Like that one with Joe's AWOL son. F***ing HELL that was one of the worst half hours of television. And then there are the episodes that don't actually have any humor in them at all and play it completely straight, like the Meg standing up for herself episode.
The ones where they try to make legitimate commentaries on crap suck because you aren't supposed to like or think any character on the show is anything more than a selfish s***head who would be loathed by normal people in real life, so it all falls flat when they try to be deep and try to display themselves as anything more than flat comedic characters.
American Dad has their legitimate commentaries down because even though their characters all act like jackasses, you can tell they all really do care for each other (even if some of them are really bad people). God, American Dad is such a well written show nowadays.
