However, the downside of the episode is that caution must be exercised when watching it due to its psychological impact, as it can lower the self-esteem of even the younger viewers because of exaggerated references to age surrounding a person who is only 50 years old.
In conclusion, these exaggerated jokes about the age of a 50-year-old person reduce the quality of an episode that was otherwise well-scripted and well-acted by the cast. This diminishes the viewer's happiness when such a topic is handled in that manner. Therefore, for the sake of mental well-being, it is best to watch this episode merely out of curiosity, but it would not be advisable to rewatch it multiple times unless you are particularly captivated by the naturalness of the dialogues. Fortunately, other episodes of the same series also exhibit this characteristic naturalness without negatively affecting the viewer's mental state.
