Sarah Banet-Weiser, the author of Kids Rule!: Nickelodeon and Consumer Citizenship, said that the episode "consciously mocks the authenticity of "being happy," so that the unofficial anthem of Ren & Stimpy, "Happy Happy Joy Joy" is provocatively ironic." Banet-Weiser also said "Indeed, the mocking of the earnestness of both a conventional sense of happiness and, more obliquely, children's television shows is clearly evident in this episode."
