Taken on its own, the first scene of this movie - where Team America blows up France for basically no reason - could be read as a critique of American interventionism. "This is what we do to other countries, imagine if we did it to white people!"
Also, if you were to take the final monologue, and put the text "THIS IS WHAT AMERICANS ACTUALLY BELIEVE" under it, it would actually become really funny.
Jacobson has a weakness for breaking into one-line paragraphs, so as to nudge the punch line on us. The effect is bullying
oh shit, I do that with my punchlines a lot, am I a hack?
