Oh my god, the whole part where they make Philbert an unlikable, but vulnerable asshole and everyone likes him despite the point being that they made him intentionally unlikable.

And people like him and cheer for him anyway.

And they very specifically, in no uncertain terms, call out that specific thing.

I bet it's still going to go over so many people's heads.

Also I really like that they successfully pulled off the bit where they point at their own show and their own character and say "YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LIKE HIM" directly to their own audience

But like, it's also absolutely a valid criticism for the whole scene of irony poisoned and cynically detached asshole protagonists we're getting so, so many of these days
