  • Anvilicious: In case you somehow missed it, this episode is a giant metaphor for gun control.
  • Critical Dissonance: The episode was praised by critics for its attempt to talk about gun violence and gun control. However, many fan and audience reactions were very poor as they tackled gun control in a poor way to look progressive and relevant, as well as the reasons below.
  • Don't Shoot the Message: The episode is not only criticized for its lack of subtlety on the subject of gun usage, but also because the remotes don't kill their victims, but rather turn them into animate skeletons and treating it with the simplicity of a manageable new problem rather than a long running one that is difficult to clean up. Thus, some fans who support gun control dislike the episode.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The episode ends by having the remotes be banned before any of them were in the hands of the public, which avoids the question of "who is going to go around and confiscate all the remotes from the people?".
