I am not sure how this episode is funny, so please help me uderstand.
This episode deals with the loss of a loved one and how our children react to that loss: anger, etc. It also deals with bullying and what happens when the child getting bullied seeks revenge. It also deals with the reality that numerous high schools and universities spend more money on sports teams than educating our children academically. And finally, using enhancement drugs to win at all costs.
As for enhancement drugs, today we can choose to change any physical feature of our children BEFORE they are born. Gene manipulation and gene splicing are being done all over the world. What makes us think that cross-species gene mixing is not taking place as well? Just some thoughts...
