>>85758875>What he mean when he said "how about those republicans?It's explained in the episode: Don't talk politics was one of the rules of being adult at the dinner table (joke being that actual serious discussions on politics can ruin a good time and that neither of the kids actually know shit about politics).
>Why are there no jokes? Ignoring the one I literally pointed out, there are some. Whether they make you laugh or not is subjective, sure, but they'd still be jokes, and they aren't hard to miss.
>Why do none of the characters act like their steriotype and just go mob personality with each other?Because the show makes attempts at not limiting each character to solely their stereotype. You can summarize them, but you shouldn't beableto say that's all they do. With a big family you get a lot of characters so to drive episodes you're going to get people separated into person vs group or group vs group conflicts. Some episodes do do better jobs than others in giving each featured characters some good moments.
