Line 70:

** People who ''do'' have menial jobs like flipping burgers are looked down upon as if they were a lower class of person, especially when compared to those who have "better" jobs.

** At the end of the video, Linkara gets his student loan bill, much to his dismay. This pokes at the fact that the comic did not once address the tuition costs of college, which could leave someone paying well after college.

* The following famous quote from [[Captain America]] sounds inspiring, until you remember that truth is quite often ''subjective'', and that sometimes what someone sees as truth may not be clear-cut. In fact, it might be out-and-out false. Also, how is the world supposed to get to the River of Truth if one is standing in front of it and refusing to get out of the way?

{{quote|''Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right.

** Also note that despite that badass speech, Captain America DID ultimately move.
