* [[Tropers/Forced Dj 7|Forced Dj 7]]: In the episode where Former President Carter tries to mend the relationship with Hank and his father, well, Peggy was a complete egotistic jerkass. When her son said about an idea that involved getting a new father, she said that she took his "horrible" idea and made it her "excellent" idea. Not just that, but if he didn't meet Carter, then their Christmas would be ruined. What does Peggy do after the two mend their relationship, she takes credit for saving Christmas. Sorry, but it was either the Former President, or the kid who saved Christmas, not some egotistic jerkass.
* Tropers/Innocentdarkside: The episode where Bobby joins that youth group is just painful to watch. To recap: Hank walks in on Bobby jamming out to a popular rock artist...and of course, since everything new and hip is evil to Hank, he takes Bobby to Church where Reverend Stroop suggests having him join a Christian youth group run by a youth pastor who she speaks very highly of. Bobby, though skeptical at first, actually has a great time, and becomes much happier and more dedicated to his faith. But then Hank finds out it's one of those hip groups who love new rock and skateboarding, he goes to great lengths to try to get Bobby out of it. Why? Because it's not "proper." He even confronts the pastor running the group. When he asks Hank if being a good Christian or having a proper haircut is more important, Hank says something along the lines of "I'm not stopping 'til he has both!" From this moment on it's impossible to see Hank has anything but a controlling, whiny Jerkass trying to make Bobby an exact clone of him. Hell, even Peggy, Bill, Dale, and Boomhauer call him out on his behavior throughout the whole episode.

* flashsucks: ''Uh oh, Canada.'' We get it Mr. Judge, you love your country. You hate anyone who says otherwise. But don't stoop to this kind of shit. You've insulted cats, culture, and everything else that rubs your little head the wrong way, but don't force feed your tripe about how amazing your country does at the olympics or what your country invented, and just act like a smug little twerp when someone says otherwise. And that last scene with Peggy standing in front an American flag... patriotism is fine, Judge. Creating [[Straw Loser|unlikable, one-dimensional characters]] who are supposed to represent an entire country isn't. Not in any imaginable way. Is it any surprise this was from the [[Jump the Shark|last season?]]
Line 64:
* fluffything: As someone mentioned earlier, KOTH has no respect for people who own anything other than a dog. But, boy-oh-boy does it REALLY show in the episode "The Petriot Act". In the episode, after Bill volunteers to look after a soldier's pet and gets to watch a (of course) lovable playful dog, Hank volunteers as well and ends up with a cat (naturally, to his dismay). Now, does the episode center around Hank learning that cats are loving affectionate animals and that they can be as much fun as a dog? No, because that would mean KOTH could no longer glorify dogs. Instead, the cat (named "Duke") is a mean-spirited vicious animal that causes Hank nothing but misery. Oh, and to make matters worse, Bill is actually shown to be very popular with the dog he's looking after. [[Sarcasm Mode|Subtle, KOTH, real subtle]]. Between this and the equally horried snake episode (which someone else already mentioned), KOTH might as well just spend a half hour saying "Dogs are Jesus and all other pets are the Devil. Anyone who owns something other than a dog is a miserable freak". As a cat lover, I can say that KOTH can kindly kiss my butt for sinking so low.
* [[Tropers/Spider Fan 14|Spider Fan 14]]: "Pretty, Pretty Dresses" really gets me. First off, No one takes Bill trying to kill himself seriously. This is not cool, he needs psychological help and Hank and the gang make him out to be a ramboucs puppy that needs people to take days off of work to train him. Call a goddamn suicide prevention line! second, at the christmas party when Bill has a mental breakdown, the guests want to beat him up for wearing a dress. WTF? That just made the ep too much of a [[Cringe Comedy]] like the ep about Bobby trying to win back Connie after they break up.
{{quote| '''Peggy:''' We need to take him to a psychologist.<br />
'''Hank:''' He's just suicidal, Peggy. He's not crazy. }}
** "Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow" is major one. First off, its about Nancy losing her hair and deciding that its because of not cheating on Dale with John Redcorn, [[Character Derailment|who just decides to want to get back with Nancy for no fucking reason.]] All her friend's first reactions are for hr to go with it because Dale, who thinks he time traveled and the world will end, iscausing her stress. Its a disgusting use of [[The Unfair Sex]] as Dale is far more pity worthy in this regard. [[Straw Man Has a Point|Granted they do have a point]] but [[Dumbass Has a Point|Luanne points out having an affair is wrong]] [[Unfortunate Implications|and seems to be the only one doing so.]]
