Note: Meg shows herself to be considerably hypocritical and inappropriately moralistic (if not even [[Ageism#Discrimination|ageist]]) in this episode, because she tells Brian just at first to stop hitting on Patty because "it's gross, stop it" and "she's 18" (so adult and perfectly legal according to Rhode Island's law, and even the same exact age as Meg), but she didn't use the same argument when Lois hit on and kissed one previous Meg's boyfriend or when Quagmire hit on Meg's friends numerous times, or even when [[Taylor Swift]] dated her brother Chris (a barely pubescent boy), not to mention that Meg dated Mayor West more than once, Quagmire, the ''[[Super Friends]]'' announcer, Seamus, Bruce (even almost getting married with this latter), and even sexually harassed Brian, Joe, Bonnie and Santa Claus. And the list goes on. However, it could have been just an excuse not to risk to be separated from Patty and lose her as a friend as she states she fears at the end of the episode. The side story involving Meg and Brian and their portrayal and characterization in this episode is in fact the main reason for its negative criticism and for being one of the lowest rated episodes of ''Family Guy'' by either critics and audiences/fans.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.tvfanatic.com/2016/01/family-guy-season-14-episode-12-review-scammed-yankees/ | title=Family Guy Season 14 Episode 12 Review: Scammed Yankees | date=18 January 2016 }}</ref>
