Mine would be the one where Hank catches Bobby smoking with his friends and then forces him into smoking several packs of cigarettes as a punishment! That was so stupid!
Green Goblin is great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1L4ZuaVvaw
The episode centered around competitive eating.
Followed closely by the episode where Bill injures himself trying to bulk up with his new weightlifting friends.
I agree about the church hopping episode being terrible but ultimate worst episode for me, was Mrs. Wakefield. I hated her and hated that episode, they should have called the police on her.

For me "Ms Wakefield" and "Pigmalion" are un-watchable, there are some weak efforts in the first & last seasons, but I can tolerate them..
Agree. Mrs. Wakefield and Pygmalion are the worst by far. Also any episode in which Hank feuds with a neighbor...whether it's the parents of the bully kid, the Canadians, or the former NFL player. All horrible episode that are painful to watch.
I always found the Peggy-centric and Dale-centric episodes to be the best. When they teamed up in "Peggy's Gone to Pots" to fake their own deaths, the lunacy was genius.

But based on reality. They are satirizing a real thing. Eventually Hank is instructing Bobby how to smoke--another classic example of an activity he disapproves of at first, then has to be the best at.
shareWe watch it every night and I grab my phone every time a Cotton episode comes on. I know it's a reality-based cartoon, but the whole idea of this shinless, angry elderly guy running around with an exhausted looking wife and impossibly young child wigs me out. Even Dee-Dee's monotone Stepford wife voice gets on my nerves.
share"Tears of an Inflatable Clown." Not necessarily my least favorite, but I've been thinking about what bugs me about it.
I actually like how Hank tries to teach Bobby management skills, and that Bobby takes it to heart. They should have concentrated on that. But the whole business with the diversity counselor seems forced and over-familiar. There's no particular reason for this one-off character to have shown up.
It's also unlikely that Bobby could have organized a full-scale professional carnival, and that the kids could have run it. Besides trained operators, you'd need insurance, permits, etc. Those points should at least have been addressed comedically. It's equally unlikely that Hank and his friends could have stepped in at a moment's notice and run all the rides and attractions. Couldn't the same lessons have been learned through organizing a more typical school-run carnival?
On the other hand, I could see Bobby, inspired by Hank's lessons, going out and hiring a professional carnival troupe, even wading through all the required bureaucracy. Maybe Lucky would provide his connection to the carny world, opening up a new set of conflicts as Bobby starts taking his advice over Hank's.
My least favorite is the one where Hank takes his mom and her friends to buy miniatures and they get caught up in spring break. I hate that episode.
My favorite is Hanky Panky and High Anxiety which is part 2. :)
