  • Armstrong’s motivational image is the clearest example of poor aging.
  • Dated language, stereotype tournament teams and bisexuality used as a gimmick are criticized.
  • Vitamin Water’s extensive placement feels dated; its reported catering arrangement leads to disagreement about whether the brand still exists and remains worth drinking.
  • Long and Vaughn have poor haircuts, while Goodman’s feathered hair is exempted.
  • Patches’s dialogue is broadly judged poorly aged.
  • Peter betting on his own team now evokes sporting suspensions; the panel distinguishes betting against oneself and debates whether backing one’s own win should be allowed.
