turning anyone into a turkey. [[RunningGag Or by fucking and getting it over with.]] But both the President and Rick want to have their insane fun...

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: An otherwise decent all-American boy is literally de-humanized by the military so that politicians can bother with what is ultimately a petty rivalry, and his own government won't even cover his healthcare or pay him enough to feed his family? Nope, no social commentary there.

* TheWoobie: Coop and Mary Lou. The Stinger shows that they had their health insurance cut and are too poor to afford knock off cereal. This is in addition to having a baby to raise and Coop's PTSD popping up at inopportune moments.

** Take a close look at Mary Lou while Coop is having the equivalent of a PTSD flashback. She's ''backing away'' from her man and shielding their son from him. That relationship may already be doomed.

* FridgeHorror: Based on TheStinger, how are all of the other marines doing? They too got turned into turkeys, got called back into combat, presumably had their health insurance cut and also can't afford to feed their families.
