The film features a character with a past as a drag queen, which is treated as a shameful secret and a primary source of comedic embarrassment. The humor largely stems from the character's desperate attempts to hide this identity and the awkwardness of its potential reveal, framing drag as a source of ridicule rather than dignity or acceptance.

The film features a character whose gender presentation is used for comedic effect. The revelation that Carlotta, initially presented as a woman, is a man in drag serves as a major plot twist, primarily to humiliate another character. This portrayal leverages gender non-conformity for mockery without offering depth or positive representation.
