In season 3, episode 11, we see a perfect example of what is called "bad Japanophilism". In this episode, we see the creators of the show portray Japanese people as extremely obedient, conforming and sinister. These misconceptions are demonstrated through the children's behavior in class after attending the chinpokomon camp, Stan's frantic consumption of the chinpokomon products and the bombing Pearl Harbor mini game in the chinpokomon video game respectively.
