I'm on S12 E07 of my current watch-through:

Bobby is in charge of putting together a carnival at Tom Landry Middle School, but a school-appointed diversity counselor takes all of the fun out of it.

This one was pretty painful in the context of current-ish events. "Why are (some kind of people) annoying?" episodes didn't age nearly as well as Bobby getting gout.

Yeah the strawman in this one gets pretty rough but I forgive it because it gave us Clark Peters singing.

It's basically a shittier lower stakers version of the Powderpuff episode, which wasn't great to begin with.

The worst episode of the entire show if you all me. Even worse than Mrs Wakefield and Hank Fixes Everything. Though Trans Fascism is very close as well.

I still don’t get the hate for the Mrs. Wakefield episode. But yeah, the school fair episode is easily the worst one.

Trans-Fascism isn’t very good, but it is an interesting cultural moment. American Dad had a similar episode at the time and I’m pretty sure there were one or two other cartoons with a similar trans-fat ban episode.

If Hank wasn’t made out to be the villain by all the other characters Ms. Wakefield would have been fine.

Trans Fascism is at least almost saved by Hanks dream sequence.

Dale trying to get someone to die in his house and come back as a ghost to claim it's haunted is a good bit on it's own, but it only takes up a minute or so of the episode at most.

Then which episodes are worse? I agree it's not unwatchable, very skippable but not unwatchable. But no KotH is so bad to be unwatchable.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Accidental Terrorist is the worst episode. Hank has "his salesman" who rips him off? Well, S5E9 "Chasing Bobby" already established that he replaced his truck of 20 years at Pick-Up Truck Heaven. Where was that rip-off artist then? ???

The episode with the pernicious Canadian was way worse, at least the Mrs Wakefield episode has a kinda absurdist slasher movie pastiche, it had SOMETHING.

For the Canadian episode: they get in a fight about mower brands. How did the Canadian guy get his mower? Did he haul his with him to Texas all the way from Canada? Did he buy one just to prove a point? It strains credibility.

It is a bad episode because it makes Hank look like a moron who doesn't do any kind of research.

I could see it going either way and Hank having a blind spot in this case. On one hand, Hank himself is a salesman and has dealt with shady sales poo poo from Thatherton so he’s be wise to the gimmicks. On the other hand, Hank’s an honest salesman, so he could absolutely get suckered in by someone putting on that appearance.

Point is moot though because of pick up truck heaven plot hole.

Lol, speaking of continuity… what happened to the white truck?

I wouldn’t mind the terrorist episode so much if it didn’t end the way it did. It’s another episode where Bobby learns the exact wrong lesson.

Dusty’s realization at the end somewhat saves the zz-top episode. Otherwise it’s just another episode where Hank takes poo poo from his dad with more family members joining in.

Hank mentions at the end of the beauty pageant episode that it isn't actually a new truck and it was just his regular truck painted white.

I guess you're just supposed to assume he got it painted back right after.
