The thing with SoL is that it must conform to the conventions of everyday life to a certain extent. If it deviates too much, it risks losing that feeling of immersion and nostalgia that the entire genre draws upon to gain its. Of course, that threshold varies with the individual, so some people might be fine with it while others aren't.
The new elements just don't mesh all that well with its designation as an SoL, but (in fear of a pointless genre debate) that's just how I see it. In any case, it's good for the comedy side of things, so it balances out somehow.
