- Shallow Parody:
- Whenever Nietzsche is involved. Most likely meant to lampoon the fact that most people know him as a font for cool quotes rather than as a philosopher.
- Thomas More's Utopia is also misrepresented in a few ways, not the least of which being that it is not treated as the satirical work that it actually is.
- The critiques of capitalism, liberalism, or objectivism also lack any nuance.
- Tear Jerker: "It danced no more."
