Line 6:
* '''Inverted''': A person from a primitive culture leaves his tribe for modern, urban society and finds the people there morally superior.
* '''Subverted''': The tribe appears to be made up of [[Noble Savage|Noble Savages]] but they turn out to be just as dishonest, corrupt, and greedy as anyone in "civilized" society.
* '''Double Subverted''': Because they were exposed to it by Bob! [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]!
* '''Parodied''': The savages are paid actors!
* '''Deconstructed''': The work examines poverty and hardship caused by a life of hunting-gathering or subsistence farming. A life of near constant desperation makes it hard for the tribe to create the moral codes we'd expect from [[Noble Savage|Noble Savages]]. [[Truth in Television]] as nomadic tribes had little room for compassion to the sick and disabled. Infanticide was also common.
