Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict, a comedic parody of 1980s action movies, is inherently apolitical, focusing on genre subversion rather than promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies. Its humor derives from the absurdity of its characters and situations, neutralizing any potential political leanings.
The movie features a predominantly white main cast without explicit DEI-driven race or gender swaps of traditional roles. Its narrative, a parody of 1980s action films, satirizes masculine tropes for comedic effect rather than offering an explicit DEI critique of traditional identities.
Secondary
MacGruber does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film's plot and character arcs are entirely devoid of queer representation, resulting in no discernible impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The film "MacGruber" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on action-comedy tropes and parody without engaging with transgender identities or experiences.
The film features Vicki St. Elmo as a capable agent who participates in various action sequences, primarily utilizing firearms. There are no clear instances where she or any other female character engages in and wins direct hand-to-hand or melee weapon combat against one or more male opponents.
The film is an adaptation of an SNL sketch featuring the character MacGruber, who retains his original male gender. No other established characters from the source material or prior canon appear to have undergone a gender swap in the film.
MacGruber is an adaptation of a Saturday Night Live sketch. The main characters, MacGruber and Vicki St. Elmo, are portrayed by the same actors (Will Forte and Kristen Wiig) who originated them, maintaining their established race. New characters created for the film do not qualify as race swaps.
